Spartacus A new show on Starz

[rodeo]

here is a spoiler that wasn't revealed in season 1 at all. (highlight)

every major character on the show is a real historical person... except for...

Ilithyia. she is the Goddess of childbirth. i would wager that her kissing Domina with the weird sound effect was impregnating her. then the second time was sealing the fate that the child would die.

I hadn't thought of that. You're probably onto something.

the biggest 'oh snap' moment for me was when they said Doctore's real name. i love all the tie-ins, the show is awesome for roman history nerds.

...

Oenomaus was the 3rd general with Spartacus and Crixus. i assumed they had just left him out of the show until Batiatus told us his name.

Probably be back in the fall.

they ordered a second season already, but the show is so post-production and special effects heavy that i doubt it's done until spring.

Oh so filming is done for Season2 ?

I was referring to his cancer.

From what I've read the 2nd season may end up being a prequal to the 1st season. They are looking for a young person to play the role of Spartacus and are talking with John Hannah and Lucy Lawless to reprise their roles. They dont want a huge layoff until a new season and it looks like Whitfield will be in treatment for awhile.

[Saint J]

a prequel would be idiotic on many different levels.

a prequel makes absolutely no sense w

no it's pushed back because of the cancer. i just mean i wouldn't expect it for the fall because even if he wasn't sick and they started filming right away, it probably takes longer than your average point-and-shoot tv show because there are so many effects.

Just got into this show. It's in season 1 over here - just got past the part where his wife dies.

I have to say it's excellent. Shame the lead actor was diagnosed with cancer and filming was halted. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery.

It's coming back on in January.

along with a 6 episode prequel staring Lucy Lawless and Batiatus. not sure when that starts.
