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.

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.

I didn´t knew that stuff about Lesley Ann Brandt. And there won´t be any incest, the producer said that. But I like that new girl too, she and Agron are my favourite charaters so far. My hope for this season is a Gannicus comeback and that Peter Mensah get a bigger role. I would like to see Doctore killing Gannicus and join Spartacus´s forces, but I´am affraid that Doctore will die this Season.

You say "this season" as if there will be more. I don't think there will be since it follows historical events.

I too hope Gannicus returns but I don't want him to die. He was very likeable.

I like Agron too, and that new Syrian (but Ashur is my absolute favorite. He seems to be a great actor too.). I hope they get into a romantic relationship.

I really like the new Syrian as well. he was kindof funny when he was pretending to be the slave owner bringing the rebels to the mines. i REALLY hope they dont kill Doctore or Gannicus. i hope they develop Doctore/Onemaous this season as well, he and Gannicus have some serious beef! i cant wait to see it explode! yeah Asher is brilliant!

Pezus, if its for money i dont think thats good enough, the fans loved her. she couldve come back and decided to do 8 episodes, with a minor role in 2 or 3 or those episodes.

based on what i've seen the new Naveia dosent even talk for the 2 episodes we saw her, its dissapointing after all the attention she got in the 1st and prequel season. i really thought she would kick some ass like Mira, its disappointing to see her character reduced like this. hopefully the writers have great things planned for her!

Given the situation with Andy and the show's filming schedule being in flux. She probably just went for the sure thing in the CSI job. I don't fault her from being wary. I mean bills have to be paid after all.



Mummelmann on 19 February 2012

Not too crazy about the new season thus far. The new lead is too skinny and doesn't have anywhere near the presence and credibility in the role, he simply cannot fill the shoes (or rather loincloth) of Andy. The rest of the show is fine but the slow motion is getting sort of out of hand and you really have a huge problem if you don't believe in the main protagonist...

This isn't the last season. Steven DeKnight already said that. There's no way of telling where the season actually ends. My thought is that it ends with the battle of Vesuvius and Glabber falling to Sparticus, as in real life.

Crixus and Onemeus die a year or two after that battle as per history, AFAIK. I imagine both characters should get 1-2 more seasons at least.

Oh, and if you are really worried, watch for the Scarab.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Hey Slimebeast, trust me this won´t be the last there will be at least one more Season because this is the mos succesfull Starz show right now. This new Syrian is ok but nothing special. The only scene i really liked on the 4th epizode was when Spartacus went nuts and killed all the romans :)
And btw. is it just me or does the kinda neglect black actors and lesbian

Peter Mensa........?

He's going to become a much larger part of the show, IMO. As for lesbians, they are kinda hit-and-miss. You have a lot of bi-curious women in the show, though!

Wow, those are amazing news! Not the last season. I love this series so much.

(I put a spoiler warning in your post StickBall). What do u mean "watch for the Scarab"? Isn't a scarab like an Egyptian bug?

I think the show is good but I know the ending is quite sad in the end for Spartacus. I wonder how they will do this in the TV Show.


In the old movie the ending was quite sad...
