I'm a real "no-fun" sort when I see Roman military tactics butchered on television and in cinema, but the series went out with a bang and everything ended about as well as could be expected.

Really saddens me this show didn't gather more acclaim, the production alone for the ending episode was on par with game of thrones best episodes.

This is simply not anywhere close to true.

I have watched the whole series so dont take me as a hater but am I the only one that thought the ending just felt rushed? Like they were going along as if it was a standard episode then in the last 20 minutes they were like "oh wait this is the last one better hurry up and kill everyone!". Oh and Ceaser spin off inc.

Would actually be the best thing they could do, however it's more likely to see a Caesar spinoff.

Sad to see it end. Loved the finale and I think Im gonna miss this show. Lots of things could've been done better blabla but it was really good tbh. I guess time will tell if they do a spinoff.. The concept of mass combat and lots of sex seemed to have worked

If you say so but you're going to actually come up with something to back that up instead. I would put the season finale up against blackwater assault episode (second to last episode of season 2).

If you want to say you found it more entertaining that's one thing and that is much a matter of opinion which you are entitled to, but you said production. Game of Thrones reportedly costs over $60 mil a season (for 9-10 ep seasons?). The pilot alone was estimated to have been close to $10 mil, while what I could find on Spartacus was around 1.5-3 mil an episode?

Game of Thrones is on par with most Hollywood budget movies as far as production value goes, and it's aim is realism. Spartacus is a bunch of mediocre CGI with unrealistic battle scenes in slow motion. As far as production quality goes there really is no comparison whatsoever, but if you want to compare the shows overall merits and how much you liked it, by all means choose Spartacus, I just think comparing almost any show on TV right now to Game of Thrones (Outside of a select few; Walking Dead for example) in terms of production quality is not going to get you far.

Let's be honest, the effects themselves are pretty shoddy. This is a great show and I love it but come on, the production value is mediocre at best.

Great ending, Pompey being a dickbutt out of nowhere.

Spartacus was buried beneath agrons shield which bore a red serpent

He also had a serpent on his chest plate, and his arm bracers.

That was one of the best endings i've ever seen. Manly tears were shed.

And Andy tribute at the end....too many feels.

Uhhh... Wat?

I guess you fell asleep (understandably so) during all the terrible gunfights with fake muzzle flashes and no recoil.

You were probably asleep when you could see Hershel's leg hanging behind him because of a bad camera angle too.

I guess you also missed that picture floating around the web of a guy drinking a coke in the middle of a zombie horde.

Seriously... the only thing that show does well in terms of production is the make up, and that is only on about 10-15 feature zombies (max) per episode. Please, don't ever compare it to Game of Thrones. Hell. Disney shows have better production value.

And so falls the legend. The two most disappointing things happened though in all of the seasons during this season; both Crixus and Gannicus had some of the worst death scenes ever, more so Crixus than Gannicus though.

Sentiments keenly felt. Yet brow thickens of moisture of fabled show at completion.

RIP Andy Whitfield you baws.

Starz please do a spin-off with Crassus , Caesar , & Pompey! (Christ I said FX for some reason, all the hype leftover from watching the finale.)

Loved the part when spartacus blocked crassus's sword-steal thing (the one he used to kill that gladiator in episode 1 with), I was like holy shit what a badass.

I found these on imdb, so I'll add them here
