The Borgias 108 Review- Sweet Him Into Submission

Giulia- "Kings are of short supply."

King Charles- "I am of novelty value then."

Although not as exciting as last week's "Death, On a Pale Horse," "The Art of War" continued the resurgence of The Borgias and kept things very intriguing leading into next week's finale.

I originally thought that there was going to be 12 episodes of this first season, but upon further review it looks like next week's 10th hour will be the last, and it has kind of come up on us quickly.

Sneaking up on the Romans is quite the opposite of what King Charles of France did. This guy made some noise as he destroyed most of Italy on his way to Rome. Luckily for the Borgias and Pope Alexander himself, Giulia and Lucrezia happened to bump into him in the woods, which ended up being the best strategy for battle.

The "art of war." if you will, was most effectively demonstrated by the 14-year old Lucrezia in her woo-ing of King Charles. Thanks in part to the advice of Giulia, Lucrezia used her wit and her beauty to basically make the ugly monarch fall in love with her.
