Attention All Wounded Sparrows

I was working on my netflix queue when it popped up that I could watch Spartacus on demand. Since I clearly have free time I thought why not, although I did not know too much about it. I started watching and totally got sucked into it. I have watched 6 of the 13 episodes so far and it is a total homo-fest. Lots of naked muscle men mixed with soap opera story lines and loin cloths, what is there not to love? Then I get an epiphany because they always come to me in the strangest of places. Literally of the cast of 100 there are only 3 female characters and the rest are men of beyond this world perfection. Of all the men I am stuck on Ashur. He is the gladiator that is wounded so cannot participate in combat. He wears a brace on his leg and has a limp. I am obsessed with him but admit he is a shady character, another story in and of itself. When he comes limping across the screen I am just transfixed. He is only a side character and I want to know more about him. I am always thinking how will this effect Ashur, what will Ashur do now, how will Ashur deal with this?

My epiphany is that I gravitate toward the sparrow with the broken wing. I don't want to fix anyone but everyone has their wounds and when they are visible then they just seem more real to me and with more character. I want to know the story. I want to help but not fix. I melt over a crooked eye. A speech impediment sends me over the moon. I really don't know what to make of all this - good - bad - indifferent??? Who knows? But in the meantime I have 7 more episodes of Spartacus to go and already looked online for spoilers to makes sure that my Archer does not get killed off.
