...well actually I will have to because this is the second to last episode and its awesome crackness must soon be bade farewell too. Goodbye Roar and your plots that make no sense! Goodbye 'Irish' accents that wander from North to South and then off to Amerikay within the space of a sentence! Goodbye multi-ethnic 4th century Ireland of the lush palm-trees! Goodbye sweaty men in blue paint and tight pants!
But I feel sad that they rather wasted their villian in evil Longinus, who went from being a sort of demon who could suck life from people in his crinkly true form to a moper who hung around endlessly moaning on about how he had to live forever and everyone else was going to die, die, die. It became increasingly unclear why anyone would be afraid of him unless they were just scared that he would trap them in a confined space and emote all over them. Though I am rather a fan of his creepy, creepy relationship with Queen Diana. They could challenge Caligula and his sisters in the dysfunctional relationship stakes, except without the incest bit, of course.
And in other entertainment news, I am thrilled by the incipient car wreck which will surely be James Franco's first novel. This man wrote The Ape, a film whose imdb description reads: "A young writer, nearing a mental breakdown caused by his family and boss, moves into an apartment occupied by a walking, talking, foul-mouthed ape in a Hawaiian shirt and Converse High Tops." How can his novel not be sure to entertain?
