I heard the thought was that most of the war was Spartacus beating different generals and armies before the rebellion was finally beaten by Marcus Crassus, so having more seasons would just be 'Spartacus beats Roman army, Spartacus beats slightly different Roman army, etc.' until Crassus showed up, with little drama to it. So they just decided to skip to Crassus.

qbert posted:So he rapes an innocent woman who tries to be kind to him? Yep. According to history, when Crixus died, Spartacus captured Romans and forced them to fight in the arena in memory of Crixus. I DEMAND that this is how Tiberius dies.

maninacape posted:Look at me talking way too much about this show. That's a thing? Awesome episode. Emotion. Speeches. Catharsis. Brutal kills. And most of all. Tiberius being humiliated and killed. I didn't mind his quick death so much, because he got to find out how he fared in single combat against even the weakest of Spartacus's inner circle, completely pulverising any pretensions he might have had towards being 'the one who beat the Undefeated Gaul'.  CRIXUS! CRIXUS! CRIXUS! Bring on the finale, so we can wrap this series up in a nice bow. An admittedly girly image for this series, but hey. And bring on Spartacus: The Complete Series in a kickass fancy Blu-ray boxset.

IGN reviewed The Legend of Hercules: http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/01/11/the-legend-of-hercules-review Mostly a really negative 4.0/10.0, but there was one paragraph I felt belonged here: quote:In fact, the only decent actor in the whole thing is McIntyre, whose background playing the lead in Spartacus: War of the Damned serves him well in assuming the role of Captain Sotiris. Not only does his character have the most compelling backstory, but his portrayal of "the hero's best bro" is one of the only emotional constants that feels genuine, even if it is unconvincingly reciprocated by Lutz's Herc.

They are all proclaiming GoT the best show ever with the greatest storylines and think Spartacus is just dumb meaningless fun Uhh, it really isn't. Spartacus and Game of Thrones are both loving great, but in entirely different ways, with Spartacus being far more broad and unsubtle and hammy (all of which are done awesomely).

They initially weren't allowed to show the scene of the 'angels' in episode 5 because you could see their buttcracks, and they got out of it by obscuring the buttcracks with CGI blood. Just as ridiculous.

Xoidanor posted:Well I've seen 9 episodes and I disagree with you disagreeing. Hey, I don't have an issue with someone not liking it, just with someone thinking they know more about a show they've seen 3 episodes of than people who have seen all 40-something episodes and acting like some kind of authority on it. I don't like the CW poo poo either - I rolled my eyes at it on Arrow while enjoying the other parts, and part of the reason why I love the show is that in Season 2 the crappy melodrama was toned down a hell of a lot in favour of better character development and badass action scenes.

Vag Assault Weapon posted:Yeah no, maybe you should go back and reread and not try to move goal posts after your retard opinion is proven wrong. Several of the quotes either say they stopped watching it in well after season 1 was established (unlike Spartacus which only took 4-5 episodes), stopped watching it in season 2 (Gods of the Arena is beloved, so again unlike Spartacus), or that it nosedived into CW horse poo poo in its current season (which Spartacus didn't do). ...What the gently caress are you even babbling, dude? I don't think Arrow is 'like Spartacus'. Which is what I just wrote: BreakAtmo posted:(I was...) not referring to comparisons with Spartacus, nor was I talking about opinions specifically in this thread so of course you think I was comparing it with Spartacus, and 'prove me wrong' with opinions specifically in this thread. Also, haha, you think you can 'prove' someone's taste in a show 'wrong'. Extract your head from your rear end, dude.

Vag Assault Weapon posted:Before you go try editing it to make yourself look less stupid. The two of you are quite clearly comparing it to Spartacus, after I show you that the general consensus is that no, it's nothing like Spartacus you're now trying to claim you didn't say it was like Spartacus Don't know about the other two, but I never compared it to Spartacus. I wasn't following on with their argument - I didn't even pay attention to it. I was disagreeing with this: Vag Assault Weapon posted:There's been maybe 3-4 shows in all of television history that went from extremely loving garbage to amazing and some dumb comic book Gossip Girl hybrid ain't one of them. and I'm not required to spoonfeed my exact thoughts to you. You can call me a liar/accuse me of moving goalposts until your fingers are broken and you'll still be wrong. I don't think Arrow was like Spartacus, except in the general sense of 'improving over time' - and their progression in quality (IMO, obviously) was wildly different.

Rocksicles posted:I just said Spartacus started badly comparing his 3 episode shut out of Arrow, Spartacus took 4 episodes to get any good. thats where my comparison ended. He's just being a douche I actually remember Spartacus being relatively good from episode 2 - although I only saw those episodes once, when they first hit. My memory of Spartacus is that the pilot was laughably godawful, followed by a big quality jump in ep2, followed by a gradual improvement over the next few episodes. Then there was the loving awesome episode 5, and the show stayed loving awesome from then on. Of course, my opinion might change with a rewatch - I really need to get the whole season. I wish the version with the statue was cheaper.
