Sparty ramblings....
Apr. 6th, 2013 12:04 amI've just watched the penultimate finale episode of Spartacus: War Of The Damned and I'm having major MAJOR feels about it. It's hard to process the emotion I'm having because in one week, it will all be over. Tonights episode gutted me hard. Seeing Agron crucified and hung on a cross marked the first session of hardcore balling I did, then seeing Agron and Nasir reunited the second. Just when I thought I had no more tears left in my ducts...SDK had to go and honor all the fallen gladiators and rebels in Crixus's funeral scene. Hearing the dead of all the seasons being named...well that fucking ended me. I legit balled for like 5 minutes straight. That ugly nasty snotty crying too.
You would think after saying something like that--that it might be hard to recommend this television show to people. But I find, more than ever now, that I want to make everyone I know, have known, will ever know in the future, watch this AMAZING-SUPERB-RIDICULOUSLY FANTASTIC show. When this show came on 4 years ago, I tuned in for the blood and half naked dudes. I tuned in because the show was doing something I had never seen any other show do before. I tuned in because the show was sensational and taboo. BUT it ended up being this addictively-amazing show. So filty well written, and not afraid to show things that no other show would ever dare put on the screen. I fell in LOVE with these characters and I want everyone to know them.
As we know the history, of coarse Spartacus dies. We've all known it is coming. I know that the chances of anyone surviving the finale is slim to none. But I can't wait to see it. I can hope that the canon gay couple will out live everyone and go off to their goat farm and just have nasty butt sex forever. I can hope that Gannicus and Sybil go off and have tons of stupidly handsome babies. I can hope that somehow Sparty slips away, and Saxa and Lugo make it out. I can hope that Naevia can find a way to move on without her gaul and have babies and be happy again.....But I know that they wont. I know that everyone will die. I've known from the first episode. I guess I'm ready. Ready as I will ever be for the pain and misery and tears. Because this is the best show I've ever seen in my 31 years and would subject myself to in over and over and over to feel the emotions it gives me.
I have never had a show make me feel the things this show has made me feel. And I think anything,...any book, story, tv show, film....anything that can insite that kind of raw feeling needs to be seen and passed on to others. Forever.
This show is fucking amazing. And if you haven't given it a chance, you are robbing yourself of one of the greatest experiences you will ever feast your eyes and your heart on.
So I'm getting my bottle of gin and my hanky ready....ready to have my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on. AND THAT'S OKAY. IT'S A-OKAY. LET'S DO THIS THING. I love you Stephen S. DeKnight. You are a god among showrunners and you forever have my allegiance.
