The Name the Forest Forgot

  " She came from the silence beneath roots and bones, where forgotten gods dare not look—crowned in ash, and kissed only by shadows." She was summoned in the stillness between lightning strikes and the first scream of the trees, when the veil thins and the forest whispers its secrets. Mushrooms unfurl beneath her touch, drawing sustenance from old bones and memories best left behind.

My ramblings about Spartacus

Regardless of the fact that this post has seriously nothing to do with writing short stories (although one cannot say the same if the idea is to - somehow - look for inspiration), I've been watching season 2 of Spartacus and I've came to the conclusion they have, significantly, reduced the amount of blood used in that tv show.

In season 1 even the tiniest little flesh wound produced, no less, than at least  bucket of blood (hence the title Blood and Sand, I suppose), now they seem to lose less blood eventhough there seems to be a proner tendency towards decapitation.

The Queen of Hearts syndrome I believe, but still - in my perspective - an excellent tv show. Usually, when the actor  playing the protagonist changes, the tv shows are left in a sort of an hot spot. But in this case, I think they ended up nailing it. The new actor playing Spartacus is doing very well in character, and the plot itself is a very well balanced perspective accounting for each of the opposing factions.

All in all, thumbs up for the show.
