Gods of the Arena

My blu rays for the first two seasons of Spartacus have finally arrived, so I've spent Easter getting myself thoroughly reacquainted with Gods of the Arena. I didn't remember the second season being so entertaining! ( cut for spoilers )

I've also watched the special features and listened to the commentaries (well, 3 out of 6). A part that had me cackle like a crazy person was in a featurette about a day on set with Lucy Lawless. Near the end she was walking through the trailer park and ran into Dustin Clare:



Lucy: Morning darling!



:a good half a minute of that later:
interviewer: So you're close to the cast members?
Lucy: Oh that? Oh that's nothing.



Hee! The perks of the job!
Also, too bad they were wearing a coat and a bathrobe over their costumes, because that'd be some awesome footage :-)

Speaking of the perks of the job, here's Dustin comment on the scene when Varis (played by Peter Feeney) is :ahem: appreciating Gannicus: "Poor Peter, it was like his first day or something, wasn't it? And he'd just been feeling me up for about three hours."

Yeah, "poor" is not the adjective I'd have used. Maybe it means something else in Australian? ;-)
