Robert Analog posted:If they do a Caesar spinoff I hope it's just him brutally owning people like he did Tiberius in this episode. I would watch that. That's Caesar's life right up 'till the very end so all they would just have to do is to follow history, starting from showing the middle finger to the most fearsome Roman dictator at that point...when Julius was sixteen. Seriously, most people only know about the Gallic wars and the stabbing, missing out the point that he was awesome pretty much from the day he was born. No wonder that he takes everything that appears in the show in total stride, his whole existence had been like ten seasons of the same.

yeah he certainly was born for greatness. Greeks, pirates, gauls, celts, pompey magnus... he knew how to unfuck a situation.

I can't wait when the Caesar spin-off starts and we get his version of the events.

A Caesar spinoff by this director has every chance of being ten times more awesome than Spartacus already is. I don't think TV could handle the awesome.

quote:When Cicero, who was consul that year, exposed Catiline's conspiracy to seize control of the republic, Catulus and others accused Caesar of involvement in the plot. Caesar, who had been elected praetor for the following year, took part in the debate in the Senate on how to deal with the conspirators. During the debate, Caesar was passed a note. Marcus Porcius Cato, who would become his most implacable political opponent, accused him of corresponding with the conspirators, and demanded that the message be read aloud. Caesar passed him the note, which, embarrassingly, turned out to be a love letter from Cato's half-sister Servilia. I'd love to see them Spartacus up that letter. Get some major c-words in there and all that. Of course to end with Cato jumping over the Senate benches in slow motion at Caesar while roaring and tossing aside other senators.

achillesforever6 posted:He was probably too trusting of making old enemies new allies, at least that's what I learned in school. His only weakness. Good thing his heir removed that one. Final "gently caress you" from Caesar behind the grave. Everyone was like "Why did he choose this weak kid as his successor?" while his ghost was laughing all the way to godhood.

If they do end up doing a Caesar spinoff, then they should probably just keep going through Augustus at least to Caligula. Caligula's reign would make some good tv.

MrHat posted:The hosed up thing is that the Romans had such an advanced legal system that the owner of the slave could prosecute for damage to property if one of their slaves was raped (without the consent of their owner). One somewhat more depressing note, the landmark ruling in british law about jettisoning cargo to save a ship during a storm was as a result of a slave ship throwing slaves over board to lighten their load.

While a Caesar spinoff would definitely be so rich with brutality and dope ultra-burns as to be artery-clogging, I am still really intrigued about DeKnight's new thing he mentioned, some kind of sci-fi space-marine thing in a similar style to Spartacus. Anyone heard anything about that lately?

Y'know, I'm kinda wishing that they'd just say "gently caress history" at some point and have the rebellion succeed, and the last shot of the series is Rome in flames as Spartacus's eyes reflect the flames. I'm not sure I want to see my merry band of gladiators that could start dropping like flies in the next few episodes.

Wait. What if Brad Caesar lets Gannicus live and they become best-buds? We could have a Starz spinoff with the tales of Brad Caesar and Gannicus (and Sibyl)  Of course, Spartacus, and probably Crixus and Agron, still have to die. But I'm willing to sacrifice them to have Naevia finally killed after the poo poo she's pulled this season.

If they kill Spartacus I want it to be something absolutely cartoonish, like artillery setting him on fire as he charges forward unimpeded so you have a flaming Spartacus decapitating Tiberius while setting a few other people on fire I will settle for no less then Jupiter's cock to come down from the heavens with Batiatus riding it and crushing both Crassus and Spartacus.

I know this is a common sentiment on here, but an ending like that would really take away something of the story for me. Part of the intrigue that got me hooked onto this show when it first aired was knowing how it would have to end, and watching how these doomed characters would make the decisions that would set them on that path.

You want to go with gauss rifles so you can watch the projectiles explode out of the back of people.

This episode ruled. This show rules. I have no idea how sparty is gonna get out of this but hopefully he kills a ton of Romans. Caesar is indeed a badass, but I feel they knocked Crassus WAY further outta the park. Dude just has the face of the richest man in the world.
