I have to agree, LL looks pretty good nekkid.  I think there is a threshhold to getting into the show. The first episode has the same "can't decide between cartoon and epic movie" that the movie 300 had and I didn't care for it.  The second episode was sort of flat.  With the Third episode it really starts to get good.  My qualifiers would be that it's sort of a Gladiator rip-off, it's wear-your-face-for-a-mask violent and very sexually explicit.  The acting is actually quiet good, but I probably won't watch it with my Mom.  My mother in law, however, did get hooked after she complained through episode three folding a basket of laundry whilst I fed the baby and watched gladiators carving each other up.  If my qualifiers are potentially good qualities for you as they are for me, then you will enjoy it.   I am glad I kept watching, its a good one.

I'm addicted to it. Very solid twists in the story lines. It's like a mix of Gladiator/300/Sin City, but it's been more Gladiator the last few episodes (which it should be obviously). It's very good though.

Guilty: I'm also a Lucy Lawless fan from Xena and Battlestar Galactica, so it's sweet to see her get another juicy role.

The series is on hold though because the star Andy Whitfield has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is scheduled to begin treatment immediately. That news came out 2 weeks ago.

Season one is already in the can, so there are four more episodes before they run out for the year.  They are delaying start of season two.  Whitfield should be fine.

What else has Whitfield been in?  Well I'm not big on new shows but this is first one since the Dukes of Hazzard that I can't wait for the next one :).

Lol 25 years to be "into" another series since Dukes of Hazzard... :p

You don't hear that every day!

Yeah I knew season one was already completed Paul. They were supposed to start working on season two in April. So season two should be delayed some.

I had set Spartacus to record on my DVR when it started airing but never got around to watching it. Well finally last night while cooking dinner I had the TV turned on an Episode 'W' was on and I said what the hell I'll watch a little bit.

Absolutely unbelievable! I think this is the raunchiest series I've ever seen or heard. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears as to what I was hearing!

I ain't complaining. The women are hot and wild! That friggin' slave girl brunette that was throwing herself at Sparatucus is a bombshell!

Needless to say I deleted all my soft porn on my DVR to make room for more Spartacus!

Heh, it is some pretty crude stuff they say in there. It kind of reminds me of the guys in my vent busting on each other, since we're a crude bunch. If you just caught the last episode, then you got one of the toned down eps (fight-wise).

You're not the Ultima that used to have the big vendor setup on GL are you?

That was the most soft-porn episode U. Some of them have been full go violence with no "raunch", but most have been a mix with equal parts face-breaking and ugly bumping.

It was good and I think I will watch the whole series now. The cinematography looked good and the dialogue was good. I have to admit I was blindsided even though they made it a point to declare "Viewer Discretion is advised".

I'll watch it again just to catch another glimpse of that slave girl. I'm gonna have to IMDB her and find out who she is! I'm a fan. 8)

But it looked like Sparatcus was gearing up to face someone in the arena and it looked to be a good match up. I give it a thumbs up so far.

Not me Wilk! Never made it over to GL even though I've done some inter shard travelling. I consider myself from Sonoma even though I don't play on that shard anymore Sonoma  that is where I have the best memories of UO. It's interesting how each shard has it's own unique feel I would like to have made it over to GL to see what it's like but never made the journey.
