It's basically a very dumbed down version of Rome. They cunningly removed all character depth, proper dialogue and a solid story and replaced it with copious sex, extremely gory violence and cursing - i've accidentally watched a few episodes of last season and it hurt my poor brain.

Out of slight interest, didn't the main character die of the Spanish flu last season or something? How did they fix that?

he is not in this one, and it seems that it's a prequel to the first season. For instance the Colosseum is not even built yet.

sure it's not top notch television but I remember there were a few fans here last season so I figure I'd mention something.

Jupiter's cock! (Why Jupiter in particular anyways?) I forgot this was starting up last week. Thanks for the reminder.

First episode was very interesting. I'm really looking forward to getting the back story on Crixus, Ashur, Solonius, etc. My money is on Crixus killing Gannicus during his final trials. And didn't Oenomaus say something about his wife also being murdered last season? Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to her.

How much story and depth are you expecting to get out of single episodes? The story that played out over the entire first season was an absolutely brutal roller coaster.

And no, he didn't die.

So far I don't like the new Spartacus actor. He seems too small, pretty, green, and really didn't convey much emotion. And what's with that cunt still being alive!?
