i kinda dig her, she's been in those mines so she naturally would be physically and mentally broken .I really enjoyed oenemas's backstory as well. And Liam is doing a fine job filling Andy's shoes .But I am thrilled they brought Gannicus in cant wait to see what they do.

The eps have improved every weak but the weakness so far is the lack of acting ability of the level John Hannah had. Lucy Laweless i want to see more of. Mensah character story i need more of too.
The new Spartacus is decent but the slave rebellion actors are not too good. The story need others too.

I wish they would tone down the slo mo, it's getting to be a bit annoying.

The last ep story with Doctore, Gannicus part was epic and first ep this season i thought was as awesome as last seasons.
The fights in the gladiator arena was something special.

I was wondering what this episode would've looked like without Gods of the Arena. How would Gannicus been introduced in the series had Andy not gotten sick? Would this have been a whole flashback episode bookended with the bits with Oenemeus?
But they really upped the ante in this episode, just when you think they couldn't think of anything else!

They ran a "marathon" this weekend with five episodes. Is this the season? Just five eps? 
Speed up the slo-mo and remove the flashbacks and that's about a half an hour total.

Has anyone tried a family-friendly edit of the show? You could have the opening titles (minus blood-spatter), 30 seconds of footage from the epsiode, ending in the closing credits (also minus blood-spatter).

new episodes in 2 weeks
this season is 10 episodes long
during the fire scene i was wishing that they'd show part of the arena walls crumbling
& revealing the dryed up remains of Tullius (bad guy from GotA)

Last year on French TV, the same channel (W9) showed season 1 with expurgated versions in prime time and the uncensored episodes late at night.Has anyone tried a family-friendly edit of the show? You could have the opening titles (minus blood-spatter), 30 seconds of footage from the epsiode, ending in the closing credits (also minus blood-spatter).

out of curiosity does anyone else find gannicus ( this tv rendition of him ,I dont know how much is known about him historically ) to be almost Howardian in personality and characteristics? He stands out in this respect to me moreso than the other characters on the show.As well as being a celt he really is a badass who likes to fight , drink, and scr...er uh love,? just a thought.

I don't know about "Howardian" but he's certainly a blonde Conan in many ways.

& Conan has a little more loyalty to comrade's in arm
unlike Gannicus who was willing to fight against Onemaeus

i wouldn't mind if they ditched 90% of the slow mo- it's almost as ridiculous as that helmet cam they had in a few episodes of season 1, and the beefcake is getting kind of silly lol.
