Did you hear that they're are starting production on the pre-show mini-series? And that Andy will make an appearance in the mini? So glad he's doing well and that we'll get something to tied us over before S2 can officially begin, once Andy is all better.
Yeah it's due to the illness, I don't know the details I'd like to see it focus on the Ludus (Baty, Lucretia, Doctore, Crixus) and how they all came to be there and the state that it's in before Spartacus' story starts.
Off course nothing is complete without a little focus on Illythia and hopefully some Glaber.
I understand the pre show mini series is about the rise of the house of Batiatus. Any opportunity to hear Batiatus say "By Jupiter's cock" some more has potential to be interesting. That said, yeah I'm not convinced it will be as good as season 1. Nor am I convinced season 2 when it roles around can be as good as 1.
The problem with the prequel is the show sort of makes Batiatus likable but also thoroughly detestable. So if he is the focus, is he the hero? I know we will have other champions but they don't get to take him down... I'm not sure how emotionally satisfying it will be to be all around Batiatus. That said he's a cool character and I can see rooting for him to build his little empire.
Oh this show will eat you as a shipper that is for sure. Even if you don't ship them, it's best not to get overly attached to individual characters or happy endings. The catch phrase is "kill them all" for a reason.
I don't think you need feel any more obligated to try Spartacus than I need feel obligated to check out True Blood. But I should probably check out True Blood.

We shall see, I guess.
