Actually, I've quite enjoyed Barbarians Week.

That recreation of the battle of Adrianople is pretty slick.

So have I, the Goths sacking Rome last Tuesday was great.

I thought "Barbarians II" was well done, and appreciated the episode on the Lombards [you don't hear much about them, usually]. The special they did Sunday night before the first episode [Barbarian Battle Tech]was excellent, although I disagree with their rating of the Celtic sword over the Gladius Hispaniensis [another Celtic sword].

I liked it.

Same here. My family and I have all been watching and enjoying it.

It (Barbarians II) amounts to camp for straight men—something good for chasing an 8 p.m. scotch or spicing a bedtime cup of cocoa.

Nice... I guess we should expect this from the Metro's at Slate.

I found myself unable to watch anything else this weekend. It's a shame that it's over.
