Just got home from watching this week's episode, Jose, and I thought it was really good.
hmmmm, of course, we all know I am always right, so it must be good.

Spar...was too sure of himself. Didn't want to listen to his trainer. Needed to be brought down a peg or two and will bring himself up from the bottom. It's what will get all of the masses to like him and the Imperials to despise him. Not a bad episode yet, imo.

Good grief. Can't SOMETHING on this site be politics-free? <groan>?

Spartacus is great eye candy. Very stunning production. But it pales in comparison to HBO's Rome. I don't think I'll ever get used to the Scottish Caprian in Spartacus. I keep expecting him to say: "If it's not Etruscan, its crap!"
In Rome, they were extremely careful with dialect and accents. The aristos spoke the King's English. The plebes spoke cockney. Caesar's Goth valet had a German accent. And what they did with the stories -filling actual historical gaps with fiction - was masterful. They were also very careful with the accuracy of the sets, the technology, and the culture. Spartacus? Not so much. It's still good. But it's not great.

I don't get Starz. How does this compare to 300 or Gladiator?
