Spartacus

[JackBauerIsGoneForever]

Load of shite, isn't it?

And yet, I can't seem to stop watching....do you think it's something subliminal?

Utter tosh, wooden acting and crap dialogue.

I love it!!

I'm guiltily enjoying this too . Lots of good comedy bits tonight. I'm sure it's supposed to be crap isn't it ? The actors all look like they are having fun anyway.

Have just discovered it and am enjoying!

I love this! It is absolute trash

but the thighs, the abs, the men - woh!

All that oiling! They must have gone through GALLONS of oil making this. Not to mention the gallons of fake blood.

Sad that the lead actor/spartacus chap has cancer .

Oh no, liath, that is sad, how is he?
I was very confused by hannah's wifeys hair, were they both wigs?
and that blonde bit has major issues, no?

Ooh, just googled + he is cancer free, was non hodgkins lymphoma.
can't linky on phone but it said they were putting off season 2 so he could recover + filming a 6 ep prequel with john hannah + lucy lawless. Is his wifey lucy lawless? Really?! I hadn't noticed!

Its my secret sky+ shame!
Loving the muscly men DP obviously thinks its just because I am interested in the ancient greeks...!
Didn't realise Lucy Lawless was in it. She's great. In my head I am so Xena.

DH just sits there huffing "this is so historically inaccurate" and I am thinking, er who cares?

Well bugger me, lucretia is lucy lawless! must be the hair putting me off

It is so inaccurate, I am a bt obsessed with sparta and we are expected to believe a spartan can't fight proeprly? and would throw his spear away? pah!

not that I acre

quote of the episode "he looks like a rutting animal"

oh it is so bad. I love it hehe

LOL grapeandlemon, and "make him do it again". PMSL.

DH is enjoying it for the fighting, while I am enjoying it for the well oiled bodies historical context.

Igotdh hooked on the first episode by pausing it when that blonde bit stripped off for the twatty roman, and pressing play when he walked in. He has an inbuilt 'boobie' sensor. Shame she hasn't done it again, haha!

I've seen the trailers for this but don't have the channels to watch it until it gets to terrestrial - I'm assuming Ch4 will likely pick it up.

I'm imagining it's something akin to The Tudors - thin veil of history over buckets of sex and blood?

just read this as Sportacus and was puzzled about the fake blood and oil!!

'thin' veil is the word squitten, although it is quite good for mythic stories it is still a load of bollocks. Fun bollocks though

Although boogywoogy has just ruined it by bringing in a mental image of sportacus

LMAO, I'd quite go for an oiled up semi/practically naked Sporticus though! Imagine him backflipping in a loin cloth!

Is anyoneelse still watching? Dh and i were highly amused at john hannah going all fucking ghetto

I saw that coming. and i cried.

Have they all given up hiding their accents now as well? Weird.

I cried too . Poor Spartacus! All oiled and buffed in his shiney armour and the wife just pegs it in his arms.

stop it. I am sad

But seriously, wtf is with blond roman's hair, it is a wig, no? It is really pissing me off!

Poor Spartacus. Batiatus is a sly dog isn't he, although I do wonder if John Hannah is wondering to himself what exactly he's doing there sometimes.

LOL at the accent spot Quality, Spartacus gets more Ozzy by the minute.

Missed Crixus this week, hope his wounds have healed next episode.

Crixus will be fine watch this to keep you going until next week though

John Hannah is amusing me so much, especially with the slave girls and violence, it really shocks me as I don't expect it fromhim, he's such a nice boy. I bet he's loving it.
