great episode! and gannicus really steals the show...
but as a native german speaker i laughed really hard every time the agrons spoke german, i had to read the english subs to understand a language i use every day
and i know thats not really relevant, cause the show is not that historic accurate, but the german they spoke also sounded much to modern. i would guess the language sounded a lot different back then...but whatever...
and ouch at the face slice...

Lol I feel the same whenever I hear farsi. They most likely do use a modern/stylized version of non-English languages though just for the sake of consistency.great episode! and gannicus really steals the show...

I will say that the line "my cock grows hard at the thought " still sounds awesome when transcribed.

"my cock grows hard at the thought " was a great line, but also the one the to modern language showed most.
He says something like "allein bei dem Gedanken daran geht mir schon einer ab", which isn't a bad translation per se, but sounds like something a german teenager would say.
But as I said it doesn't really bother me, it's just funny

I'm pretty sure nobody said "fuck" back then either.
Also, the Romans thought a large penis was the sign that you're a savage animal or barbarian, something they may have adopted from the Greeks, which are well known for making heroic naked statues with small penises. In this show they seem to value large cocks, with Batiatus saying that he would give Spartacus a statue with a giant cock, more in line with modern pop culture than Roman culture. Also everyone hated circumcision back then, it was the sign of a Jew. I think they showed Crixus circumcised in Season 1 but I can't recall since it was a brief scene.

Ya but I doubt they're gonna cgi an uncircumcised dick onto Crixus just for historical accuracy. Actually, you know what. Im going to stop right there before this turns into another circumcision thread lol!

Two questions.
1. How did Gannicus get on top of that wagon?
2. Did Glaber finish?

They actually used a prosthetic penis for the horse cock character in Season 1. There was an interview where they mentioned some of the men used prosthetic penises but didn't specify which ones. Horse cock would be the logical answer.

he jumped!
I think in the movie Y Tu Mama Tambien they had to put a prosthetic penis on one of the actors because the character was supposed to be cut (or uncut?) because it had something to do with his socioeconomic status. I'm just saying, it can be done.

- 'Spartacus' casts Julius Caesar for season 3
EW.com said:Spartacus will face some Roman legends in season three.
Starz and Spartacus producers have just cast actors to play famed leader Julius Caesar and Marcus Crassus in the hit show. EW has learned exclusively that Aussie TV actor Todd Lasance (Crownies) has been cast as a young Caesar,who will begin his ascent toward ruling the empire. Hell use his deadly intelligence and skill with a sword to try and crush the slave rebellion.
Brit TV actor Simon Merrells (The Wolfman, Family Affair) will play Crassus,the richest man in Rome, who craves the power and respect that would come from defeating Spartacus.
Interesting...
Since the show's been such a critical success you'd think they'd try to get more seasons out of it before introducing Crassus, as...well, you all know...

Well the cat's fully out of the bag now. Should be interesting

Oh wow the OG Ceasar in Spartacus
I was going to ask you if space Marc Anthony was standing next to space Ceasar, but I found the answer once I looked at the file name. Guess I have to see John Carter sooner or later now.
It's like a Rome reunion almost!

I don't think they can keep his arc going for too long. Same with Batiatus: great villain but can't overstay his welcome.

Well the arena is already gone so if they actually let Glaber bite it then i could see it being a Rome thing also

Interesting news. A while back I remember DeKnight saying that he felt like 5 seasons would be perfect for the show, and knowing how popular this show is, I can't imagine him not getting what he wants. (unless Starz wants to milk the show for as long as possible) I'm guessing Crassus either won't be the big bad of season 3, or he'll be the big bad for the rest of the series...?
Horse cock was fake? Makes me feel a little better about myself...

holy shit holy shit
Mark Antony and Caesar? what movie is that?
edit: answered already
damn I need to see John Carter
nice to hear Caesar and Crassus join in season 3, we will see how the rebels handle some roman gods ^^
rather poorly
That would be awesome. Im wondering how accurately will they portrait Crassus and Pompey. Those two had very big influence in the fall of Roman Republic and rise of Roman Empire.
Pointless with HBO's Rome out there.
I think Varinius will be the big bad next season, with Ceasar and Crassus in the background being setup for future seasons.
After Glaber, it was Varinius who stepped up to the plate next.
Pretty much. They could explore so many other things that haven't been done yet. It would be a shame to try and contend with Rome when they could do their own thing.
We just did.Gods of the Arena
Well this one doesn't have much of him in it either...at least anything that's meaningful.

Space Caesar is also acceptable
So I basically have to watch John Carter now?

Historical spoilers:
Historically I remember reading that they never actually found Spartacus's body. Could lead to something in the show? It would be a limited angle to go down, and I would expect it to be something that lasts an episode rather than a season, but it could be interesting seeing the aftermath of the murders.
Okay, I started to watch ep 7 and Agron and the slave dude speaking "German". Lolwut. I'm German and at first I didn't realize he started speaking German. Should've went the extra mile and have them speak a Germanic root language, if the actors can't pronounce Modern German halfway naturally. I mean, it's over a thousands years early for the modern language, anyway.
I know I'm in a minority, but it really took me out of it :/
Edit: Lol at Glaber having his totally unsuspicious and discrete goon squad full of outsiders, foreigners and half-beasts in plain sight while talking about Spartacus' mongrel horde.
