I have 0 idea how anyone could root for the romans in this show. Despite any historical accuracy they put in.I mean sure, enjoy the characters, but I've seen alot of ppl claim that rome was honorable............

Ancient rome, was far from honorable. They raped, stole, and pillaged as much if not more than spartacus. Only they did it under a different guise.

Honestly i'm neutral, at the end of the day, they are all killers, just as crassus said, they are both heroes and villains.

That was the ridge.......basically indicating it is indeed impassable. Spartacus declared they are going to fight where they stand. Kind of lame they are backed into a corner, oh well.

To add on, it's basically a wall in a sense. Spartacus has no way out of the position they are currently in which was Crassuss' plan all along.

One end has that trench followed by the wooden gate barriers (which is basically a trap) and the other end would be Crassuss' army and Sinuessa (sp?). Hence the only way out is to face Crassuss.

i have man crush on Gannicus, coolest male actor in this series so far, no homo

Yup.

Pretty much, I think even the Romans cheer for Gannicus once in a while, guy's a complete badass.

Crixus is just a little bitch now, I can't wait to see him and his annoying bitch die (Naevia). I don't know why, but their "dragged" love story just got the best of me, and I thought it was just..dumb to keep on draining that. I guess, Spartacus was just repaying the favour and that's what the writers wanted to show.

Laeta is just..fuck.

It's near the end of the season, and well, the next couple of episodes are going to be a complete heart-break for all the people following the show.

They must pay respects to Andy Withfield, that guy was the re-encarnation of Spartacus, and without his charm and great acting on season 1, this would have not scaled the way it did.

Go Spartacus, forever badass!

Just thought of something guys:
What does Spartacus make when he crushes a noble roman general's head on the ground?

A Dominus pizza.

was I the only person that was struck by the similarity of the city being taken over by either side? Both bloody and merciless when captured by Spartacus and the same when re-taken by Crassus. Only difference in character was that Crassus pawned off Laeta and Spartacus would not.

Gannicus is really a true badass and a man among men. Crixus has fallen from the manliest bro to the most whiny emo kid, helped by Naevia, apparently driven batshit cray-cray when she turned from asian into black woman.
I feel like I'm alone in thinking that Spartacus is still awesome and badass as well, and the substitute actor is doing a good job.

Gannicus and Spartacus god tier.

Edit: And Caesar and Crassus are a good change from the usual roman weaklings. + Show Spoiler +

I liked wild Caesar more than uniform Caesar, but eh :/

Yeah same. Regardless of who wins in the end humanity fails.

I'm not sure what happened to Crixus's voice from season 1, after S2 he became all whispers. He still has some moments that remind me of his old self.. when he busted through the doors and grabbed the guard by his neck, or when he did that crazy slo-mo jump down to help spartacus, I thought forsure he was gonna cut a roman in half vertically.

At the end of S1 I feel he was still a better fighter than spartacus, now it seems like Ashur could beat him.

Laeta is quickly becoming the most sympathetic character and Tiberius the most tragic. This season is overall just fantastic. I said it before, but this is the best season of the show so far. I'm enjoying it more than either season of Game of Thrones even. All the new characters are just so engaging and believable. My ranking:
1. War of the Damned
2. Blood and Sand
3. Gods of the Arena
4. Vengeance, really sub par.

I agree with this ranking of the show (still not above GoT in my book). Vengeance was horrible (there were some good episodes in the start) and then they come out with this gem.

Oh Gannicus, badest of asses, may the gods guide your sword forevermore!

Crassus isn't half bad either, and I love seeing his son's tragic perspective too.
