Spartacus on Starz (spoilers for US aired episodes!)

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

Dammit, the best shows are always these 13 episode or less ones. TWD finished and Spartacus almost finished. I can replace TWD with Game of Thrones but what of my replacement for Spartacus? I may have no recourse but to buy more toys.

I know TWD, Spartacus and Game of Thrones are about all I watch anymore. Hopefully the Penguins make a far run in the NHL play offs so I at least have something else to watch for a while.

remember though Oenomaus had just gone through a week or so of being strapped to a pole and whipped by Ashur. if anyone was out there in less than fighting shape it would be him.

And damn near dying in the Pit. Onemaus is the baddest dude on the show. I loved in season one when mention of killing him was made, and Spartacus replied "He is an honorable man, and I'd not see him killed." I loved the little back story with him this season, too.

True, not to mention he almost killed Gannicus first in a rage before the other gladiator interfered and attacked Oenomaus.

I'd have no doubt that Oenomaus could hold his own against any of the gladiators put before him. Guy is a beast!!

He is cool.

potential

Spoiler

I'm not too familiar with the history and if Oenomaus is based on a real guy or not but I have a feeling he won't last unfortunately - well ultimately none of them will - my brother theorised, and I agree, that he'll be killed and that such an event would commit Gannicus fully to the slave cause

Leave this thread or I will hack fingers from ****ing hand!

I was going to read up on Spartacus....ok who am I kidding - I was going to watch the film again for the first time in millenia - but decided against it. I want to keep as much of it a surprise as I can.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

I think all of them probably die in the historical context. I read somewhere that Oenomeus is killed pretty early in the struggle. But they changed alot about the character in the show, and Im sure they'll go their own way with the storylines. I havent heard i they are doing another season after this, but I highly doubt Oenomeus would be killed before the end of the final season. Such a popular character, the most accomplished actor on the show. Gannicus will fight alongside his friend regardless, so they don't have to kill Oenomeus to get Gannicus on their side.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

My theory on the finale is that

Spoiler

Glaber dies during an attempt to defeat Spartacus at Mount Vesuvius, thus resulting in Rome getting its act together and sending Marcus Licinius Crassus to stop Spartacus.

A sound theory. If we do get another season, I imagine it would be the last, so Crassus is the logical antagonist.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

Holy ____ that was a crazy episode! They really know how to turn it up to 11 on this show.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

Crazy good? Look forward to tomorrow night then. I'm approaching with some caution, I dread to think of who'll get killed in this show - I like everyone and what they bring to it.

Crazy fantastic!

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

This show just keeps getting better and better. So many good moments in this episode. I can't wait for the finale next week!

Spoiler

Glad to see Seppia die. I figured that she didn't have the skill or the patience to be a truly manipulative _____. In fact, I was surprised at her stupidity. Going at Glaber in the bathhouse? WTF? Wait 'til he sleeps and then stab him.

Tho seeing Ilithyia and Glaber bonding over being monsters was an awesome scene.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

Yep great episode. Slowish to start but it ended in exciting fashion.

Spoiler

Gawdammit they stabbed Oenomaus in the eye! That big ****er again.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

great episode and I can't wait for the season finale. Next season ought to be great with the addition of Caesar and Marcus Crassus added. Both characters have already been cast.

Spartacus is the only one they can never prove died. His body was never recovered

Probably safe to assume hes dead now though.

I'm sure they'll write him as dying in some heroic way in the show.

Re: Spartacus Blood and Sand

yeah it's a pretty safe bet....I wonder if they'll stay true to form on which of his generals dies first though

They cast 'Aiden' from 'Home & Away' as Julius Caesar?!? Oh come on!

I'm avoiding doing a refresh on the history so as to keep any deaths an (unpleasant) surprise. I really don't want any of them to die but I suppose it has to happen.
