One thing this show has historically done extremely well is make their antagonists/villains likeable characters with believable and human motivations and desires rather than blindly evil assholes. + Show Spoiler + Seems like they're going even further in this direction with Crassus, and this is likely because of the way the series will most likely be ending (Crassus will defeat Spartacus). Thanks for the spoiler motherfucker. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

How is that a big spoiler? It's known history. It's just as bad as saying the Spartans die in 300 or Cleopatra kills herself in Rome. | ||

Also seemed like there was too much unnecessary combat and slow mo blood squirting scenes. It detracts from the overall episode. WTB more downtime and story between the mayhem lol. | ||

CGI is boring and not a substitute for a plot, though boobs help. | ||

You wouldnt be suprised if Caesar gets stabbed at the end of a caesar movie? oh no did i spoiler something?? I was a bit suprised by the character of crassus. Historically he was basically a super wealthy guy because he was clever. When there was a fire in rome, crassus would come and buy the burning houses for a really cheap price and then gets his guys to stop the fire. Afterwards he can sell or rent it for much more. and if someone doesnt want to sell, then no problem the house can burn down to the ground. :D Militarywise he wasnt really the most successful one. That little story with fighting his own gladiator doesnt really fit Crassus imo. I believe thats a story about a roman imperator called Commodus, but whatever.. lets mix it up a bit for the sake of a better story. | ||

Although if you wait long enough some series do get released on DVD eventually. Especially Germany I find is one of the few countries in Europe where DVD's are actually available for most series, eventually anyway. I think the guy playing spartacus is way better now than he was last season. He was way to much of a prettyboy last season. He just didn't really fit in the setting. For some reason he seems less buff now and a little ruffled. With his hair a bit longer and such. I also like his new armor. When he came running through the hall in that villa... so badass | ||

BTW, if it wasn't for Krassus I would stop watching this TV show. It is boring and annoying, and not much is happening. Just blood and porno :/ ) | ||

+ Show Spoiler + First episode was utter shite if you ask me, overuse of their shitty blood CGI and even the bit where he "ran" through time was fucking atrocious. After that the series picked up amazingly, the storylines kicked in and i love all of them (even with subpar acting at points) and the action scenes with less CGI and smaller scale fights really fit well with the style of the show wheras the slow-mo and strange CGI looked really out of place in the bigger fights of ep1. Ep 6 just happened and i really didnt expect his wife to be dead, i mean wow, wtf?! almost shed a tear at that, only to find out the dominus fuckin killed her purposefully, what a cunt, i thought he was an OK guy. Looking forward to catching up in the next few days then Q.Qing over weekly episodes Also - i never studied the story of spartacus, so thanks for the historical spoilers, really. | ||

I agree the very first episode was so abysmally baaaad... I watched the beginning twice because the first time i couldnt bear to watch the entire episode. But it got better afterwards | ||
