There are Babes threads, but no discussion threads for this Starz series. So, discuss...:hatsoff:

trailer makes it looks like 300 with roman gladiators...that's all i've seen of it, entertaining i presume?

I've seen Blood & Sand... and it's hardly high culture...

...but it's good entertainment. Blood, sex, hot bodies, intrigues, loads of sexy powerplay (for instance Lucy Lawless ordering a male slave around to bang her so she can get pregnant ) , and more greenscreen than you can wave a stick at. It's all good entertainment.

You've got several clips of it in the FO link to Lucy above. Example: http://www.daily-celebvideos.com/bc_tube/jaime_murray/jaime_murray_freeones.html

I recently watched Blood and Sand and I enjoyed the hell out of it. While certainly not historically accurate it does give you at least a glimpse at what life was like for slaves and gladiators in Ancient Rome. I was really impressed with Andy Whitfield as Spartacus. The season finale was awesome and I eagerly await next season. There are buckets of CG blood and T 'n A...all good things.

That's a good analogy. It's pretty violent, gory and sexy, with dialogue that's often hard to follow. It sounds like reading Ovid. But for some reading it's damn entertaining.

Its a great show I have caught a bunch of episodes - and just noticed they are now on the instant netflix - I plan to get all caught up soon. Lucy Lawless is something, always liked her in Xena, but she has many talents (acting and singing / musicals, etc).

The show does get a little to much into green screen stuff, but I guess that keeps the budget way down now days.

All and all an excellent show to watch, but thats just IMO.

in Episode 1— I'm hooked!

When I saw trailers/episodes for Starz's Spartacus, it reminded me of Warner Bros' 300 in its action sequences and imageries.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena was created as an off-shoot while Blood and Sands: Season 2 was on hold due to Andy Whitfield's health issues. According to the latest Wiki updates, Andy's health condition is not in remission and so a search for a new actor to portray Spartacus.

It would be cool if they get Gerard Butler to portray Spartacus. :thumbsup:

my girl and i watched one or two of em. pretty bad ripoff of 300 except it boarders on softcore. but yes, full beavs everywhere.

 

[meesterperfect]

if i want to see sex i'll watch porn.
please don't mix my action/drama with fucking.
its unnecessary, i'm not that desperate.

" oh look did you see her nipple?".
fuck that.

I thought Spartacus: Blood and Sand had the most satisfying season finale of all-time.

Gaia played by Jaime Murray.:surprise:

 

[L3ggy]

I think I need to watch this show.

 

[CunningStunts]

Original series was pretty good if you like sex and violence... which I do!

The new "prequel" is ok, but not as good IMHO.

They found someone new to play the lead role.
Andy Whitfield did a great job playing lead so it will be hard to replace him.
Good luck to Liam McIntyre.

Good news.

I don't know if anyone saw the last episode of Gods but I was a little disappointed because it was more of a soap opera. Although I hope Tullius gets his nuts sworded off.:surprise:

I never thought I'd find sex & violence boring, but this show was so repetitive that it did become pretty dull.
