I've been watching Spartacus hoping it would grab me. I think it looks chea=
p and silly visually and the slow-mo gore makes me laugh at times. Sam Peck=
inpah did that so much better. I do kind of like that the character of Spar=
tacus is being given room to grow as the series moves along, but overall th=
e series has been a disappointment for me so far. Starz must like the show =
though because they renewed it for a second season before the first episode=
 aired.
