Spartacus - Blood and Sand (1 Viewer)

It's getting better every week, you've gotta love Viva Bianca, what a woman! I wouldn't want to laugh at he though

The show definitely got better and better as it went on last season. What was really surprising is how good the actors were. Also not holding back on the violence, sex and gore.

The prequel, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, will begin production in August 2010 and shoot six episodes. The prequel will premiere in January 2011. The plot will tell the story of Batiatus (John Hannah) who is not yet the head of his family or of the gladiator training school. Gannicus is the lead gladiator in the Ludus, but the House of Batiatus has not earned social respect or the right for its gladiators to fight in championship bouts. Gannicus struggles to turn around the House’s luck.
 
And of course it makes a change from the programmes my wife wants to watch, most of which have the word "ghost" in the title.:rolleyes:

John Hannah's role is a bit different to his usual e.g. "The Mummy"

Yes, his performance is a little 'Hammy', hampered perhaps by so much swearing that it does sometimes sound a little comical, but its all enjoyable stuff though. I've a feeling he'll come to a sticky end;)

Saw the Finale of this last week, overall pretty enjoyable series, gory to an almost Monty Python type style, but pretty good. When it came to the gore they didn't seem to hold back at all did they. The amount of blood,beheadings,slit throats didn't bother me that much, but the couple of scenes in which a Gladiators intestines slowly oozed out of stomach wounds was not easy after having dinner!.

Look forward to season 2,if theres anyone one left alive in Capua of course!

Yeah, that finale was a real corker. They killed almost everyone. Very "cutting edge", as it were. -- Al
 
Ugh. Bad news:

Pre-production of season 2 begun following the announcement that Whitfield was cancer free, however his cancer recurred and it was announced he will not be returning for season 2.
 
Just a couple more weeks to go! They are promising more blood and sex than last season. What more could you ask for?

This is most unfortunate. I hope that Whittfield can recover ok and get going again. I liked how he did his part. -- Al
