Not sure if there is a post for this yet.

Has anyone watched this show yet? This is a great show. It is just like the movie 300. you see how corrupt the romans are. graphics are great the blood looks like it is coming out of the screen.

I have it set up on my DVR. It was awful when I found out Whitfield died. The previews for this season seems to pick up after the first ended, not years before the first like Gods of the Arena mini series.

Key point from the producers of the series.

Despite the initial uncertainty over whether Whitfield would return or not, series producers say the Season 2 storyline they had planned will not change.

So the order of what we will see is Season 1 (already aired), this Prequel coming up, then Season 2.

I have already seen promos on Starz channel and it looks good. Season pass is set up and it returns next Friday, the 21st at 10PM.

but i also saw a post where they were moving on with a new lead. i know the old lead has cancer and i pray he gets better. but the show should go on in a new direction. and i do understand what you are saying drivesfast i just don't think it is a good idea. this is just like caprica was supposed to keep us interested. you see how that turned out...

The reason they are going for the prequel is that the lead actor is fighting cancer. The other reason is to keep us interested in the series.

Before Spartacus struck down his first opponent in the arena, there were many gladiators who passed though the gates onto the sand.'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena' tells the story of the original Champion of the House of Batiatus: Gannicus in a more ruthless time before Spartacus' arrival where honor was just finding it's way into the arena.

I found this posted by anonymous on internet movie database.

They were shooting the second season when the star who plays Spartacus was diagnosed with a form of cancer.

The tentative title for season 2 is "Spartacus: Vengeance"

Excellent finale

Well, Lucretia was pregnant by Crixus (she told him it was his child - guess who killed her?) AND Spartacus had his revenge.

Again, best episode of the season.

you would think they would make the season finale at least 2 hours. can't kill everyone in 1 hour.

A week from Friday (the final episode of this season) the title is "Kill Them All" which will give you an idea of what is going to happen.

Not much happpened after the death.

The next episode after that had Spartacus reacting to it. The BIG reveal is that he found out who was responsible for his wife's death.

i am one episode behind just watched the one where spartacus sexes llithyia. she was tricked by lucretia. i am surprised batiatus is not on to her cause everytime crixus name is mentioned in anything especially sex she gets upset. but what llithyia did to her friend for laughing was horrible. she went crazy.

Is it worse than the pits? YES.

Seeing the blood spurting isn't as bad as where it is spurting from.
