Spartacus: God of the Arena

[glidedrxlr22]

Did anybody watch this fantastic 6 episode prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand? Since Andy Whitfield, the actor who plays Spartacus, got cancer...season 2 of Blood and Sand was put on hold. So they decided to do Gods of the Arena. It concluded this past weekend and all I can say is that it was total BADA$$NESS! The final episode was sheer epicness. Now all we have to do is wait for season 2 of Blood and Sand. Sadly, Andy hasn't conquered his cancer and his part has been recast with his blessing.

[The Big Skinny]

Most Epic Part:

Dude with the net/trident lights it on fire and watches the dude burn.

[kentatm]

I liked it a quite a bit.

Ashur needs to get crucified in the next season as punishment for what he did to his so called friend. What a POS.

I think the prequel could have been a full season with how well they pulled it off.

[Lakerlove420]

yes.. awesome last episode..
watched it last night..

10/10
A+++
(one hundred outta one hundred)


It was really great.. really great.. it was really really great

[MMM]

this show is great

I really started enjoying it 5 episodes into the first season "blood and sand"

Agree

[akts]

Yep.. series was epic . Absolutely enjoyed the prequel and wish for more of the backstory of the family after the father passed. They truly became the center of the story and it carried well. Cryxis or however the Hell you spell his name was a great integration to his becoming champion. They left it open with gannacus and the other linesta who sold his slaves and was warned never to return until selonias never drew breath.
Sucks about Andy. He was spartacus to me so well have to see how the new guy fits.

yeah, me too.

Gannicus... went out a straight champion . .



straight up.. .. .. . . . . a champion

[kentatm]

yeah, me too.

Gannicus... went out a straight champion . .



straight up.. .. .. . . . . a champion

I was surprised at that.

Everything was pointing towards a harsh end for him.

[Lakerlove420]

I was surprised at that.

yeah... even Crixus kept telling him that it was on.
He was serious too.. he wanted to prove true champion . .

I will have word with the writers . .
nah.. it was frickin' great. The writers should be proud. Loved it.

And that one dude Tulius ? got what he deserved that was awesome..
set to rest inside the foundation .. the walls of the arena.. bad ass..

and then with Solonius double crossing Battiatus in the end was cool how the whole story comes together with those two eventually having beef ala Blood And Sand..




Battiatus: "the Gods continue to ram c*ck in ass" :roll:

:oldlol:

[glidedrxlr22]

I was just on the edge of my seat waiting for him to get pierced.

Early in the fight, I thought Ashur's treachery would play a part in Gannicus' end.

Am excited about the chance of Gannicus appearing in Blood and Sand season 2....maybe some tension between him and Doctore perhaps?

Funny....the net guy, Ashur and Crixus all had the look of wrestlers thrown out of the ring during a royal rumble. :oldlol:

Oh sh!t, I heard he was good to go? :banghead:

he was but the cancer came back

[glidedrxlr22]

Oh sh!t, I heard he was good to go? :banghead:

In June 2010 he had completed treatment, but the cancer returned 3 months later.

For fans of his, here he is in a live action video for the Time Crisis videogame:

Liam McIntyre will replace Andy Whitfield. Here's a comparison pic:

I know right ...
. . but it almost seems as if Doctore knew Gannicus was tapping his wife.
In a weird way he was okay with it because he knew it made her happy..
no.. I don't know .. . could he have known. . . NO.

what is ya'lls take on it?

yeah, the conversations between the 2 in the last episode were definitely strange imo. on a side note, i can not remember Crixus in season 1 for the life of me...guess im gonna have to watch them episodes again...

it just must of been a long time ago for you or something.
because that sounds crazy. I'd say he has one of the biggest parts other than Spartacus or Battiatus and his wife. That whole season has Crixus.. every episode.. VERY large role in Blood And Sand

go back and re-visit it

He's boning Lucretia alot..
But he is in love with this other slave girl.

He is the reigning champion from the start of the series.
Champion of Capua. The Gaul: Crixus
No?

Then Spartacus basically becomes champ half way through and Crixus is hurt at one point..

haha, i just threw on an episode...duh! i think cause he had long hair in most of the new series i didn't recognize him.

