I thought slappy's idea was interesting so I rewatched a lot of the conversations between Kore and Crassus, and I find it very plausible he knows and even expected it. I would find it very in line with his character too. When Tiberius is in the followers camp, but before rape + Show Spoiler + Crassus: "I look into his eyes and no longer gaze upon the boy I knew" Kore: "I have witnessed cold distance in his stare. You should break words and draw him near where he belongs" Crassus: "Nothing do I crave more, yet he must find his own path or be forever lost" Kore: "Of course. It weighs heavy seeing one so loved cast adrift" Crassus: "I can offer him no light upon welcoming shore... Yet you may appear as bright as the North Star, constant in his guidance" Some more dialogue and then they have sex, scene ending with a tear dropping from Crassus onto Kore. Upon rewatching this scene it is easy to interpret it as this is where he realizes/gets the idea. "Yet you may appear as bright as the North Star". The tear onto Kore symbolizes his realization and regret that he must sacrifice his relationship with her for the greater good of his son, echoed in the words "It weighs heavy seeing one so loved cast adrift" The next scene with Kore is the rape scene, where she is in Tiberius tent to share the bottle of wine gifted from his father. In the scene afterwards between Crassus and Kore, where Tiberius joins in + Show Spoiler + Crassus tells her she is to leave the followers camp to live with him. Kore crying. Crassus: "There is no cause for tears on such a day" Kore: "They are of joy, to find myself delivered from the followers' camp" Crassus: "Delivered?" Quick distant look. Here it feels like he instantly knows what has happened, and when Tiberius joins there are many cues in facial expression and words hinting at this, such as "A man does what is required when fate calls upon him". Also Tiberius almost flat out tells his father what has happened given his wording and the state of Kore. Given all this, I think slappy is right and the main reason to keep her in Sinuessa is to reward his son and keep him on his new track. Crassus also says to her "As long as the womans stands clear o heart's desire", which can be interpreted as "I don't care if he fucks you as long as you love me". This becomes apparent to her and that is why she decides to leave for the rebels. A big bit of analyzing here, and maybe I'm reading too much into it but I must really give the actor playing Crassus, Simon Merrells, credit. He gives life to Crassus as a cold planning mind with small facial expressions telling the story of deeper thoughts behind everything told to him. | ||

I don't see any realistic reason for crassus to let her live; while I respect the way they did that final scene, it was a little odd for that possibility to be left open. tiberius basically needs to be crucified for karma to come back around on all the action he got tonight. busy guy. Looked like she was still alive in the previews for next ep. Showed her riding into the camp. | ||

Rape scene was super uncomfortable, imagine what the two henchmen were thinking during that. | ||

I'm not too thrilled to hear that I apparently missed naevia being in next episode, buuuuuuut it just occurred to me that she'll probably get set free by caesar to reflect poorly on tiberius or something in that vein. | ||

With 2 episodes left I thought that Crixus' march to Rome would be a lot more fleshed out. | ||
