So he is the Top or the Bottom? Cos the man-boy lover Barca had in 'Blood and Sand' was definitely the Bottom, as we saw.

Looks good but the original better continue sometime before i die

Has whitfield even got over his cancer yet?.

Not the second bout of it i doubt he will be in season two

through great difficulty i was able to watch this last night..

it had the right amount of nudity and violence.. hopefully the other 5 shows will as well

I liked it more than the first 5-6 episodes of Blood & Sand, has promise.

He's more likable right away, brave, brash and foolish, though we're more limited with him as he's less the focal point of the story as Spartacus was.

The 2nd episode was better than the first, so this has more overall promise than Spartacus:Blood and Sand. Though we know it's only 6 eps long.

I have a feeling how it'll play out, Gannicus is in love with Doctore's wife and we know Crixus become champions, stands to reason Crixus kills Gannicuss, becomes champion and why he and Doctire were close in the first series. The wifes dies in there somewhere, haven't figured how out though.

I like it better than Blood and Sand as well. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that unlike the story of Spartacus this one is original and hasn't been told a hundred times so I'm not waiting to get led to a destination I've already been before. Gannicus is much more charismatic and likable than Spartacus, and Crixus isn't a douchebag yet, which also goes along way.

I think you just might be right as too how it plays out

I am glad John Hannah has returned for this, I am definitely warming to his character more, the second season of Blood and Sand will be less without his great dialogue. I think perhaps Gannicus will kill Doktore's wife on the eve of the impending fight with Crixus leaving Doktore unable to exact any revenge which could also explain the friendship between Crixus and Doktore we see in Blood and Sand.

Actually I have the feeling that Doctore finds out that Gannicus shagged his wife, gets drunk and kills her in a rage. This would explain why he had forsaken alcohol in Blood and Sand. Then his revenge on Gannicus is denied him when Crixus kills him, endearing Crixus to Doctore.

I'm addicted.

I'm not a critic with this. I just enjoy it.

I love the open sexuality. Also the way they talk, It's so bold and intense.

last night's ep was pretty good.. lovely dream sequence to start to it.. john hannah is such a perfect fit

We finally see how Doktore lost his wife, would've been out of character if he'd had anything to do with her death. And yeah John Hannah was a juggernaut in this series, he'll be missed in season 2.

She was the hottest chick on there.

I was partial to Gaia.... Until I found out she was bald.

Manu Bennett talks...

Wow, didn't see that one coming, Gannicus actually won his freedom.

IF there ends up being a second season, I would really like to see what role he'll play in it...

Just thought of something...

During Blood and Sand, Crixus was known as "the undefeated Gaul"... Yet he very clearly lost the final battle in Gods of the Arena, as he was pushed outside the circle.

wtf?

Well, he was never really defeated, he was just out of the match.

A TKO is still a defeat.

It wasn't even a tko.

It could maybe a DQ, which people don't really consider a loss many times.

ah, yes. DQ is the abbreviation i was thinking of.

regardless, it should still be considered a loss, imo. the rules of the contest were clear: the combatants had to stay within the 'circle of fire' or else they were out of the match (much like sumo wrestling.) crixus was knocked outside of the circle during the match, therefore he lost.

he ain't undefeated. sly

Your face isn't undefeated!

Either way, he didn't remain "undefeated" thanks to Shadow of Death. All in all Ganacus' victory was a better finale than if Crixus had won.

absolutely.

Technically it was a team/house match. So in a fashion, Crixus did win; a member of the house he fights for took it.

his house may have won the battle, but crixus himself was pushed outside of the circle, therefore was DQ'd/unable to continue the match, therefore he lost.

i don't usually argue semantics, but in this case i think referring to him as "the undefeated gaul", as they did during the first half of blood and sand, was... technically wrong.

I don't really agree, if a pro wrestler gets eliminated in a battle royale he/she does not get a defeat on their record books.

wrestling is fake, thus making its rules fake by proxy. uhuh

True, I'm just saying that there is a precedent for this type of thing. Also, a lot of the battles were staged in those days due to the politics.

Theres a game on facebook of this where you train gladiators and fight them in the arena.

That's one of the reasons I joined Facebook, but trust me the game is poor, you'd have more fun rolling dice.

Well i'm already playing it and i don't mind it for what it is.

I really love this series, looking forward for the next season!
