You're the only one watching Jersey Shore, so yes, you are the only one
Touché.... Haven't actually watched since Season 1, but I guess that's bad enough I really wanna see a ''rematch'' between Ashur's gang and Spartacus crew, would be awesome ^_^
also @ everyone bitching about gannacus becoming so "non-side-choosing", did you not hear him whisper into his girlfriend's ear that he wanted her to escape with him and leave Rome? Then the next day he found her crucified, by whom? Glabber's men no doubt. Glabber took Gannacus' woman, thus his reaction was quite suitable.
As soon as she was preggo the whole its spartacus' child twist was left open. Iirc I even called it in this thread while ago.
Its kinda silly that she's let go. This was 2000 yrs ago with 2000 yr old morals. Peoples lives are shit. There's this contant flip flop between modern philosophy and non chalant attitude toward some random cast being killed but whatever. This isn't suppose ti depict reality nor history. Its meant to be pornographic and enjoyable for your senses. So making fuss about how a guy can withstand impact of arrow shot from so close like he's the terminator has no real point.

That's one hell of an excuse to over saturate the series with sex! As far as we know about the Romans, and we do know quite a bit, public fucking was frowned upon in a manner not unlike today.
To be honest though, I couldn't give two shits about how accurate the series is to how the historical Romans lived and conducted themselves. Frankly, I love seeing such a wonderful abundance of oiled up female mammary glands. Makes me want to latch onto them and start suckling like a thirsty infant.
There are other rather good and nuanced parts of the series such as certain character interactions/developments and Machiavellian scheming of the highest order. But lets face the facts, the show has been shored up by these two pillars of the basic Hollywood formula for success: lots of sex and lots of violence.
My eyes eagerly await to see the blood flowing, the mammary glands jiggling, and specifically, what has become of Lucy Lawless' character! When I saw her topless for the first time the only thing I could think of was being a young lad at my neighbors house watching Xena: Warrior Princess and praying to a series of pagan deities that her jugs would burst forth from their confines for all to see. Its taken many years but it finally happened, not to mention with the added bonus of some girl on girl action!
I haven't overstated my obsession with breasts with this post have I?
what public orgies? they have brothels where people are having orgies and there is a lot of sex but its not like its out in the streets... and we do know that sex was pretty prevalent during that time... in fact it was common for men in power to have slave boys/girls who they'd just have sex with whenever they wanted...

I find it funny how the whore houses are where a lot of the action occurs. Everytime they show a scene in there, I'm like "somethings about to go down"
I'm currently on Episode 7, been delaying watching this season. Superb so far, with only a few minor nuances. Excessive Slo-Mo fighting and CGI scenes which have replaced what was once great fighting scenes, as well as unnecessary gore everywhere moreso than in any other previous seasons is odd and becoming annoying.
Current Spartacus does well, but still pales in comparison to the epicness of Andy Whitfield, not a big deal. New actor for Naevia is fine too, just not satisfied with how they chose to portray her as a suicidal PTS disorder being.

agreed. Then again, what would any woman really be like after being in the mines? It may be an accurate portrayal, and the fact that the situation irks us in that way gives us a flavor of what Crixus might be going through. Great job by the writers imo.
It's like I find myself disgusted with almost every Ashur scene, then I remember it's just a show and that they are doing an amazing job making me hate an antagonist.

Off course not...this is what they want to do...So it feels right that he is the commander of the army?!
I also miss crixus season 1....he was so badass...now...well he is getting rocked

I compare Crixus' character in a lot of ways to Vegeta or Piccolo from Dragonball.
He starts out as an antagonist and fit the role so well that it's almost uncomfortable seeing him as a true good guy. Gannicus has kind of taken over his role this season as the badass that you don't know if you can trust.
Give it a little while, Crixus' transformation will eventually grow on you as those characters did for me also.
