i noticed how after last weeks episode, everyone finally accepted the new dude as sparty. and it was because this very reason. we was all ridin wit andy when he started from the bottom, toiling in piss and shyt. we saw him go thru hell and back. we was wit him when he was gettin sonned in the ludas and arena. we were also there when he hit the come up. sadly, we were only able to finally see him free from the house of batiatus only for a few moments. even though its the same character, we never saw new sparty go through the struggle, he was just automatically free. now seeing him givin dat work in actual gladiator combat, its like he finally got his hands dirty. it's like andy took the show to the goaline, now the new dude, through no fault of his own, gets to punch it in. fukk, that should be andy leading the rebellion tonight in glorious final battle!!!! why lord??
