Spartacus: Blood and Sand

[Pennilenko]

Checked out the first episode last night. I enjoyed it. Has blood, fighting with limbs being cut off, looks like 300, and they space the tits out through the show. Can't ask for much more.

Definitely. It's kind of like this; you see some tits, then they go away for a while, and right as you think to yourself, "I sure want to see some more tits." BAM! they deliver more tits.

That is some high fucking praise right there, will have to check this out.

[Samwise]

Yeah, this show is pretty awesome.  So glad Netflix has it on Watch Instant, there's no way in hell I'd have seen it otherwise.

[Triforcer]

Yeah, she still looked fine in BSG.

Also, for shame Slyfeind!

Yeah, just wasn't my thing. The first scene I saw of BSG was some chick jacking off some dude, and I thought "Huh, so that's the kinda show it is." And never went back.

I'm fairly certain that never happened.  Showing sex with strategically placed cameras is one thing, but TV generally doesn't show what you are describing (at least basic cable like scifi). 

[Engels]

Ok, actually, that last episode wasn't bad. The story may be shaping up!

Yep. Like, they'll show the main character for a bit, then they'll show the redhead. And I'm sitting here thinking "I'd sure like to see her tits" and BAM, you see her tits. Its perfect. Hell, half the time you have to hunt for the tits. Like two characters will be chatting, and in the background will be some slave holding a glass of wine and its like "Whoa, tits, just noticed em"

edit: last episode (3) was killer. Didn't see the whole last 10 minutes coming.

[Draegan]

I love this show.  It's amazing.  It's like an adult version of those Xena/Hercules shows in the '90s.

I love tits... then there is fighting... then more tits.  Woooooooooooo

[Musashi]

That's a pretty apt description.  But god damn me to hell if I don't find the damn thing pretty compelling as well.  I pretty much freely admit I hate myself for what I'm about to say.  I don't think that credit for it should be spread too thick, as I doubt very seriously it was intended.  But I just can't help myself when I'm watching this from thinking, "This is probably a pretty close description to what these fuckers were really like."

Now, before you go all apeshit on me there is a caveat.  The acting is terribad.  But the thing is, it's so bad that it actually convinces you that the gladiators are dumb hulks swinging clubs at one another.  The special effects are overwrought.  But they do accomplish making sure you don't take this shit too seriously.  It's tits.  It's fighting.  It's a little intrigue to mix it up.  But not much.  Here's some more tits.  Shut up and watch these dudes fight.  Fuck me if I don't believe this to be a somewhat accurate portrait of ancient Rome.

[Threash]

The best part is that they improve all the stupid talking parts with background tits.

But the thing is, it's so bad that it actually convinces you that the gladiators are dumb hulks swinging clubs at one another. 

It's one of the things I like about the show. The gladiator stuff at the ludus is every single team I've ever played on. It's like they they filmed a high school football team and replaced all the manifestations of conflict and hazing with actively trying to kill each other.

The last part of episode 3 was good, and I do actually like the brother from the Mummy in this. He seems to be the only person on the show actually acting, everyone else seems to just be doing a bad RP session or something. Sadly, I'm pretty sure that the brother is going to screw Spartacus on the deal to get his wife back and that's what triggers the whole slave revolt. Of course the giant gaul will join so he can be with the slave girl he fancies.

[Draegan]

The only reason why I'll continue to watch this because I got to see a female slave finger Xena to get her ready for teh sex.  For this they will never lose me as a viewer.

[Abagadro]

Okay, now I'm intrigued enough to check it out.

[waffel]

Agreed. Watching Xena laying sexy-like on a bed with her tits hanging out while being fingered by a slave was a very  moment.

[Rasix]

Wow, you guys weren't kidding.  Every day is casual Titday on this show.

Holy Shit, why aren't I watching this!

This show is incredibly awfull.

Hand over your man card.  We're going to have to put it through the shredder.

You sir, are clearly against boobs, I question your man status.

Edit: Every woman I know IRL that has seen this show enjoys the boobs too, you should question yourself.

Over here, in non-crazy land, boobs are on TV every day on every channel. Even in advertisements. 

I give you that the breast and sex scenes are the most interesting part of this "thing" the rest is just godawfull.

And the special effects look worse than those in that movie where the giant shark ate the airplane.

For crying out loud, there are lots and lots of computer games who do blood and boobies better.

You guys are just sex-starved tv-wise. 

[Engels]

I think Der Helm has a point. I mean, if we could have boobies embedded into anything we wanted; movies, tv, billboards and the side of the metro bus, we too would probably be a smidge less excitable about this show. And let's be fair, its written by a 15 year old.

[caladein]

I'm sure there's a bit of that, but also, there's a lot of love for Sam Raimi around these parts.

[Der Helm]

I'm sure there's a bit of that, but also, there's a lot of love for Sam Raimi around these parts.

I noticed just now that he is involved. I never knew that he was the producer of Xena and Hercules. In this case, I fail to see the awesome. It is entertaining in the same way as Big Brother etc., which is to say, not very much.

It is so bad that my (even at best times shaky) grasp of the English grammar leaves me almost completely. 

[Soln]

I'm surprised each post on this thread does not have the word tits in it

[Lakov_Sanite]

Tits.

[Tebonas]

You just need more boobs in advertisments, problem solved!

Our view on sex is about the same as your view on violence, and vice versa.

I was as shocked about seeing one person cutting off and wearing another persons face on prime time TV as you were by the titties.

You should try watching Fox News.

300 had a plot? This has a plot, its the plot from Gladiator.

I just want to correct this, its really the plot from sparticus, just modernized. Gladiator was a bastardization of spariticus.

[jason]

If you are in this for the tits, be careful.  In episode 4, the chick missing the hand who brings in the bowl for the fighters to draw weapon choices from with the really nice tits... watch when the camera angle changes and she walks away, toward the screen.  She has a penis.

[Oban]

She has a penis.

I believe the correct term for this is strap-on.

[Bunk]

The first epsiode was so overcooked with the 300ish effects and cheese, that I wasn't even going to bother; but talk of Xena boob and fingering piqued my interest enough to grab episode two. Have to admit, the stupid show has hooked me. Yes, it's really stupid, but it's good stupid with tits.

Really does make me wish we could have all the rest of Raimi's series' with tits.

[jason]

I believe the correct term for this is strap-on.

No.  After much arguing with my wife about that very thing, we watched it in HD on the 102" screen about a dozen times.  It moves too much and too fluidly to be a hunk of bronze, gold or wood.  At "best" it is a real penis attached to her g-string.  Also, it matches her skin tone exactly.

Now, of course, in reality it is probably silicone or CGI, but they had neither in the days of Roman gladiators, so it is meant to depict a real penis, either cut off someone else or belonging to the young lady.

[jason]

Yeah, well, the argument was pretty heated and you know that old adage "Don't go to bed angry" ... it had to be settled.  I really wanted it to not be a penis, because her tits were fantastic, but I lost.

[Oban]

You lost before you turned on your tv.
