It's on a big beefcake, I'm not sure if you'd like it. The show (two episodes in) is a bunch of sweaty, naked dudes covered in oil fighting one another.
... I don't know anything about the Spartacus legend, so I can't tell you if it's accurate or not. The violence is so ridiculously over-the-top. There's a lot of slow motion, but that seemed to die down in the second episode. It's on Netflix if you want to take a gander, Eric P.
Finally a thread for this.
You guys should check the last episode release (4), gay sex for those interested.
More Xena doing her thing
Crazy violence (a man wearing another dude's face after killing him) :lol
its so extreme and plus they have this disclaimer saying that its content is representative of the time period being depicted.

I still miss HBO's wonderful series ROME, and my weekly dose of Titus Pullo, Lucius Vorenus, Octavian, Antony, Atia, and the rest of that wacky gang.http://grrm.livejournal.com/129118.html
So much so that last night I watched the debut of SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND on Starz.
Learn from my mistake, boys and girls. Don't go where I went.
Starz is not HBO, and this SPARTACUS is not ROME. Hell, it is not even SPARTACUS. Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, and Laurence Olivier are nowhere in sight. The writing and acting here are pretty much on a par with the historical accuracy. The visual style, especially in the action scenes, attempts to borrow from 300... but the slow-mo slaughter gets old really fast, and the giant gouts of blood being splashed around at every opportunity soon become silly, and began to remind me of nothing so much as the Black Knight sequence in MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. There's one scene near the end where a gladiator who has had both legs cut off is trying to drag himself away across the sand, and I was half expecting him to pop up, proclaim it just a flesh wound, and try to continue the fight.
I am going to have to watch all of I, CLAUDIUS again to get the taste out of my mouth. Pfui.
They have a whole scene where her husband and her are getting ready for sex, but he's not erect enough, so he has a slave girl suck him off until he's ready to bang her against a wall. :lol
I have never seen Rome.

Oral was a rather big taboo in ancient Rome and wouldn't have been done, at least not with the purpose of entering the wife right after. No one brushed their teeth, and it was thought that the mouth was more dirty than the asshole. HISTORICAL INACCURACIES!
Also how can you have not seen Rome? wtf

Actually, Spartacus is probably historically accurate, since the guy got his slave to suck him off instead of his wife. She was just getting him all ready.

But then wouldn't he be defiling his wife's vagina with the dirtiness of the slave's mouth?
To be fair, Lucy Lawlesas' character seems like kind of a slut. I haven't gotten farther than episode two, but I'm pretty sure she is banging gladiators all the time.
There are a lot of "fuck your brains out" glances.
you know taking your new post and sticking it into the old one doesn't really help solve the double post problem since your second post will still exist.

The other half was people ruining the shit of others and petty squabbling.
After viewing all five episodes, I decided to resurrect my blog to post about them. Instead of regurgitating my opinion, I'll just redirect you (http://hollywoodsellouts.com/2010/02/20/this-is-spartacus.aspx).
The "tl;dr" crowd, my thoughts boil down to this:
It's juvenile, crass and feels forged by the hands of adolescent boys at recess. And despite the fact that I should hate it, I am perversely entertained by it. I can't break free.

Your answer to the second part is in the first part.
Wilco: came for Xena boob, stayed for the gay sex.
Yea the fight was awesome.oh he's all right, and once he's back on his feet he'll have three women trying to screw him. I do feel bad about the magistrate's nephew though:
poor Crixus though :'(
Holy shit that theocles fight was epic. The thing about this show is that it knows exactly how trashy it is and embraces it completely, I love it.
I also just noticed that every main female character so far has been topless, and they are all hot.Yea the fight was awesome.oh he's all right, and once he's back on his feet he'll have three women trying to screw him. I do feel bad about the magistrate's nephew though:
poor Crixus though :'(spoiler (click to show/hide)the kid who saw his family killed but maybe Barca spared him?[close]
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU why isn't the episode online yet :'(
Somebody link me to a screen cap of Xena boob for god's sake.
Sucks to be you. Move to a country that matters?
Does anyone know why Lucy Lawless was just spontaneously dropped from BSG?
That always bothered me.
Saul Tigh, still in service uniform, organizes the evacuation of the survey crews on Earth in preparation for their search for a new home. On the beach, he greets D'Anna Biers. She doesn't want to leave, deciding to stay behind, believing that the cycle of life will keep going on as dreadfully as before. "...and it beats the hell out of being out there with Cavil. Gonna die in the cold and the dark when Cavil catches up with us." Tigh tries to give encouragement, but Biers asks if he ever wanted to just give up, reminding him of Adama's story of the penned-in foxes.

