    Starz Network Comment on Andy Whitfield:
    “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield. We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in 'Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life. Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans.”

    Lucy Lawless in the poster
    But wasn't she killed in the last episode of Blood and Sand? I thought she was gone from the series

    Or did I get it wrong and she was just wounded, I know she was stabbed in the womb, I just figured she died

    Question: Please get us some news on Spartacus: Vengeance. You have been way to quiet about this show! —Seena
    Ausiello: Well, since I just received (and screened) the first two episodes (airing Jan. 27 and Feb. 3), right now seems like a perfect time for me to break my silence, don’t you think? Now then, I’ll admit it was bittersweet diving back into the action so soon after Andy Whitfield’s death. And, as strong a first impression as his successor, Liam McIntyre, makes, Andy’s spirit loomed large for me throughout the first episode. How could I — or anyone — watch Spartacus 2 without thinking about Spartacus 1? But by Episode 2, I was fully immersed in what was going on on-screen. So much so that I can say — and happily, I might add — that both the character and the show remain in top form. In fact, the series continues to push the envelope where blood and sex are concerned. (The gauntlet’s been thrown, True Blood.) Within the first two episodes, there’s an orgy as well as some of the most brutal slayings ever. (Seriously — Lorena Bobbit would be proud.) There’s also a heartbreaking death that is preceded by an even more heartbreaking last wish. Oh, and as those promos made pretty clear, Lucretia’s alive and she’s bats#*! crazy!

    I've said this before, McIntyre seems to be playing this in a "Rome" style, slightly hammy and a bit OTT wheras Whitfield was a natural.

    He had a sense of sadness about him, you felt empathy for the character....he also had compassion for others, when Sura died in his arms....i felt like crying, it was such a powerful scene :(



    I know i'm prejudging Mcintyre here, but he strikes me more of a method actor, still...Spartacus for me was never about one man or actor, there are tons of interesting characters to keep the show going regardless.

    Ashur........... :D

    I wasnt even a fan of Whitfield to begin with, I never thought he was right for the part. But because he created the character it will be interesting to see whether this new guy will be a cheap imitation or a different character.

    So far from the little I have seen he looks to be a lookalike replacement to do a good job playing Whitfield's Spartacus rather than a new Spartacus.

    Have to give the man a chance though so I wont be too judgemental when watching the new series.
