I am very interested. New show that starts in Jan on Starz |
Looks awesome - hopefully they will tell us up front that it will last two seasons before they cancel it because it costs too much money (see "Rome" - HBO)
|
Wow, bumping my own reply to remind everyone (and my future self) that it starts on Jan. 22 - set your DVR now!
|
A bit 300 much?
|
Three words...
Lucy. Lawless. Naked. (Seriously) |
I saw the first couple of episodes a little while ago. The first episode is absolutely brutal. And not in a good way. It was like the writers took a porno and 300, snorted about 20 8-balls and mashed it all together. TOTAL cheeseball. The second ep. was much better in my opinion at least from a continuous show standpoint. Hopefully they keep it somewhat realistic.
|
Looks pretty awful. But entertaining. I'm a total sucker for cheesy low budget crap like this though. As long as it doesn't bill itself as something it's not.
|
I'm really starting to dig this show now. Much improved over the pilot. It looks like the writers decided to slow down and develop the characters and the story. The violence is delightfully brutal but not over done in a CGI cartoonish way.
It ain't ROME, and it ain't perfect, but it's officially part of the rotation at the moment. |
Man, Rome was so so so good. Sometimes I hate HBO for loving their shows so much only to see them die prematurely (Deadwood, anybody?). I don't get Starz, though, so I'll probably have to watch at parent's house or DL it if you say it's [even somewhat] close to Rome.

I dig it. It's not the best series ever, but it's entertaining, and that's ultimately all I ask for out of a TV show.

****ing awesome episode last night. This show is really picking up steam. Brutal cliffhanger!!!!
|
VOD FTW!
Just caught up on the series and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Frankly, I am glad they have cut down on the sex scenes and focused more on the story itself. I can watch titties bouncing elsewhere... I want a story out of this. :D |
Whatever. Titties + story = win

Doctore: All I gotta say is that dude is friggin' YOKED. I wish I had that much constant muscle definition. |

This show is hilariously trashy but in a good way. Entertaining stuff.

I think that Crixus dude is on steroids for sure (or at least HGH), but I'm not so sure about Doctore. His muscle definition is not what you'd expect out of a roider.

I can't believe the way this show has sucked me in. This has become a weekly favorite.

I see SOME 'roids, but I see a lot of natural muscle, too.
|
They could release that last episode as a stand alone porno.
|
2nd season is suspended from production right now.
Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) was just diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Hoping that they caught it early enough that he can remain Spartacus. |
Damn! That sucks.

I don't mind the gratuitous violence, even when they feel like they've got to slow it down. It's annoying but bearable. But the acting in episode 1 is terrible. Especially that early fight scene. I hate it when bad actors feel like they need to talk in forced gruff voices. It ruins the suspension of disbelief for me, and I feel like I'm watching a bunch of dudes on a set.
Does the plot suck you in here? Is the story worth sticking with? |
It gets way better. The first episode is pretty trash.
|
I'm finally caught up, I think (my VOD only went up to Episode 9). It doesn't even come close in quality of story and acting of the good HBO shows, but it's still pretty entertaining. It hasn't drawn me in nearly as much as HBO's Rome. If there wasn't as much titty and violence, I probably wouldn't have gotten to Episode 9, lol.
|
the episode where they fight those freaks underground was by far the best. the theocolies fight was pretty badass too.
i just like it because my wife will watch it with me AND theres tits and ass in almost every scene |

I hope he recovers well and can get back to the set. That would be really bad if they had to cast a new spartacus.
|
Another great episode tonight. Did not see that happening at all. This show has really hooked me.

I've been catching up quickly. Just finished episode 7.
This series is WAY over the top, but I'll be damned if it isn't highly entertaining. I'm hooked. |

HOLY ****.
I can't believe they did that, but that takes some balls by the writers. Pulled off in a great way, too. Ilithia is a slutwhorebitch of the highest magnitude, but holy shitballs. |

|
I can't believe that kid pulled it off. And I mean, THE ACTOR. I wouldn't have been able to do that bath scene. I would have been sporting MAJOR wood.

I mean, she's a total bitch, but she's also hot as ****.

Episode made me sad. I guess the salve girl is the next one he starts to care about a lot only to see her die. I'm also wondering what kind of shit would have to go down for him to start and lead a rebellion. He hasn't exactly gotten anyone's loyalty quite yet, either.
Spoiler!

I think he finds out that Batiatus actually killed his wife and that drives him to rebel. Crixus and his love get busted and therefore he teams up with spartacus to lead the rebelion.
I will prolly end up being completely wrong. |

Yeah, I told my son in that Gladiator fight that Crixus wasn't going to die unless they are going to re-write history.
I'm not sure history records why Spartucus and Crixus rebeled(other than the fact they are slaves) but having their women killed by the Romans in an underhanded way would be a good excuse to go postal. |

In fact wouldn't it be against the law if they were... ( assuming it was shot in US), something along the lines of corrupting a minor. |

Pretty much. |

For reason, I think Varro would make a good Captain America if they have not cast him yet..

I thought Ilithyia wanted him.. And I have just come to the fact to go to imdb.com and copy/paste the names.. |
