Hello! So now that got has ended I'm looking for some tv shows that I could watch after I'm done with my exams. Do you have any suggestions? I'm not looking for anything specific, although if you have watched some good period dramas, I'd love some recommendations. Also wanted to add how much I love your blog, it's really beautiful

tysm that’s so sweet!! i love giving recs so i’ve got a bunch that you might like under the cut; i’ve put a ♡ next to my favs

period dramas:

NEW WORLDS (2014)this one is a mini series, only 4 episodes long, but please don’t let that stop you! it’s about anti-monarchism and rebellion and forbidden love in the 1600′s & is set in both england and america. i cried more than once but the ending is so bittersweet and hopeful!!

POLDARK (2015—)i have a love/hate relationship with this one tbh. i started watching because of the main relationship but i ended up really into it for the side relationships instead?? the actual political plot doesn’t interest me but i love the drama between the family members. also i adore the women in this show, every single female character is well-written and realistic and you’ll love them all (even if at times you hate them). the men tho? the men are pretty much collectively the worst. “what’s wrong with the women in this family?” “the men.”

SPARTACUS (2010—2013) ♡i started watching this before i ever got into game of thrones but if you like the fight scenes in got, you’ll enjoy this! great characters, great fight scenes, great friendships. this one is based on gladiators who are fighting for their freedom.

THE WHITE PRINCESS (2017) ♡okay firstly and most importantly: jodie comer stars in this so you know it’s good. it’s also got michelle fairly (catelyn stark) in it though tbh she wasn’t my favourite character in this and i didn’t find her likeable at all. it’s not very historically accurate ofc but the relationship between henry/elizabeth is honestly the perfect enemies to lovers rep & always lowkey reminds me of book!sansa/jon possibilities

PAN AM (2011—2012)this one isn’t like game of thrones at all but it’s only one season and it’s super cute and has a lot of famous actresses in it like christina ricci & margot robbie. based on the adventures of a crew of pan am stewardesses, this is a good combination of lighthearted fun and chilling cold-war drama. an old favourite.

THE MUSKETEERS (2014—2016) ♡i’ll be gushing over this for years to come tbh it’s really just that perfect. the relationship between the musketeers is so lovely, the personification of ‘brotherhood’ really, but also the romantic relationships are really good too?? which for some reason i personally hadn’t expected. my fav couple is aramis/anne (anne is played by the actress who played roslin frey!) because the forbidden love & the respect and adoration between those two is just perfect but really every relationship (even the ones that don’t become endgame) are written very well

OUTLANDER (2014—)i haven’t watched every single episode of this one but from what i have seen it’s very good, and has some similar themes to game of thrones!! the sex scenes are epic, the main relationship is lovely, and overall its a very realistic show that features supernatural elements!

THE LAST KINGDOM (2015—) ♡i’m not going to lie: i started this series by skipping straight to 2x7 because i’d seen gifs of the relationship between aethelflaed and erik but it was so good i ended up going back and starting from the beginning! this show reminds me of ‘vikings’ more tham game of thrones but it’s not as gory and the characters aren’t all assholes. side note: if you love sansa stark as much as i do you’re gonna love aethelflaed, lady of mercia! she’s actually a real person but this show is based on a book series that looks super interesting! honestly the main character also kind of reminds me of jon snow

HARLOTS (2017—) ♡oh my gosh how do i describe this show?? the family dynamics are so! intricate! and! beautiful! honestly just stunning. everything about this show is s t u n n i n g. the costumes are colourful and vivid and honestly i’d recommend watching just for that but the storyline really does keep you hooked!! also: liv tyler and jessica brown findlay are love interests in this which is honestly a dream come true

BLACK SAILS (2015—2017)okay full disclosure; i haven’t actually seen this but i’ve heard very good things and it’s on my list!! it’s about pirates, i think there’s some queer rep (can anybody confirm??), and there’s lots of amazing women. again, allegedly.

dramas:

THE SOCIETY (2018—)i literally watched the entire first season in a single night so it must be alright, right? basically all you need to know about this is that a town full of teenagers go on a field trip & then return to find all their parents mysteriously missing and their town closed off from the outside world. it’s basically lord of the flies but modern! with some kick-ass friendships! and amazing young women (one literally teaches herself to be a doctor can you believe?)!

SHARP OBJECTS (2018)if you haven’t heard about this one yet idk what rock you’ve been living under but welcome back! this one is a m a z i n g but also hella chilling and the ending is such a shocker if it hasn’t been spoiled for you yet!

THE BOLD TYPE (2017—) ♡i always describe this one as ‘sex and the city for millennials’ but i’ve never watched a single sex and the city episode in my life so i honestly don’t know how accurate that is?? but it’s about a group of 20-something year old women who are best friends and work mates and they love each other so much?? the relationship between the girls is my favourite thing about the show but the show honestly tackles a lot of relevant issues; trump, age gaps, queer rep, immigration, racism, etc. i can’t recommend this enough!

CODE BLACK (2015—2018) ♡you know those episodes in greys anatomy where everything is life-or-death and you’re on edge for the whole episode? that’s basically every single episode of code black. this is hands-down one of my most rewatched shows ever. i love medical dramas and this one balances well written characters with action-packed medical miracles so honestly what’s not to like??

A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES (2018—)okay admittedly the only reason i watch this show is because of the main couple but i can’t help it when they’re just so gosh-darn cute!! they love each other so god damned much! i wasn’t completely sold on this straight away but by ep 3 i was HOOKED. if you like supernatural romances/dramas that are more mature than your usual cw show, this one is a good choice!