[kentatm]

I love this show! blood, fighting and boobies :cheers:

The directors are also doing another show called camelot the pilot aired after the last episode of GoA. It looks good, starts in April

i dunno.

the dude playing Arthur seems like he might be an annoying punk ass bitch

the ads for the show have also been a little too in love with themselves for my tastes.

its almost to the level of TNT "WE ARE AWESOME, WE KNOW DRAMA!" advertising.

[Lakerlove420]

I was thinking that this could be the case..

okay.. probably not...about Doctore knowing..
but.. that is pretty much an accurate description of Lucretia and Crixus.
Battiatus pretty much knows that they are boning.
After they set Gannicus free.. Lucretia was like "let us turn attention to future prospects in Crixus." Battiatus kinda had that look like he was thinking
Crixus.. hmmm .. he must of put it in her butt ..

[Ruh-Roh]

Last episode was epic. The fire-net move and then breaking the spear at the end...omg....

I was so not looking forward to Gannicus dying, which was the only explanation after not being sold I could find for him not being Blood & Sand. I grew pretty fond of Animaus's wife too...

Next season should still be fun, but man without Battiatus I don't know...he stole the show so many times.

Man, I wish it was longer than 6 shows. And Gannicus is a fkn G! I thought since he wasn't in season 1, he got killed by Crixus as Crixus was champion in season 1.

In real life my buddy told me that Gannicus was a General in Sparticus army, so if we are lucky, they will bring him back next season. That guy is what I aspire to be, a pompus, balsy son of a :lol

But I will miss Battiatus too, who will be the villian now? That chump that got Sparticus enslaved in the first place? That guy needs a **** introduced in his ass too.

[Lakerlove420]

At the end of B&S he tells her he has known all along.

yeah.. I remember.



and other than Spartacus, Battiatus may be the best character
(for not being a gladiator) he was seriously just too good .. .

:bowdown: John Hannah ..well done:applause:

[Lakerlove420]

and lol. it's not from Spartacus but this could definitely be a
"not sure if serious"

From wikipedia:

Certainly other slave leaders are mentioned

[Lakerlove420]

damn guys.. think of all that has happened in the two seasons..
what a great show..

I love watching this show cause History is my favorite subject. I really like the fight scenes, the nudity, and the storyline.

[Rameek]

I am finishing up Spartacus Blood and Sands unbelievable show. An absolute must see with so many twist and turns. If you like Plot, Sex, Violence (Blood & Gutz), Twist this is the must see TV show.

I will start Spartacus God of the Arena later on today.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

yelp, terrific show. You'll be very satisfied with Season 2 as well. It's ashame the main dude, Andy Whitfield got sick and can't continue with the show.

[Rameek]

Why is season 2 only 6 episodes?

[Rameek]

I suggest watching the miniseries god of the arena first then watching blood and sands.

Awesome epic 2 series!

[knickballer]

Bump.

This show is ****ing great, perhaps my favorite of all time. The acting is excellent and they really play their parts well, I just don't like how Talinus and his little blonde comrade didn't look like the stereotypical Roman. I was impressed with John Hannah, plays his part with alot of passion. The fighting scenes are awesome as well and what some other poster mentioned the dude with the net/trident who burned the opponent was perhaps the most epic scene in cinema..

Gannicus also should have boinked Diona(the slave who got executed). She was a dime

BTW, Why the **** did they spoil the ****ing series in the first few minutes of the first episode. It doesn't make sense to show the betiartus dying before the series starts..(I know that it's a prequel)

[knickballer]

They expected everyone to have seen the first series... also, it didn't really matter everyone knows Spartacus rebels in the end.

Well, I didn't see the first series because GOA is the prequel. I'm guessing he dies in the first series then and the first few minutes of GOA are shown as a reminder of the last episodes shown.

So is Gannicus Spartacus?

[knickballer]

You watched it in the chronological order but the wrong order also if that makes sense. Either way, it's not really a big deal.

No, Gannicus is a totally different character.

It makes sense since Spartacus was a Thracian while I don't think Gannicus was(was he a Gaul?) Anyways Spartacus has big shoes to fill being the Alpha male character as Gannicus was a beast..

[gigantes]

i need to stop being a shithead and sit down and watch this series.
