The Heat of Rebellion
11 April 2010
In this essential episode, all the actors, and the people making this modern and generous show, are delivering the best, and while watching everything happening like you would have loved it to happen, you only dream of this team work keeping this quality and getting even better and better because to my taste, i must admit i was afraid when i saw the first episode, copycat of "300" with poor drama performance, love story with poor acting and an ugly kind of digital backgrounds that makes you regret old mate painting process (still working pretty well in the 80's i remember those in Nightmare on elm street 4, one this movie from my Teenage years that made me learn some stuff about films make up and special fx) Anyway, Blood and Sand is not only better and better, it's COOL ! you know, i like it more and more, i get hooked up, because these characters are like a cake in the fire ! The dough gets harder as it gets hotter, and it takes form, and its like that, they are cooking rebellion with passion & the patch leading to rebellion is long but never boring, impressive and sexy for both gays and heteros ! You wonder if all this violence, sensuality, Gory fights, sex orgies and murders for power will stay ON for the channel execs ! I mean, come on, i sometimes feel like a roman watching this show, i wants blood they give me blood, i'd like to hate this guy for the hero to hate him too, and everything tries to please us, when sometimes you think, now they won't go there, they can't show this or inflict this man such treatment, and yes they do it ! Maybe they will go easy on the next epidode and no they don't ! Now with this episode they succeed is surprising us with some unexpected revelations, and the man are now tired of being chess pieces and the rebellion can start ! Can't wait for the the announcement of a second season !
