Starz "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" is into their third episode, 'Legends' as we follow the travails of Andy Whitfield's put-upon Gladiator-slave Spartacus who must prove himself during training.

His trainer is Doctore, played by M&C's favorite actor on the series, Peter Mensah.  Seriously, have you seen Mensah in a full shot on frame? Giving the "Doctore staredown" or cracking that bullwhip? A human statue of physical perfection. Don't get me started.

Anyway, we rejoin the ludus Friday night (Feb. 5) with our favorite scheming couple of the ancient Roman times, Batiatus (John Hannah) and his spendaholic climber wife Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) this Friday night as our hero Spartacus is slightly pwned by Crixus (mmmmManu Bennett), the Alpha male of the school. Well Spartacus is full of rage, and from the looks of what I have seen, probably starving (the guys don't eat so well at the ludus) and all this trapped energy poses a big problem for Batiatus, who has to make some hard decisions regarding his new "student."

For those of you who have not caught up, go to Starz to watch episodes 1&2.

Spartacus was forced into slavery because he bucked Roman command. Now he serves Rome as a Gladiator. The classic tale of the Republic’s most infamous rebel comes alive in the graphic and visceral new series, as Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment.

Spartacus: Blood and Sand episode 3 airs Friday Feb 5th on Starz at 10PM EST.

Here is the video recap sent to M&C from our friends at Starz:
