What happened was... Full of Spartacus feelings one night, I spent five hours over chat summarizing the whole of the series to the lovely and wonderful and very patient
laulan (♥) (who had no current plans of watching the series, and OMG, you guys, I had SO MANY FEELINGS to share!). The next day, upon realizing how much I'd written, I decided to clean it up, add pictures and post it on lj. AS YOU DO!
PLEASE NOTE: If you are planning on watching the series (which you really totally should, it is AMAZING), don't spoil yourself by reading this. While it is an incredibly spoilery summary of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, it is a woeful misrepresentation of how awesome the show truly is. It is also a conversational re-telling of the show from my wildly biased POV, and is missing huge chunks of the narrative that I did not, at the time, need to get into in order to express my show feelings. If, OTOH, you plan on NEVER watching the show EVER, or you've seen S1, I hope it amuses.
Warnings and Disclaimers: This post, much like the show, contains graphic language and nudity, and some violence (though as little as I could reasonably get away with), and is intended for mature audiences. All screencaps were obtained from here
Thanks: Thanks to
gypsy_sunday and
kriari for looking this over before I posted. If there are any mistakes, or if it totally sucks, it is entirely their fault and you should judge them for it. Okay, I think that covers it!
