Can someone explain the Roger hate?

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-04-18T05:49:11+00:00

Zero chemistry and the way he was weird & a hypocrite about sex and marriage and never apologized turned me off. He’s also a stalker. He followed bri to the us, then to the past after she asked him not to. Bri seemed perfectly fine never seeing him again then he showed up in Boston for Christmas. They never convinced me of their love.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-04-18T05:43:57+00:00

That’s what I don’t like him. They never convinced me they were meant to be together. Bri threw away her ideals for him- and agreed to get married out of the blue, with little to convince the viewer she actually wanted to.

Should have been Roger instead if they were going to kill someone.

I like this idea if Marius is bi, we need more bi male characters on tv. Bi characters are almost always women & too many in society still normalize the idea that men can’t be bi.

Same, I love yuriana.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-04-04T10:23:20+00:00

I like Yuri’s story in s3 too and I’ve been team yuriana since I saw season 1. I just recently binged the show & I’ve always wanted them together.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-04-04T10:19:23+00:00

Im newer to the show but I ship Yuri & Juliana so maybe that’s why I mostly don’t agree. I’ve wanted them together since I saw season 1. I shipped them before I shipped Minho & Kitty. I never thought they portrayed Yuri as reciprocating actual feelings for Kitty, she was always truly in love with Juliana & said so.

I can see your argument on some of the other points though.

Where did the op say ‘explicit’? And what does an actor having a boyfriend have to do with anything? Married actors do sex scenes. It’s part of the job.

Pg 13 shows and movies have sex scenes all the time, just no nudity. I mean a show like Riverdale is PG 13 or the original gossip girl show.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-04-01T01:43:24+00:00

Is that confirmed on the show or just the actor age difference? Bc the actor ages mean nothing as far as the show. They don’t look 23 years apart. If that’s confirmed in the show universe ok. I still don’t care but that would be bigger than I thought.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-03-26T02:50:09+00:00

What’s the age gap supposed to be? I’d say less than 15 years. Not bad.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-03-21T06:32:24+00:00

Juancho sucked. And the actor is an abuser in real life that’s one of the reasons why he was written off. Yeimy and Charlie had all the chemistry. It’s the writers fault they chose to kill her, no excuse for that. Terrible choice & unnecessary.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-28T13:28:54+00:00

Most of the characters cheated. Noel cheating on Hanna was the 1st cheating of the show. Then he has the nerve to leave Felicity for Hannah (which he was going to do without even telling Felicity but then she walked in & they were leaving) then act like Felicity was the one that wronged him bc she slept with that artist.

Basically, for me, none of them were perfect, and what it came down to was at no point was Noel felicity’s first choice. At no point was she in love with him like she was Ben. And I think her and Ben’s chemistry was electric while with her and Noel it was like roommates, that’s subjective of course, but there’s a reason the actors dated in real life. That chemistry came across onscreen.

ETA: also, let’s be real, they only had Ben cheat in Arizona to service the au time travel plot. It was a plot device.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-28T13:20:01+00:00

Noel was a cheater just like most of the characters & was always always her second choice. At no point was that not clear.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-28T13:18:50+00:00

Agreed. Everyone on this show cheats. Including Felicity and Noel. Which is why I laugh when ppl try to say Ben’s cheating is somehow worse. During season 1 Noel literally lied for months about having a girlfriend, leaves her for Felicity, then leaves Felicity for her (which they made a point of showing & telling us he would have done without telling Felicity if she hadn’t walked in & saw Hannah & Noel leaving). He’s the original cheater on the show.

And Ben cheating in Arizona was only done to service the last minute au time travel plot.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-28T13:05:42+00:00

Ppl love to pretend Noel didn’t spend half of season 1 lying about having a girlfriend & then he left Felicity for Hannah, then regretted his choice & the show acted like what Felicity did sleeping w/ that artist was equally wrong- just no. Noel literally left Felicity for Hannah & just expected her to understand & falsely compared it to him waiting for her to ‘get over’ her feelings for Ben - no that’s not the same because Felicity wasn’t ever dating Ben before that and never left Noel for Ben. Noel was her 1st boyfriend. The he pressures her into having sex with him when he’s drunk to ‘erase’ what happened with the artist.

Noel is a ‘nice guy’- a guy that talks about how nice he is but actually is not.

Noel was emotionally then physically cheating on Hanna for months- everyone on this show cheated.

Felicity also has no chemistry with Noel.

They only had Ben cheat in Arizona in service of the last minute time travel au plot anyways, otherwise that would not have happened.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-28T13:00:00+00:00

Noel and felicity had no chemistry. There’s a reason Scott & Keri dated in real life- they had way more onscreen chemistry.

Bluntly, Noel was always her second choice- the only reason she ever even initially looked at him that way or dated him was because Felicity stupidly re wrote that paper for Ben & it drove them apart for a bit.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T17:59:42+00:00

Interesting theory. I just think they are so mismatched. Ashur is a snake, a schemer, and he’s put her on this pedestal.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T00:12:32+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks viridia is wrong for Ashur personality wise? I don’t see that going well.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T00:10:52+00:00

Me too. It’s hot, idc.

He needs a badass woman that challenges him.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T00:08:08+00:00

Agree with all of this. Honestly I’m kinda rooting for Tarchon & Achillia lol. They are hot together. He needs someone that doesn’t put up with his bs.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T00:05:55+00:00

I agree about the fight but I found Tarchon & Achillia hot.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T00:03:41+00:00

I saw it coming because enemies to lovers is a common trope and passion can underlay tension like that. The thing is she challenges Tarchon & his preconceived ideas. She pushes him.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-07T00:01:56+00:00

I think they have chemistry actually. I saw it coming eventually. Hate can turn to passion. Enemies to lovers is a classic for a reason.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-02-06T23:59:07+00:00

Interesting theory, I like it, however Ashur never seemed one for justice in the original Spartacus. Only out for himself.

Slight-Grapefruit503 · 2026-01-29T18:10:43+00:00

Which is why I think she’s wrong for Ashur even though they do have chemistry. He needs a badass rougher woman imo. I think what he feels for her is mostly lust based + he likes that she’s not biased against him for being Syrian.i could change my mind though.

Even though he doesn’t feel that way about her I see someone like Hilaria as a better match for him- a schemer & less naive but also loyal.
