Spartacus: Blood and Sand

[Pennilenko]

 I sense something awesome coming.

Really, now? Like maybe a slave rebellion? No. That never happens.

We don't use green.

From Wikipedia, there are 6 more episodes left. There is a small bit of information about the upcoming ones that I avoided reading for the most part. However, one of the upcoming episodes is titled 'Whore' 

[Cyrrex]

Wait, 6 more episode left, and that's it?  THAT'S IT??

NNNNnnnnoooooooooooooooooo!

13 episode TV seasons are pretty typical.

Second season already confirmed.

Ah, okay, phew.  I thought we meant just one season.  But while we're on it, fuck 13 episode TV seasons right in the corn hole.

[Threash]

Well they are one hour no commercials episodes.  That's technically a lot more show than a regular 24 episode season of 20 min episodes.

Yeah, it's so much better when writers try to stretch a story arc out to 20+ episodes...

My complaint really has more to do with not wanting to wait 6 months for the next season to start.  And to be honest, with all the T&A, the backstabbing and the outrageous violence...I guess I'd be okay with some stretching.  If anything, this show might be suffering for being a little too fast paced with the plot twists.

The wait for Season 2 may be a bit longer now

Sad news: Andy Whitfield, who’s currently starring in the Starz drama Spartacus: Blood and Sand, has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and will begin treatment immediately in New Zealand. As a result, production on the second season of Spartacus — which was scheduled to get underway later this month — has been delayed.

[Segoris]

I think the spacing will be good. T&A and live-action Dragon Age type combat/blood level is great, but I'd much rather wait for as good of episodes as they can put out instead of them rushing it and bringing down the series that already walks a fine line of awesomeness and shit. Plus, they can recycle the T&A with the break. After 6 months I'm not going to remember all the pairs in the crowd when the rain started, so they can reuse them and it will be like Christmas in video format all over again.

Though I do agree that lengthening the story arc wouldn't be bad if they did it well.

[Tarami]

What makes me sad about a possible a slave rebellion is that Batiatus will get killed. He's a great bad guy that I sympathize a lot with.

Well that's a giant kick in the cock.

Am I the only one that says "cock" far more often as a result of this show?

[Evildrider]

By Jupiter's cock!  That sucks.

I sympathize with him much less since (OMG SPOILER STUFF THAT HAPPENED LIKE A YEAR AGO).  I would have rather he stayed more morally ambiguous so I could reserve all my seething hatred for Darken Rahl and his hot but annoying wife.  And Cripple McGee, I'm completely okay with hating him.

[Slayerik]

I like the cripple, he's a scumbag but he comes correct.

So the latest episode on Netfilx instant viewing is 'Disk only'. And we don't have a TV. Anyone know of another source for this?

[Musashi]

Yo ho ho.

"Disk only" as in it only works on the PS3?  That's weird.

Disk only as in can not be streamed at this time and you have to use the old Netflix sends you a disk system, more than likely, it will be streamable later.

[Bunk]

eztv.it

I don't consider it a true yar matey site, as it only deals in TV shows.

[Engels]

Thank you all. And ya, Disk only means netflix wants you to rent out the DVD, which is silly for this show. I mean, its fun and all, but to me this show is an intenets thing. Its in the same mindspace as SA's Photoshop Friday and YouPorn.

[Cyrrex]

That can't be right...I mean, they are going to do instant for the first 7 episodes and then switch to DVD only?  Gotta be a mistake, surely...

[Mrbloodworth]

Quite sure it has to do with the fact they get the disks first. Waite a few days.

[Cyrrex]

That's what I think as well.  Also, it isn't as if you can search for the DVD and add it to your list.  There's only the Instant option.

[Ghambit]

Thank the Gods for Starz OnDemand (which I'm sure Starz did on purpose just for my situation), because my girlfriend has banned me from watching this show.  Obviously I cant record it or watch it "scheduled."
Speaking of which, anyone in here have a significant other that actually ENJOYS SBS?  Bless-ed be the man who's woman can sit and watch this with him.

[lac]

Bad quality "screening episodes" of ep 8 and 9 are on the net. Really bad quality ones if you are used to HD.

Must...resist....grainy man ass and vague boobage.

Plenty of man meat on the show too you know.  You might not have recognized it since you seem to have lost yours :P.

My wife watched the first episode and squirmed uncomfortably throughout.  Haven't been able to convince her to watch another episode with me, so I get caught up when she's out of the house.

My wife lets me know as soon as netflix has a new episode, and generally demands we watch it over anything on the DVR. I'm pretty sure she enjoys the man candy as much as I enjoy the woman candy. We are comfortable in the knowledge that neither of us look even remotely close to as sexy as the people on the show are.


Also I respect my wife and generally do as she wishes. Even with that knowledge she would never ever tell me what I could and couldn't watch.

Your avatar isn't representative to real life, then.

I honestly don't see why anyone would deny someone else watching this series. Last I checked, the most effective way of making someone desire something, was deny them access to that particular thing. And it's not like they're showing full-on porn either, it's just a bit of titties and some dangling mansausage.

[Slayerik]

The prob is, if you go into the first episode expecting good acting/plot/serious show, you will be very disappointed. I take the show for what it is, and enjoy the heck out of it.

[Cyrrex]

I think the plot is pretty decent and the acting just fine given the context.  Of course, it may just be that all the boobies are making me view it through rose tinted goggles.

Overall, after a bunch of episodes it has gotten better. It's like the writers/director caught their groove a bit. That first episode was rough man.

[tgr]

Dear god yes, that first episode was pretty damn bad. I'm glad they had the promise of titties to keep me interested, though, because it got better after that. It's still cheesy as all hell, but that's part of the charm.
