Amph Jupiter's @&#%!! A Discussion of the Spartacus Saga

I'm glad someone started this thread!

Just a few weeks ago, I watched Spartacus: Blood and Sand ... finished the whole series in two days, I was that hooked!

I loved the storyline, and how all of the plot points, machination, all comes together.

Enjoyed the first episode of Gods of the Arena. I love how this series seems to be a true prequel, in that it actually adds to character. For example, how Batiatus and Solonius seems to be fairly reasonable 'friends', unlike their plotting rivalry in 'Blood and Sand'.

Although I only watched the series a few weeks ago, I can't remember the dialogue from Oenomaus (Doctore) on how his wife dies, as surely this must feature in the prequel, as she was a promonent character in the first episode of 'Gods of the Arena'.

 

Morrison's role is very... Mando, I dare say.

I like it... though I'm not sure my wife would like to know that I like it.

 

Ive watched this series since the first epi of BaS and have loved everybit of it. My fav epi has got to be "Whore".

 

Great 2nd ep.

The seeds have been planted of the distrust between Batiatus and Solonius!

Interesting development with Tem Morrison's character ... didn't pick that this early.

I love the determination of Crixus ... and his quick development as a Gladiator.

 

Im pretty sure of Gannicus's fate now...lol

 

Yeah.

Crixus still hasn't got the mark/brand, so I assume that he will fight Gannicus in the test, which will be a mirror of the Spartacus / Crixus test (IMHO).

 

Thats exactly why I said I was pretty sure I knew his fate now lol. Esp after the end of the epi.

 

Yeah both Baitius and her look younger. It is interesting to see her views as of now knowing how she turns towards the darkside. It ll be great seeing her lose control from a prim and proper wife to what her ending arc.

 

I've got news for you... Lucretia's arc isn't over. EW had her talking about how she's in the show and it helps that her hubby is the producer. Lucretia doesn't die, somehow, from the sword through her womb. Though I'm sure the baby is likely dead.

 

lol really???

 

Wow...just wow! Brillant epi tonight with the orgy party! Lots of character developement this go round.

 

Where is everyone???? These past two episodes have been brillant! Reckoning was so badass. So far my fav of GotA.

 

Indeed, I loved it. I didn't see the full extent of her treachery coming.

As for Melitta, I thought it was obvious she was going to die this season, but I didn't see her death coming until Lucretia's machinations were revealed.

 

So funny to see Lucretia disgusted that she finally hooked up with Crixis knowing that she goes from that to "Oh my Gaul stud come to me"

Im saddend though that Andy Whitfield will not be reprising his role as Spartacus in S2 due to his cancer. That is a bummer esp since he had been told that it was taken care of and then a few months later they find it again. Sad.
