    OK we just got Starz this month. I have only seen a few episodes. Does Starz do like HBO and replay the old ones so I can catch up? I know a little of the story but would like to see the complete thing. That final kill move in the group fight was really nasty.

    it was available last night, i watched it. btw, for those who stream via ps3 and use the subtitle feature, do you find that half the time its useless? on some episodes, the words would display 10 seconds before they were actually spoken.

    this show has been awesome. i didn't really care for in the first two episodes as i thought it was a cheap knock off of 300, a movie that that was all style and no substance. but the characters are amazing. there's the hero who you can't help but root for. the villain(s) that you love to hate. and batiatus, half the time i don't know what to think of him. he's fair yet will slit your throat if it means he'll be better for it. and i love how no two posters are in consensus on how to spell the characters' names. :)

    finished watching the prequel yesterday it was pretty good to see how Crixis rose and how the rift between Selonius and Quintus came about

    pretty good but only 6 episodes? Thought it was a bit short especially when Blood and Sand wont be out till next year

    This was supposed to roll right into Season 2, but Andy Whitfield's cancer returned :(

    Damn only 6 episodes total??? I could have gone through 100 episode of this series..
    Gannicus is like a rock star got that Phil Collins look goin, lol... This show is actually a lot more fun than Blood and Sand where Blood and Sand is a little more serious in tone...
    I wanna buy the soundtrack to this...

    Spartacus is my new favorite TV show. I don't want to wait until 2012 for season 2. They've had to replace the main character too so I'm not sure how good it will even be.

    He learnt from the very best (as he so blatantly pointed out to Battiatus)

    Forreal.
    need to have Ashur standing behind him on the Left and Lacretia on the Right
    Those are three of the most devious opportunistic stab you in the back MFers
    I've seen on TV

    Alexis, JR, and everyone else could take lessons!

    Liam McIntyre is the new Spartacus. He's almost as pretty as Andy Whitfield, we'll see if he's as badass.
