Amazing show. There really was no other option but to make a prequel after the main actor got cancer. Hopefully he can pull through and continue on with the series. He plays an awesome spartacus.

Is it me, or does Xena look hotter this season then last?

Watched all of Blood and Sand. Must admit that it's the hot scenes that attract me to the series.

Only reason I watch this show is that it leads to sex every time I watch it with my gf......
Pretty good reason though =)

Awesome seeing Crixus before he becomes a real gladiator
Those who know how to think need no teachers. Tasteless - I think I'll take my shirt off and let my muscles do the casting

My guess is that he will kill that other gladiator, and become champion that way.

Honestly I felt the first episodes of the mini-season prequel was really cheesy compared to season 1. Still enjoyable, but way overly cheesy, t.t

Yeah it does, he was making some good progress fighting that cancer. But I guess it took a bad turn, would have really liked to see him back as well.

BEST SHOW EVER. I'm sorry for caps but blood and sand definitely has to be the best season of a show I've ever seen! i recommend that everyone watches it => thanks for the news :D.


Now, let us go back in time and read some TL.net opinions on the B&S:

I've been watching it. The CG is complete trash - the whole show feels like a really really low budget rip off of HBO's "Rome" (which was stellar). I don't know why they insist on having all the clouds sped up ....it completely ruins any semblance of immersion in the shots.

The acting isn't THAT bad, but the slow mo explosions of blood....lol. Yeah the show is pretty bad.

Very easily some of the worst acting in a television show I have ever witnessed. The first two episodes were fucking horrendously written as well. The dialogue and acting are both really terrible but the story seems to be getting better.

It's sort of like Rome's retarded cousin had a down's baby with 300.


Seriously, it's so god damn hard to watch it. You have to suffer the shitty, abundant, out-of-place CG all the time. The dialogue is bad, the acting is bad, fight scenes are bad (who the fuck makes this scenes with slow mo -> fast forward -> stop -> fast -> slow, so god dam annoying, and don't even get me started on blood sprays...), the guys who did the show apparently didn't bother to do their homework on history and geography either (talking about them running around half-undressed during winter, it's hardly possible where they are).

If you want to watch some fighting and gladiators, go and see Gladiator instead.
If you want the drama, tits and realism, go and see Rome.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

So you've watched the first 1-2 episodes and then dropped the series? Good for you man.Unlike all other tv series, this one starts pretty weak. Other "popular" series make first 1-2 episodes of better quality to lure people in and the rest of the episodes are disappointing as they can be. This series (blood and sand) gets better and better with every episode and the season finale is probably the best finale of any season/series to ever air on tv.

I didn't say I dropped it. I merely stated it's crappy. I'm going to watch it regardless of that (I survived 3 seasons of Heros, I believe I can survive this too).
If it's going to get better then great, but if they keep up with the badly directed/edited combat scenes, ridiculous CG and cramming naked women onto the screen whenever possible I really can't see much hope for this series.

Really enjoyed the second episode. They've done a good job with Oenomaus and especially Gannicus, quite enjoy those characters now. It's a shame this season is only 6 episodes.
