Lucy Lawless as Lucretia - Spartacus: Blood & Sand Promo
Suicideblonde & I finally got around to watching this triumph of television. We watched all 8 episodes in 24 hours, it was the best 24 hours of my life! It really is just a fantastically entertaining show. And the sex! Oh my darlings, the nudity! There’s something for everyone! Male bum, penis, lady bits, gay sex, lesbian sex, het sex, orgies orgies orgies! So much boob! And most importantly: Lucy Lawless boobs! Oh but she’s a magnificent creature, that one. She’s constantly being tended to by topless slave girls or thrust into by topless gladiators. And the violence is out of this world! So many beheadings! So much blood! The most deliciously gross acts of violence occur every episode & you’re left gasping from all the titillating sex or all the gratuitous violence. I love it so much! I wish I could give it an award! If Gladiator had been a pornographic horror television series, it would be Spartacus. If you haven’t watched it, I cannot recommend it enough.
To rate this series in Abed speak: 20% Clash Of the Titans, 30% Gladiator, 10% Tarantino, 10% Cecil B Demille, 10% 1980s Soap Opera, 20% Xena. Pepper it with some Buffy sass & Deadwood crass & you’ve got yourself a hit! It was created by one of the producers for Angel (Steven DeKnight) & is produced by, among others, Sam Raimi & Lucy Lawless’s husband Robert Tapert. Oh! And it has it’s own speak! Instead of saying “Thank you” the characters say “Gratitude”. Instead of “I’m sorry” they say “Apologies” and you could create a drinking game based on all the clever ways the writers use the word cock. It is camp perfected. I feel like maybe going & rewatching all the episodes right now.
