The next series that will follow on from 'Blood & Sand'

and a preview

Seeing this makes me sad about Andy.

Sad, but also happy that the show is continuing.

Looking forward to it.

Is that Gannicus at 1:21?

Yep, it Looks like it.

i'm glad Gannicus is coming back, i liked him way more than i did Crixus.

He won his freedom though, so I can't see him joining Spartacus' slave-revolt.

I'm not surprised in the slightest; man did way too much not to be brought back imo.

Gannicus was the best thing about Spartacus imo.

Freed slaves usually remained free under Roman law, barring they didn't commit a crime.

Not saying your angle wouldn't happen, it just wouldn't follow historical aspects of Roman society accurately, but that's ever stopped television before.

i could be wrong but i don't believe plastic surgery was an option during the time period, but there were plenty of chicks rocking fake bitties throughout the show... historical accuracy isn't exactly a priority.

But, but, but the very opening says this show depicts an accurate portrayal of ancient Roman society!?

Decent opening episode, the new Spartacus works well enough.

Hope they tone down the slow-mo camera-work in the future.

Screw historical accuracy

if you want that go read a book.

first episode was good and i didn't mind Liam. I agree with Rob on the slow-mo...

Really hope they wrap this search for Naevia up in the next episode or two so i don't get flashbacks of The Walking Dead.

Episode 12, the search for Naevia continues...

YEAAAAAH! THEY FOUND NAEVIA!


oh, they lost Crixus. ffffffffffuuuuuu.

this show has been surprisingly done well..

shame about Crixus though.. I guess Spartacus will be getting lots of loving.. hahaha

Glad to see Gannicus return. Bar none the best character in the story thus far, imo.

yup. too bad he's probably gonna die soon.

Shut your phucking mouth, pig.

eat me.

When Gannicus dies, you can be assured he'll go out like a bad-ass.

They'll likely do two more seasons, covering the three year slave rebellion/war. Gannicus being very popular with homos like you people, he'll likely be on for at least another season; if not two.

Now that Spartacus sucks Gannicus will have to carry the show

^

On another note: I didn't realize HOW badass of a swordsman Gannicus was until he schooled Oenomaus. I'd be SHOCKED if Spartacus could do the same.

Dude was chained and had a shitty rusty sword,

But yeah, Gannicus fought blind-folded and won, he's definitely one of the top 3 fighters on the show.

Yeah, but hands chained or not, Oenomaus would still be ridiculously good, me thinks--this is the same guy who dominated both Spartacus and Crixus like they were children.... And Gannicus didn't look like he had to exert himself too much in order to win. /shrug

Regardless, I'm sure their feud isn't over.

For sure; I'm still of the opinion it's:

Oenomaus
Gannicus
Spartacus
Crixus

I think Oenamaus is on top cos not only does he have raw skill like the rest, he's the most level-headed in a fight, barring when he went berserk on Gannicus for screwing his wife.

I could agree with that for now... Though I'd like to think that the 'skill-gap' between Oenomaus and Gannicus is much smaller than the 'skill-gap' between Gannicus and Spartacus.

Sounds reasonable from what we've seen. Though I don't think they're all very far apart now.

Both Sparatacus and Crixus have improved since the days when Oenamaus spanked them while they trained to fight Theokoles (The Shadow of Death).

I'm sure we'll see though, as the preview hinted that Spartacus and Gannicus clash a bit.

True. Spartacus does seemed to have improved substantially since his rebellion began.

I'm thinking that Spartacus/Gannicus fight we saw in the trailer for the upcoming episode is just a dick measuring type of deal... probably not a fight to the death, but a fight to see who's top dog. it'll serve to answer the very question you two are asking.

My guess is that it'll be a draw with both scoring some superficial hit/cuts.

Not feeling the "top dog" angle, as the group clearly follows Spartcus and Crixus and Gannicus is some ex-slave.

I see it as more of Spartacus testing and egging on Gannicus, as he has no were to go now that he's lost his rudis.

But hey, you could be 100% correct, it's bound to happen sometime.

Hopefully, Gannicus beats Spartacus and takes his woman.

hm

seems logical. Maybe Gannicus tries to leave before Oenomaus recovers and Spartacus tries to stop him because they need the extra fighter.Originally posted by Mindset

Is there some reason why whether it's night or day, more than half the dudes are always walking around in nothing except little loin-cloths?

They clearly have access to clothes with how many Romans they've killed and looted.

you like the new chick they cast as Naevia?

I didn't know they were gonna replace Lesley, so i was immediately turned off when i saw the replacement chick the first time.

When did that German guy turn gay?

when he saw Gannicus. dustereek


but yeah, that was weird and kinda came outta nowhere.

I don't like her, she's not nearly as hot as the other Naevia and she's already way too ****ing whiny.

I am liking the new blonde though, me thinks she'll be making a move for Spartacus, she want's to be sucking whomever is on the top.

And the Spartacus/Gannicus 'battle' was decent, I guess. They seemed pretty evenly matched for the most part.

And Gannicus hasn't fought in years.

He's a boss.

Fanboy.

for some reason i thought Gannicus was taller than Spartacus.

This is the first ep I actually enjoyed.

Liam still isn't a good Spartacus, but he's getting better.

