So let me get this straight, this will be the final episode of the series of "Gods of the Arena"? There won't be another season of it, correct? It was a prequel to "Blood and Sand"?

right you havnt seen blood and sand yet have you? so i guess there are more surprises for you then there is for me and ESA, but some thing still surprise us.
anyway you have to have a look at blood and sand and when you do ALOT of the subjects GOTA touches on will make perfect sence.
however imo GOTA is alittle rushed.. no not rushed.. what the word im looking for here? fast paced maybe? ye ill go with fast paced as its only 6 episodes and they want to touch on all of the history that provided the backstory for blood and sand so surprises and revelations are to be expected in each episode.

exactly. and in some time season 2 of blood and sand will come out.
so my recomendation to you is when the finale ends of GOTA you should dive right into blood and sand.

Right, I haven't seen "Blood and Sand" yet but it sounds like it's really good. I'm loving GOTA and it's cool that I now have something to watch once it's done. It's like a guilty pleasure.

Exactly.
Indeed it is.
It may be worth mentioning that the last episode was the highest rated episode of both Gods of the Arena and Blood and Sand, getting 1,34 million viewers. I can see why. :beckettu:

surprisingly low for a seiries of (imo) such caliber.but i geuss since everything is filmed on stage with a greenscreen they can really keep the costs down and make it economicly viable.
its actually amazing how they can get it to look like they are outside when they really arnt.

Well it's on Starz which is a pay-tv network like Canal+, so it doesn't need the same number of viewers as other shows to be financially viable. In fact it's the highest rated show on Starz, and it's gone up a lot from the premiere of Blood and Sand which got 0.66 million viewers, and that was still the highest rated original series premiere in the history of the network at that time.

So ESA you seen it yet? the finale? i think it was great and another one riddled with surprises.
an epic finale if thre ever was one, however blood and sand was def the better finale even tho if one knows history it was not as surprising
still awesome tho.
anyone who hasnt seen this series you should def check it out.
I cant wait for s2 of blood and sand
gannicus being set free batiatus sealing that douchebag into the foundations of the new arena and the final blood guts and gore fight in the end
still awesome tho.

I saw it last night and I was all like "Ohhhh!". Very cool, especially the thing you mentioned in your spoiler. It was so fitting!
I still have to see the first series though, but this should help me to understand what's going on with it more I suspect.

i could see it until about an hour ago myself so im coming down from the high of the finale atm
and yes it was def fitting. but i didnt feel the last words batiatus had to say was neccesary as everyone knows it was a prequel but it was still awesome.
and im looking forward to seeing your reaction to blood and sand when youve seen it
now ima have a drink (soda) and relax

Nope, I've been occupied with alcohol related business this weekend.
I'm going to try and watch it later today when I'm not so hungover.

I just watched the episode and..... WOW 
I had really high expectations for it, but it was much better than I though it would be. Too bad about the long wait for Blood & Sand season 2.
