Spartacus: Unbelievably Violent and Pornographic!

Spoiler

Good episode, fitting end to Crixus. However, what the fuck was up with the Caesar rape scene? Is that based on anything historically?

Who knows as I saw nothing on the son when I looked him up so probably just for show.

But you know his daddy will be killing him soon hopefully.

The preview showed Caesar going to Spartacus and saying that he'll free 500 of their captured people (during the battle against Crixus) if Spartacus helps him kill the son.

That works also.

lol yea, raping a guy to put him in his place is a good way to get revenge handed to you on a ice cold platter.

i did chuckle when the Imperator asked Caesar why he was not on horse. lol

This weeks episode was awesome! I'm hoping that the finale is just as good.

 

[Baasha]

I can't believe this thread is still alive!

Really sad about Crixus!

Can't wait to see the episode tonight!

 

[Jaskalas]

I guess they're

trapped between two armies with nowhere to go but down... to Hades.

gg

Don't honestly know what to expect from the series finale. Other than living up to historical accuracies... they have leverage to make it their own.

 

[OutHouse]

Awesome episode, powerful.

 

[Newbian]

I call that move spartacus did when fighting in the arena the eye splitter.

 

[Jaskalas]

It ends... TONIGHT!

It ends... TONIGHT!

I think it's rare that a show ends right when it should, I'll be sad to see it go, but glad they did such a great job with it

A little off-topic, but is anyone else planning on watching the premiere of that DaVinci's Demons show that follows Spartacus?

after tonites series finale, i plan to binge watch all the episdoes this weekend. (havent watched one yet.)
then watch GoT episodes 1-3 to get caught up.

DaVinci's Demons a prequel to DaVinci code?

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

Well, I'll be sad to see this one go too. I gave up on it after the original Sparticus (actor) died. Took me a while to get into the new guy, but I did and got caught up on it.

Damn, I can't count how many of my favorites have gone off air recently...
-House
-Fringe
-Sparticus
-Weeds
-Breaking Bad (this summer)

Thank God I've gotten into Game of Thrones or I'd have nothing left... Has GoT ep. 3-03 made it to On Demand yet?

Don't they go on demand immediately after airing?

DaVinci's Demons a prequel to DaVinci code?

I've never read nor seen The DaVinci Code, but DaVinci's Demons takes place in 15th century Italy and follows Leonardo and his pals (Niccolo Machiavelli, etc.). The show's creator, David Goyer, has some decent credits to his name -- just ignore the crap like Ghost Rider.

Well I am sure it ends for spartacus in one way or another.

 

[JEDI]

Well I am sure it ends for spartacus in one way or another.

yeah.. just like the Passion of Christ, we knew the ending of the series at the start

 

[Aikouka]

:'(

Saw deserved end to good series....

 

[tommo123]

this episode was awesome. nice end credits sequence too (good to see andy in there to finish it off).

 

[Cuda1447]

Amazing show. I'm sad to see it end, but glad it had a story to tell and told it. I try to tell people how amazing this show is. Many don't 'get' it. They just see the overwhelming gore and think '300'. Perhaps it takes time, but the way this story developed from a Gladiator type story, to an epic struggle of futility. This is absolutely one of my favorite shows of all time.

Spoiler

I guess I'm a little surprised to see it end the way it did. I half-expected a victory for Spartacus and his people, even if just to get away. I didn't expect Gannicus to die at all. He seemed unbeatable to me. Almost more so than Spartacus.

was wondering if they'd give him an RIP, but giving him the final scene in the credits was great.



Great series, perfect ending. I know there's a lot of gratuitousness and nudity and all that, but the series overall was epic, and they never strayed far from the theme of Spartacus wanting freedom for all people, and liberty. Well done, from start to finish, the prequel season when Andy was fighting cancer fit in perfectly with the later seasons, and Liam taking over as Spartacus did it masterfully. Great series, one of my favorite ever. I hope this team sticks together and works on something else soon

In real life Spartacus' body was never found. Gannicus was also surprising, I agree. In real life Gannicus & Castus, (A Roman, but portrayed as the black pirate that stayed behind) broke off form Spartacus, possibly to create a diversion and died in a battle with a portion of Crasus' army.

I agree, probably one of my top 3, if not my absolute favorite series of all time.

Not sure how much spoiler tags, or how long they should go but...

Spoiler

I didn't see Gannicus going out like he did. That was pretty heartbreaking. I wouldn't have ever called the two that made it out alive. I knew Spartacus was going to die, but watched the EP with faint hope that somehow he'd beat the odds yet again and make it out.

 

[Newbian]

Now we need another roman era style show so we can keep up with the Jupiter's cock quotes.
