Both are sweet but I think I enjoyed watching spartacus a bit more Poll: Spartacus vs Game of Thrones Game of Thrones (45) Spartacus (24) 69 total votes Your vote: Spartacus vs Game of Thrones GOT is a little deeper I think. I like it a little bit more. It's close though, GOT has a lot of characters that are just un-compelling and bordering on being "Mary-Sue" characters. | ||

That said, I still enjoy spartacus for what it is. bad grammar really? The speech is modeled to make it seem more like Latin's grammar structure because guess what the Romans spoke? Latin! | ||

That was tongue in cheek, seriously how could someone watch Spartacus and not grasp that the grammar is intended. Also there's no need to be a smartass, no shit the Romans spoke Latin. Gladiator and Rome both felt more authentic than Spartacus just with standard english + some ancient vocab thrown in. There's a reason most period dramas/movies use pretty standard english and not the original language. The excessive use of accent (imagine a Star Wars where everyone spoke like Yoda) in dialogue is pretty frowned upon in writing as it distracts from what is being said. It's not like Spartacus is all about authenticity anyway, the language is more a stylistic gimmick than anything else. | ||

Pretty obvious that they prioritized finding a new spartacus that looked like the old one, over finding someone that could actually act. John Hannah and Andy Whitfield made that show great. Without those two, its just meh. I'll still watch it, but I'm pretty sure this will be the last season. Holy shit people like you piss me off. Whitfield was great, but he passed away. People like you will never accept ANYONE who takes his place. And as for Hannah, they had an excellent plot, and they followed it. This season started slow but if you didn't enjoy episode 5 I don't know what to tell you, just stop watching the show. | ||

Complaining about nu-spartacus will not bring back Andy either. Spartacus also plainly plays less of a role in this season than in s1. Even using a crude rubric like lines of dialog, I wouldn't be surprised if Glaber, Illythia, or even Lucretia are as much main characters as Spartacus. | ||
