Starz‘s return to the Spartacus universe with House of Ashur poses the question: What if Ashur (Nick Tarabay) hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance and instead was gifted Batiatus’s Ludus in return for helping to kill Spartacus and end the slave rebellion?
what a weird premise for a spinoff.
“Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is… maybe he didn’t?”
except Ashur wasn’t even “Custer”, he was a fairly minor character. If they’re going to retcon a character death why not just bring back Batiatus?
This is Starz CEO’s vision:
“As you turn the slate over to go from season four and five economics, to season one economics, you can pull a ton of cost out of the business. What you have to do is map out each of those shows and … what the curve looks like, and know where you have to pop a new show on to bring that cost down. And so we’ve got a pretty good map of what that looks like. Because again, we focus on those two core demos, we’ve been able to manufacture hits for those demos.”

Leave them be, they are busy manufacturing hits.

Had to look at some pics of her to believe it. I was dating when I was 49-52, and brother, people that look that good at that age are pretty rare.
Awesome

I was just thinking; for the next Bond, Lawless as ‘M’
Lawless a ‘M’, no I don’t see it. Moneypenny could be an option, maybe.
Fuck it. Lawless as Bond!!
The name’s Bond… Jamie Bond.
