    I'm still okay with the new Spartacus. He's not Andy Whitfield, but he's doing a good job. And yes, he does have a big head Hector.

    I do not like the new Naevia. Not even close to Lesley-Ann Brandt in looks or acting. They did a poor job with the casting on that one.

    The slow-motion scenes remind me of 300, which I think they are trying to copy too much.

    The presence of Gannicus is interesting...and I can't wait to see how they off Ashur. I hope he gets it nice and slow.

      Yeah still loving this show but the new Naevia is not a notch on the old Naevia played by Brandt and i can see past the fact that Liam McIntyre is no Andy Whitfield,he will always be the True Spartacus in my eyes.

      The slow mo stuff is ok,just hope it's not trying to copy 300 too much,i hope Oenomaus sorts Ashur out for capturing him in episode 2,he is such a snake.

      Are you guys an episode infront of us over here in the UK?As i did not see Gannicus in this weeks episode (i may of missed that part,when i went to make a cup of tea)

          I watched 300 again last weekend and was floored at how similar the Sparatcus shows are to the movie. Go back and re-watch 300 if you haven't seen it in a while.

            I guess it's the Roman version of 300 then Hec.

              I guess you didn't get my answer to raider5gt...lol.

              Seen 300 like 20 times, I just saw it again just three days ago...300 and Spartacus is the same bloody thing...and that's what I meant from the beginning...

                  Been a bit behind on watching some of the episodes.

                  Just finished Episode 5 - Lucius

                  I have to say, this is probably the best episode of any of the three seasons so far. Epic episode. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Great writing and pretty decent acting.

                  And Spartacus has grown on me. He's not the same as Whitfield to be sure, but he is growing into the part very nicely.

                    Just finished this series. Very satisifying conclusion. LOTS of people got what was coming to them.

                    Looking forward to next season.

                      They just showed the Gods of the Arena here. Saw the last episode last night. The last battle between the two Lanista Houses was terrific.
                      If I'm lucky, they'll show this new season starting september.

                        Whats left for next season. They could easily end the series here.

                          I must be missing something. I watched the !@#$ out of Season 1 of Game of Thrones and could not get enough of it so I netflixed this show right after and barely got through three episodes before I pulled the plug. I gotta say it wasn't what I was expecting. Half the time it was like I was watching (uncomfortable) porn and the other half was odd cheap looking CGI effects. The thing that got me most though was the ham acting. Aside from the main guy, it was really cheesy, like almost everyone else was privied to some inside joke and went about smirking through their lines. It did remind me a lot of 300 and I didn't like that movie at all so that could have something to do with it too. I had such high hopes since I heard so many good things about it here but for me it was a total let down.

                            Yeah that's what i thought,it was a great ending to the series,so glad a few of the snakes had what was coming to them too.

                            Next season is rumoured to have Caesar coming after Spartacus,so i reckon this my be the final series.

                            I am currently going back to watch the 1st series Blood and Sand,to get my Spartacus fix.

                              I would think next season will be about the growing army that Spartacus puts together clashing with the legions of Rome...and Rome winning in the end.

                              Eventually the bigger, more well-equipped army wins.

                              It will be interesting (and sad) to see how Spartacus dies. I'm sure it will be very graphic and very glorious.