THE OA (2016—) ♡i can’t even put into words how much i adore this?? but also: it will confuse THE SHIT out of you. no matter how smart you are, this one will leave you scratching your head. basically: a group of people who’ve had near-death experiences get kidnapped and experimented on. it’s not as brutal as it sounds, in fact the show is exceptionally beautiful, but it does deal with some hard themes and the good guys don’t always win.

12 MONKEYS (2015—2018)do you like time travel? do you like forbidden and yet totally-still-devoted-to-one-another-anyway love? then this is the show for you! this one is dark and gritty and deals pretty realistically with the concept of time travel & self-sacrifice and what people will give up to create a better world. it’s got a happy ending & you wont regret watching!

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (2018)oh this one will make you cry. in a good way though! long story short a family grows up in a haunted house and it affects them in ways they cannot imagine. it’s hauntingly beautiful and poetic and everybody should watch it at least once imo

comedies:

THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL (2017—)okay so this one counts as a period drama as well but it’s about a COMEDIAN so i put it in the comedy section lol. okay so long story short, a woman is left by her husband, she’s worth 1000 of him & everybody else knows it because you seriously can’t help falling in love with this woman but ofc there’s period-typical sexism she has to face as she struggles with being a single woman, a single mother, and an up-and-coming comedian. def recommend.

SANTA CLARITA DIET (2017—2019)drew barrymore is a zombie!! who lives a normal life but also eats people!! it’s only weird for the first couple of eps. the family dynamics are snarky and witty and they manage to make gore funny?? honestly this entire show is legit laugh-out-loud darkly hilarious.

#if you like any of these & want some recs that are similar please feel free to send another message!#i've got some movies you might like as well #cool ask tag

Rewatching “Gotham” S3E13

Cue all the “Face/Off” jokes for this arc. All of them.

The rest of these reaction posts I’ll be uploading are not chronological order. They’re like that because A) college and B) more college.

My sister watched it with me (as well as the other episodes left in my epic “Gotham” reaction series) so my comments will be in bold, and hers will be in regular font. Author’s notes courtesy of me will be bolded and italicized.

AN: I managed to record our reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post.

*both immediately start fawning over Smol Bruce in the Netflix thumbnail*

“Previously on Gotham...” Some bullshit.

SOME BS!

“What you call sanity... it’s just a prison in your minds.” That is such an edgelord line, Oh my God!

*snaps fingers along with "Papa Oom Mow Mow” by Gary Glitter*

Why are they sampling “Elvira”?

AN: “Elvira” by the Oak Ridge Boys actually sampled this song. This version of the song is a cover and the original is by the Beach Boys.

“Three nines, and joker’s wild.” *rolls eyes*

*sarcastically* Geez, I wonder whose episode it is...

*laughs*

[Dwight appears] *in best Christian Bale Batman voice* Schmiff! Thomas Schmiff! He’s a paranoid schizophrenic from Arkham!

*starts mouthing along with song*

What just happened?

They had to get in.

Yeah, I know, but how did that guy suddenly switch over to their side?

He was working for them the whole time.

OK.

*Dwight starts maniacally laughing once he finds Jerome’s body* Oh damn... that’s a damn good laugh.

That is a really good laugh

*jams along with opening theme*

Does it open up with them stealing the body? That better be where it opens up.

Yeah, it’s when they steal the body.

*smiles*

*Jim and Harvey find the empty vessel covered with the symbol* Oh what the shit...

That's their little cult symbol. Which has been popping up since a few episodes after Jerome’s death in S2, and you see that everywhere and you go “Wait a minute!”

*smiles when Lucius appears*

Is he security for Arkham or what?

No, he’s R & E. Yeah, he still works for Wayne-

Ohhh OK...

-but he's like back up for Lee at the GCPD.

Oh OK.

And I’m like “Wait? You’re also an ME?” Everybody can be an ME in this show!

Everybody’s got like 15 different conflicts of interest on this show.

I know.

Nobody should be allowed to investigate anything.

*chuckles*

Where the hell are we?

That’s Wayne Manor.

I know that actor [who plays Cole] somewhere! I know that voice!

I don’t know that actor.

AN: He’s played by P.J. Marshall, who was in “Luke Cage” and was the cop that always got on Kit Darling in the first half or so of “American Horror Story: Freak Show”

Alfred looks like he’s ready to punch a bitch. *laughs*

He looks like he’s about to lay that guy the hell out.

I know.

And they established in the last episode that they [Bruce and Alfred] really like Selina and her mom coming back together.

Ohhh OK.

“Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I [Cole] would never hurt a woman.” *both give a dubious look*

“However, I [Cole] would feel justified in giving the police enough evidence so that your little girlfriend [Selina] could only talk to her mama every other Thursday through a screen for the next 40 years.” Go to hell, dude.

*whispers* He’s [Bruce] so much Batman!

“So, you [Bruce] give Maria the money, she gives it to me; I’m [Cole] out of your lives. Cash, obviously.” The only thing you’re owed, dude, is a bullet between the eyes.

Now see, look at this pose [of Bruce thinking in his chair]. Look at that pose. Oh my gosh, that’s a Michael Keaton pose!

That is!

Oh my gosh...

“He [the cult follower Jim and Harvey arrested] should have been taken to a hospital.” Oh yeah, and Jim and Lee are like *imitates two cats fighting each other while aggressively clashing hands together*

Why wasn’t he taken to a hospital?!?

“James Gordon. The James Gordon.... wow. It’s actually you.” You sure know how to pick ‘em, Dwight.

