User Reviews

Ignorance is bliss

Just because the Aztecs and Incas made human sacrifices for their gods, it doesn't mean every ancient religion did it. To portray , even if it is just a fictitious show, the gods of a mostly vegetarian people as human meat loving beasts was plain rude. Just because we don't go ultra violent and blow up stuff in response to offensive contents like these, doesn't mean we are okay with it. Other than the typical western ignorance and condescension to anything they don't understand, the episode was okay. Jensen (the primary reason to watch this show)was at his witty best as usual and the actor playing Gabriel seems to stand out from the rest of the amateurs. For a show produced by McG they ve got some sucky visual effects, and because of that the combat scenes don't quite come off.
