Holy poo poo dude this show is ridiculous, I just saw a dude get the top of his head cut off and I'm getting the feeling that this is just the first of the gladiatorial absurdity.

Should I be starting with Gods of the Arena.

this is the image some crazy roman carved into a block of stone: a bipedal cock cumming with a smaller cock into an evil eye/onto a scorpion. For, ya know, good luck.

its just goes w/o saying that its good luck to cum in any evil eye

the funniest thing about this show is how you've got all these uber fit muscular dudes walking around with their little wieners flopping freely

the contrast between masculinity :black101: and masculinity :flaccid: is great

What's the most metal thing you've seen in the show so far?

honestly, sparatcus' first gladiatorial fight against those 4 dudes was metal as gently caress

it set the bar a bit too high because even poo poo like the fight against theocales paled in comparison

i mean gently caress, spartacus cut some dude's legs off then merc'd the poor fucker with his own trident as the legless bastard dragged himself away from the carnage :black101:

i dunno how you can care about spoilers in spartacus considering: the general arc is well known history and the show is not about its plot, the show is about gratuitous violence and sex (which i skip over half the time because lol those scenes really are just porn)

that was really great. i didn't even notice the cockroaches in that scene when I was watching it on tv. :allears:


also I love that we got the chance to have the Gods of the Arena prequel, really gives us much needed background for the various gladiators. Crixus is actually a sympathetic character! And any scene with more peter mensah is welcomed

poor onemeus. his wife and gannicus should just come out and tell him, they've got a really good excuse what with them being slaves bereft of free will

Me too. Now, I really liked the original actress and was bummed when she was replaced (not as much as Sparty of course), but I understand the realities of the business. That said, I found her character progression natural and understandable, even if I didn't agree with all of it. She was hosed up - you realize she was tortured for months after the ludus rebellion, right? Was she just supposed to return to a normal person after that?

No. She was hosed up, and even her vengeance did nothing to assuage that. She was ruined, and only the love of Crixus had any chance of saving her.
