On Starz Cable. I'm hooked...! Cheesy knock off of "300" x "Gladiator", but i'll take it...! Extreme violence, blood, sex, nudity. what more can a guy ask for?

i'm hooked too... show is awesome. unfortunately we just disconnected our premium channels. fuck! missed the last one. also never realized that lucy lawless looked that good

oh damn. I just realized that's Xena...!!!

only seen a couple of episodes of this but how can you go wrong with gladiator violence
how does this compare to Rome wich was a great series

Rome was way better...Spartacus is pretty cool. Good fight scenes

Gladiator + 300 = The "TV equivalent" Spartacus

Every episode is a 3 part mix of:
Nudity
Gore
Fighting

Not much depth, but definitely a fun show.

you also learn that gladiators shave all their hair.... all of it

The second I saw Xena's boobs I had to walk away, I knew I was done. It was like seeing my mom naked in the sense of memories. Also the constant handjobs from slaves turned me off, I couldn't focus on the plot due to constant hand jobs! (feel free to use that as a sig.)

it's like Rome without all the talking, politics, history, story, etc.

Love it.
It's gratuitous like "true blood" which I label as "redneck vampire porn".

Men in skirts with weapons, women in gauzy classical drapes. What is not to love?

Haven't seen it yet but I love gladiator cheese. Dang, iTunes only has the "motion comic" version for now and I don't get Starz. Oh well with a little hunting around, anything can be found...

If you have Netflix, you can watch all the Spartacus episodes the same night they air or anytime afterwards from their online site. Starz is part of their line-up.

Laptop in bed, sword in hand. LOL!

Thanks for the tip, Onibaba. Netflix thanks you for my dollars, too.

So this Staz dealio - can you add these to your Instant Watch queue? That'd be great - then I can watch this stuff on my TV rather than sitting in front of the computer.

Yes.
I got sick of rising cable costs so we dumped cable and watch Netflix thru our computers or xbox to watch it on our tv.

Yeah, we have no TV reception at all - our TV is now just a monitor for Netflix through the Roku.
Occasionally we watch Hulu on the computer...but I hate watching TV on the computer.

Spartacus "Vengeance"

every time I tell my brother about a show or movie I just watched he tells me I should be watching Spartacus.

I was looking for something to watch while commuting but with talk of xena bewbs and handies, maybe it is better to save this one for home viewing.

Spartacus is what I would call gratuitous entertainment. As a show it is greatly lacking, and the first episode especially is testing for any newcomer; I would caution patience. I admire the show for knowing its target audience. Take boobs and fighting, throw them together, and mutliply repeatedly; great formula for a certain appeal. But for something to watch and shut off your brain for a while, it beats the heck out of a lot of the other junk out there, especially anything on basic TV. I haven't seen the second season though (unrelated from what I gather) but it is a real shame to hear about the principle actor. I am hoping he stays well and might even return for the third season.

I think that is the plot line. It remains the only consistency in the series

is spartacus being played by a different actor?

from what I understand, the guy from the first season was diagnosed with cancer, so they filmed Blood & Sand as a sort of prequol while that guy got treatment.

yes, but the prequel didn't buy enough time. so they had to either cancel the 2nd season or find a new lead. too bad cause I really liked the first guy.

That trailer got me all pumped up for the new season, then it says January 2012.
Looks like I will have to go and re-watch Blood and Sand until then.
