Maybe I've had to many drinks tonight, but I read this post 3 times and I still don't understand wtf he is saying. Is this in English?
You need a Nemesis1-to-English dictionary to understand.

Mine's only a 1st edition so it didn't include the word "portrade," but I believe that translates to "portrayed" in the Queen's english, and "were" actually equals "where."

Back OT, regardless of the acting I love this series. It's raw, raunchy, and compelling. All the backstabbing and machinations are great. The prequel was way too short at 6 episodes. Need more...with less penis though.

Hmm

English to German:
Meine Frau ließ mich eine Nacht aufpassen. Ist war Ihr Völkerverstand. Das violance war reales Leben während der Zeit und Pornografie ist nur Pornografie zu einem kranken Verstand als portrade. Sein die Weise war sie, ich fernsieht sehr kleines. Sein zum Ablenken für einen gesunden Verstand.

German to French:
Ma femme a pu être faite attention moi une nuit. Était votre entendement de peuple est. Le violance n'était une vie vraie pendant le temps et la pornographie est qu'une pornographie à un entendement malade comme portrade. Son la manière était elle, moi regarde la télévision beaucoup petit. Son détourner pour un entendement sain.

French to English:
My wife could be made attention me one night. Was your understanding of people is. The violance n' was a true life during time and the pornography is qu' a pornography with a sick understanding like portrade. Its manner was it, me looks at television much small. Its to divert for a healthy understanding.

LMAO. How the hell could you know that you haven't missed a thing when you haven't seen what you've missed?

No kidding. The Universe, Through the Wormhole w/ Morgan Freeman, etc. There are tons of amazingly wonderful things on the BoobTube.

Ilithyia was full frontal nude on the 1st episode.

but in a later episode in the bath scene w/the boy, she disrobes everything except something that covers her bush and doesnt take it off?!

who cares... a little bit of cover here and there infact makes it more sexy!! moreover you forget the long hot steamy sex scene with Spartacus with masks on... I don't think anything really matters after that.

Bumping this thread because I watched the first episode The Red Serpent for the first time tonight. Honestly, I think there needs to be more television series like this. Yes, it's violent and (softcore) pornographic, but so what? I'm an adult who doesn't plan to show it to kids, so I don't give a fuck about that... It was enjoyable and pretty well done, so I plan to watch the other episodes in the season, and then I'll look at the series Rome.

I think there needs to be more available to watch on tv that isn't dumbed down so that overly prudish, moralizing people will be happy.

Welcome to the club :biggrin: glad you liked it. Keep watching, you will like it even more, it will slow down a bit in the next 3 - 4 episodes but stick around, it will get much better.

I am desperately waiting for the next season! its in development...

EDIT: Watched "S2" (i.e. the prequel) prior to watching S1.

Yeah, I watched the first episode of Gods of the Arena (season 2) before watching Blood and Sand (season 1), which actually spoiled the ending to season 1 :(.

EDIT:

I knew it was a prequel, so I assumed it would stay in the past. Bad assumption.

What? Violent? The gore is comical in this series, definitely not gorey.

It's a great series.

Watch S1 before S2. Too bad they took S1 off Netflix.

I watched this a couple weeks back. I really enjoyed it. Yea, it's a bit over the top and there are tits, but it was a pretty well told story and reasonably entertaining with enough intrigue. I haven't watched the prequel series, though I probably will soon.

Looking forward to see what they try for Season 2.

Final thought: it's nothing like rome and it really isn't trying to be. Rome was unlike anything else really on TV and it makes sense that not much else can be like it (not without trucks of cash anyway).
