Better you said less.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is not, I repeat, is not Season 2 but a prequel to Spartacus Blood and Sand. It was used to tell us the events that happened before the season 1. Vengeance is the original Season 2 of Spartacus. Just type spartacus season 2 in Google search and tell me if it is Vengeance or Gods of the Arena you will get as season 2.

In your words : Need I say more?

Dan_de_Numeruno:

Nope. Technically it will wrong to do so. Simply refer to them either as drama - because that it what they are, or soaps rather than calling them movies.

And an episode of a drama never exceeds 2 hours. Whenever it does so, it will cease being a drama.

Dan_de_Numeruno:
You can do all the rationalizing in the world you all can, but the fact still remains that it came out the subsequent year after the first season. And as far as I'm concerned that makes it the second season. C'est fini.

Dan_de_Numeruno:

We are talking about season 2 and this one is talking about season 3. Now who looks like the fool. Continue shaking your head till you fell inside gutter.

coogar:

what's wrong with you people and your reluctance to take corrections? vengeance is season 2 - they did it to keep the fans going when andy died......without andy's death, there wouldn't have been on gods of the arena!

mr.drizzy:
help me ask d boy oh.he didnt even visit google.just talking bluntly

boron10:
You're such a bore

Dan_de_Numeruno: Back to the topic, Game of thrones is the series to watch. Spartacus will never, and I repeat never touch it's magnificence.

Spartacus is low rent and crass, while Game of thrones is more complicated. A bit crass but also glorious. Hallelujah!

Dan_de_Numeruno:
You never answered my previous question. How do you then classify the seasonless Gods of the Arena. If you give me a satisfactory answer, I will hold my peace and accept correction.

bolakale30: the gods yet favour spartacus... spartacus will send GOT to the afterlife.... why the comparison sef ? jupiter's fucking c.0.ck

coogar:

does this not have to do with the respective stories they have based the TV series on? who cares about what budget or how complicated a show is?

coogar:
it's a mini-series.
gods of the arena have about 5-6 episodes(shorter than blood/sand, vengeance and war of the damned). it was quickly put together and developed to fill the void. the fans had to be kept happy!!

uj_sizzle: @Topic,
I'll take Game of Thrones any day. Spartacus is too extreme(both visuals and words) and i can't say I've learnt anything worthwhile from it. Couldn't even go past the first season.
GOT on the other hand is quite educative, has viewers appeal, creative in the craziest way.

My favourite quote is one from the Imp to Jon Snow:
Never forget who you are, the rest of the world will not; wear it like an armour, and it can never be used to hurt you

Dan_de_Numeruno:
I do, thank you very much. Any time I wanna watch something, either a drama or movie, I habitually wikipedied the budget just to see if it's worth my time. If it does, then expect fire works. If it doesn't expect a lot of s.ex scences and exaggerated violence.

Why do they do this? Simple: They want to attract audience to their show at all cost. Spartacus is a typical example...no offence.

I know it's a min-series, but where does it stands actually. Does it stand alone on it's own, or was it attached to another season?

Darray: Crassus:''Greed is, but a word the jealous inflicted on the ambitious''. Can u beat that?

coogar:

it seems you don't know how rome was in those days? all the things they have showed you were the things that happened in that era. watch rome season 1 and 2 and see if there's any difference. little did you know spartacus was actually based on a true story.....

coogar: it's a stand alone....
they worked out something for the fans and they went back to develop stories about how some of the characters in season 1 came to be. without andy's death, they wouldn't have made gods of the arena!

Dan_de_Numeruno:

If it's not season 2, how do you classify it then?

coogar:

Dan_de_Numeruno:
I watched Rome all right. But the level of nudity in Rome is no where as extreme as that of Spartacus. And violence in Rome is almost non-existent...at least not up to Spartacus caliber.

Anyways, brains behind the series are using the immoral history of Roman empire to lure audience to their show with those tempting graphics on offer.

bknight:

Bro dat line caught me, I had to pause it there to write dat line. Verbatim goes thus:
"Greed is but a word the jealous man inflicts upon the ambitious"

Crassus goes on, thus:
"Each believes himself a hero, the other a villain. Only history will tell which one of them is wrong"

50calibre:

I'm the famous words of Quintus Lentulus Batiatus. " Once again the gods spread the cheeks to ram co*k in f*ckingg a*sss"

Doctore - "you attack as you would a man, theokeles is beyond flesh, beyond blood and bones, he is the shadow that precedes death. Allow him to fall upon you alone and you are dead"

DanoskyZ:
Point of correction, Andy wasn't dead yet when God's of the Arena was released. I agree that it is not a full season on it's own but it was put up when Andy took ill after being diagnosed of cancer. He later died in september 2011, 7 months after the premiere of Gods of the Arena, and while d production of The Vengeance had started already.

The opportunity to produce Gods of the Arena emerged when the second season of Spartacus was halted while lead actor Andy Whitfield battled Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
