Spartacus is great in my opinion :)

And on the subject of Game of Thrones, its fucking amazing. I fell in love with it from the first episode itself.

Can't wait for season 2 in April !

WHOA that Egyptian is fucking badass ! First he beats the living crap out of Crixus, then he gets hit by 4 ARROWS and he doesn't even change his facial expression, walks normally to the archer (that betraying sack of old shit) and cuts his fucking head in half!!! He starting to become my favourite character

They're really playing him up. I imagine he's going to kill someone major in the last episode.

Its interesting how only Gannicus stood his ground against Ashur's men. Crixus and Agron got their ass handed to them. If Ashur was in charge of pursuing Spartacus, things would have gone a lot differently...

I'm starting to think the Egyptian is a T-800 in disguise.

Side note: The new Naevia is growing on me.

I'm looking for the name of a TV series. Like one year ago someone here on VGC (might have been MrStickBall) made a thread about it and recommended it. I think it was a series in the sword-and-sandal genre, set in ancient Rome or possibly Greece, kinda like the TV series version of 300. It was supposed to be much better than the HBO series "Rome" (which sucked). Lots of gore and dark.

Anybody?

EDIT:

Found it!! The series seems to be Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Thank you Badgenome and Barozi!

Anyone watch it? Do you recommend it?

Has this series aired on German TV Barozi? It sure hasn't here in Sweden, so Im planning to download it if it's good.

If you think Rome sucked, don't bother with this. Rome was a great show. This is good as well but very poorly made compared to Rome. Their are a lot of sex scenes and blood and gore for the teenagers on the site.

Wow.

Just..

Wow.

I can't believe all the people they killed off in the last episode. Did not see the finale going the way it did at the very end.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I can't believe my favourite character, Ashur, got tricked by that ugly miserable cunt Naevia. Ashur should have slicked her throat when he had a chance multiple times.

Oh well, i look foward to see her nailed to a cross in the following season/s. Her and the rest of her monger band (especially the germans) The only characters i really care for now are... Spartacus and Gannicus...and that's mostly because of their characters performance in last seasons. The rest are all dead...

The one big thing i didn't like about this season is how they portrayed the roman soldiers - like weak fools waving sticks like drones. They didn't conquer much of the known world by being like that. THEY DIDN'T ENSLAVE ALL THOSE GLADIATORS IN THE FIRST PLACE BY BEING LIKE THAT.

Hopefully, in the next seasons, we'll see the true power of roman army when Pompey and Marcus Crassus bring their crushing legions upon spartacus
