finally watched this yesterday...i agree that the new spartacus isn't as good as andy whitfield

part of that is due to the fact that i really really REALLY liked whitfield as spartacus...he convinced me of his character...the new guy does indeed seem less emotional somehow...kinda muted (but still good)

i, too, was very happy to see bianca naked

looking forward to a naked seppia (hanna mangan lawrence), but i get the feeling that it's going to be with her brother

This show sucks now. We get a whole episode dedicated to watching Spartacus and a couple of guys fights seemingly endless small groups of Romans in the woods? This show really lives and dies in the arena. Here's to hoping that Crixus and Doctore actually do end up making it to the arena and we get an epic episode out of that. Cause right now the show is missing a whole lot of something.

This latest episode was damn brutal, with the party torture/execution of the slave

2/19/2012 6:07:49 PM

wonder when Gannicus is going to show back up

2/19/2012 9:00:53 PM

Next episode according to the preview.

2/19/2012 9:59:29 PM

I hope this season ends with the assault from Mt. Vesuvius

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, guy.

Need a hug?

2/19/2012 11:29:24 PM

so far this season has been meh,

but tonight was FUCKING AWESOME

2/24/2012 11:04:35 PM

Special effects were pretty hilarious during the fire. But the gang is all together now, which is pretty awesome. Interested to see where they go from here - seems like it will be hard for them to get the average citizen behind them when they just killed probably several hundred.

2/25/2012 9:29:38 AM

I'll bet they see boobs and maybe kill someone next episode.

2/25/2012 10:16:10 AM

yeah i know the special effects were not top quality, but its the concept man

i mean the fucking perv got penetrated in the chest, the whiny bitch's asshole father got killed finally, Gannicus is back, and they FUCKING DESTROYED the arena in Capua, which was like the heart and life of the city

also ill put $10 down that the bitch's kid is actually fathered by Spartacus, remember Glaber still doesnt know about that shit

i mean the last 10 mins of that episode was the best non-sexual and non-sports related satisfaction i have had in 2012

2/25/2012 1:38:38 PM

It kind of bothered me how they didnt give the other gladiators a chance to join them. I figure if they see the arena falling they will change sides pretty easily.

only a minor gripe, that episode was awesome

2/25/2012 2:15:40 PM

^^No I definitely agree. It had a season finale type feel in terms of major things happening. I'm wondering what the final result of the baby will be, I have no idea how that story could go.

2/25/2012 2:28:15 PM

just finished the most recent episode

awesome

2/25/2012 4:58:03 PM

yeah, this episode was pretty damn great.

2/26/2012 12:10:19 PM

I'm so glad they killed the pedophile-looking dude

2/26/2012 5:51:33 PM

Are there any sites streaming this? Stupid-ass Netflix messing up their deal with Starz. I'm not planning to download/torrent episodes, but if there is somewhere streaming is available I'll look at that.

2/26/2012 6:22:15 PM

1channel.ch

2/26/2012 6:37:20 PM

I thought the last episode was one of if not the best one yet. It had Gannicus talking it out with Annameus, Asher defeating 3 Romans (actually found myself rooting for him for once), him "dominating" Lucretia and recruiting a horde of bad asses, Praetar Glaber killing another major enemy and finally, of course, an awesome fight between Spartacus and Gannicus that was unfortunately cut too short!

3/6/2012 8:47:42 PM

3/6/2012 8:50:05 PM

This show just isn't doing anything for me anymore.

3/11/2012 7:15:35 PM

^I understand that attitude for the first half of the season, but the last two episodes have been top notch stuff. On par with the first season even.

So, S1 was great. I don't know how to take the new make of it. Just kinda liked Andy whitfield. good shit, it was

3/14/2012 8:41:13 PM

Dude got his face chopped off and his brain slid out the front of his head. What's not to like?

3/15/2012 7:12:40 AM

^ don't forget hanna mangan lawrence titties!

3/15/2012 8:30:21 AM

still think the baby belongs to Spartacus

3/15/2012 10:16:20 AM

Well that confirms that (not that it wasn't obvious).

Good episode. Pretty predictable though.

3/17/2012 9:30:42 AM

Wow, I didn't see that coming

3/17/2012 9:33:21 AM

Good episode

3/24/2012 1:54:06 PM

yep, now they are gonna climb down the cliffs and kick glaber's ass

3/24/2012 2:02:48 PM

Ilithyia and Glaber banging while covered in Seppia's blood was awesome. I find myself rooting for each of them very often.

3/26/2012 11:09:41 PM

So I have a feeling things are going to look like all hope is lost, a bunch of folks will be dying (probably one major guy - gut feeling its Oenomaus unfortunately) - His death will get Gannicus all fired up, he will kill the egyptian and then out of nowhere thousands of other slaves will come roaring in to help. We will find out that other slaves have escaped and have been slowly journeying to Spartacus - this sets up next season with him as a legitimate threat to take out rome, and allows us to have some new baddies.

3/30/2012 7:20:35 AM

I just want Asher to die a horrible death, but I know that snake will probably be back next season.

3/30/2012 7:51:24 AM

Asher is the best character on the show.

3/30/2012 10:05:45 PM

You mean was.

Holy shit what a finale. Basically went as I expected, but still awesome.

3/31/2012 2:42:32 AM

i dont see why the baby had to die, but still a good finale

i wonder when Crassus will show up

3/31/2012 9:25:34 AM

I think Caesar and Crassus have been cast. And I think they killed the baby just to be able to clear the path for the show to focus solely on the rebellion.