Y’know, these extras playing the cult members must be having the time of their lives. It’s like “Yeah! We get to wear crazy hair and outfits!“

Oh yeah. They’re gonna be like chewing the scenery within an inch of its life.

Oh yeah!

Look at that dude’s crazy eyes though!

I know! He could have played Renfield in “Dracula”

I know.

*Dwight sets up his workshop with another cult member* Looks like Rufio fell on hard times.

*Dwight strokes Jerome’s cheek* Don’t do thaaattt....

Ohhhh my God.... LIFE! LIFE, DO YOU HEAR ME?!? GIVE MY CREATION LIFE!

LIIIIIIFFFFEEEEEE!!!

*both laugh*

*Dwight laughs* Maniacal laugh... maniacal laugh...

GOD HE’S [Dwight] JUST HAVING SO MUCH FUN! *laughs*

You know they’re getting paid like really well.

Oh I’m sure!

“’Unsurprisingly, there have already been calls "for the mayor's resignation. "The clearly disturbed Mayor Cobblepot-’” ‘Clearly disturbed?’ HOW LONG did it take you to realize that?

“Mayor Crumblepot.” *stifles a laugh*

“Is Ed here?” *rolls eyes*

“Who cares what people think of the mayor? The city runs itself.” *chuckles*

You’re a dumbass!

“[Oswald] So get up, take a shower, do that disco vampire thing thing with your hair.” *both crack up*

“[Barbara] Why are you helping me?” Because you’re a walking garbage fire, Oswald, who needs all the help you can get.

*laughs* Yes!

Get your priorities in order, Oswald.

*claps hands* Duuuuuudde....

His [Bruce] voice is so deep and he’s such a smol bab!

I knowww! I don’t know how old David is when they filmed this. I think he’s like 16 or 17.

He’s a smol bab!

“Maybe they [the cult symbols] were here the whole time and we just didn’t notice..” That’s probably a safe bet.

I’m pretty sure that’s the No Man’s Land map that they’re [Lucius is] using.

Niicee...

“That amount-” “Would cause a power surge in the electric grid.” “...I [Harvey] was about to say that would cause a power surge in the electric grid...” *chuckles*

*chuckles* Sure you were, Harvey.

“I’ll just... stay here... if that’s OK.” Lucius, you’re amazing.

Feels like he’s the only person right now at the GCPD, besides Harvey, who has any common sense.

He’s great!

Because I’m starting to really question what kind of goblins are currently inhabiting James Gordon’s brain.

It’s Season 3, I’m sure there’s a lot.

“Try turning it on and off.” “I [Dwight] did! 3 times.” *both laugh*

He’s the IT guy.

*laughs* Have you tried turning it on and off again?

*pauses when Dwight electrocutes a guy for interrupting him*

Jesus God! Was that a cattle prod?!? What was that?!?

I don’t know. Cattle prods are long and skinny though.

The hell was that?!?

They’re kinda like a fly swatter.

*Dwight starts cutting off Jerome’s face* :[

Aauuuugghhh... nooooooooooo, we’re not doing this.

The production design and set for this [Dwight’s lab] is pretty cool, I gotta say.

Uh, somebody put that wire out before it sets fire to the whole place.

Oh please God!

“Holy smokes, is that Jerome?“ No, it’s Jeremiah. *laughs*

Yeah, and they took his face...

*in unison* Off!

*both laugh*

‘Cause they wanted to take his face...

*in unison* Off!

*both laugh*

I couldn’t not, I’m sorry!

“Brothers and sisters, I [Dwight] promised you Jerome would return...” *sing songs* And I brought you his faaaccee!!

But it’s...

*in unison* Off!

*both freaking lose it*

“The Prophet is here.” But it’s just his face!

[breathing unsteadily] *thumbs up* Great.

“We are all... Jerome.” Don’t think that’s gonna be good enough.

*The crowd takes to calling themselves Jerome* Oh, OK.

“You’re Jerome. And you...” *laughs* And you’re Jerome! And you’re Jerome! And you’re Jerome!

Oh, c’mon! They were going for the obvious “I am Spartacus.”

WE ARE JEROME! We are Jerome and so’s my wife!

OK, that actually worked better than I thought.

If he [Jerome] just gets straight off that [Lee’s] examination table, I am gonna flip shit!

*points and yells excitedly when Jerome’s hand twitches*

“So, let’s find out who the traitor is, shall we?” Jesus God...

“Good bluff.” “Thank you, sir.” That was awesome!

*softly* I know...

And that was a bluff?!?

Yeah, there’s moments like that where it’s like “Man, Jim! You’re a badass!”

*chuckles*

*both chuckle when Barbara dramatically puts a hand to her chest*

“They don’t respect you, Oswald. In fact, you probably want to kill Tommy Bones and the Duke. Just clean house.” *chuckles*

*both start to giggle when Oswald does*

“[Barbara] Do you really think I [Oswald] would be so easy to manipulate?” YES!

YES!

YES YOU WERE!

YES!

You are not nearly as clever as you think you are, Oswald! You are the Cersei Lannister of Gotham City! You were down on the count for God knows how long.

For like an episode.

A lot happens in an episode!

True. In the span of like 5 minutes probably. I dunno, maybe like 10 or 15.

*shakes head*

“Your day is done, freak.” *raises eyebrows in surprise*

“Then Nygma dies.” “What?!?” “Walk away quiet. Maybe we’ll send him back in one piece. We’ll even let you [Oswald] keep being mayor.” *shakes head* Hey look, you are that easy to manipulate.

