       The first episode aired last night. And it wasn't too bad, it won't be   
   hard to get into the story.   
           There was a lot of CGI blood and dismemberment - arms, legs and   
   heads. Sometimes the blood was overdone - a guy got stabbed in the back with   
   a trident and a bucket of blood filled the screen.   
           Lots of bare breasts.    : - D   
           But only one instance of FFFN (full female frontal nudity). It was   
   the actress Viva Bianca (she plays Ilithyia, the wife of Claudius Glaber   
   (Craig Parker, who was Bellerophon in "To Helicon and Back") ).   
           The other main character who showed her breasts was Erin Cummings   
   ( Spartacus' wife). Erin also has been in Bitch Slap, Nip/Tuck, Dollhouse,   
   and a few other shows.   
           The episode ran 55 minutes but Lucy didn't show up until 40 minutes.   
   But they had to show how Spartacus got captured.   
           The story in a nutshell --   
           Glaber was trying to get Spartacus and his village to join with the   
   Romans to fight another tribe. They agreed, but were mostly fodder.  The   
   evil tribe was heading toward Spartacus' village, but Glaber wanted them to   
   attack another Roman general and his army (each general had his own army   
   loyal to him) to further Glaber's ambition. They refused and beat up Glaber   
   and left to protect their village.   
           Spartacus found his wife  (although the village was burned to the   
   ground) and they had a good night together (Spartacus' naked butt was shown   
   a few times as he was humping Sura, and we got to see her very nice   
   breasts.) The next morning, Glaber was there and Sura was enslaved and   
   Spartacus was to be executed in an arena. He ended up defeating four   
   gladiators and was to be sent to the gladiatorial school owned by (Lucy's)   
   husband (that comes next week).   
           The nude scene(s) of Lucy will be sometime in the next few episodes   
   since it wasn't in this one. It was nice that Lucy wasn't forced to use an   
   American accent. She didn't have much to do in this episode, but I'm sure   
   more of her story will develop as the episodes unfold.   
           According to IMDb, out of 13 episodes, Lucy will only be in six of   
   them.  Sura will be in six of them, and curiously, Spartacis is only slated   
   for six.  I'm sure this has to be a mistake since he is the focus of the   
   series.   
           The show airs Friday and Sunday nights. Most likely the Sunday   
   airing is a rerun since I doubt they will show new eps on both nights.
