The Borgias

[Temis the Vorta]

He seemed more like a troglodyte to me, personality-wise. He was certainly conscious of his rank and position, but that just makes it all the more vital that he not be perceived as, well, less than vital. His behavior doesn't jibe with the mentality of the time for someone of his gender and rank. What he did was catastrophic for him personally and he should have known it. A little temporary embarrassment would have been nothing by comparison.

He should have turned the tables on the Borgias instead by

Spoiler: just in case

insisting that he is potent, but only with his lawful wife, and as a good moral Christian man, he of course refuses to have anything to do with prostitutes and is shocked at the Pope for suggesting such a thing. The demonstration must take place with Lucretiza or not at all.

How can the Pope argue against that? Checkmate!

Yeah, the trial didn't ring true, but it was pretty funny seeing a bed and some prostitutes brought in to make the case.

Because she is a courtesan and the Swartza putz is a prude who is overly concerned with honor. As for the ranting. Do you mean the Florentine priest?

What episode are you at? I have loved every episode but the last 3 episodes are particularly good.

Well not till the second or third season but I hope so. Cesare is by far my favorite character and historically he is very interesting and important. More so than his Father or Brother.

 

[timothy]

have we seen his brother yet? all so would love to see eric flint 1632 series be made into a series.

By the second or third episode both of Cesare's brothers were introduced as well as his sister.

One of the brothers is the drunk womanizer who wears the gorgeous bronze armor. The other is the 13 year old boy that is running around their mothers estate.

from what it looks like the novels not based on the tv series but the real family. I don't know how much is real on the show and how much is fiction.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I don't know how much is real on the show and how much is fiction.

I was going to recommend Television Without Pity as a good place to find people who would know historical details, but incredibly they didn't start a forum for the show!

 

[timothy]

well we have this one plan to watch the rest of the show tomarrow four episodes left and then the history channels special.
