Honestly sounds like Halo but with a story that's actually good.

If it's similar to Fall of Reach it would be good, as far as the immoral child soldiering, brainwashing, one-hit instakills from even the most basic weapons, ultraviolence, and general nihilistic hopeless one-sided battles are concerned.

I'm currently in Las Vegas and every time I see Caesar's Palace I think of Brad Caesar owning it. He would tear poo poo up in there.

Brad Caesar would open up a sports bar called Cuntworld, featuring naked women lounging around eating grapes and whatnot. If he approaches you and asks you to partake in said oval office(s), DO NOT SAY NO.

So pretty much Spartacus is going to end and then at some point Be Here Now is going to follow it up semi soonish. What a horribly depressing way to go out.

What are the numbers being portrayed in the show for both sides? I'm also not up on my history of the subject, so i'm curious how large the scale has gotten. I really wish for a continuation of this of Roman politics. Of course with a reincarnated Senator Batiatus.

This new marine show should just keep the entire Spartacus cast, but also bring back Batiatus, Ilithyia and Lucretia. Keep the same names and just be "Future Spartacus" where they actually destroy some galactic empire.

I think it's safe to say that we'd all be down to watch this entire cast go through literally any period in history. Bonus points if they're just inexplicably still dressed in their Spartacus costumes. John Adams was pretty good, but how much better would it be with Spartacus characters instead?

If science fiction has taught me anything its that all female characters in the future wear clothing so skin-tight you can make out the wrinkles in their corn hole. Don't know what costumes for the males will look like.

Science posted:I'm pretty sure that at some point Caesar will get Gannicus a Roman passport with the name Marc Anthony on it. Then they go and steal all the women in the world. I am hoping for this so hard. Brad Caesar needs to get with the brogram. I really hope they have a scene with Caesar insisting Gannicus cuts and dyes his hair and, when Gannicus straightens up, has suddenly turned into James Purefoy. That said, what happened to all the penis on this show? Dude playing Caesar is coy as hell with all his clearly naked but upper torso shots. I thought people were hired using the following questions: Any problems with nudity, yes/no? If no, why the gently caress do you want to be on this show?

Nah, they have to wear future clothes, and then have some sort of holodeck/simulation episode where they relive this exact period is history. Bonus points for having characters switch roles relative to Spartacus, and playing it perfectly straight.

The other thing I would be down for is having the cast completely switch genres and make like a medical or legal drama, except they're entering the courtroom/operating room still decked out in full gladiator attire and throwing in as many memorable lines as possible. Everybody else in the show is dressed completely normally and nobody comments on this.

Dr. Gannicus, Chief of Surgery at Capua General Hospital, is giving an informational interview to a premed student from a local college. "There is only one way to become Chief of Surgery: never loving lose... ...a patient." The student shifts in his seat and tugs at his ill-fitting suit, visibly uncomfortable.

Rewatched the last episode and it's amazing how the operatic theme basically shifts to Pirates of the Caribbean for a few moments when it becomes clear that Gannicus is safe.

The best part would be Gannicus' intro scene from gods of the arena, where he runs up a wall, jams both scalpels into/leaves them sticking out of the surgical bed, fucks around in the patients chest cavity with his bare hands, somersaults twice to retrieve his scalpels, and then deftly finishes up the surgery. Edit: also including Crixus's constant jumping/yelling/front-kicking in a surgical context somehow
