Don't remember him. Don't even remember Agron having that hair. Um, yeah, Peter Mensah lacks charisma. This is the guy that was cast based on his one scene in 300. What was that excuse about Agron's memorability in five episodes of B&S? And yeah, his performance as a raging slave is totally the same as his calm, not-even-raging-after-getting-impaled-twice character in Jason X. |

I didn't even start liking Agron till Vengeance? And you don't have to be the most developed character to be likeable (Brienne from Game of Thrones anyone? I love her, but that series does have more developed characters :P) Well, there's also people out there who think Craig Parker is charismatic and enjoyable as Glaber. Both basically felt like watching paint dry to me, personally. And assuming the problem isn't with bland writing (which is possible even WITH a character arc, RE: Mira), then it's with the actor. Because I'm bored whenever he comes on screen. I also don't totally trust the casting department, because these ARE the same people that gave us Craig Parker, Seppia and Naevia 2, all of whom gave unquestionably awful performances. As for what makes Agron so memorable, maybe the fact I remember him and can't even remember Oenamaus having underground fights because he bored me so much? ![]() Anyways, I wouldn't put either as the most developed character. That honor goes to Lucretia. She's a totally different person from GOTA Ep 1 to her final episode. So much growth, development, and an excellent performance from Lawless.

Which is why Jaime is your favorite. And all three were either quickly dispatched, kept around because they were too important to the story, or villainized because the audience hated them. Oenamaus, on the other hand, was Spoiler: click to toggle Agron being memorable is why he's memorable? I get the impression based on your heart-swooning avatar and Raven's comments that the actor is really, really good looking. And you didn't like him until he ditched the B&S ugly hair. Not saying anything, but.. *second most developed character |

And hey! Lucretia's my fav, works out perfectly. I only brought up Brienne because she's your 2nd fav and there's way more developed characters. Agron is beloved by fans too. And Gannicus is arguably THE most popular character of the series I do understand what you like about Oenamaus, the concepts behind him are interesting, but he doesn't have that vibrant personality I can connect to. And I stand by the actor being as interesting as a plank of wood. I just feel myself wanting to watch a more interesting character when he's on screen. Lol. I don't really like him on one anyways. In 2 and beyond I enjoyed his friendship with Nasir, the fact he's Spartacus' closest friend, and watching him develop as the show went on (Overly aggressive to a reliable friend and a competent leader) Plus, he's just a genuinely likeable and sympathetic person. Not every character I like needs to have some big, in-depth arc. I connected with his personality and found him easy to root for. Not you trying the looks card AGAIN after IMDB established otherwise. But yes, he's hot. Not why I like him. I've disliked plenty of hot characters too (for example, Captain America)No, most developed. She's grown more than any other character on the show. She also has an engaging personality and actress to go with said arcs and growth. |

It might be Arya after that laugh scene. As for Brienne, considering she and Jaime are the most developed characters of S3, it's not that crazy listing her second after just finishing that season. I get Gannicus. I'd probably rank him higher if I didn't watch the prequel series last (therefor, I didn't get half of his scenes in 2/3. Also why I insisted you watch it in production order). As for Agron fans, seems to be mostly girls who think hes gorgeous and write his name with hearts. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442449/board/nest/213263918 ...yeah. He's Spartacus' closest friend, while Oenamaus is your favorite lead's closest friend, and I don't remember Broody Face ever losing his aggressiveness. Not saying it's JUST looks (he does have your crying brother fetish), but his looks boost him way higher than he'd be if he were played by Jarad Padalecki. I mean, putting him over Spartacus?! **Oenamaus, second most developed character |
