Finishing out the third season and calling it a wrap. I'll probably marathon it all in one weekend once it's all out on DVD.

I just finished watching it! And the last episode made me want MORE MORE MORE!!!

Although to be fair, I've read the book also so I know the ending. But this show is just so great.

The heat between her and the actor playing her brother, Cesare' nearly lights up my tv.... (spoiler alert for intermittent watchers)...

Whew...

I love period dramas, though. I think the Borgias would get more attention, if it were not "competing" with GOT.

That's one of the things I love about it.

And yes, Lucreztia and Cesare are pretty intense. Cersei and Jamie only aspire to that level.

Jeremy Irons took this role so well and just grew right into it. I will miss it sorely.
