A bit on the slow and somber side. I expected we might see an episode that dipped down a bit on the excitement as they set up the finale.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

What a depressing episode.

Poor Pullo.

I didn't think I'd surpass the pathos I felt for Vorenus and his "wife troubles," but this did it.

I really felt badly for Pullo as well. I really wanted all the bad things to stop happening to him.

Hehe...

Pullo is such the typical D & D fighter...

High STR, High CON, Low INT, Low WIS !

He did mangle that slave up but good...

I cringed every time he smashed that guy's head. Not for the slave, but for Pullo digging his hole deeper every time the head hit the pillar.

Well, he's got a ways to go, yet...

Spoiler

IIRC, the previews from before the season started showed him fighting in a gladiatorial match, and one way to end up in the arena was as punishment for a crimes...

Verinus looks spiffy in his toga candida.

Isn't the stripe on the toga praetexta supposed to be tyrian purple? It looks very red on my screen. Or is tyrian purple just a reddish purple?

Underline mine. Been missing that in recent episodes. C'mon, ladies, let's get those tops off!
