Spartacus: Gods of the Arena' Prequel Season, Episode 1 Recap

We are back, ladies and gentlemen. The first few minutes of 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena' gave us heaping helpings of things we've come to expect from this Starz series: spurting blood, naked bodies, violence, profanity, and, just for grins, Batiatus using a public toilet.Remind me again, why isn't this airing on ABC Family?
