Spartacus: House of Ashur

This is the effect of getting old. 15 years ago when Spartacus first aired, Lucy Lawless probably was the "much older lady" to most of us. Now, the character is probably in your prime dating range, but her character hasn't aged. So you still think of her as the older lady in your mind even though she's not.

Meanwhile she's pretty close in age to this other chick, Claudia Black who for some reason some of you remember as being hot. I think you all found her attractive from Farscape? Which was a quarter century ago. She's actually old, not the 20-something you remember.

i just turned 40 make it stop

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of this show. It's just violence, blood, and sex. Brainless, enjoyable entertainment.

I gave this season a shot despite all the clues suggesting some jogger Shanequa was going to be the star and never made it beyond half way through the first episode. Maybe it gets better, but what I saw was terrible. It was so bad that it felt like I was watching an SNL parody of the first couple seasons. Ashur was a perfectly fine, interesting even, supporting character, but the dude cannot carry this show.

Never said she was, but she's all over the trailers and she's a huge part of the season -- right?

I don't understand the point of your post.
