Hispania: Difference between revisions

* [[False Flag Operation]]: one of the ideas Galba has to stop support to the rebels is to disguise some Romans as Hispanians and have them assault traders, so that normal people stopped supporting them and joined Rome's side. It fails, because Viriato happened to be near the first attack when it happened, and was able to save his friend Darío by bringing the Roman soldier who had led the attacks.

* [[Fetish Fuel]]: Ana de Armas is a slave? Where does one sign to get that?

** [[The Hero]]: Viriato, without discussion.

** [[The Lancer]]: Darío, Paulo and Sandro become this.

** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Héctor.

* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: in [[Real Life]], Viriato was killed by three traitors that had been sent as ambassadors from the Hispanic rebels. This was three years after the rebellion started. Do your math.

* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: averted with Nerea, who after being marked as Claudia's slave thinks of nothing but getting free. Played straight with Sabina, who regards Claudia quite well and has completely forgotten her past as a Hispanian; and with Gaia, who is in love with Galba's son, Fabio. Also with Altea, who has completely forgotten that Viriato is her father and thinks Gaia is her mother.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Viriato suffers this when his sister Bárbara commits suicide. It takes a dream with his first wife, his sister and his daughter to go back.

** Paulo suffers one when {{spoiler|Nerea dies.}}

** Hospital Central's psychiatrist makes a Face Heel Turn from a nice guy to a Complete Monster.

** [[El Internado|Carolina]] becomes engaged to [[El Bola]] but then is captured and taken as a slave by Dani from LEX (unrelated to [[Lexx]]). She marries his fiancé after he rescues her.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: in the first episode of the first season, the Romans deceive the Hispanians (through [[The Mole|Teodoro]]) into believing there will be peace if they give up their weapons. Instead, the Roman soldiers surround the unarmed Hispanians and kill them. In the last episode of the first season, the Hispanians manage to gather a great army to face the Romans in the same place the betrayal took place, and use Teodoro to make them believe that it is only a 2,000 men army, but instead they had many more soldiers, and they manage to attack the Romans on the back in a scene reminiscent of the one above.

** When Teodoro and Alejo are expelled from Caura for collaborating with the Romans, they take refuge in the same cave where Viriato and the rebels were hiding before being caught.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Nerea dies on Paulo's arms, after being stabbed by Marco. Much like [[El Internado|her character in another series]].}}

* [[La Résistance]]: the whole plot is built around the resistance group Viriato forms and the attempts by the Romans to kill him.
