One of my favorite shows of all times. I loved the finale. I wanted Spartacus to win and live but yet at the same time I wanted the show to be historically accurate.

I'll be honest I shed a tear at the final ep.

Gutted about how Gannicus died though.

Love the fact argon is still alive, have a sneaky suspicion he'll appear if they make the spin off season about caeser.

A few comments about the latest episode and this season in general

- Epic death by Lugo. Second most epic in this season, followed by the bald guy in ep 8 (I think his name is Britchus). "YOU ROMAN CUUUUUUUUUUU--"

- Crassus is hilarious. He keeps on forgiving you, but then punishing you anyway because technically you were on the wrong side.

- I liked the part where Crassus said to catapult his own men. It once again showed him as the ruthless one, and Caesar as the compassionate one. (Which is a trait he seldom shows, but it happens sometimes, like when he was with the Roman prisoner woman in Sinuessa, or adamantly pleading they go after Crixus to defend Rome.)

- "They fall to superior strategy and tactic!" That has got to be one of the stupidest lines uttered this entire season. Said by Crassus' tribune when they were shooting ballistae and catapults on their own men. I'll bet Crassus was thinking "what a tool" when he said it.

- I liked the little call back to the 1960 movie. "I am Spartacus!" Somehow I knew Gannicus was going to say that before he did. (However, in the Dark Knight Rises I also "knew" that, when some mercenary found Robin trying to free the cops and asked "who the hell are you", he was going to respond "I'm Batman", but that didn't happen.)

- In the end I can't really respect Laeta's character for so willingly giving herself to Spartacus. He did raid her village, kill every innocent life she knew, and personally killed her husband. It shouldn't matter what reasons he had, he still did something monstrous to her. I don't expect her to want to take vengeance, but at least to distance herself from him. At least Sepia, from season 2, stopped sleeping with Glaber (and even tried to kill him) when she found out he killed her brother. (And you could say that his reason was justified too; it would unify the army to take down the rebellion.)

- I thought Saxa continuing to stab soldiers while she was falling down dying was just hilarious

- I'm a little disappointed that Spartacus didn't really talk to Crassus about slavery in general. I was hoping he would do something like make him feel bad for owning human beings as possessions, since that's what the whole conflict is about anyway.

Got to agree on the death of Lugo, I thought it was the best death!

The I am Spartacus bit at the end with Andy was great, really was a nice touch.
