Is Spartacus Too Awesome or What?!!
 

I'm only half joking here. I just watched tonight's episode early on ON DEMAND (number 10 or 110 depending). It's like the 70's series DYNASTY and DALLAS of Rome, but I'm amazed at how a series that should be nothing but schlock is actually written so well and I hear there is already a second season in the making. They actually always come up with something you don't suspect (cause you're not looking for it, i think that's the secret - like in the SIXTH SENSE movie).

oh snap there's a new episode?

Yeah, well there's a whole series on STARZ, but tonights episode is already on ON DEMAND if you have cable (but you're better off with direct tv for the nfl ticket if not cause they rerun everything anyway)

Awesome series though, right, if you're watching..? I mean cheesy but awesome.

I just watched last weeks episode last night. That chick getting her face smashed in was AWESOME!

Can't wait for tonights episode.

The show started slow, but has really come on quick!

Good god this has got to be the greatest show on television. Tits, ass, and blood FTW!

I LOVE it!! I watched the first 7 episodes and I am looking forward to seeing the rest! Great show!! Right up there with The King of Queens! Not joking :)

They certainly don't save anything for upcoming seasons, even upcoming episodes. I actually don't know how they expect to get another season out of this, but each week I keep saying how can they get another week out of this. I'm fucking amazed, and it's the most entertaining sex and violence I've seen since Caligula

This is the way to write. I mean I'm not nominating it for an emmy for for guiltless pleasure there really isn't a show better, and if i had connections I would actually nominate it just for ambition alone, I mean if you can nominate avatar for an Oscar come on... All the rules have been changed and this series is more than worthy...

Not to mention Lucy Lawless (Xena) titties popping out all the time HOLY SHIT, I'm in love, finally! MY life has meaning! :thumbsup

OH HELL YES! I love this show.

The only thing that I am missing is Lucy's big ass. So far she has kept that monster under wraps. But I am waiting....I want to see that fat ass and preferably see her taking it doggy style with her butt cheeks jiggling. :jerkoff

Actually, the second season has been delayed because the lead (Spartacus/Andy Whitfield) was diagnosed earlier this month with cancer.

Great show :thumbsup Sucks about the cancer :Oh crap

It's certainly gotten better as the season has progressed. My main beef has been the fake blood / 300-esque fight scenes, since they don't have the budget to make it look as awesome.

Some of the dialogue comes off very cheesy, and I think the guy that plays Batiatus isn't great for the role.

That being said...each episode is interesting, has it's own twists and turns outside of the series as a whole, and the titties are simply amazing. I think it was the second episode, where they had something like 50 naked chicks...the titties are absolutely top notch.

Side note: I thought Archer was mediocre overall. I think they focused too much on being crude instead of being funny.

I like the show a lot. I can't wait to see what they are going to do each week. The next season is in question because the guy that plays Spartacus got Non-hodgkins lymphoma cancer. They say it very treatable and they caught it early so he has a very good outlook.

I think they will end this season with Spartacus and Crixius finally deciding they have been wronged enough and they will start their rebellion then next season (if he is healthy enough to do it) will all about the rebellion. This isn't a type of show that can go on forever because everyone knows how it ends, but it could go on for a couple of seasons and still rock.

It one of the 4 shows that I watch on tv. Every friday night I have to see Spartacus and Caprica, and every monday night I have to see Big Bang Theory and 2 1/2 Men. I just set my DVR and watch them whenever I have time.

I really dont watch anything else unless its something interesting like a Sniper show on the Military Channel or something good on the DIY Network.

Yeah, the last few episodes have been pretty crazy. I watch it every week. The new episode is also available on Netflix (I watched it earlier).

yeah i'm getting that feeling as well. Like they'll become bro's and break out of the place like spartacus wanted to do earlier in the season

Some of the cool things about ancient Rome are:

1. Romans were apparently from England. None of them appear to be Italian at all. I woulda thought Rome was a bunch of guys who look like Juicy D Links...but instead they are pretty much all tall British bodybuilders.

2. Steroids were available for everybody to use! Pretty freaking awesome! And much better than the steroids we have today. Looks like the Roman steroids didn't require you to even work out and target body parts. You just basically did cardio (sword fighting) and instead of getting smaller and losing weight, you bulk up and every muscle group looks like you took modern day steroids and then did targeted body parts during an intense gym workout. :pimp

3. Romans had plastic surgeons who did boob jobs AND injected collagen in lips. Made those British whores look great back in ancient Rome!

heh-heh

Apart from the clip-style blood bath nothing particularly interesting and too much of cursing.

It's awesome, I love it ... they need to send more people back to the pits though.

Season 2 spartacus and crixus join forces and lead a slave rebellion.

Sorry to ruin it for everyone. LOL

I was really pissed when HBO stopped filming the Rome series. That was much better than Spartacus

I never saw Rome, but the history books say that Crixus and Spartacus join forces to lead the slave rebellion so if you know that then you know it is just a matter of time until it happens in the show.

Yep, Rome series was incredible. It ran several seasons, started with Caeser in Gaul then ended with the defeat of Marc Antony. What gets me is that the drama in Rome really began after that but they ended the series.

The lead actor has cancer and they have stopped production for a while :-(

I love that show
