... regarding Spartacus: War of the Damned. I decided to watch the Agron/Nasir scenes only. I just can't handle all the killing. I mean, I could take it during the first 2 seasons plus the prequel because I knew that the main characters were not about to die. But now that the show is headed towards its finale, people I care about are going to start dying. And I hate that. Also, the revolt is in its last stretch and the liberators are turning into monsters, people are realizing that the freed slaves aren't at all better than the Romans and it's all about the killing, it's one big massacre, it's not about freedom anymore - and no, that's not a spoiler, that's history. And I'm just not sturdy enough to watch it.

I know that Agron and Nasir will die too but at least they are still beautiful. Nasir is still Agron's moral center. They're actually the most normal, loving relationship in the show - and that's fantastic, not something you usually see on TV or anywhere else, for a gay couple to be the loving center of a show. And yes, their death will break my heart into itty bitty pieces - I think Nasir will be killed and Agron will simply lose it! - but till then... their sheer love for each other makes me feel all mushy.

So, yeah. Agron and Nasir only for me. I simply can't handle the rest.
