It is blatantly racist to suggest such a thing and I am reporting you to
the Politically Correct Police. In addition, what you suggest would be a
clear violation of the MBBG rule of Hollywood television protocol. Every
new show or series is required to have at least one MBBG (mandatory bald
black guy) for both marketing appeal and political correctness.

I trust you have learned from this reprimand and that your future posts
will fully comply with politically correct guidelines.

No kidding. How many gladiators would still have a full set of
pearly-white choppers after getting hit in the face with hammers and
shields every day?

She's also been the hottest woman on the show so far.

Even Solonius wasn't a villain until Bateatus treated him like shit once
too often. Until then he was pretty much a loyal friend.

'Gods of the Arena' finally worked its way to the top of my Netflix
queue. It's nice being back in the ludus with good Bateatus and Lucretia
once again. Now I must set mind to purpose and finish watching the final
episodes so that I may speak with knowledgable tongue should challenge
be presented.

Next week I have a 5-day weekend. When work is over and the gods have
removed cock from ass, I will let gaze linger on disc two of 'Gods of
the Arena'.

I agree, but that is standard allowances for TV. Does one want to see Spartacus
and Crixus gumming their lines? I sure don't want to see a toothless Naevia or
even Lucretia. However, the Romans *did* have tooth paste and rudimentary
toothbrushes, at least the class of Romans Lucretia belonged to, so they did
have some oral care.

She is hot too but not my general type. But hell no I won't turn her down. :-)

Totally agree! Batiatus simply didn't appreciate what a friend Solonius was,
thinking him a submissive sucker who didn't want to better himself.

I see you appreciate the poetry of the script as well. It's great!
