>>Then again, I'm not sure how much Troy is even gonna show of their relationship.<<

I'm supposing, however much they mess up the rest of it, they have to show quite a bit because Patroclus is the only reason that Achilles came back. It's the heart of the story. But like you said, hope, think happy hopeful thoughts ;)

>>I can just see people slashing, I don't know... Achilles and Paris, because they're respectively played by pretty people.<<

There are no words for how wrong that is, because everyone knows Paris is an airy, fairy waste of time and Achilles wouldn't.