Can we like take a shot every time Penguin goes into rage spitting mode?

Yeaaahhhh!!

Oh my gosh. Take a shot!

See, Barbara just played you [Oswald] like a freaking fiddle, dude.

I’m sorry... the schadenfraude of it all.

*both end up discussing the correct pronunciation of ‘schadenfraude’

*mutters* Freaking Germans...

*laughs*

I’m German [descent], I can make fun of myself.

He’s [the mole] doing a Batman voice.

“No one ever stops being a cop. You [the mole] were here when Jerome and the Maniax attacked.” ‘Maniax?’ That’s what they’re calling themselves?

Well, Jerome and his little group [in the beginning of S2] were like *in best Jerome voice* “We’re the Maniax!” and whatever.

‘Maniax,’ with an X. Because edgy.

No one can spell!

*Jim decides to switch from good cop to bad cop on the mole* Oooh!

*Jim punches the mole across the face* Jesus God!

*both freeze in shock when Harvey takes over for punching*

OH MY GOD, Jim’s just like *puts hands on head* “Oh my God...”

I don’t think you’re allowed to do thaaat...

I mean, they bring it up in the show. There’s certain interrogation laws that you have to follow.

Yeah, manhandling a suspect is a no-no!

“Damn...” Damn instead.

She’s [Lee] like “Yeah, whatever.” STONE COLD!

“[Jim] Don’t touch me [Lee]!” *so done*

“Really? Did I [Lee] not just see Harvey punch him in the face?” *finger guns at screen in agreement*

“[Jim] You brought a wounded suspect into the precinct instead of taking him to the hospital, because you wanted to interrogate him.” *claps hands with each word* GO OFF, LEE!

Yes!

“Look, you [Lee] want to blame me [Jim] for Mario’s death, that’s fine.” *so done*

“But don’t let your hatred of me turn you into something you’re not.” And plus the funeral for Mario was a few days ago.

*claps hands with each word* It’s way too soon! It’s way too soon for her to be back at work!

I’m like “Lee, no!”

*sings* Take a break!

Like I said, all of her character development comes from people screwing her over.

I know!

“[Jim] Don’t ever touch me [Lee] again or tell me what to do.” You know, it’s your fault, Jim. This is entirely your fault.

Yeah. It is.

“We’ve got a show to do, people! And, as you know, the show must go on.” *starts singing “The Show Must Go On” from “Moulin Rouge”*

*Jerome surprises Lee from behind the door* Oh Jesus.

It’s allliiiiivveeee!!

“Hey, maybe you’re [Jerome] dreaming. Try shooting yourself.” Pfftt!

“Nah!” *both chuckle*

*mouths along with Jerome saying “Lunatics AND idiots?”*

“You know, I [Jerome] was just reborn. Last year was nothing but darkness... as far as the eye could see.” *softly* God, you’re so edgy.

“Hey, did you and I ever, uh...” *slightly disgusted, trying not to laugh*

*scoffs in hilarity* Did he just use the gun-

Yeah, yeah he did. *ends up giggling anyway*

Oh my God...

AN: And it was totally improvised at the moment by Cameron. Because OF COURSE HE DID.

AN: Hi, welcome to my blog, where we have to keep kinkshaming Cameron Monaghan.

*both make loud disgusted noises when Jerome tries licking Lee*

“How’s it going between you [Lee] and Jimbo?” It’s not.

“Oh that’s a shame. I really liked you guys.” *giggles into her sleeve*

Jerome shipped it.

*absolutely cracks up at Jerome’s reaction when Lee tells him about Jim killing Mario on her wedding night*

He’s like “Whhaat?!?”

Oh my God....

“I see your point.” *scoffs in hilarity*

“Theo Galavan’s dead.” *sighs* For how long?

“Ohhhhh.... who beat me to it?” “W-Which time?” *giggles*

Oh just wait until you get into the regular Batman canon. Death is gonna be about as permanent as a hiatus.

It always looked like it has rained in this city!

They should shoot in Seattle for now on.

Didn’t I tell you [Cole] to go to hell the last time, dude?

“Hey.... smile!” No.

No! Bullshit.

No.

“Selina! Please... don’t.” Yes. Do!

*cracks up when the cult members write down Dwight’s speech on giant note cards for him to use*

“The cult will never follow you, Dwight. I [Jim] saw you... at the theater? You don’t have what it takes!” Oh. Really?

“Well, for the record, you’re doing one thing Jerome never did: boring me.” *both lean back in shock*

Whoooooooooo hooo hoooooo!!

Daaammn! That was pretty great.

Ohhh my God!

See, James, when you’re not being a complete dumbass-

He’s amazing! He’s great!

“We’ve [Barbara and Tabitha] got Option A: appeal to their reason, convince them we alone can protect them from Penguin-” “Seems unlikely. They are men.” Pfft!

*both crack up when “Ave Maria” starts playing when Tabitha guns down all the other gang leaders*

“Yeah, yeah, Option B.” *chuckles*

*Dwight goes on air with Jerome’s face on* That’s creepy as shit!

That is really creepy, just the [gesture Dwight did when he corrected himself]

“Look at that. No charisma, no stage presence.” I dunno, he’s [Dwight] doing pretty well.

*laughs reading the news bulletin bars on the TV being changed to ‘HahAhaHAhaHA’*

Oh my God!

Jesus God, where are all those wires attached to?!?

I don’t know...

If he [Jim] shoots his [Dwight’s] ass on live television, that would be the most karmic thing...

*Jim and the Strike Force infiltrate the studio* Oh my God!

