I'm shocked some of you guys are jumping to conclusions so swiftly about this season. Remember how horrible the first 2 episodes of the original Blood and Sand were? It got a shit ton better. If we're at ep 5 and you still hate it then I understand, but this show has always been inconsistent/rocky starts. the first episodes of blood and sand, and god of the arena, were pretty fucking awesome theres just something missing from this spartacus a certain lack of killer instinct the character seems far too passive .. too positive?
Well there's no freaking arena for one in a show about gladiators.

Go read up on Spartacus (the actual historical character) x_x
+ Show Spoiler +I feel I have to be quite literal about this to be understood: This is not a show "about gladiators." You can read the Wikipedia page of Spartacus and you'll see the general direction that the show is most likely going to take.

The new spartacus is doing a fine job.
Need to accept that he is not going to be the exact same as andy. And andy was not instantly liked, nor was the show instantly liked. Wait a bit till halfway or so through the season to see where it goes and how it plays out. One of the main reasons that we liked andy is not from the first few episodes (show sucked tbh then) but as the character developed we saw more emotion and heart from the character that made everyone start to adore all the different characters.

its gonna take some time to get used to i guess, still has potential to be an epic series imo

Haven't got around to watching this yet, and I just finished Season 1 -- please tell me Asher makes a glorious return.
Favorite character of the series, by far. He just seems the most real to me.

Oh wow I didn't know there was a new season. I watched the two previous one so I guess I got some catching up to do on this one. What episodes are we up to ?

Thank you. I just watched the first two episodes, pretty good, like I expected! Can't wait for the next one tomorrow.

The second episode was better than the first. One thing they seem to have changed quite significantly is the art direction surrounding fights. I guess it's because the focus has carried over from gladiator fights with 1 or 2 opponents to battles, but I'm not a big fan of most of the battles. The one at the end of episode 1 was okay and the one against the soldiers in episode 2, but the one at the start of episode 1 was really just retarded, the one in the whorehouse as well (quite aside from the fact that they felt the need to ramp the depraved sex up to retarded hights) and I didn't much like the initial battle in ep 2 either.
Animaeus, however, was great.

AW FUCK YEAH ASHER
I'm loving this second season. It took me an episode to get used to this new Spartacus, but I can deal with it. He looks like him enough and I never watched this show for the acting in the first place. I just sort of hope they conclude with this season and don't try to drag it out or something. I mean, albeit awesome, the story of Spartacus was rather short, was it not?
|
WTF!!!!! Shit just got REAL!
+ Show Spoiler + I don't think Crixus is actually dead. Asher knocking him down at the end there was too big a giveaway.
|
Best episode so far shit is really starting to pick up and get good cant wait for next week!!!!
|
So far, things are shaping up nicely. Sure, Batiatus was a brilliant scumbag, but we have our share of villains now. Still can't get over how awesome + Show Spoiler [that scene in episode 2 was] +... young Oenameaus smiles, and then STABS THE SHIT OUT OF THAT GUY
|
Man how could this episode have ended like that? Can someone please fast forward me one week from now, because in the name of Jupiter I can't wait another full fucking week!!!!!!!!!

Shit I was so tense during the last 10 minutes of this episode.
Fucking Ashur haha, awesome character.
+ Show Spoiler +Crixus going on RAMPAGE mode was fucking awesome. But what's up with Spartacus just staring down the mine? Was it to wait in case Crixus actually came ahead and had to run?
|
Ashur the Dark Templar.
Say what you want about him but he (don't press spoiler if you do not want to be spoiled by some wiki information) + Show Spoiler + caught 2 (to be) fuccin' commanders/leaders of the rebellion army!!!
Awesome episode.

I think Spartacus saw the first LOTR movie.

Don't you mean "by Jupiter's cock" - of course Crixus will not be dead and the start of the next episode will be somewhere completely different, as per most of these types of shows. Seriously though, Crixus is the only reason I'm still watching this shit - the new actor just gives no suspense or tension compared to Andy. Not enough anger and emotion. Just some level-headed guy and even the fight scenes are less hardcore.
