I can't believe they did that. If anyone saw tonight's episode you have to be just beside yourself at how that ended. I **** hate this show now....

I saw tonight's show. Wow that was tough! I wish that had not happened - just like I wished that Spartacus's reunion with his wife hadn't turned out that way.

I really love this show. You really never know what will happen next.

It should be called Spartacus: Blood, Sand and Genitalia Anyway, it's better than I thought it would be.

In a sad news:

Production has been halted on the Sam Raimi-produced show while heading into its sophomore season, due to star Andy Whitfield being diagnosed with cancer. Whitfield has been diagnosed with early-stage Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and will begin undergoing treatment immediately. With the first season of Spartacus completed, production will be delayed on the second season

Wentworth Miller to replace Andy Whitfield in ‘Spartacus: Blood And Sand’

Former Prison Break star Wentworth Miller is in talks to replace cancer-stricken Andy Whitfield in Spartacus: Blood And Sand accordingn to WENN.

Whitfield was originally set to return for the delayed second series after doctors gave him the all-clear in June, however he was forced to quit the hit show in September after learning his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma had returned.

There were reports that Spartacus: Blood And Sand would be cancelled and producers would just proceed with the prequel series, but according to Entertainment Weekly, they are now planning to recast the lead role of gladiator slave Spartacus and it looks like Miller is the man they wnat for the job.

How about season 2?

How about season 2?

There is now a mini-series and prequel to the first season called Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

Season 2 will be around 2012.

Thanks for clearing that up, I obviously knew it was a prequel but I didn't know if they were still doing season 2 with the replacement issue.  Good to know.

Gods of the Arena is pretty much the same thing as Blood and Sand, and I love every minute of it.