3/31/2012 9:28:57 AM

I couldn't take the fight between Ashler and Crixus' girl seriously with camera keep going to Crixus and the dumb look he kept making.

3/31/2012 1:02:01 PM

Asher obviously watched a lot of action movies or he'd no that gloating over an opponent who still has a weapon is a dumb thing to do.

3/31/2012 1:23:43 PM

excellent finale...stoked for next season

lecretia and the baby were a surprise to me...gonna miss darken rahl glaber

also, was it ever explained why the romans (apparently) refuse to use archers? they'd have a better chance of winning if they'd use range weapons other than catapults

3/31/2012 1:59:39 PM

^^ yikes. brain meltdown.

^ In real life, the number of people involved in these battles was much, much larger.

[Edited on March 31, 2012 at 4:01 PM. Reason : .]

3/31/2012 3:42:48 PM

^ who are you responding to?

3/31/2012 3:51:56 PM

lol

3/31/2012 4:08:14 PM

they didnt figure out archers until maximus decided to unleash hell everywhere he went

so wait about 250 year i guess

Spartacus to end next season:

http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/06/04/spartacus-ending/?cnn=yes

Quote :

"After stabbing, slashing and pummeling countless enemies, Spartacus will slay his final Roman next year. Starz is set to announce that the next season of its historical drama Spartacus will mark the show’s final outing. The upside: Creator Steven S. DeKnight promises the remaining episodes will be spectacular (see the final season poster and teaser video here). “This season is bigger than anything we’ve attempted,” DeKnight says. “The scope and scale is just amazing. We’re dealing with massive battles between thousands of people. We hope to leave people feel satisfied.” DeKnight says he’s been 90 percent certain for months that the upcoming third season — subtitled “War of the Damned” — would be the last for Spartacus. Creatively, the writer-producer assures that the timing will result in a strong tale. The historical foundation for the rebel leader’s journey, he says, lends itself to wrapping up the show sooner rather than later. Get more EW: Subscribe to the magazine for only 33¢ an issue! “Looking at the story in the history books, it’s wave after wave of Roman senators going after Spartacus who are defeated until [Roman general Marcus Crassus] comes in,” DeKnight says. “There’s only so many battles you can put a spin on. So let’s pick out the most interesting moments in this struggle and lay out a clear narrative for Spartacus and his rebellion. I wanted to lay out a strong forward narrative with a strong antagonist.” Spartacus may wrap sooner than many fans might like, yet the historical drama actually survived longer than most expected. The show has had a wild and difficult run since it launched on Starz two years ago. The first season was a phenomenon. Its violent comic-book imagery may have been inspired by the hit film 300, but Spartacus‘ operatic computer-assisted visual style and profanely quotable Shakespean-esque dialogue quickly established the show as singularly unique. Ratings started modest, then climbed with nearly every episode, eventually hitting about 6 million viewers when including all encore airings and viewing platforms. Tragedy struck after the first season when the show’s breakout star Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Pre-production on season two was halted. A short-order prequel sans Whitfield, Gods of the Arena, kept the show functioning while producers and the network hoped for the actor’s recovery. Eventually, the role of Spartacus was turned over to newcomer Liam McIntyre, who led the show’s recent second season. “This show has always been a challenge,” DeKnight says. “We’ve faced some unique challenges and tragedies. I’m particularly thankful to Starz. Any other network, if the show’s lead actor had fallen ill and eventually passed away, they would have canceled the show. Starz felt like we owed it to the audience and to Andy to finish the tale.” In the most recent season, Spartacus led his rebel band of slaves to victory against the Romans at Mt. Vesuvius and defeated his longtime nemesis Gaius Claudius Glaber. As first reported on EW.com, the new season adds Todd Lasance as an ambitious young Julius Caesar and Simon Merrells as Crassus. DeKnight says Crassus will introduce a truly formidable enemy to help drive next year’s drama. “Crassus is kind of like the Roman boogieman we’ve been talking about for the last three seasons,” he says. “We meet him in episode one and you totally get that this is a guy who — maybe he can’t equal Spartacus in a one-on-one fight, but he’s just as shrewd and smart and dangerous as Spartacus.” Spartacus will leave behind a legacy of having stretched the boundaries of series television, between expanding the use of green-screen technology (the show has never shot one frame outdoors) and proving hard-R sex and violence can draw an audience when mixed with compelling storytelling. There was, and remains, nothing quite like the show on TV. “I would much rather end a series with the audience wanting more than limping to the finish line, with only the die-hard fans sticking around for the wrap up,” DeKnight says. “We want to make the 10 best episodes we can. I can’t wait for everybody to see it.” UPDATE: DeKnight says he has a new show in development at Starz that could be the successor to Spartacus. We’re hearing the mysterious project’s working title is Incursion. The series is described in industry circles as a “Halo-like video game meets HBO’s Band of Brothers.” The writer-producer says the show isn’t expected to be another fully immersed green-screen production like Spartacus. Starz says the project is still in very early stages, but obviously we’re looking forward to whatever DeKnight makes next."

i still need to catch the latest season

9/24/2012 11:05:54 AM

I've finally started watching season 3 (from InDemand) and just now saw the new actress playing Naevia. WTF, this actress isn't close to as hot, and I don't even think they have the same ethnic resemblance.

Grr, I hate it when they make cast changes like that

9/24/2012 12:29:16 PM

yeah, the new chick is much hotter
