Spartacus : Blood and Sand S01E08




Episode 08 - Mark of the Brotherhood (12/03/2010)..

Spartacus embraces his role as champion and puts Crixus in his place. After Crixus attempts to prove he has recovered, Batiatus considers selling him. Ilithyia gets her own gladiator-in-training and an attempt is made on Spartacus' life.


Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a Starz television series that premiered on January 22, 2010. The series is inspired by the historical figure of Spartacus (played by Andy Whitfield), a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BC led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Executive producers Steven S. DeKnight and Robert Tapert focused on structuring the events of Spartacus' obscure early life leading up to the beginning of historical records. The show has been rated TV-MA for graphic violence, strong sexual content, and coarse language.

The show was initially renewed for a second season but production was delayed because Whitfield was diagnosed with early-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Due to the delay, Starz produced a six-episode prequel series, entitled Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. Pre-production of season 2 began following the announcement that Whitfield was cancer free, however his cancer recurred. Starz has since replaced Whitfield with actor Liam McIntyre, who will play Spartacus for season two

America's Next Top Model S14E01




Episode 01 - Be My Friend, Tyra! (10/03/2010)

The fourteenth season began with 32 models vying for 14 spots. The contestants were asked to create a social networking-styled profile, MyFiercePage.com, including a profile photo and a video of their walk. Angelea, who failed to make the cut in Cycle 12, returned. A final picture required them to take inspiration from current and past top models. Gabrielle impressed Mr. Jay with her knowledge of the industry, while Tatianna was castigated for electing to emulate an actress (Megan Fox) rather than a model. When decision time dawned, Tyra revealed that only 12 had been selected, and they would travel to New York City where they would meet the thirteenth contestant.

Upon arrival, they met Perez Hilton and began a tour of the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Later, they were introduced to Ren, who had been scouted by Tyra and the production staff. Makeovers were administered shortly after. Anslee and Brenda were upset to have their hair cut short; Krista was unhappy that her hair was slicked back.

The girls moved into their house and disagreements erupted between many girls. They were then taken to their first photo shoot, where it was revealed that each would be posing nude aside from one article of clothing.

The show was created and is hosted by talk-show host and model Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series. The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici, and is an independent production of 10 by 10 Entertainment and Bankable Productions (part of the dummy company/joint venture Pottle Productions), distributed for The CW by Bankable Productions and syndicated internationally by KingWorld (and its successor CBS Television Distribution). For the 2006–2007, 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 television seasons, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.

Ghost Hunters S06E02




Episode 02 - Fort Ticonderoga (10/03/2010)

Fort Ticonderoga, New York

An 18th Century fort haunted by the dead of three nations needs help from the TAPS team, and the Ghost Hunters are thrilled to oblige.

Fort Ticonderoga has it all: voices from apparitions speaking in French and English, lights flashing, drums and bagpipes playing and even horses stomping. Jason has family in the area, so he is already well versed in the claims of the Fort. Unfortunately, Grant is unable to join in this investigation but Britt is on board to help out.

The Fort's Curator of Collections, Chris Fox, tells the team about the British, French and American soldiers who gave their lives at this historic location and could be responsible for the paranormal activity his staff has experience over the years. Staff members have reported a soldier in 18th century garb in both the officer's barracks and the soldier's barracks. Moving orbs of light have startled several workers. And in the cemetery, people have heard hoof beats, seen a figure on horseback and seen shadows moving around the grounds. It's a lot of ground to cover for the team, but they see this cold and eerie night as high potential for collecting evidence of paranormal activity.

Jason and Steve start out in the Officer's Barracks testing out their French to provoke a spirit. They soon hear footsteps on the floor above, but the building is empty!

In the pitch-black cemetery of unmarked graves, Amy and Britt pick up high EMF readings out in the middle of nowhere and there is no reading on the thermal imaging to indicate power sources. A figure is walking out near the woods. As they talk to it the EMF readings rise and they hear whispering noises- but the thermal shows no indication of a living entity.

Up in the attic of the officer's barracks, Jason and Steve are startled by a bright flashing light. They think Tango and Kris might be up to something, but it turns out they are equally freaked out by the same flash from across the courtyard in the soldier's barracks. Meanwhile, Tango and Kris eliminate all possible sources of the reported footsteps in those barracks. It turns out that if someone walks on an outdoor ramp, it sounds as though they are walking upstairs. Mystery explained!

Jason and Steve move to the officer's quarters, where they hear moaning and breathing. Steve then meets up with Tango in the soldier's barracks, where they hear strange sounds, like someone coughing or grunting.

The full spectrum camera- which captures images using ultraviolet light- makes its debut as Britt and Jason tour the officer's quarters. They trace a mysterious noise to the movement of a door latch, but they can't explain what's making it move.

In the "French ovens", where a woman was supposedly killed and people have heard voices, Amy and Kris are grossed out by the bugs and filth, but they can't seem to get a rise out of any bread-baking spirits.

Amy and Britt take their turn doing EVP work in the soldier's barracks and Amy sees a shadow mass that she mistakes for Britt. The two try to draw the shadows out, but instead they hear noises— like drums— from upstairs. A rocking bench is the culprit, but the question remains: who is rocking it?

The investigation wraps up with each team member having personal experiences- some overlapping. With recorded evidence of voices, doors creaking and unexplained thumping, Jason and Steve tell Chris Fox that they firmly believe there is paranormal activity at Fort Ticonderoga. Only further investigations can tell just how haunted the fort really is!
