+ Show Spoiler +ohhhh fucking shit that was CRAZY oh my god oh my god. Gannicus murdered a bunch of elite roman guards and took Illythia hostage holy hell I did NOT see that one coming. This season has just been playing out superbly, I think it might rate over Blood and Sand when all is said and done, even in Andy's absence. Andy's rendition of Spartacus was more that of a moody loner, I honestly can't imagine him in this sort of forceful/commanding role, new guy is stepping up to the plate.
I loved the Germans. It was kind funny how Spartacus was bitching about how they were unruly and they rioted the 2nd night they were with him. Big German guy was insanely jacked, like semi-pro bodybuilder in the offseason looking.
Glaber is such a monster. I really wanted to like the guy, but not anymore! Now I'm almost rooting for Illythia/Lucretia.

just as bunch of crixus' men died recently, bunch of germans come in. i like the lil rivalry and tension between them.

I hope it will get better, eventhough he must have some heavy pressure. Andy had what it takes, or maybe I was simply too used to him  . While I enjoy this show for its entertainment values, did anyone notice the poor US propaganda against Syria?... /!\ Spoiler /!\ ... Okay, I have not read the historical gladiator / spartacus books. But isn't it a little weird/shady that the Syrian Ashur is being the only guy who betrays everyone ? He is the only one to kill children and women, he is the evilest by far, we could easily have empathy towards the romans compared to Ashur. Any correlation with the actual war ? I think it's pretty clear though ... Not to mention the oriental ("arab"-ish) music during every single violent bloody fights ... I havn't even analyzed it much more but it's already blattant propaganda imo. Thoughts?
Because the Starz network aims TV shows at republicans who like sex on television?
Are you serious? There are archtypes used here in a very general Jungian sense, in order to create a balance in the cast. This is a very popular (and proven to be powerful) application of psychology to writing, used in everything from Westerns, Sci-fi, Chinese Kung-fu movies, periodical dramas, etc. This is no more cynical than when it was done on every Star Trek series (Klingons were obviously part of the US propaganda machine against Africans! Romulans represent the communist threat). Do not see evil where it is plain cynicism and a standard formula for how to build a cast. So, they chose one (out of many) villains to be Syrian. Far worse than him are the Romans (Batiatus, Glabber), who murder, rape, pillage, and enslave - without any moral qualms. Is this propaganda against Italians? Is Lucretia any less treasonous than Ashur? She betrayed her husband who would give everything up for her; Ashur does what he does to survive. Ashur has never had allies, was despised by all - especially those he admired most. So he serves with all his capabilities, because what else can a slave do? He was never rewarded for anything else, no matter how hard he tried or how much he wanted.
As to the "eastern" music, that was the music at Roman times. There was no "western" music - the western music theory was not yet invented (nearly a thousand years off from the point you could actually differentiate "east" and "west" that way), and the influence of the east (especially Egypt) on Roman culture was massive. If anything, they should get points for at least somewhat trying to remain authentic to the music of the region at the time.
You are looking for racism and US "propaganda" so much that you are losing the context. This shows more about your bias than that of the show.

That said, I was totally expecting the wife to be dead at the end of the episode. Disappointed, but still really amazed by the episode, nonetheless!

i still cant figure out why lucretia wants to kill glabber so bad... i can't connect the dots to how that will have any huge benefit for her except that illithya may be put in some authority at that point... as is illithya wouldn't stab her in the back lol

I don't like her face. She looks like she's 5 years old. Her body is OKish, not that great. Overall the hottest actress is Spartacus's gf (can't remember her name).
Really excellent episode. The ending was really well done. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Ashur's power over her comes from Glaber. Remove Glaber and Ashur is again just another slave to kill.

I thought it was pretty clear... he's a ruthless dick who kills a lot of people with little justification. He's doing nearly as much damage as spartacus and spartacus will stop bothering the romans once Glaber is dead since (she thinks) all he cares about is avenging his wife.