Just watched the first two episodes. Pretty ok so far. The leading actor is way too emo though.

Xena has some fine breasts btw. Damn.

Jesus. Though to be fair he isn't an essential part of the show. As long as there are boobies and blood the show will go on.
:lol No it's notUh, yeah it is. And he is essential to the show.
More pics needed.Agreed. More Xena-bewbies can only be a good thing.
Los Angeles, Calif. (NCTA Cable Show 2010) – May 11, 2010 – Pre-production is underway on a six-part prequel to Starz’ hit original series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”
Andy Whitfield, who played the title character in the series, will appear in the prequel briefly, but Lucy Lawless and John Hannah take center stage in this story of the rise of the House of Batiatus and its champions before Spartacus arrives as a captured Thracian slave. With the title still to be determined, the prequel will begin production this summer in New Zealand, and is slated to air on Starz in January 2011.
John Hannah returns as Batiatus, owner of the Ludus, along with his wife Lucretia, played by Lucy Lawless. Other returning actors include Peter Mensah (Doctore), Manu Bennett (Crixus), Antonio Te Maioha (Barca), Nick E. Tarabay (Ashur), Lesley-Ann Brandt (Naevia) – and others. New characters will also be added – most notably the gladiator who was champion of the House of Batiatus before Spartacus or even Crixus – who will help fill in the story about the people and politics in the House of Batiatus and ancient Capua as a whole.
Production on the second season of “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” was postponed this spring to allow Andy Whitfield to be treated for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in New Zealand. His doctors indicate that the actor is responding well.
“The prequel story maintains the excitement and entertainment value of the first season of ‘Spartacus,’ giving audiences the engaging experience they’ve come to expect,” said Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht. “We look forward to continuing the Spartacus story.”
Produced by Rob Tapert, Sam Raimi, Joshua Donen and Steven S. DeKnight, “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” was the highest rated show for the 18-49 demographic among all cable networks for 12 of the 13 Fridays on which it aired based on coverage rating.* The production team remains intact for the six-part prequel.
Funny seeing the people who bashed 300 all of a sudden praising Spartacus, which is shittier :teeheeWrong again PD.
Funny seeing the people who bashed 300 all of a sudden praising Spartacus, which is shittier :teehee300 was boring and too melodramatic. spartacus at least has lots of humor and believable plot twists. it's like RDJ says, you're only supposed to go half-distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

Wrong again PD.
This. One thousand times, this.Funny seeing the people who bashed 300 all of a sudden praising Spartacus, which is shittier :teehee300 was boring and too melodramatic. spartacus at least has lots of humor and believable plot twists. it's like RDJ says, you're only supposed to go half-distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.
So this show has full Evilbore approval, and if I download and don't like it...smh to you allDon't come in here bitching after only watching the first ep. It's the weakest of the season.
Torrents lol.They don't really have a choice. They can't start filming the 2nd season and they don't wanna lose their fanbase.
And I'm kinda disappointed about the prequel announcement. I hate prequels.
Pilot had more than a few LOL-worthy moments, but it was alright. Just finished the second ep though, it was pretty boss :bow
My biggest complaint is the gratuitous green screen shit. Starz can't afford to build a decent set or use actual backgrounds for shots? All the CGI skies and building shots are bad. I like the show so far though
i'm sure she wouldn't be appreciative of hearing "i want your cock in me" late at night.

That's not what I've heard. :pimp
This show would be right up my parent's alley considering they loved 300 and similar stuff, but the nudity would probably be too much for them.

HOLY FUCK @ finalewell they named the show spartacus so you kinda knew how the season finale had to end but yeah that was insane.spoiler (click to show/hide)I didn't see that coming at fucking all. I really expected it to end with someone betraying Spartacus and all the gladiators/slaves being put to death. Instead his plan went almost exactly as planned. I guess if it gets a second season he'll be freeing other gladiators while attempting to get to Glabba and his damn wife.
Can't help but wonder if such an explosive finale will be looked back on as the shark jumping moment. John Hannah was great as Batiatus and really grounded the show.[close]

Now I just wish the prequel spin off lives up to its namesake and that whoever they get to replace Andy Whitfield is able to do the job.
I didn't see that coming at fucking all. I really expected it to end with someone betraying Spartacus Actually when Batiatus names Spartacus he references a gladiator of times past with the same name - at that point I assumed this wasn't the original Spartacus story.
