Very weak quotes indeed!!Mehn the dialogues in Spartacus are out of this world.

@ obi1kebobi
Shey na award go yield profit to the producers of Spartacus, abi u tink say na only Spartacus Starz get? There is the new DaVinci Demons and others that have won and will win them awards. Mumu. Spartacus is a class of its own and I wish more like it will be made, something like Vlad - The Legend, let them do something on eastern Europe, rather than the new Vikings which I'm yet to embrace at episode 3 going.

@THOSE BASING THEIR ARGUMENT ON IMDB RATINGS:
Ofcourse any fantasy/magic film/series will sell more than other genre so far it can keep the minds of the unimaginative fired.

Dan_de_Numeruno: For those people picking Spartacus over Game of Thrones, answer me this;

If Spartacus is so great, then how come it hasn't won a single international award.
.
Open your convoluted minds and watch Game of Thrones again and appreciate the quality of high budget production.

dypo: Let me just give a few quotes on GOT.

Cersei: "When you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die"
Syrio: "What do we say to the God of death" Arya: "Not today"
Eddard: "It is only when we are afraid that we can truly be brave"
Aemon: "Many good men have made bad kings, and some bad men have been good kings"
Anonymous: "Horse does not mate with sheep" Danaerys: "Dragon feasts on horse and sheep alike"

And here's one on the sigils of the seven kingdoms of Westeros
Lannister (Lion): Hear me roar
Stark (Direwolf): Winter is coming
Greyjoy (Kraken): We do not sow!
Baratheon (Stag): Ours is the fury
Tully (Trout): Family, duty, honor
Arryn (Falcon): As high as honor
Targaeyan (Dragon): Fire and Blood


You seriously can't compare both on basis of depth in the dialogue or plot.

ITbomb:
You seem to me as someone who has been brainwashed by the western media. You have lost your unique individuality and now waiting for the media to make opinion for u based on budget , awards, high profile cast.
Instead of looking at the depth of the storyline and make your own opinion whether it is good or bad.
.
Let me ask you based on ur position, why is Mazi's NYSC episode [abi na drama u call am] not on the Frontpage in spite of the huge followership.
Possible Answer: Because , even though the storyline is epic , the content would not drag award with Ishilove's Iyawo Nylon pant Bag on the Frontpage

Obi1kenobi:

Look at this hare-brained cretin. I be mumu because I don't agree with your clueless preference? Which series do Starz have that win these awards? GOT is more successful in every way imaginable than Spartacus is, even excluding awards. Awards from respected peers and reviewers validate the quality of your product. Go and tell Nobel, Pulitzer, Olympic, Grammy, Oscar or Emmy winners that awards mean nothing. What an ìdíöt. So your deluded opinion should be taken above seasoned professionals in the industry that award the best artistic products just because your deluded fangirl self says so?

Aphrodite4: How many of you here watched Game of Thrones or Spartacus LEGALLY??

dypo: More quotes from GOT

“Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.”
"Every flight begins with a fall"
“I swear to you, sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one.”
"So much for vows. Words are wind, and the wind escaping from his mouth is no different from the one escaping from his bottom"
"Fear cuts deeper than swords"
“A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”
“In this world, only winter is certain”
“If I look back I am lost.”

montelik: Spartacus dialogue is at times funny but mostly corny/cheesy. Its like whomever writes it is trying to mix Okotie style speaking and Shakespearean language, punctuated with as much needless profanity as possible. There were times when some one like Batiatus is speaking and I wonder whether I am watching a real show or some parody film. It is needlessly over the top. It was nice that they toned in down in the later seasons as it was thoroughly distracting.

coogar:
"remove self from fücking sight" is as brilliant as anything shakespeare wrote. it's what it is!

3kay945:

still thrash to me..

coogar:

spartacus has more quality dialogue than GOT!
even the most ardent fan of GOT would confess to that - the only good conversationalist on GOT that would walk into a spartacus set is the imp...besides, GOT's scripting and editing is flawed. too many characters too and it's often like a chaotic classroom when the teacher is not present!

the lines on spartacus are just too ill for the average mind - they literally recreated how english language should be spoken. "remove self from fücking sight" is as brilliant as anything shakespeare wrote. it's what it is - look beyond the nüdity and the gore and right before you is the most beautiful story ever told on television!

ijebabe:

Yeshua!!

Obi1kenobi: You've got to laugh at these Spartacus fans. They obviously know little about what makes a great series. Some even think it shows class and maturity to follow Spartacus. That's a laughable claim considering Spartacus is the most juvenile, easiest, cheapest thrill to follow if you don't wanna engage your intellect watching more stimulating series like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Homeland etc. There is a reason why Spartacus, in 4 years of production, has never won a single Emmy or Golden Globe award in any category of recognition - be it for acting, casting, direction, production, cinematography, script writing, costuming etc. Not even ONE single big award.

Go to the site for Metacritic - a review site that aggregates critical reviews and ratings from the elite media houses like Time, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Guardian, Telegraph etc - and see which respectable reviewers rate Spartacus highly. Go to IMDB's audience review site and see who rates Spartacus among the elite of tv series. Spartacus is a bottom feeder of a series. It's like watching WWE wrestling and comparing it to more credible, respected sports. Once again, if you think Spartacus is that amazing, why doesn't it get the respect and recognition of it's peers, reviewers and awarders in the industry?

Game of Thrones is a great series. Spartacus is just barely decent entertainment. They are not in the same class AT ALL.

Shollypopz:
Shut up our distasteful mouth.....go back to watching papa ajasco and GTFOH!

why this? is it because I thrash ur GOT
