I don't want the show to end, but it won't be the same without Whitfield.  |

Agreed, it won't be the same....but here's hoping it can still be good in it's own right. I mean, there were plenty of things awesome about this series that had nothing to do with Andy. I remain optimistic.

Yeah, sucks that they have to recast, but I really think the show has enough great writing and cast that they can make it work.

They still have Crixus. They still have the slutty and wonderful Ilythia (and hubby). Couple of hawt slave girls out there too? Maybe Lucretia is still alive, too, no? That right there is enough, and they've shown that they know what they are doing when casting this thing.

They killed off most of the cast, lol. They only characters of importance that were killed off were Sura, Batiatus, Lucretia, Varro, and Barca. That is a small amount of characters given that the story of Spartacus is much larger than what happened at the ludus. |

I would try out for the part, but I only have a fake British accent. Though admittedly, it's a fucking good one.
Seriously, could there be a better acting job out there? Wardrobe consists of putting on your speedo. Practicing your lines amounts to having fake swordfights with other dudes. Every other episode you have to roll around with an extremely hot chick or two.

I just had this image of a sepia coloured scene with a roman legion running up in Tortise formation, Gladius at the ready, and then a man steps forward through the smoke and screams "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"
Hey, fuck irony. I'd bloody watch that.

Post-ludus it'd absolutely suck to be Spartacus yes? A runaway slave living off scraps, having to lead an army, and remaining mostly monogamous. No thanks.
Send me back to the ludus please. Whitfield had all the fun already.
That being said, who the hell will be able to fill his shoes? Perhaps the femmes of f13 can chime in on this one.
The votes for Grant Bowler seem sensible.

Aussiello had a perfectly reasonable suggestion. He's even from New Zealand: Grant Bowler."They killed my Cooter". |

He was my first thought as well for a good replacement. |

I'm sure he'd like to take a break from being a big movie star to run around in a loin cloth on a Starz show.

LOL, this. Also, I don't think the show would be as good with one big star overshadowing the supporting cast. It'd mess with the dynamic. |

I'd like to see Jeffrey Donovan get a part on the show. Not as Spartacus but as another dude, because I think he's bad ass in Burn Notice.

Jeffrey Donovan is an awesome actor who doesn't get nearly enough credit.

Yea, but the dynamic changing isn't avoidable now that we're supposed to believe a dude is disguised as a dude who's playing another dude. So, in my humble opinion, if you're asking me to accept that, then the new dude better be a dude who's worthy of the former dude. And I can really only think of two dudes who are both visually acceptable and versed enough in the same kind of awesome created by the first dude to be deemed worthy successors. One is Butler, and the other is Sean Connery circa 1960. inb4  Maybe a less retarded way to say this is: Would you rather the cast be overshadowed by the inevitable ineptitude of an unworthy successor? I don't care if Butler is in line to be the next God Damn Batman. This show is right up his alley, low rent cable channel or not. Jennifer Anniston. A real blockbuster that was. |

Spartacus: My name is Spartacus. I used to be a free man. Until… [He gets hit with a club] Roman Centurion: We’ve got a capture notice on you. You’re a slave. Spartacus: When you’re enslaved, you’ve got nothing. No cash, no wife, no freedom. You’re stuck in whatever Ludas they decide to dump you in. Spartacus: Where am I? Crixus: Batiatus's. Spartacus: You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who’s still talking to you. An angry ex-champion… Crixus: Shall we stab them? Spartacus: An old friend who used to inform on you to the Master… Ashur: You know gladiators… bunch of bitchy little girls. Spartacus: Master too… [He gets summoned] Ashur: Hey, is that Batiatus again? Spartacus: If you’re desperate. Batiatus: My Ludas need your help, Spartacus! Spartacus: Bottom line? Until you figure out how to kill everyone… you’re not going anywhere. |

Yeah, given the choice between being patient for 90 days, torrenting, and paying for a premium cable subscription, paying for the cable subscription is the last thing I'd do.  |
