Re: Spartacus on Starz
It will be interesting to see how they pull off the art direction the closer they get to Rome. Basically most of the story has taken place around a mid-sized ludus in Capua. By comparison Rome should be ornate and excessive. So I'm expecting a lot of virtual sets and CGI cities, which will be fine as long as they look good.

Re: Spartacus on Starz
I think the brief glimpses we got of Rome this season were fairly well done. I don't expect to see anything the caliber of what we saw in Gladiator, but then I don't see the show doing huge, elaborate shots of Rome. To me, that would make the show lose that feel it's had in these 3 seasons.

Re: Spartacus on Starz
Does anyone else hope that they decide to start ignoring history a little bit?

Re: Spartacus on Starz
I thought they were already kinda doing that to add more dramatics to the show.

I mean even more so than they are doing now. Like Spartacus has a s duel with Julius Caesar or something.
Maybe something along the lines of the alternate universe created in Inglorious Bastards.

Re: Spartacus on Starz
imo this season was the weakest. too many things seemed forced for the sake of ratings or shock value. most of the gratuitous nudity took place in a whore house with people ____ing all over, and the gore was mostly to one up the past seasons.

From about episode 5 of season 2 onwards, I've had to wait the week between episodes along with everyone else. So for me its been Liam McIntyre over a longer duration.

That's the same for me. I bought season 1 on DVD and watched all the episodes within a week. I started watching season 2 online at episode 3 or 4. Still, I have to say that Liam is doing a good job at portraying Spartacus. I just prefer Andy.

It depends on *what* they change. As long as it ends the same as it did in history, I'm happy tho.

Oh I don't know. I love these characters. If they rewrote it so the rebellion succeeds and everyone lives happily ever after I think I could accept that!