*Jim tackles Dwight to the ground* Boom! Hoo hoo!

That was a great quick panning shot.

Niiice...

*in dramatic voice* Meanwhile at W Manor...

*raises eyebrows in shock when Selina tries to goad Bruce into fighting her*

“You know, the only reason she [Maria] came back to Gotham, the only reason she tracked me [Selina] down... was you [Bruce].” Here’s my question: how did she know her daughter and Bruce were a thing?

Yeah, that doesn’t add up.

How did that happen? How did she figure that out?

*laughs at all the fans telling Dwight they love him*

This actor is having the time of his life.

Oh, he totally is.

“Where’s Dwight?” “I saw a uni walking him that way.” Ohhhh...

*Jim and Harvey find a dead cop* Ohhh what is that [sticking out of the dead cop’s chest]?!?

Oh my God!

What is that?!?!?

*both yell and reel back in horror when Jerome starts stapling his face back on*

And that’s a prosthetic.

Jesus God.

And he [Jerome] actually sounds different from the first time we saw him because Theo stabbed him in the neck [in S2] and it hit his vocal cords.

Yeeeppp...

“Say... you’re not mad, are you?” “Mad? What could I [Jerome] possibly be mad about?” “Y’know, the whole... cutting off your face...” Pfft!

“Oswald?” *leans back in surprise*

*Oswald loses contact with Ed* Ed’s probably like “Hell yeah!” and snaps the phone.

*chuckles*

“Kane Chemicals! Let’s go! Move!” You are walking right into a trap, Oswald.

“Hi. Some you you may know... I died.” *scoffs in hilarity*

“Tonight, Gotham, in the darkness... there are no rules.” You keep pulling out these edgelord lines! I know you can do better than that, dude.

“I [Jerome] don’t forgive you [Dwight] for my face.” *tries to stifle a laugh*

“We need a bird [chopper] to go now!” You guys aren’t gonna make it! You’re not gonna make it!

*pops hand toward screen when the power plant blows*

*All the power goes* Ohhhhhh schnap.

Oh shit!

*Closing title pops up* Ohhh hoo hoo....

*reels back in surprise* OK...

OK...

ONTO THE NEXT EPISODE!

Spartacus: Vengeance Rewatch - Episode 1: Fugitivus

Sex Scene: All of them. They went to a whorehouse.

“Cock”: 4

“Cunt”: 2

“Kill Them All”: 0 (I wonder if this is said at all in S2 or 3)

“Fucking Gaul”: 3

Slow motion Face Punch:0

Episode Name Dropped by: Aurelia

Memorable Death: Aurelia

Favourite Line: “We must stand as one, or fall divided.”

- This is the greatest way they could have introduced the new Spartacus actor. It was amazing.

- Spartacus facing down that horse is beautiful.

- AGRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- DONAR!! =]

- He’s still throwing his bloody sword.

- I love that Donar has this axe thing, it’s awesome and sets him apart from the other gladiators.

- This beginning fight scene is so well done.

- Agron oh gosh. He’s so angry, so crazed by his grief. Everyone is so wary of him, but like he lost his brother. My poor baby.

- “I believe the man dead.” – the moment I fell in love with Donar and his bromance with Agron.

- I can always rely on Agron to say “cock”

- Spartacus has never really been a savage until right now when he carves a message into a dead guy’s chest. Seriously, wtf.

- I’m so in love with Agron’s necklace.

- Ha! Rome, it looks like it’s still being built. That’s hilarious.

- Pompey mention!

- What is with all those masks?! How fucking creepy.

- “Where youth plummets, maturity may soar.”

- As someone who hasn’t ever paid any interest in wars, all this undoubtedly historically accurate war talk is super boring.

- Everyone under the sun is named Marcus

- Varinius!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man, seriously. Just, Brett Tucker is an Aussie actor that has been in basically everything! I can’t take him seriously.

- AND HE FUCKING SAID MONGRELS!

- Seriously this triangle between Ilithyia, Varinius, and Glaber is basically the entire subplot of S2.

- The one thing I get super bored of in Spartacus is men and their egos.

- Mira is literally in the sewers and she’s still a queen.

- Oh hey, the Veteran!

- The kid that says “I will kill many Romans” looks like Tyler Lockwood from Vampire Diaries.

- You can actually see Mira’s face fall when Aurelia comes into view. Like she knows that when Aurelia is around Spartacus can see no one else. It’s not a romantic thing, it’s a Varro thing.

- Agron and Donar bromance, I love it. Almost makes up for Duro’s death, almost.

- The Gauls are mostly comprised of New Zealanders – just an observation.

- I sometimes can’t believe that the gladiators treat the house slaves so poorly and sometimes don’t seem to give a fuck about any slaves still in chains.

- “Rabbits” - I still don’t understand this.

- Oh, Acer.

- Yessss Mira!!!!!

- Oh the showdown between the Gauls and the rest of the slaves is so intense and beautifully done.

- I really like that even with the new actor they still put all the same scars on him. Good job.

- Oh gosh. Mira loves Spartacus so much…..and S2 Spartacus clearly cares for her way more than he did in S1, but still. She deserves better.

- “I have proven troublesome to kill.”

- Gah, the thing with Spartacus in S2 is he cares more about killing Romans than protecting the other slaves. At least Mira and even Agron are there to pick up the slack.

- “I hear you wish to command my men.” – when I first heard this I thought it very antagonistic, like the fractions were splitting apart. But it’s more of Spartacus being the head honcho, and Crixus being a General that leads his own fraction but still reports to Spartacus. Warfare is not my thing but I’m learning.

