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.

I had figured he was getting sick, I didn't figure he was being poisoned! And the look on her face at the first meeting of her and Crixus, in an attempt to begin to father a son.. such a change by the time she was done. The details of the backstory are damn interesting.. now the finale has to be the rise of Crixus as champion.. I am looking forward to it.
