Andy was awesome, he was amazing as Spartacus but I think the show is very good and that you'll like other seasons too.

i was afraid of that too, and it takes some getting used to at first, but liam mcintyre does an awesome job too. i don't even compare the two anymore, they both portrayed spartacus brilliantly, and i think you will still enjoy the other seasons just as much as the first one.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-25 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Liam was fabulous and you'll be missing out if you don't watch all of the series.

This is why I haven't tracked down Seasons 2 and 3 yet (also, Megavideo no longer exists). I loved his Spartacus SO FREAKING MUCH. He was my favorite. Sadly, his In Memoriam clip on the Emmys is what got me to watch the show. But it turned out to be amazing!

TL;DR: I just want to commiserate with you, OP.

*eats internet cookies and offers internet brownies* HE WAS SO WONDERFULLLLLLL!!!! And sexy. I'm awful.

You can't compare them, they're both amazing as Sapartacus. Watching the prequel series inbetween Blood and Sand and Vengeance actually helped a lot in preparing me for the change.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-25 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I may try that. I was actually thinking about skipping the prequel till later but if you think it helps, I could very well give it a shot.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-25 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Really it's the place where it's best watched because it sets up a good chunk of Vengeance (which assumes you've seen it) including a hugely important character. But also, six episodes without Spartacus in at all helps get you in the right mindset and makes the transition between actors easier, I think.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-26 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I never had a problem with shifting between the actors (knowing it was because Andy Whitfield HAD to drop out due to being so sick made it a non-issue) but having the prequel between the first two seasons REALLY did give a good cushion of time to transition.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-25 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I miss Andy so much. I can't watch the new season; I tried, I just kept feeling sad Andy was gone, instead of appreciating the new actor. :(

[Picture is a poster of the TV series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand".]

I just started watching this (yeah, very behind the times.) Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to like the episodes made with the replacement actor, because I like this Spartacus too much.

Andy embodied the role first and so brilliantly than I can sorta see where you're coming from. It's perfectly normal to miss Andy and to wish things had been different.

That being said, Liam did his damnedest to make the role his own and I think he was a fantastic Spartacus; I adore the guy and was sad to see the series end because he was so good. So yes, Andy was wonderful, but there's so much more to the story and characters that you haven't seen yet, and I think you should give it a shot.

Goran Visnjic will always be my Spartacus

Don't be. There are a lot of people who give Liam a ton of shit, but he did an excellent job. An amazing one if you consider the situation he had to walk into.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-26 01:07 am (UTC)(link)

I never got this. Never. Andy HAD to drop out, there was no other choice. It's not like Liam came along and stole the role from him. He pretty much made it possible for the series to continue and it was and is such BAD manners and so disrespectful to try and say Liam would NEVER be their Spartacus/Andy was The Only One/blahblahwhine.

Yeah. There are so many people who do that shit on the Spartacus tumblr tag, I have no idea what else the show "should" have done instead. Just let all the other people involved in the series go? Andy gave them his blessing to recast the role, and I think he approved of Liam too? He may have been cast after Andy passed away, I don't remember.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-26 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Liam apparently did have Andy's blessing. I remember him saying so in an interview with People.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-26 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
OP

I would never be giving Liam shit in anyway, that's just stupid and yeah, bad fan manners.. I'm just wary of the disappoint with a different actor.

p.s. I doubt that kind of people could deal with Doctor Who. XD
