If anything, it adds to the overall charm of the show.

Fair enough, I'll give the first few episodes a watch and see.

Going from HS's reaction I think I'm going to enjoy this episode :mrgreen:

Opening 3 episodes aren't very good, but if you skip them you'll miss out on some of the story/character development.

Stick with it, ep4 onwards are just amaze. :wub:

Don't use torrents, but there should be torrents for the entire series very soon. (season finale aired last night, so give it a few days and there might series torrents doing the rounds.)

There's one scene which will make you shout out strawberry float YEAH and jump for joy.

:wub:

Starz is developing a six-episode miniseries prequel to its freshman hit, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, in order to keep the series' momentum after its star, Andy Whitfield, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma a month ago and production on a second season was indefinitely postponed.

The series (the finale of which airs next week) has been Starz's first original-series hit, averaging a million viewers each week; the network green-lighted season 2 a month before it even premiered, but now, with Whitfield in treatment, Starz finds itself with empty sets, actors, producers, and writers very expensively standing by.

A prequel (Gladiator Babies, perhaps?) would keep the sets and creative staff productive, while holding on to the original show's fans. Network execs are now in Cannes at the annual MIP TV international programming marketplace, looking at other options, but this spin-off is looking like a tempting bet to fill their January hole.

Watched it last night...amaze. :wub:

Wow, what an amazing finale. Absolutely incredible, surely they can't top that in the 2nd series.

Build up to that scene was fantastic.

:wub:

Has the Daily Mail commented on this yet as I expect them to go batshit mental about how this shows the degradation of modern society and the filth it forces on young children.

Ban this sick filth.

Not sure I follow.

OZ was much worse when it came to male nudity, and to be honest, after the mid way point...nudity is used pretty sparingly with a couple of episodes with very little to no nudity and the others showing some boobs, etc.

Bravo have picked up the UK rights to air this, due in the summer sometime...

Yup, probably when they finish airing season 2 of Sons of Anarchy. (Which starts on April 28.)

Power-watched this show over the past few days. I kinda knew what was going to happen though, as I've read about Spartacus in the past, but it didn't spoil a thing. Utterly fantastic series that was a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

Ilithyia & Lucretia :wub:

Starts May 25th @ 10pm on Bravo.

"Spartacus" will return to Starz in January, but as a 6-part prequel series that will once again star John Hannah and Lucy Lawless. The prequel series will focus on the rise of the gladiator school or "ludus" known as the House of Batiatus, and production gets underway this summer in New Zealand. John Hannah will return as Batiatus and Lucy Lawless will return as his wife, Lucretia; their story will be the focus of this prequel season.

Star Andy Whitfield, who is currently undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma, will return in two of the six episodes. According to Starz, Whitfield is "responding well" to treatments.

“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,” Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said in a statement. “Fortunately, Andy is responding to his treatments, and will be able to be part of this prequel in a limited capacity. As soon as he’s able, we look forward to continuing the Spartacus story.”

Other returning actors include Peter Mensah as Doctore, Manu Bennett as Crixus, Antonio Te Maioha as Barca, Nick E Tarabay as Ashur and Lesley-Ann Brandt as Naevia. There is also a new character who is yet to be cast -- House of Batiatus' top gladiator before Spartacus came along.

2 eps in, I strawberry floating love it. Jam packed with violence, swearing a nudity :wub:

It gets so much better, it's a completely different show by the finale and what a finale it is.

No show will be able to better it this year. 8-)

It's cool how Spartacus isn't actually the real Spartacus, that's just what they call him, and you never find out his real name.

Great news about the prequel series.
