I agree new Spartacus is pretty decent this season. Maybe it's because he's not really anything like old Spartacus now, he's just some big shot General with a beard making all the decisions and kicking ass. Whitfield was perfect for the troubled Gladiator slave and I'm sure he would also be awesome as the leader Spartacus too but still, I'm too upset with him now. He's got a beard and is always wearing a bunch of armour this season so maybe his small physique (compared to Whitfield) doesn't show as much.

Crixus is awesome as always. I like this actress for Naevia a lot better for season 3 too, she plays the bad ass crazy bitch a lot better than the scared helpless woman.

This season is very good so far.

He was trying to leave the city because he probably suspected he was going to die if he stayed.

I thought she was just giving them food, like spartacus told her to.. didn't he tell her to go around and make sure they're fed

No, he was cleaning his room and he got killed because of that... dont like Naevia, too much talking and no boobs,
The show is great one of the best but why do they have 2 sex scanes in one episode is beyond me. I think that people from no porn thread cant even watch this show !

didn't get to work out enough in preparation for their roles

There is a nice article about Spartacus and his workout plan on bodybuilding.com. they dont have much time while filming (no idea why) so he trains only 20min but yes he is not that big and scary

I liked the old Naevia from the first seasons much better. The actress was a lot prettier, feminine and calm, she showed some boobs, and she wasn't an irrational, psychotic berserker. They're basically polar opposites. When they freed her from the mines and the new actress was first shown, I couldn't help but think "they went through all the trouble for that!?"
The main characters, too, aren't as handsome as before. Crixus isn't as buff as he used to be, Gannicus even has a little gut, and there's probably a reason for Spartacus always wearing a leather armor. It's like they were surprised there was gonna be another season and didn't get to work out enough in preparation for their roles.

My first impression at the start of the season was that all the leading actors got off the sauce. They all look out of shape with a lot less muscle mass - especially Gannicus (sp?).

Also, I noticed that they are trying to supplement lack of storyline or something with more gore/cgi than previous seasons. I remember it was a big deal when the guy in (cant remember the season) got his head cut in half - in fact I remember my girlfriend gasping. Now... it's like "eh, whatever, blood, gore, cgi!!".

I'm still watching it, but man is this season ever a step below the older seasons. Seems like the budget got massacred or something and they're running out of good ideas. Blood & Sand and Gods of the Arena were absolutely awesome though.



Weird. Production has definitely gone up, my friend.


Meh, I don't think it has.

I don't see a problem with this, characters develop, they don't have to look like they did in season 1

They're not gladiators training all day anymore so it's normal that they are not as buff, Crixus doesn't have to look pretty for his domina and Ganicus is drinking all the time. It's also expected from Naevia to be fucked up after being raped and slaved in the mines.

She had told Spartacus that she wanted to stay in the stable. The hatch was covered with straw so you were to draw the conclusion that the "escaped" slaves were actually just being hidden by her in the stable.

the only problem here in the character work is that naevia flipped a little too hard last episode and is now essentially a murderer. I trust that the show will pay this off next episode or a few down the line, but it's a little hard to empathize with her when she's beating innocent faces off with hammers. if you take the context of the war away from all the killing that a character does if they're on this show, it goes a little crazy and awkward very quickly.

She was supposed to give them food (after the deal with Jack Sparrow) but not hide them from sight. I'm pretty sure she'll be like "o, dey excaped sry spartykiss idk where dey went" and then they'll all be like "wut da fuk spartacus how u let them escape, r u noob leader?" and Spart will be like "sry I will be mean jerk now." Just a minor subplot methinks.

I actually really like how the Slaves are all pricks too. Like Crixus is pretty much a good guy now, and I almost thought he was going to be a paragon of justice when the two slaves were fighting over bread but nope, he gives them swords and tells them to fight to the death.

As for Naevia going crazy - it's sort of believable. She was traumatized but I thought she was going to be alright after killing Ashor but nope. Whatever. I think she'll die soon and Crixus will go insane and kill 100 Romans before dying himself.

But yeah they're clearly making Naevia way over the top insane and she's supposed to represent the "look at the monster we've become" side of the rebellion. She straight up murders the cool blacksmith, she chops the hand of the fat, innocent baker. The writers don't expect anyone to actually empathize with her.

I really dislike the redheaded Roman lady. It seems like every season of Spartacus requires an annoying, feminist, angry-faced female character who goes against the traditional gender role and acts like a strong, independent woman who wants to stand up to the male leads and challenge the idea that women are subservient to men and can't do anything... Lucy Lawless, Naevia, this Roman woman... Etc.

Lucy Lawless and the first actress for Naevia were amazing to me . Im loving this season so much more then last just don't get to porny!.
