They went a direction I didn't expect at all, with some characters living I had thought were sure goners. The way they showed the scene with Asher, you get the understanding of why everyone else had that opinion from the get go. Loved it.
Yeah, Starz has actually had a good run of interesting programming lately. If you missed it, I really recommend "Pillars of the Earth" which was also very good as a mini series.
Yeah, the last 10 minutes... WOW. How cunning is she? She had planned it out two episodes it seems. I went back and started looking for when he started coughing, and it was present in the last episode, so it was before the death of Gaia... I had figured he was getting sick, I didn't figure he...

Brilliant start to the season last night; they picked up in late season form.. I enjoy the new characters, and am ready to enjoy watching the Celt's meteoric rise come to a screeching halt, and go through the rise of Crixus ;) The sight of the new Arena being built, and the story of the lutus...
