A very satisfying finale. I did NOT see Lucretia's actions coming... that was totally out of left field. I was predicting Illythia miscarries and she and Lucretia cry and have some girl sympathy time and its all tragic and stuff... boy was I wrong on that one. I mean Illythia did a lot for Lucretia and even took care of the Ashur issue when she was asked. I think it was very reasonable for them to have finally made up their differences and moved forward.
I love how the show writers made you think Lucretia was insane, then that she was just pretending to be insane and wanted revenge, but then that she wasn't insane and was willing to forgive Illythia and move on, but all along it turned out she actually was insane and pretending not to be crazy the whole fucking time.
I wasn't huge on Ashur's demise, I thought the Egyptian turning on him would have been more fitting. It was alright I guess, just hard for me to suspend disbelief on Navea actually doing anything. I think the new Spartacus did exceptionally well, but new Navea did NOT capture the dramatic impact of the old one. Just felt contrived and whiney rather than the tortured, dark, and vengeful thing they were going for.
Overall it was a pretty good finale and a very good season. Nothing topped the episode where the gang attacks the arena though.

+1, Rip. I nearly shed a tear. Those two things will be missed next year.
I thought they really outdid themselves with cinematography and atmosphere this episode. The scene at the old Ludus with Illythia and Lucretia... just the way it was lit and filmed made it so chilling and dark.

+ Show Spoiler +When Lucretia fell back to her death I just stared at the screen is disbelief.

glabber's gonna have a hard time swallowing after that

will there be a season 4? ive read the wikipedia article about spartacus and it hasent happened what i read yet.
time to wait for game of thrones! epic weekend!
|
hahahahaha, most TV shows you would expect like one shocking main character death in a season finale at best. Here, like half of the main characters died in 50 minutes. amazing tv
|
Now thats a perfect final episode. Gotta hand it to the director and the great cast.

It was renewed long ago.

I said out loud "Oh no" 2 minutes in for obvious reasons.
Great episode though, a fitting end to the season a lot of the foreshadowing of the first few episodes finally comes to fruition specifically regarding Oenimaous and Lucretia.
|
Season started off as non-interesting to waiting non-patiently for the next episode. They pulled it off well. Hope this Spartacus lasts for the next season tho 
|
Here's hoping whenever spartacus' death is it will be as epic as the losing final battle in 300. I'm actually tempted to rewatch all of the first season because of this, such a good show!

epic finale is epic, great scene when Oenomaus called Gannicus "brother" again but I will also miss Egyptian he was such a scary fighter
by the way at the end Gannicus finally understood their cause

are we 100% Ilythia is dead?
|
Also, Ashur had the most cheesy and unbelievable death ever. I felt he deserved better.
They'll be hard pressed to find a better bad guy to replace him too next season.

I kinda hoped Ashur would made it through the season and into the next one. It will be VERY hard to replace Batiatus and Ashur. They were the main villains and perhaps the best chars in the series.
Season started off kinda snoozy but ended with a couple of very good/ epic episodes. It will be a pain to wait another year for S03  .

I was so excited after the final scene that i totally forgot about the dissapointing death of Ashur. I absolutely agree with you, it was very underwhelming.

If I could summarize my words into one picture for this finale.
