I...I just...

Showtime is making a show about The Borgias!

I <3 Lucrezia. I <3 Lucrezia SO MUCH. They better make her as wicked and brilliant and deadly as possible! Oh, and also as used. Poor thing. AHHHH! And Cesare. I have such a historical crush on Cesare. 

First The Tudors and now this. I love Showtime, just a little lot.

AND. Jeremy Irons!

Trevor Morris is doing the soundtrack, too, I think. <3 <3 <3

It's Showtime's new series The Borgias. It's coming out next month.

The Borgias...well, I could get really long and complicated and STILL not touch on anything, so here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Borgia

Basically, Rodrigo Borgia ascended to Pope. He had children. They were wicked, decadent, licentious AND YET highly important to history. There was a lot of sex, murder, other crimes, power struggles, and whatnot. Very Machiavellian.

They are one of my favorite historical families. :)
