Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

New series starting on "Starz" (some US cable channel) on Friday 22nd January, about "Spartacus" (obviously).

From Robert Tapert & Sam Raimi (Hercules, Xena, Legend of the Seeker).

I very much doubt it will be even remotely approach the epic greatness of HBO/BBC's "Rome", & it may well even end up a load of crap... but it has some good cast members, including the lovely Lucy Lawless... oh, & I've read it's quite rude...

I watched 2 episodes yesterday ;) I really enjoyed it.

They have taken a very 300 apporach in the styling and there is nudity and a lot of blood and guts in it.

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand - Season 1
 

So much blood! This could be an awesome show.

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

After an iffy start, this has been getting better. And of course it's full of OTT blood, violence, & sex.

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

I am enjoying this but season 2 is delayed because the lead actor has non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Just have to say this show is superb and cannot recommend it enough.

Sad news about Andy Whitfield but I'm sure he'll be back in the arena soon

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

I thought the end of the previous episode was brutal, with Ilithyia smashing Lycinia's head in, but the latest one... poor Varro :(

Damn. At least they caught it early on.

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

I know I just watched ep 10. It is a good series I was off put at first by the comic strip blood effects but I am ok with it now lol . Shame we never got to see Xenas boobies when she was in her prime but they aint to bad still lol its certainly raunchy

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

Yeah, I think it's greatly improved since the first few episodes.

As for Xena's boobies... I think they're rather impressive :D

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

yes but I have to say there are nicer bodies in it lol

Wonder if Dilli has caught any of it yet lol

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

Don't think they are big enough for him :erm:

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

what they lack in size they make up for in numbers( Xena only has 2 btw its just all the birds get em out lol) lol lol

Re: Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1
 

Episode 12 is excellent laying it on nicely for next weeks season finale
