    Spartacus: Blood and Sand

    Anyone else watching this show?

    I had some free time one night and I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty bad. But then I still had free time so I watched the next episode as well and somehow it started getting better. Now I'm caught up with all 10 episodes of the first season and I've got to say its a fantastic show!

    Warning to anyone that may be interested: Lots of CGI blood and nudity (female and male). Pretty much the series creators wanted to depict the show as closely as they could to Roman times which means they have to include all these crazy things the Romans did back in the day. Also try to sit through the first 2 episodes, it does get better after that.

    Its similar to the series Rome in some regards for those who might have watched that.

    I watch it too. I'll freely admit that the reason I started was because of all the pre-premiere Lucy Lawless interviews where she talked about how naked she gets in it, but after watching the show I've come to really like it for its own merits too. Yes the first episode is a little of a struggle, but past that it's really good. It has a really nice feeling of having meshed Rome with 300.

        Yes I liked that part and then she goes crazy. I found it kind of funny that she had super human strength all of a sudden when she was attacking the other one (i forget her name). Either way, she's devious but really hot at the same time.

          Oooh, i hate her even more after seeing ep 10. Cant wait to see what Spartacus does when he finds out she was behind it.

            Wow I wasn't expecting that! (The end of 1.10)

              Anyone notice the look on Crixos face when that kid chose Varro?

                I knew something was gonna happen because of the Illythia scene earlier on, but wasn't sure what.

                However,

                Spoiler:
                I was expecting Varro to die because pretty much any character that is fictional is dispensable. Not saying that the entire Spartacus history is pure fact since very little information is known, but usually there's a consistency in the history books with regards to the major figures involved. So if its a fictional character in the show that's not part of history, expect them to get killed off at some point.

                  I am so glad I found a thread on this show. I have been watching it from the beginning, and have really come to love it. IMO, this is the best new show this season.

                    The first few episodes were hilariously bad and cheesy but the show has been getting progressively better as it goes on.

                      For me, the first few episodes are what kept me interested in watching. The show has gotten even better though, that I will openly admit. I really can't wait for tomorrow night's episode.

                          I am trying not to think about that. I bet they will be some of the best yet though.

                            Last night's episode was great. I can't believe how good the show has gotten after a terrible start. Too bad there's only one more episode in the season. But I heard it has been picked up for a 2nd season so that is something to look forward to.

                              Yeah, last night's episode was indeed great. One of the best this season. Next Friday's season finale should be epic.
