Hispania: Difference between revisions

* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: in the second-to-last episode, the rebels' refuge is found by the Romans.

* [[Annoying Arrows]]: Paulo manages to survive an arrow that goes through him but becomes stuck, and decides to break off the shaft twice. This becomes quite painful for him.

* [[Badass Spaniard]]: Viriato. It might actually be Badass Portuguese, considering that Lusitania consists of modern Portugal and western Spain, but he nonetheless qualifies with his role.

* [[Battle Couple]]: Paulo and Nerea.

* [[Dead Person Conversation]]: {{spoiler|after Nerea dies in the arms of Paulo, her ghost guides him out of the Roman camp.}}

* [[Double Agent]]: Héctor's lies and deals with other people backfire in several ways, and he ends up having to join the Roman army as a mercenary, which later Viriato thinks it'll be useful to get information from the Roman camp.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: pretty much all the boys, those short tunics don't leave much to the imagination.

* [[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.

* [[Mooks]]: the Roman soldiers.

* [[Pieta Plagiarism]]: {{spoiler|when Nerea dies, Paulo holds her as she dies.}}

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Sandro is prone to have this. The biggest one: when he learns that Teodoro told the Romans about Barbara (his wife and Viriato's sister).

* [[Rule of Cool]]: the writers have acknowledged that the Roman uniform wasn't standard, because the soldiers had to pay for their uniforms, but they have all Romans wear the same armour for this reason.

** Viriato and Helena. The only reason she was about to marry Alejo was because her father was ruined.

** Averted with Galba and Claudia. Galba sleeps whenever he wants with Sabina and is attempting to have sex with Nerea, while Claudia seems interested in Viriato and, in the middle of the series, manages to seduce Marco.

* [[Tonight Someone Dies]]: The second season's last episode announced that a character would die. {{spoiler|Nerea is killed by Marco.}}

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: When the rebels manage to steal several sacks of wheat, Viriato asks them how they got them. The circumstances (the Romans were going away from the camp, there were very few soldiers) makes him realise that the wheat is poisoned. [[Tear Jerker|It comes too late for a family they had given some of the wheat to, though]].