Liam needs to hit the gym and put on a little mass, he's not nearly as cut as Andy. (no homo)

His body probably looks closer to a real ancient gladiator than the others though.

don't care, bro. He needs to be more buff, for my personal enjoyment the sake of looking more believable as a badass.

Fair enough and I wouldn't be surprised if it's in his contract to get more bulked and lean out.

Giant German got his ass Equilibriumed, yo.

^ Wurd.

Spartacus certainly promoted to 'boss-level' this week.

i liked the big German dude, he would have been a valuable asset to the team the way he was throwing people around. i also like the new Blonde chick, she's got spunk.Originally posted by Robtard

She also most likely does A2M.

well, she's German, so yeah...

Spartacus went beast mode.

Gannicus showed he was still a pimp.

New german chick is dtf.

That old man sucks at shooting arrows.

heh, no way they were gonna kill that Egyptian dude yet after they pumped him up as being such a badass that he was put in his own inescapable pit. He especially wasn't going to be taken out by an irrelevant character.

Still, at least take an ear off or something.

Damn...he was like 5 feet away.

Old man wasn't horrible, he got three hits. Just happens Egyptians are immune to arrows.

old man should have shot him the knee.

Just watched a few episodes of Blood and Sand again. Andy was the perfect Spartacus. Tbh, I'd forgotten HOW good he was in that role.

Liam (the new Spartacus) doesn't even compare... And I'm not just saying that because Andy is dead.

Good episode. Not enough nudity, though.

Gannicus > Crixus

Looks like they are keeping it as Gannicus and Oenomaus as the top dogs.

If he loses the other eye he will become the greatest fighter in the series.

that Egyptian dude is gonna have a squishy souvenir at the end of the season finale, courtesy of Oenomaus. deal with it.

Hide your fear with laughter.

Do you guys think Spartacus is skilled enough now to beat Theocles one on one?

no.

By all accounts, Oenomaus is still above Spartacus and i doubt Oenomaus is any better now than he was when he was Champion.

Good point.

Awwww, they killed Mindset's boyfriend.

called it. get mad, bro.


didn't expect them to off Mira, though; that was... harsh.

Actually, Gannicus is my boy, and he went beastmode on that mark ass *****.

Only death I cared about was Asher.

Christ that was a brutal episode... Couldn't believe she actually killed that newborn. Too bad Oen had to die, but I think it was his time... That missing eye creeped me out.

Great finale, imo.

the scar made him look more badass tho.

The Egyptian gaysexual punked the fvck out of Gannicus, if Oenemous didn't interfere, he would have died.

They made that Egyption too powerful, it never felt earned. Just some random guy who was powerful for some reason. Poorly done season.

the dude was kept at the bottom of a friggin' pit... his badassedness seemed to be at the appropriate level.

Anyway, all that happened to Gannicus was that he was knocked down and was already rolling away from the Egyptian's attack before Oenomaous came, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Gannicus pushed his shit in, deal with it.

Your Gaynicus fanboyism is getting in the way of your objective viewing, the Egyptian had him; Oenemous saved him.

Oenemous stepped in to save his ass; he sacrificed himself essentially to save your boy-toy.

Jealous of Gannicus? LoL. Spartacus is clearly the top-dog now in terms of skillz, he stepped it up a few notches last 2-3 shows. He does with one shorter sword what Gannicus can barely do with two longer ones.

Spartacus could pwn Gannicus with one of his frequent and oddly timed monologues.

Gannicus would beat Spartacus while blindfolded and drunk.

Giving Gannicus wine is like giving Popeye spinach. I think that was his problem vs. the Egyptian... He was sober.

I'll give you a hint, name has eight letters and contains the letters to spell anus.

Gannicus let One get his revenge for losing an eye.

Then he easily dispatched the Egyptian like he was swatting a fly.

Come on, marwash...

oh

He's getting his own show on AS.

i heard the first episode sucked, but the dude who said it is a known homosex so his word is garbage.

Spartacus: Vengeance... is different in the sense that it's a bit off-putting as Andy Whitfield (R.I.P.) is no longer playing Spartacus. And why did they change the actress for Naevia? I loved the original chick, she was amazing.

The new guy is alright, and I'd say he's actually quite good as Spartacus but when you compare the actor to someone like Andy Whitfield, new guy has some very big shoes to fill.

I've only seen the first four episodes. So far, I'm kind of liking it except for that last bit at the end of Episode 3 where I nearly had a heart attack -_-

Overall this season was a LOT weaker than the others. No Battiatus and no arena make Spartacus a dull show. Hope it gets renewed though, it deserves the chance to tell the full story. New guy is nowhere near as good as Andy, he looks like he should be on Emmerdale.

Did One die so he could be in True Blood?

No need to rewatch it.

Gannicus split his coconut.

Deal with it.

You're wrong, accept it and move on.

It's not like it isn't a daily occurrence.

Premiere of S3 was decent enough.

That orgy with Gannicus didn't show enough junk. Show instantly fails.

Found that odd too, when before the show had no problem blatantly depicting sex.

Are they ever gonna have this Spartacus guy workout?

no homo

He has a bit, his arms and shoulders have some bulk and definition compared to last season.

Also oddly enough, Crixus has let himself go somewhat. Probably was like "show's been cancelled; this is the last season, **** it, I'm going to Burger King".

Gannicus did too, but he's still ripped.

What happened to that one hot chick Spartacus was banging, did she die?
