The episode was fine, just ok.

I agree with the above poster, Batiatus is very badly missed

I realy like the actor who plays the Roman Predor [spelling?], something very forceful and menacing about him and his voice

The guy playing the praetor is Craig Parker and I agree he is excellent. He played a bad guy in legend of the seeker aswell and was just as menacing. Maybe it's just his thing.

I just watched the season premiere. Decent episode. I am worried what they are going to do with the sets if they end up chasing Naevia for long. "open countryside" is hard to film on and so far the series has used closed sets and green screen alot. I can't see them filming in a field, can you?

I enjoyed the ep but the switch of actor is so fecking distracting. :mad: In every scene it just sticks out like a sore thumb and I have that awful feeling that it won't go away after a few eps. Obviously they can't do anything about poor Andy Whitfield and what happened to him......but I just can't see anyone else in the role now.

I also think they badly miss John Hannah. He had a certain class or gravitas if you will excuse the pun. I realise that they felt they had to kill him off but like Andy, it just isn't the same show without him. Personally, I feel they could've cut Lucy Lawless and it wouldn't have been as noticable.

On a side note, the actress who plays Ilithyia has lost an awful lot of weight. I don't normally notice stuff like this but her face looks very gaunt compared to the first season. Obviously a couple years have passed since filming but she looked much better before.

Grand enough episode but as some others have said Batiatus is sorely missed; just isnt the same without him. As for the new guy - yeah hes not Andy but he seemed pretty good in the role and having him there didnt bother me as much as the lack of John Hannah.

If I were writing the show I would actually bring Gannicus and Crixcus more to the front in terms of screen time and story. Take the attention off the new guy.

I think he'll be grand, I think Andy had more persona or something but I'd say given a few weeks he'll have the character made his own.

Although obviously not as Tragic but a similar thing happened with Stargate SG-1 with with the characters changing actors between the film and
TV Show. It took a little to get used too but you did get used to it.

Was a good episode , the opening was very well done but sadly it went downhill from there. Hopefully it gets better as the story develops , surprised to see lucretia back but in a good way!

The new Spartacus looks very similar to the original actor. Seems a bit slow so far but i guess its just the first episode.
