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.

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.”

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.
