I'm glad the writers seem to realize Naevia is terrible too.

...At least I hope they don't think the audience is on her side in this episode.

She has certainly come across as a crazy person in this episode.


Edit: No episode next week?

God drat I hope Naevia gets brutally murdered. She straight up murdered that guy, then made up a story about him attacking her. She's got some hardcore issues going on, and is a real liability.

The show is still airing next week, but not new.

Strange.



All I can find is that next Friday, an asteroid is passing close enough to Earth to knock satellites out of orbit. Maybe they're not risking a new episode? I have no idea.

Is that shocking? She went to the mines and those are the worst place for slaves. She was also raped repeatedly.

It's not shocking at all. But it wouldn't surprise me if her blood thirst puts the rest of them in danger at some point.

Her character change happened at the same time as her actor change, and the new one isn't very good. I don't know if the old one would have been able to sell it, but this one can't.

I was expecting (hoping) for her to die, because the guy she was fighting was Roman, protected by Spartacus and a friend of Gannicus. That would have started the rift we know developed historically.

Programming note: STARZ is taking periodic weeks off during the run of this final season in order to air "catch-up" nights. So no new episode next week, with the fourth episode airing on February 22.

Translation: Spartacus is the only reason people watch this channel, and we hate the fact that this is the last season and we want to milk it as long as possible.


The new DeVinchi show they keep promoting looks interesting, though.

Serious post: Good episode. The show still does the "will he or won't he gently caress somebody over" card very well. When everyone was puking I thought for sure the rum was meant as a way to weaken the slave army in preparation for a backstabbing.

Can't wait to see old man Crassus rage out about his kid! gonna be OG decimation, I bet

Yeah, that was clever. I'm still not sure if they did plan to or not?

Were those ballista things just incase Spartacus' guys tried to screw them? I might have missed something.

Looked like it. Although why they still needed their main guy to signal them for help after the Romans arrived is kinda weird. Strict adherence to orders goes out the window when an unexpected group of Romans start attacking.

I was disappointed when she wasn't 'Million Dollar Baby'-ed right at the start by that shelf.

Very disappointed Naevia did not die. Loved the gratuitous gay sex. Gannicus still is the only character loved the entire series. The pirates are assholes and Spartacus should see through that. Need more offensive war from Spartacus and less inter-city bullshit.

It really seemed to me that the pirates were totally going to betray Spartacus and crew but the Romans showing up threw a wrench into his plans.

Spartacus has single-handedly revived the merkin business. I'll bet some long struggling merkin craftsman somewhere is weeping tears of gratitude as we speak.

Well she is going to be massacred with Crixus' crew, if not killed before somehow. So they need to make her a little unsympathetic for what's coming.

Eh. In clips of the rest of the season, members of the pirate band can be seen with Spartacus in battles against the Romans, so their wasn't much tension for me.

Not proof of that guy, specifically. But it's not unlikely.

All the dudes showing cock on that show have wicked long flaccidity if those are all real. (ie: they're not...)

Amazing

quote:

Actress Lucy Lawless, who strips for the film, reveals, "That was Erin Cummings, who plays Spartacus' wife Sura. She thought she should have the right to name it (penis), so Kirk Douglas' agent, don't call us.


"That thing gets shared around. At the moment it's pinned to the wall next to all the merkins in the make-up truck."

Having a big cock on Spartacus is similar in concept to the young teen couple making out in a slasher movie. It's basically being marked for gruesome death in the near future.

I have rose tinted glasses towards liam. Spartacus will always be Andy's character, but the show had to go on. Liam is doing his best and that's all i can really ask of him. The main problem i see isn't necessarily his acting, but Spartacus has no more character growth. The majority of that happened with Andy, so its tough for him to step into that role. I don't think there's an actor on the planet that would make a good Spartacus. There's no way to replicate Andy's acting, and to change anything to make it his own would be a bit of a dishonor in my opinion. I don't think he's doing a bad job per se, i just think Spartacus has kind of peaked in his character development and the other characters are WAY more interesting.