- Yeah, because a curtain is going to give you so much privacy. Everyone can still hear you guys.

- “Did his blood bear fruit?”

- Trebius! Ah!

- Arena games!!! Oh how I miss you!

- Seppia really freaking frustrates me. She is so childish and has no idea the kinds of games she’s playing. She’s a fool.

- Seppius and Seppia are fucking right? That’s what they’re implying? A whole bunch of incest? I wanna hate it but I can see it.

- I don’t understand how the gladiator fights could be boring? Or how Batiatus’ gladiators could have made it more entertaining? You’re still watching two dudes kill each other.

- I haven’t even watch Star Wars but Oenomaus in that cloak gives me Jedi vibes.

- That guy in the alley gives me Pirates of The Caribbean vibes.

- On one hand whenever I see Oenomaus I’m like “Don’t hurt this precious baby.” But then again “Hell yes baby you kick their asses!”

- Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!! Arm bone through the skin!!!!!!! Shit! Knife through the eye!!!!! Ah! Right through the jaw!!!!! Oenomaus is such a badass!

- Aurelia talking about how much she wants to go back to Janis. Well, you shouldn’t have left him in the first place! Her pride was as foolish as any man’s.

- “That lopsided grin. Eye’s promising mischief. I’ve seen in many times, upon his father.” –seriously my shipper heart. Spartacus loved Varro, it’s canon.

- “I fell to love the crooked bend of Varro's lips long before the man himself.” “As did I.” – IT’S MOTHERFLIPPING CANON I TELL YOU.

- I mean Spartacus can be a kind man when he wants to. He’s just very single minded.

- Gotta give their art department props. Having a fake pregnant woman be naked, and it look real….like damn, they deserve a pat on the back.

- I am loving Ilithyia’s purple gown thing though, wowzah.

- Marcus Crassus mention again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- “She was a fucking bitch” – I find that fucking hilarious.

- Agron said bleat! Goat reference! My shipper heart!

- Wow, Spartacus said “whores” somehow that’s more shocking than anything else on this show.

- I love Agron’s loyalty to Spartacus but I wish Spartacus would see it too. In this season and the next he kind of treats Agron like crap.

- “You had me at whores.” – I love Donar.

- “Avoid unnecessary risk.” Sparty, baby, do you realise who you talking to?!

- Loving the idea of Mira, Donar, and Agron planning behind Spartacus’ back. These are the people who want to protect the other slaves, not spend every day covered in Roman blood.

- “As are all things, in pursuit of a woman.” Gotta love the salty gay trope. Agron pulls it off swimmingly.

- “I will tell Janis of you. Of the man who loved his father above all others.” CANON. I really didn’t ship Spartacus and Varro this much the first time around.

- “I gave my word. Blood and Honour. It yet speaks to the man.” as said in S1.

- Gladiators in hoods is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Woman with a massive dildo fucking a dude. Yep.

- Oh! I think this is the first penis shots we’ve had in a while.

- Guy on Guy sex. Well then. So much gay sex in this series, it’s glorious.

- The four guys throwing the girl around makes me super fucking uncomfortable, especially when you can hear her. She is so not enjoying this.

- Another memorable death = dude jerking off and just as he’s about to finish, gets a sword through his throat.

- It’s gotta suck so bad for all these guys that are dying with their dicks out. Especially that guy that got a sword right between the legs. Ouch.

- Never noticed but there’s a very very large woman in the whorehouse and a skinny guy on all fours in front of her. I’m so curious about what’s happening there.

- How many innocent body slaves died in this attack???

- Poor boy with cum all over his face.

- Trebius is so fucking disgusting. Peeing all over that girl.

- I get that this girl is probably horrendously traumatized but she really have to go and kill the only lead they had to Naevia.

- AGRON KICKING THE SHIT OUTTA TREBIUS COS HE SOLD HIM AND DURO TO BATIATUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahh my heart!

- I seriously hate Spartacus in this scene and it kind of tainted him for me. He’s telling Agron that he can’t kill Trebius as revenge for Duro, BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SPARTACUS IS DOING WITH GLABER! He’s such a fucking hypocrite!

- Crixus sticking his hand inside Trebius’ gut is so gross.

- I get that Glaber is angry at Ilithyia but she clearly has some PTSD that is triggered by that house and he’s forcing her to stay there. Not cool.

- OVER THE CLIFF!! Yes Ilithyia!

- There’s no logical reason for that mask to be there, except to provoke memories.

- Flashback penis.

- I never noticed but Ilithyia has a really big mouth.

- I honestly thought the figure was gonna be Spartacus, I was so surprised to see Lucretia.

- Lucretia being out of her freaking mind is magical. All the props to the actress.

- “What fragments her shattered mind yet holds.”

- Seriously, the male ego.

- Old woman slave = headcanon that she ran the whole Battiatus household. Also, that young boy slave is super attractive, how has Agron not noticed this?!?

- “Grab your fucking cock.” – oh wait, maybe he has! Ha!

- Foreshadow of Agron not thinking house/body salves are worth much. Ahhhhhhh how wrong he shall be ;)

- “We knew this day would come” SPARTACUS YOU MADE THIS DAY COME, YOU WROTE A FUCKING MESSAGE! Gah!

- Angry little lost boy. Agron is my fave if you can’t already tell.

- “That is no longer my title.” – poor baby.

- “There is but one place for an animal without honour.”

- Singleminded Spartacus is one of my least faves.

- I love how they take Lucretia way back to the drought, to before Spartacus killed Theokoles.

