Spartacus: Blood and Sand

[Cyrrex]

Episode 8 appears to be ready now.  Haven't watched it yet.

They are not bad at all at Roman drama. The backstabbing, debauchery and violence is all there. Knowing how to balance the mellow drama with action scenes and keeping a steady pace throughout the series shows somebody, and their team, know what they are doing.

The more sensitive viewers might want to skip the endings of both the 8th and 9th episode.

[Pennilenko]

Episode 8 was awesome........the end though

[waffel]

Hahhahaa. Awesome, awesome episode. Had everything, blood, people being killed, a nice heaping of titties


drinking, gambling, treachery,


Excellent. 

[Evildrider]

This show just keeps getting better and better.  I couldn't wait so I watched Ep 9.. and all I have to say is Holy Shit! at the ending.

[Paelos]

Line of the episode: "Bet it all on the man with the horse cock."

[Tarami]

Fuck me, that was actually pretty good. For reals.

[Arthur_Parker]

Episode 9, I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell, there's a bit in it that where I'm like, what the fuck did I just watch, hahha.  This is the only TV series I've ever seen that I could have created while drunk.

[waffel]

And who's job was it to do the CGI at the end of the episode? That can't have been a fun project to work on for a week.

[MisterNoisy]

Last ep was great.  Lots of new plot threads, and  should be more interesting now.  Also hoping for good things from .

[Samwise]

I can safely say that reading those spoilers has spoiled nothing for me.   

[MisterNoisy]

True, but I figure better safe than sorry.

[Pennilenko]

This show is bad ass.

[Paelos]

And the awesome continues to flow from the heavens. The bush factor was high.

BTW, gladiators turning down naked slave girls in their cell? Once maybe. Twice, you're not human anymore.

Spartacus is clearly not human.

[waffel]

I didn't think it was possible to 1-up last episode, but 'Whore' managed to do that. It probably had the highest tit and bush count of all episodes and the last 5-10 minutes were very

Illythia 

[Samwise]

Wow, I did not see any of that coming.  Holy shit.

[Paelos]

This show may be a huge sleeper hit in my book. I expect it to totally fall over at some point, but the hits just keep on coming until then.

[angry.bob]

Lucy seems to get more and more comfy with how much and how long she shows boob each episode. We've gone from thin material in the first episode to casually doing whole scenes with bare breast.

[Evildrider]

I can't find the video but there's one where she talks about how she was fitted for a merkin for the show.

I was disappointed to see the hotter slutty blond noble woman go, but the new slave more than makes up for it.

[Tebonas]

I was disappointed to see it in such a detail. Damn, I thought the castration was bad last week.

[Threash]

Yeah, definitely a boner killing moment.

[Ghambit]

My gods "Whore" had to be the best episode yet; the end?  Ingenius surprise.  And holy fuck the camera-work and scene setups were magical, especially given the themes.  Why cant pr0n be this good?   Seriously...  there's some merit to this.

And there needs to be a Gladiator theme-park pls.

[Riggswolfe]

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.

After the first episode my wife was wincing and such and practically burying her face in my chest. After "Whore" she told me Spartacus is better than porn. Make of that what you will...

[Cyrrex]

Seriously, that last episode was fantastic.  This show has quickly gone from campy fun gladiator shlock to excellent television.  With loads and loads of outstanding of T&A.


I like what they are doing with Crixus.  He's ultimately a very sympathetic character, in my opinion.  I find myself rooting for him, and thinking "can't they all just be friends!?".  Asher had a moment, too...coming out with his sword and all ready to fight 

[Gets]

The sand part is the only thing not exaggerated in this otherwise great show. I think there was a Most Pairs of Boobies On Screen at One Time record somewhere in the last episode.

Too bad about Andy Whitfield getting cancer, but catching it in its early stage is welcoming.

Well Crixus, historically, does side with Spartacus when the slaves revolt.

Holy cow. I just looked up Spartacus. They're actually sticking semi-close to history so far. Capua, Batiatus, it's all from history. I figured it was a loose "Based upon" kind of thing.

Crap,

Double crap, I, too, thought it was loosely based and obviously don't know the story.  Curse you Evildrider!  Is it unreasonable to ask for spoiler tags on stuff that happened centuries in the past?

[MrHat]

Just watched the last episode.

Holy shit did I not see that coming.

That shit was way hotter than any porn I've ever seen. Wife enjoyed it even more than I did too.

Drinking game: drink beer if tits are shown, twice if there is sex, a shot if there is bodily contact with blood, two shots if a limb or head is chopped off.

Try and last more than 10 minutes.
