The House of Batiatus

I can't believe that the new (well prequel to the last season, which was the first) Spartacus episodes have been on for four weeks and I didn't know!

Time to DVR some repeats and catch up with the bacchanalian excesses of the House of Batiatus! (... really, any excuse to watch Xena).
