Lucy is incredibly naughty. I can't even write what she just said. Very funny though.

moryan
Happy to be embraced by gay viewers, DeKnight says. Approach all relationships simply as relationships. Will continue to have same-sex rels

moryan

We'll see "quite a bit" of Doctore in prequel. He plays major role, DeKnight said. Cool, cuz Oenomaus/PeterMensah is awesome.

"Not for a moment" does Lucy want to pick up sword & do warrior stuff.She & Viva would eat grapes &say "look at those suckers down in dirt!"

moryan
2 merch items DeKnight wants: console game & action figures.

Hannah & Lucy talking about "fluffer scene" & how it told the audience so much about the characters & the cultures. They're right, actually.

Andy didn't want #Spartacus to kill Varro. "Jai & I were a mess" shooting it. #SDCC

Just found out they are giving away leather wrist bands as Spartacus swag. Now I want one!

RT @RejectRobert: Whitfield wants to pack on more mass for S2. In 1 he was about 185-190lbs. Here's to a 200lb Spartacus in 2011!


moryan

"No cops, no doctors, no car chases etc" part of the joy of Sparty, Hannah says. But he adds that Andy wants there to be a chariot chase.

moryan
Varro not coming back for prequel. They wanted to find a way to bring him in but just could not.

A #SDCC fan referred to John Hannah as "Dominus" and John replied "Speak" with a hand wave and the crowd roared with laughter.

moryan

JohnHannah: Thought maybe he & Spartacus could become buddies but by ep7, knew that wasn't gonna happen.

spartacus_starz

A #SDCC fan just emphatically told Viva and Lucy how gorgeous they were in Season 1 of #Spartacus.

spartacus_starz

Andy was asked wht roles he was attracted 2 & he replies, "Roles whr my characters name is the name of the film" w/ a chuckle.

moryan

DeKnight: "I'm a huge romantic," cites Crixus/Nevia, Lucretia/Batiatus etc. Will be lots more of that in S2 - relationships, love etc.



ShowPatrol
Last years #Spartacus panel at #SDCC had half as many people as this year's. People apparently loove it like I do.


moryan
In S2 Spartacus will start to see big picture & become more socially conscious. More than just his revenge. But he'll still kill lotsa pple.


spartacus_starz

In the episode where #Spartacus is in the pits Andy actually punched the guy in the face!

spartacus_starz
#Spartacus #SDCC panel just erupted in laughter over the most famous line in the show, "Jupiter's C#*k"!

moryan

"I am Batiatus" Steven S DeKnight. Loved writing for him thus glad to be able to write more eps for him w prequel
