The Borgias Season 3 in Review Meme (Cesare/Lucrezia Edition)

[sherrilina]

Now that all of the episodes have officially aired, let's review the season as a whole! There are a mix of general questions and ones related to Cesare/Lucrezia--feel free to answer as many or as few as you wish. But please keep your answers only within season 3 for this meme--I will be posting another one for the whole series (s1-3) later, since

So hard to answer these, with so many awesome moments, lines, and gifs this season! <33 Also oops, I might have made this too long for the comment limit! :/

General Series Questions

Favorite Episode: Hard to say (so many fantastic ones this season!) but I think I have to go with "Siblings". (Followed by "The Face of Death," "Tears of Blood," and "The Gunpowder Plot"!)
Favorite Character(s): In addition to the usual Cesare and Lucrezia I really have to add Caterina Sforza as a major fave--she was just so fantastic and badass this season, and I enjoyed every minute of her screentime and thought she was the best Big Bad yet. Cardinal Sassypants, Micheletto, and Machiavelli are all near and dear to my heart as well...and Vanozza, and Giulia. I love nearly everyone in this bar! ;)
Favorite Non-C/L Scene: One of Caterina Sforza's scenes, like the one where she "kneels" or when she is plotting out the defenses of Forli like a true military commander (and there is that tension when you know it's too late! :/), or perhaps Cardinal Sforza'

Cesare&Lucrezia Questions:

Favorite C/L Scene: Gah so much to choose from this season, but I think probably their first kiss in "Siblings"--it was just SO perfectly done, from the adorable playing-with-her-earrings bit at the beginning to the way it happened and their reactions...the lover's reunion in 3x09 might be a close second, because feeeeeels and running! <333
Favorite C/L Quote: "There is no other like you..." (kind of sums it up right there--so many great quotes to choose from though, it's hard!)
Best episode for C/L (ie. one with the most/best moments): Oh "Siblings" easily--I don't think there has ever been an episode that was so C/L-centric!
Scene you would have liked to see between them this season (missing moments, etc): I wanted to see the sex next to Alfonso's corpse that they TOTALLY HAD after the credits rolled! ;)
Best Lucrezia outfit/hairdo combo: She looked especially pretty iirc during the chess scene in Naples in that dress and hair, and I also really noticed her hair in the armor scene in 3x02--love all the

I looooooooooooove that first gif, still my fave. XD

[sherrilina]

Ikr?! :D I keep watching it...it's amazing how closely in tandem he turns with the door opening! ;) Missed your window of opportunity, Cardinal Sassypants!

[eirelysha]

That last gif!! Guh! You can see she wants it just as much as he does. They straight up had sex next to Alfonso's corpse! And you just know it was hot as hell!! I only wish we'd gotten to see it! (also I wish I was Holly in this scene!...and well every single scene she shares with Francois tbh (;)

[redfeu]

I didn't answer the last question because my answer is really "probably yes once we see more and actually see their dynamic play out"... which is now never going to happen. :(

[sherrilina]

;_; It does kind of leave you hanging...*sigh*

[rosaxx50]

Where in the world is Gioffre?

HAHAHAHA.

[sherrilina]

You know I was okay with them never mentioning him last season, but when they started making multiple references to Cesare being Rodrigo's only remaining son in season 3 I must admit I became a bit puzzled...

[tcoll813]

The crack in time thing totally made me think this was the Doctor Who community instead! Lol!!

[sherrilina]

Lol, sorry, couldn't resist that and the GoT reference...especially when it makes a lot of sense and would explain much! ;)

[tcoll813]

AHHHH love the icon! Nine x Rose! And yes, it would, I just noticed the GoT reference. XD I've been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately, so it stuck. Or it could be a Weeping Angel attacked him and his wife?
