Forums - General Discussion - Spartacus TV-series worth it?

Vengeance is holding up nicely with me so far. Liam isn't Andy, of course no one could be, but he is playing the role well. My only complaint is that he doesn't look to be buff enough for the action scenes.

I'm going to give her a chance but I'm really not feeling the new Naveia. She isn't near as pretty as the original. Hopefully she can act well. Time will tell. Anyone know why the original actress didn't return?

Yeah, he is growing on me, I like him now. But they should have given him steroids for this role. He is too short and thin.



Watched the first episode of vengeance last night, couldn't really concentrate though because the shit was hitting the fan on vgchartz (seece being the shit, the fan being the vgchartz community). I'm watching episode 2 tonight, but won't have my iPad with me, so hopefully I will be able to concentrate!

New Naevia is on the right. She's look better in this pic than has in the show thus far. Still prefer the old one.

Glad people are still watching the show. I'm on Episode 3 on Vengeance right now. I had a hefty dispute with my father who said Asshur killed Crixus at the end of the episode. I told him "No, he just knocked him out!" but he didn't listen to me.

Episode 4 makes it pretty darn clear as to what happens..

Spoiler: I've just seen ep 4 (best one so far) and i thought Crixus was stabbed by Asher at the end of ep 3. how is it he has no mark of the injury?

and Naveia is the only charater i'm not satisfied with. mainly for obvious reasons.

No. Crixus was smashed in the back of the head with a hammer, not a sword.

The re-cast for Naveia has, so far, been abysmal. They changed her character a lot too. I am unsure if that was due to her being 'broken' in the mines, or just the actress, but seeing her run away like a coward at the start of episode 4 was very aggrivating.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Yeah she got a lot of people killed in the last episode. It looked as if the Romans were going to pass right by them before she ran off shrieking like an idiot.

Before Asher knocks Crixus out, i thought he stabs him through the abdomen. although its not shown clearly, so obviously he did not.

i really liked Naveia in the 1st and prequel seasons because she wasnt the damsel in distress type characture. now she sees to have gone into that mould, hopefully she dosent remain that way. hopefully they give her a type of Mira transition which has been done really really well.

the actress herself. it could be difficult to watch her because of the change in actress. and she hasnt been given much to say either unfortunatly. so its hard to form any empathy with her character this season as opposed to before. hopefully she turns out to be good later during the season.

loved Blood and Sand, and I liked Gods of the Arena, but vengeance really dissapointed me so far.

Have you seen all (four?) episodes yet?


No I´ve seen the first 3 because the fourth airs this evening, and I only liked the first the other two were just anoying. And the new Spartacus doesn´t really fit

I think Liam is great as the new Spartacus. i admit it was extremely difficult to watch him knowing in your heart it shouldve been Andy. but i think Liam is doing really well.

the only thing i wasnt too happy about was... Naveia!


thats what confused me. I mean I understand why they changed Spartacus (cause Andy is dead :( ) but why did they change Naevia I mean this new Naevia looks like a toad to me.

And I didn´t liked the 4th episode at all, because it was too predictable and this fucking woodscenes where so damn boring.

Yeah the old one is just stunning IMO


The old Naevia is beautiful, stunning and a great actor. The new one...meh, on all aspects.

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Really i found it unpredicatable. the party scene with the torture was not something i expected. i didnt expect a lot of the polictical manoverings of Ilitheya and Lucrecia, if you've seen it you know what i mean. i really like the new character (i'm not sure of her name) but there seems to be an incestious relationship there with the brother.

i thought the wood scenes with Mira and Spartacus were great. and Asher is on fine form in his ways this season. yeah the end was predictable. but i thought that was the best episode this season. the only dissapointment so far being Naveia.

i heard the first Naveia was filming CSI. but this season is only 10 episodes, and Naveia can only be in 8 of those episodes since she wasnt in the first two. i'm not sure why the actress didnt film her parts for those 8 episodes (which i think couldve been done) then go back to LA or NY or whatever for CSI. at the same time, this show is unlike anything on tv, why would you give up an oppertunity to do this type of thing for something like CSI, which is popular (and probabily pretty good), but there are similar shows to that. there is nothing else like this.
