Lucy Lawless, tits out and banged senseless. Need I say more?

Yes? Ok, lots of 300 style action and gore too. :p

I think i said this in general, or was i talking about LotSeeker, that if if has sexual innuendo(or indeed sex), leather glad ladies, fighting, jokes and had that Raimi pattern to it, it's just what the doctor ordered, nothing mroe, nothing less.

Xena, Hercules etc need a certain mindset to watch, if you take it serious, you're in for trouble.

Well, got around to first;

Not as bad as people make it sound. 300 the series style wise, more serious then Xena etc. If they cut the gore and sex back a bit, it had plenty of potential.

Dramatic, corny, overkill?...deffo, but that's what these shows are about, the testie tickling cornius maximus :D

ON episode 5 now, I have to say, while not brilliant, it is getting better. It's grown on me, and I find myself wanting more to see how it develops.

If you want historical accuracy then it is not for you, but for a fun series that rips off elements of style from 300, then this is great.

Definately improving, the actors are looking more at ease now and some of the delivery is better. The story itself is good fun though.

Also Sam Raimi's influence is very apparent, especially with the decapitation in ep 5.

Deffo getting better on each episode.

The blood is mroe subtle, the sexuality is more innuendo(well...apart from certain -parts-) and 5th was excellent all round.

It's also moving away from the so called loose writing of xena(etc) and is now moving a bit more towards likes of BSG and SGU, without moving completely into the drama section.

Well balanced, not accurate, but it would ruin it i think.

Mrs J hadn't seen any of the show until that scene was on and she happened to walk past my desk... suffice to say she thought I was watching porn despite my protestations 'but the bloke out of the Mummy is in it!!!' :D

Ahhh shit, poor guy. Hope he pulls through - scary to think someone who looks so obviously fit and healthy can get struck down.

Oh and episode 7 was awesome, but the copies of 8 and 9 early releases are not worth watching, awful quality. Wait for the proper rips to be available.

The shwo does really push some boundaries, but somehow it works without being as corny as 300 was with it's violence.

Might come down to the fact they seem to keep it rather realistic.

Made my eyes water a bit at the end there.
Can't believe he didn't spill the beans on the bitch. Unless he was getting freedom for a family member as well. If it was just him though, he should have.
