Jesus Christ...

I'll return with thoughts once I'm of mind to form them.

I shall attempt to break words towards feelings.

I'm sure that most people anticipating the final episode held onto some sort of hope that the rebels would win, or at least, Spartacus (and Gannicus, Saxa, etc.) wouldn't die. I was holding onto that sliver of hope up until the very end. I think that's how it is supposed to be.

I didn't know how the writers could make the series finale as grand as it should have been, if they were to stick to history and end the war with a victory for Crassus. As I've learned time and time again throughout this season, the writers are very good at keeping the show historically accurate (with some liberties taken, i.e. Caesar's presence) and also making it very entertaining to watch.

Twice this season I was led to believe Crixus was going to part ways and take with him a sizable portion of the army, only to have mind put at ease when he and Spartacus reconciled. Then finally, it did happen. As did the death of Spartacus, and Gannicus, and the majority of the rebels.

I don't understand why people are mad about Agron and Nasir making it. Agron was a great character, and a fierce warrior. Most importantly, history didn't dictate that he die, since he's not a part of the historical record of the Third Servile War.

The battle itself was amazing. Spartacus proved himself an amazing war general. His ability to raise morale, his supremacy in combat, and his strategic planning were all put on display. The only obstacles he couldn't overcome were the shortfall in raw numbers, and technological disadvantages. Otherwise, he would have bested Crassus.

When he was fighting Crassus 1-on-1, I was on the edge of my seat, rooting for him like I was watching a football game. Liam's performance was amazing, and further proved that he is as worthy a successor to the role of Spartacus as there could be after Andy's passing. When Crassus caught the sword, I thought Spartacus was done. I was like :whoa:"They can't let a fukking single Roman kill Spartacus!" Then, when Spartacus caught the sword himself, :takedat:. But when there was that single moment of suspense before Spartacus dealt the death blow, I knew it wasn't going to happen.

That first spear that went through his torso crushed me. They got him. He's going to die. The fact that Crassus didn't get to finish him off like a coward is the only positive I can take away from that.

Gannicus... :sadcam:. I yet held hope that he would make it. The fact that Caesar, after realizing he was getting the business, backed away behind the Roman soldiers, only to re-emerge after Gannicus was taken to his knees, is the most cowardly thing I've seen from him. Even more so than getting raped by a teenager. fukk Caesar.

I don't want a spinoff; there's nothing they could do that would hold my interest like Spartacus. The entire notion of these guys facing infinitely impossible odds, continuing to march without hesitation into the face of death, towards the goal of freedom. That can't be replaced.

Did anybody else think to themselves, "What am I doing with my life?" after this episode? I just want to strap up and kill some oppressive Roman scum. This series lights a fire of virility and testosterone in me like no other.

I know I'm typing a lot, but this shyt has been a hell of a ride. A combination of my brother and the hamster put me onto this series. I started watching only after Andy died (right before Gods of the Arena began showing), yet still I felt terrible after watching the first season, knowing that I wouldn't get to see him continue the fight for freedom. I hated Liam at first. It was a combination of the fact that he simply wasn't Andy, and also that he wasn't the same type of character. Another poster summarized it pretty well when he said that we watched Andy start from the absolute bottom, through Kill Them All, and then all of a sudden this new guy comes in and takes the ball at the goal line (beautiful analogy, breh).

But Liam did an amazing job -- especially this season.

What a ride it's been, brehs. I'm glad to have been a part of the experience.

we are :blessed: brehs to be able to witness greatness!! the scene that really stood out to me was at the end first when sparty once again acknowledged that wasn't his name, and then how he once again brought the rains through his death. the earth was weeping for him. also, i absolutely LOVED that crassus and ceasar don't know what happened to him.


if ya'll haven't yet, ya'll should really read those interviews people have been posting. great insight into what went into the finale, and all the different ideas and changes they considered making. wish they made the finale an hour n half, sounds like they had to cut a lot of dope stuff. de knight also pretty much confirmed what everyone was sayin about the show pushing the homo agenda.

Good post esp agree with your thoughts about Liam. I followed the show pretty much from day 1 (third ep or something) so my thoughts on Liam were pretty much fukk him from the start. Its fitting that he earned my respect 100% on the last ep. You could tell he put it all out there and I respect that even tho Andy will always be #1 Spartacus to me (no homo). But when he took those spears I felt it. Couldnt have asked for a better death. I wish Gannicus could have gotten the same type of death too even tho the scene with the arena was nice

Still can't process the finale. It just hit me so hard seeing what those Roman c*nts did to the bringer of rain and the god of the arena.

I hope when the blu ray comes out they give us an extended episode.

When Spartacus ran up that hill after Crassus I thought he was about to end dude. Then he got to thinking about Sura I just knew Crassus was about to suffer.

I was on tear watch twice during the finale

Watching Sparty with them 3 spears in him on his knees looking defeated almost had me.

Second time and probably the best part of the ep was the very end. When he was gaspin for air :to:.

Seeing Spartacus spitting up strings of blood :sadcam:

Zora being taken away :to:

Mira dying :to:

Varro :to:



Spartacus caught that sword mid air like "fukk out my face with that weak shyt". Had Crassus crawling on the ground with the :merchant: face. I never wanted to see a muthafukka die so bad. I felt that pain Sparty was feeling. That nikka Crassus had to go.



Then :sadcam:

And again :sadcam:

And again :damn:

finally saw da finale, dayum what an end. the writers n producers really did the show justice and delivered a great finale, def one of my all time best finale. Especially luv the ending credits giving 1 last montage of all da actors from season 1 till now.

and i must admit, when Spartacus sd those final lines, my eyes got watery, like dayum dis is really over.

There's been some great great shows on tv, but none have ended this good, still on a high, wrapped up all da stories nicely no cliff hangers, but not boring at all. The Wire ending n last season sucked, Soprano's every1 meetin for dinner, stupid ass ending. dont get get me started on lost n prison break. After this i dunno if i have the heart to even watch walking dead anymore, no matter what it can't compare.


Edit: sorry brehs, was still emotional n teary eyed watchin HBK b strung up like that.
