Spartacus is remembered, while Crassus was just a historical footnote and remember for his limitless greed.

Individual victories. Personal victories. Even for a short time victories. But no doubt the slaves will always lose, eventually.

drat. Tingles.

I like how the show and the actual historical events really had nothing to say about changing the system of slavery that existed throughout ancient cultures. It just sucked and you dealed and died and maybe even in a great while, killed all the masters.

Whenever people talk about how much nudity and sex is in GoT, I think of Spartacus and laugh.

The slaves destroying their masters.

As the tension had been built up in the previous season, with j/o slaves, for example.
Imagine being a j/o slave.

Charlie Brooker loved it for some reason:

quote:


Then there's the sex. Apparently ancient Rome played host to more blowjobs than the internet. Rich couples nonchalantly screw slaves while discussing the weather. There's a lot of nudity here, and not just female nudity either. It's always dick o'clock in Spartacus land. The first time our hero indulges in a little locker-room back-chat with his fellow gladiators, the main antagonist paces around him, penis swinging proudly in the breeze. Usually I find it impossible to hear what actors are saying during a nude scene – my brain's too busy screaming LOOK AT THEIR TITS LOOK LOOK LOOK to process anything as complex as dialogue – but here, for once, the nudity is so persistent, the mind quickly compensates for it. By episode four I was staring at orgy sequences and wondering who composed the background music.

It's true. The opening of Vengeance when they break in to the whore house is just filled with all manner of depravity and I was more interested in the new casting of Spartacus.

I saw a few episodes of the SyFy censored version and it's pretty hilarious.

They basically put CGI clothes to cover up all the dick and tits goodness.

No basically he was a best bro but Tiberius had to kill him in decimation after getting defeated by Spartacus.
