Quote:Just saw the last episode of Spartacus Blood and sand and must say the series grew to my liking episode after episode... okay its historically very inaccurate, but the plot twists are thorough.Of course I don't know where the writers want to go, but so far it's crap. Way too much sex, way too much blood in slow motion. Not enough plot (what IS Spartacus DOING for pete's sake!).
When does he finally break out and start his revolt. Will they ever film it or will it just be an afterthought when they can finally no longer prolong his gladiator career?
About the REAL Spartacus, do we even know for how long he fought in the arena?
So far this series is not about Spartacus at all, it's in fact a remake of Gladiator with the Gladiator part spun out endlessly.