- I really love how in this show they show woman with pubic hair, COS IT’S FUCKING NATURAL and women shouldn’t have to shave because society tells them to.

- “Smashed upon the cliffs.” – foreshadowing!

- Argh! This leaning back shit women do during sex scenes on tv annoys the hell outta me. That move is done purely for the male viewers. For the women doing it, it’s really fucking awkward.

- “You bark as a dominus.” “Sheep stand idle if not prodded by snapping jaw.” – I love Agron and Donar moments.

- “Let us compare teeth and have answer.” – they are basically talking about comparing dick sizes right?????

- Lucretia with dark hair and wearing a purple dress. Goddess.

- “Do not shed fucking tear.”

- Fucking love that Lucretia is the one to spot Spartacus.

- Seppius rolling his eyes at Glaber. Me too, bro, me too.

- Ah the foreshadow of Glaber and Seppia. Yuck.

- The rebels coming to Spartacus’ aid. I love their loyalty.

- Seriously Donar and his axe.

- Agron picking up Aurelia and throwing her over his shoulder. It’s hilarious because she is so freaking tiny compared to him, and also cos he’s super gay and doesn’t understand females at all.

- Lucretia and Crixus seeing each other again is super powerful.

- MIRA with a “fucking Gauls.” Did not see that coming.

- “Do any of us hold fucking worth to you?”

- Mira’s little rant to Spartacus is all well and good, but did she have to be mean to Agron.

- The Spartacus and Crixus bromance is strong in S2.

- VENGEANCE NAME DROP.

- Agron looks so little, so small and young. My baby.

- I still fucking hate Aurelia.

- I do love that Agron was willing to go and fight Glaber because of Aurelia, someone he didn’t even seem to like at all.Baby’s got a heart.

- THE BEGINNING OF THE REBEL ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!YAAAAAS!

Aww here we go again.

Welcome back to inconsistently scheduled Riverdale season 4 live blog review. I'm your host university student number 7005 who should be asleep but is bored at 3am so is going to watch the newest episode of a show they don't like yet are unfortunately addicted to. Yes I know long name, they had to print a special sized birth certificate for me. Ight let's do this.

Okay watching the recap I'm loving being reminded that Stonewall is a terrifying place. Oh ya, its american Thanksgiving, welcome to the Turkeysode.

I'm sorry Hiram is already mayor. Man time jumps in this show are getting crazy. Also didnt they just elect a mayor like months ago I mean I know she was arrested but was no one doing the job at the time? Geeze Dogger's got a crime family, and there going after Archie!! Oh I'm so shocked. I bet Hiram wishes Veronica was as easy as Hermione. Okay, I'm going to have to keep the comments shorter and better spaced because I cant keep up with the show.

There are other professional people in the world that can help with the whole Baxter Brothers thingy. Does this school not allow cellphones? Why is Jug just using a random rotary phone like he is in prison?

Toni idk how often someone has to say this but like gtfo. The crazy-hot scale isn't really a thing but like let's say Cheryl has reached maximum hotness.

I'm still confused about the fact that Hiram won as mayor, do ballets not have a no vote option? Just because someone is running unopposed doesn't mean they have to win. Like the town does know and remember to some extent the damage he did to it and their children right? Ugh how do I shut off the logic half of my brain??

Man the only character I feel bad for ever is FP, he and Fred where the closest thing to real in this whole gosh darn show. WTF IS JELLYBEAN?? Like Betty is with Jug and the parents are getting busy but there is a teenager who lives there right?

Gotta say Veronica's little Papi moment was quite enjoyable.

WHAT! A Secret society within an old private school that looks like it came out of a family skit? Colour me shocked, confused and dismayed.

Dinner with the enemy.

Oh new killer? Or is Jug going to become part of the "secret society ooohhhh" ( imagine spooky ghost voice and perpendicular jazz hands, think I used that word wrong but what ever.)

K it was a fake attack.

I've had to pause because riverdale is quick to answer/spoil their own moments. (Side note I was going to make a comment about that)

Oh is this lady going to go after Archie's mom?

I'm sorry who assigns a suicide note as an assignment.

I've been waiting for this deep fryer to finally explode.

Oh tell them it was Hiram. Just be like the mayor did it then they will try to kill Hiram and he will go after Dogger and clan. 2 rats one shotgun.

That's a dumb rule, finish the flask I mean I know that was the an but still. Is Betty going to get caught? Nope.

Lol knives to a gun fight.

Archie does have a hero complex but he didn't beat Dogger. (I know no one can tell I've paused because this isn't like a live film but I am pausing at 24:54 to say I think the lady is going to shoot Archie's mom. Kk back to the show.)

Sad face I was wrong. Wait did she do it? Is the Turkey going to explode? Oh man there going to do an I'm Spartacus moment arnt they. Yep it's a yep. Lol touching display. All of 3 people.

Yay turkeysplosion. I've never had hand. Also, they are going to call the cops but FP had been drinking. Like I know Hiram didnt set this up but that's how its going to go.

I mean I dont want him to go to jail but I really want FP to kill Hiram. He is a literal cockroach.

Did they eat the uncle?? Oh frick ya. I'm down for unnecessary cannibalism. Toni looks legit perturbed. Lol they didn't even eat the pies. Oh my God, faking cannibalism or did they actually cook him up? You know what idk I like the implication. You know what Adams family with a sprinkle of gothic Blossoms is quite entertaining in a stupid way.

Wait hasn't Jug tried to cover up several murders. Also they are letting played. The tie pin, way to easy. Lol sex with the student, come one Betty, she's playing you.

