Lycaon Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Betrayed by the Romans. Forced into slavery. Reborn as a Gladiator. The classic tale of the Republic’s most infamous rebel comes alive in the graphic and visceral new series, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand." Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. But not all battles are fought upon the sands. Treachery, corruption, and the allure of sensual pleasures will constantly test Spartacus. To survive, he must become more than a man. More than a gladiator. He must become a legend. Starring Australian actor, Andy Whitfield (McLeod's Daughters) as Spartacus, Lucy Lawless ("Xena: Warrior Princess") as Lucretia, John Hannah (The Mummy, Four Weddings and A Funeral) as Batiatus and Peter Mensah (300, The Incredible Hulk) as Doctore, this unique mix of live action, graphic novel effects and brutal battle sequences is set to make "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" an epic television event. Directed by Grady Hall and Rick Jacobson, Spartacus: Blood and Sand comes to life with the unique vision and outlook they bring to the series. http://www.starz.com/originals/spartacus Just started watching this series (2 episodes in), and I'm liking it thus far. Anyone else watching this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I DL'd a few episodes but deleted them after reading some really bad reviews. Aparently its like Xena for gay dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Well, Lucy Lawless is in this series. Gotta say, I never thought I'd see her in a nude scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireDownBelow Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Now I have a mild interest as well. I've seen the trailers and gave it only a passing thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Meh. Lucy Lawless hit the wall for me after that bitch turned out to be a Cylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING WHORE MOUTH LUCY LAWLESS WAS THE HOTTEST CYLON OF THEM ALL God, she's a redhead in this too Well, these pictures are going on the USB drive (it's sad when I type in "Lucy Lawless nude" on google and have to wade through 3 pages of clothed images to find the ones I'm looking for. Shame on you google. Shame.) P.S. This show is on Hiatus until the guy who plays Sparticus stops having cancer. Just so everyone knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Apparently it's a very operable kind, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dag Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 The first two episodes were just okay, but if you can hang in there the show becomes very, very enjoyable. If you were a fan of HBO's Rome and are still jonesing for new episodes, this show will give you your fix. The latest reports are that the actor who plays Spartacus, Andy Whitfield, has successfully undergone treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has been given a clean bill of health.

crimsonfire Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Watched this show religiously while it was on here. Season 1 is finished now but here's hoping for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 As with most things, I hate the title. Now if it was Blood ON THE Sand then I'd be there like a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It should be Spartacus: Blood and Sex for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Spartacus star Andy Whitfield, 39, dies in Sydney Spartacus actor Andy Whitfield dead at 39Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma 18 months ago A "beautiful young warrior" who died in "arms of his loving wife" Well, that sucks. The poor guy comes out of nowhere in his late 30's and gets famous with a hit TV show, then cancer promptly fucks him in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. That's just fucking depressing, guy was a top notch actor too. I like the new guy they got from what I've seen of him so far but it's still going to be hard to accept anyone other than Andy as the lead.
