Synopsis:



Episode 5 of 10


In case you didn't read last week's thread, this was renewed for a 3rd season.

I am finally caught up. This show is getting better and better (though some scenes are a bit unbelievable i.e. Lucrezia being left in charge). I really like Cesare out for vengeance. Nice.

Glad to see that rat bastard Sforza offed.

I could have done without the Micoletto scenes however.

...and once again, I see even The Killing is getting more thread action than The Borgias!

It was an awesome kill scene but I thought they were aiming for a little more historical accuracy than that.

Complete your thought, please.

Cesare didn't kill Sforza. In fact Sforza outlived Pope Alexander VI.

Yeah, they're really playing fast and loose with history.

This is basically a soap opera made with historical figures.

Spartacus sort of does this, too, but there's a lot less known about Spartacus and his times than the Renaissance period depicted here.

I never watched this with the presumption of historical accuracy. But I did presume they would keep the major historical events in order.

I don't know the history at all, so it works for me.

Is The Tudors the same way?