Poor FP, welp riverdale is back to it's normal setting, Kingpin mayor and Gangleader Sherrif, that's the riverdale I know and am confused about.

WTF is up with that doll.

Thank you Betty for not being a complete dumb dumb. Eww not the headmaster he probably runs the secret society. OMG, that is the most obvious camera. Normal people would have noticed the giant obnoxious flashing red light and no one can tell me otherwise. Like if my power bar is facing me it ends up being a complete distraction. Jug claimed to have searched that half of the room so I'll give him the benefit of maybe saying they put the camera their afterwards but still. I found my episodes pet peeve. Who doesn't notice such a large camera. Like I don't understand. Donna "coming clean" lolololololol. I love how secret societies work. "Case closed" life is so convenient for the rich.

Okay ghosts are real, Riverdale has confirmed it. First the doll now Fred.

I will admit that was a touching end. With that I am done its 4:15 in the morning. I have class in 5 hours, and an appointment in 2. Good by and I'll see yall next week, for another episode of Why am I here.

#Riverdale season 4 episode 7 #riverdale spoilers #wtf am i doing #wtf is this show #go to sleep

Spartacus: Blood and Sand Rewatch - Episode 8: Mark of the Brotherhood

Sex Scene: 2 (plus every gladiator is having sex)

“Cock”: 5

“Cunt”: 1

“Kill Them All”: 0

Whip Cracks: 3

Slow motion Face Punch: 0

Episode Name Dropped by: Crixus

Memorable Death: Recruit #4, fucking Segovax showing off killed the poor dude.

Favourite Line: “I am a villain, but I’m not your villain”

- OH THIS IS WHEN WE GET SOME GERMAN BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!

- Dude sliced between the thighs, yikes.

- There are goats just before we see Agron …… my little shipper heart.

- I love the riddles Batiatus and Solonius speak in, like I know you killed the dude I paid to kill you and you know I ordered your death …. Now what.

- Ah! Trebius hit Agron, that shit.

- DURO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can you tell who my favourite characters are???

- The biggest downfall of the men on this show is their pride. If they cared a little less about it they all could have lived very content lives.

- Oh gosh, the Crixus Lucretia sex scene is so painful to watch.

- “I fear you have not quaked”

- Could you imagine being Naevia? Watching the man you love be forced to have sex with your master?

- The random gladiator screaming “you’re gonna die” is hilarious

- Duro is laughing at the gladiators, fuck I love him

- There’s a slave in the background that looks an awful lot like Pietros…weird, considering he died last episode

- AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AGRON AND DURO!!!! That’s all this episode is going to be about.

- Ugh, no. The cringey Doctore speech is back

- Talking about buying a gladiator sounds like they’re buying a dog

- Poor babies, I just….. anytime any of them are “asked” to do something I get all uncomfortable cos they’re slaves man, they have no free will, it’s just horrible when you really think about it.

- Agron’s arse though ;)

- Penis!!! Haven’t had one of those in a while, and this one more than makes up for it…. Like can you imagine the casting direction for this “Okay, we need someone with a huge dick, no this isn’t a porno, I’m serious”

- Agron checking out Segovax’s junk… equal parts jealous and turned on.

- CRASSUS MENTION ooohhhhh

- Ilithyia can be such a bitch and I really don’t like the way she talks to Lucretia… but then again Lucretia does the same to Ilithyia so like, they are perfect for each other…totally toxic but perfect.

- Ahh, the training … I missed that,

- “Your myth to echo for a thousand years”

- Oh hey, Rhaskos has some lines!

- The guy that Crixus shoves looks like Hamilcar….who is already a gladiator?????

- “Not by you” ..ohhhhh burn. That is just ..ouch man!

- I actually feel really bad for Crixus, and Spartacus is being so rude, so unlike himself. This is the Spartacus I didn’t like much, the cocky entitled one.

- “FUCKING GAULS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! favourite thing Agron says (actually I have a few of those)

- Actually you’d think Crixus would be kinda nicer to Segovax seeing as he’s a Gaul as well.

- Varro no, uuuhhhhhh I didn’t like this heartbroken angry Varro.

- Agron or Duro speak and I’m all giddy and smiling… I love them too much.

- Oh that dude is talking about Gannicus! How’s that for subtle foreshadow!

- I feel so bad for the recruit that dies, he was so innocent. Aww, dude didn’t even get a name, he’s listed at Recruit #4

- Ashur is such a snake

- “He is a fucking slave”, damn right too. It really shows this whole slave master dynamic, Batiatus really favours Crixus but still he is just a slave, nothing more.

- Agron and Varro fight …. I want more!! Rhaskos and Duro fighting…never pair a German with a Gaul, they hate each other on principle!

- OMG that one armed Cook is still around!! Ha!

- “Show him whose champion Crixus”, I love the background cheers!

- I don’t like smug Spartacus, seems Oenomaus doesn’t like him either

- It’s like the only thing Crixus wants is for Spartacus to really become a Brother…how fucking sad and Spartacus just throws it in his face. Dude.

- I like that Ilithyia comes to Lucretia’s aid about the no kids thing, it made me like her a little…only a little though

- So many bitchy females

- Dude even Segovax looks uncomfortable with Ilithyia touching him… just can everyone stop touching the slaves please.

- Crixus has really lost all self-confidence, poor little angry baby

- Finally Varro sees sense, when your wife says she was raped, fucking believe her!

- Gaul against Gaul, love it!

- So fucking brutal, they took his penis then crucified him, what a horrible way to go.
