Great show great finale but talk about a bitter sweet ending. The only survivors were the 2 chicks & 2 gay dudes? Also, why did Craxus allow Pompi to claim that he killed Spartacus?

He was going to take credit regardless. Crassus wanted to be on the good side.

On a side note, I did some reading on the actual history and this bummed me out.

"Six thousand survivors of the revolt captured by the legions of Crassus were crucified, lining the Appian Way from Rome to Capua.[44]"

spartacus fans are probably watching Vikings.

davinci was fun with lush expensive settings.

I've allready been watching Vikings, and liking it a lot.

Da Vinci's Demons, I think will grow on me first episode was all right.

Octavean posted : There are different historical accounts as to what actually became of Spartacus. Therefore I wasn't sure which way they would go with it, which, added a degree of suspense.

I particularly liked the part where he said Spartacus was not his name. He had a life before the arena and before the revolt of the third servile wars. Everything was taken from him including his name.

I don't think Starz can top this production. I'm so sorry to see it end,...but grateful I had a chance to see it,....

Gratitude,...

Spartacus stands a shining beacon of the disenfranchised even today.

I don't think "Black Sails" or "Da Vinci's Demons" will even come close,....

Fucking Ceaser, i lost all respect for you. Poor gannicus, but the way he went out. Glory of the arena with Oenomaus by his side. Suits him perfectly.

Spartacus's end was boss. His last moments with his wife reminded us why he ever became spartacus.

Even though this was the best series finale ive ever seen, i'm really upset that i won't get to see this show again. Fucking Starz.

100% Agreed!!! I said the same exact thing, like the feel was like they took it back to the first season. Excellent!!! Loved it!!! And that whole way they paid respect to Crixus, and the others, was really touching. Gave me chills. All in all, I'm really sad to see Crixus go, but I think this was definitely one of the best episodes of this season.

I find it a little hard to believe but then they don't always stick to what is believed to be true. I'm a little unclear on which Tiberius this is (historically) but his insanity is well beyond his station at this point.

Crixus,.....what can you say about that. If I recall correctly, there was no actual attack made on Rome itself. There was a swing back where they could have attacked Rome,......but didn't. I think there was a split but I don't recall the reason.

I know it ended in mass $fontbg crucifixion of the fugitive slaves, but beyond that it gets a little fuzzy with different accounts,... Some say Spartacus was never captured and killed while others claim that he died with the bulk of them $Fontbg

Would you rather get raped occasionally, or live free though suffering through the cold and risk freezing?

considering how that roman kid got punished for attacking on the beach when he should have waited for his dad's army, one would expect ceaser to get into a lot of trouble for defying orders and bringing that slave girl to the war camp instead of rallying the troops back in town, but i suppose with 3 episode left there may not be enough time to deal with it properly.

Octavean posted : The son of Crassus AKA Tiberius $fontbg raped $Fontbg the slave known as Kore after his friends death (relationship with whom was unclear IMO). This was something of an affront beyond what would be typical of such an act because she aided in raising Tiberius from boyhood to manhood. So her feelings for Tiberius were maternal or quasi maternal.

Clearly Kore was conflicted in revealing this to Crassus. Apparently she feels for both Crassus and Tiberius and leaving would prevent any kind of retribution by Crassus against Tiberius for the act of $fontbg rape $Fontbg. It would also remove her from being close / alone with Tiberius preventing further attack.

Ultimately she is a slave and perhaps never really thought of herself as such due to being well-kept,...until the incident with Tiberius and her new position / charge with Tiberius (taking her away from Crassus).

Wanting to flee,....where would she (a run away slave) go,...?

So going with slaves on the run makes some sense but she would have had to cross over the ~1000 some odd bodies of dead slaves which should have also reminded her of her own mortality,...enough so to turn back,......

She will probably serve some purpose later on but we know how the story ends for the most part,.....

All the signs of the end are starting to come together though. An episode or two ago they made mention of a Roman campaign in Spain ending headed by Pompeius (Pompey). Recalling resources due to the third Servile war,....or just returning home victorious,...

One of the main reasons Spartacus did so well was because Roman forces were $fontbg spread too thin in other parts of the world. $Fontbg

Packeteers posted : this last episode was great, but i didn't follow the whole deal with that slave girl the father & son were separately banging. ceaser using her as an excuse to go to the front lines instead of back to town to gather more men seemed lame, and her fear of being alone in running the town villa with the son, while the father was in rome didn't seem like a bad deal, when compared to joining a gang of exiled slaves running away in the thick of winter.

this whole side plot seemed contrived and unneeded - the writers could have just as easily kept the slave and ceaser where they were -$fontbg as it made no difference later to anyone in the plot line once the slaves slipped through the wall to escape. $Fontbg - if the writers needed to get the slave girl to join spartacus i really can't see why bother, as he already out foxed the romans without her insights, and none of the romans would compromise their pursuit of spartacus just because of a pretty slave girl... unless she plans to spy on the slave rebellion for the romans - which is also doubtful.

i read next week's synopsis which said there will be further division between ceaser and the roman leader's son, but again - that plot direction would have occurred with or without that slave girl around.

I was hoping spartacus had a plan to fire cannons from the ship to the roman ships. I don't see how they can fight all those.

I also love the fact that he was humble enough to be trained by a slave/former gladiator in gladiatorial combat. His son seems like a pompous little shit though.
