I felt EXACTLY the same way. Big fan of the movie and historical figure, then the show turned him into Leonidas from 300. That said, it does move away from that and he starts to act like Kirk's Spartacus. The show is also surprisingly closer to the real story than the movie. |

Which do you prefer? Also, which actor on the show was the better Spartacus? |

There are things I prefer in each. I like the heroes more in the movie, and I like the villains more in the show. I like the movie's allegories for it's time, and I like the show's trueness to the real story. I'll give it to the movie for the big Hollywood epic style. The performances are pretty equal. Aside from looks I almost forgot I was watching a different guy. |

Interesting that they did stick to the actual story. But I'm still not sure I could bring myself to watch it after that Pilot. It may just be the style of it is not up my alley, but the idea of sitting down and watching all the seasons and all doesn't interest me at all. Which is really too bad because it's not that the idea of turning Spartacus into a TV series is a bad idea. In fact, I think it was a great idea. I guess the show was just not made for me. LOL |

Just finished Episode 9. Definitely the best episode so far. Favorite characters are Batiatus, Illythia, and Lucretia. Viva's acting is improving (or maybe I'm just getting used to it?), but I'm still not big on her performance. That said, Illythia's writing is good enough to make up for it. John Hannah is excellent. Lucy is good. Biggest issue is that a lot of the heroes just aren't that interesting, at least IMO |

Definitely one of the saddest moments. And aww, Batiatus is gold. "Once again the gods spread the cheeks and ram cock in fucking ass!" |

LOVE Batiatus as well <3 And IA, he is. 2nd fav, and it's very close I just love how evil and manipulative Illythia is! And how she's still sympathetic. |
