Well...things are going well :/
Gannicus should bail. Screw these savages.

Good episode. Lil weird all the suspicion of Caesar just up and disappeared.
Will someone fucking kill Naevia already. I thought Caesar was going to do it with the knife. I was ready to proclaim him king of awesome.
Saxa proved to be a total bro. Hopefully she'll live.
The scenes with Spartacus and Laeta are pretty good. Show needs more of those, actually it needs more Spartacus in general. The whole gotta-figure out food bit is getting old. Maybe all this shit going down will spur him into being much more involved in the day to day. People needed to be reminded of who the real big dick is.

Naevia is such a horrible character. :/ I can't even stand to look at her face. Die already. And Crixus, what the fuck. :| I've been rewatching Season 1, this is not something he would've done. I don't understand what's going on with him, this show is becoming a mess. And the dialogue borders on being a parody of S1 as well, it's starting to grate.

The 'Decimation' scene was one of the most gruesome and brutal and sad things the show has ever done. Holy shit snacks. The Roman army stuff is proving to be more compelling than the Spartacus side of things this season.
Naevia is really getting on my nerves. I was hoping that Caesar was throwing his knife at her instead of the slave guy who was choking Nemetes. Speaking of, I used to like Nemetes but now that he's (become) a mean raper, I'm rooting against him. I was actually hoping that Caesar would let him get choked to death.
And this was the first episode where I was actually really digging Caesar. I hope they make that spin off.

Didn't Crixus go down that path in real life?
He is a changed man because of what happened to him in season 1. He's always been in this for the killing of Romans. And Naevia is what drives him. And she is twisted from the abuse she endured. Behind every man is a woman. When that woman has been abused by a group of people you already hate, I can see a man really hating them.

Man this is getting hard to watch 
. I know it's historical and logical like I've said before, but it sucks to see the guys you cheer(ed?) for start to dismember each other and turn to savagery... Really really hope Naevia dies soon. I was hoping Gannicus would kill her or that Caesar put that knife through her.
The suspicion of Caesar disappeared when the mob formed, the hive mind thought only of slaughtering the Romans.
Yeah I agree, Crixus was always the rash bloodthirsty one, and he will always follow Naevia. I really want to see Spartacus kick some more ass though, so far he's getting completely drowned out by Caesar, Crassus, Crixus, and Gannicus. It's almost like he doesn't exist with all of his scenes showing him just chillin' in the villa.

This looks pretty good. Spartacus going spec-ops on the Romans.
Yeah, Casear earning his show. I doubt they'll risk him losing fan support by killing any of the 'noble' popular characters like Gannicus or Spartacus, or even Agron, but it could be why there's such a heavy emphasis on making Naevia and Nemetes so unlikeable.

I think that smirk by Ceasar at the end says all
having him go undercover in the rebel city was a very good idea, gets him to fight some of the main characters early on without necessarily having to "loose" each time in order for them to survive
decimation was brutal, but I guess that's the whole point of the thing in the first place
and Naevia needs to get murdered in a brutal way
it's funny how she is digging her own hole all the time with her bullshit

I thought she killed him given that he was just lying there
christ I would hate her so much more
I am annoyed but the crixus naevia situation as well. The a/v club review said it perfectly when they wrote that it seems like their arc is complete and the characters are being forced to do those things just to service the plot and not to do justice to their characters. A little disappointing because Crixus was awesome and the real naevia would have realized she was doing the wrong thing (even naevia from last season would have).
They are just acting stupid to forward the plot and its hard to watch. If Gannicus died that was it for me.
Episode was very good but this season has been a huge downer so far we all know how it ends but give us something to cheer about.

Historical spoiler:
Crixus died in the battle against Romans before arrival of Spartacus' army. Spartacus forced surviving Roman soldiers to fight like gladiators in the honor of Crixus.

I hope Gannicus remembers Naevia and Crixus so to hand out deserved fate
Scare the soldiers. In essence it is meant to teach them it doesn't serve to retreat because you're scared of dying. You'll die an horrible death when you return.
On the other hand it is stupid to complain about how Crixus and Naeva act because it suits the historical Crixus better.
True
I'm still wondering what path they shall follow. In reality some people claim Crixus and Spartacus' split was part of a huge master plan that failed.

Really good episode. And yes, bring on the Caesar-spinoff already.

I've tried, I really have but it's now come to a point where I can no longer bare to watch any scene that Naavia is in.
Her mere presence on screen has me reaching for the remote. I can safely say, I have never hated any single character in any show as much as I hate her.

I welcome such a move. In fact, I'll throw a party if this happens. She is just so unbelievable unbearable.
It might not have been so bad if the original actress hadn't left, but I still feel the character's direction since season 1 has been terrible. Terrible writing, terrible acting, terrible chemistry, terrible on screen presence, terrible scowl, she's just terrible.

Looks like Tiberius wont get a love scene with his buddy afterall!

Maybe it was me being naive, but I think they were never lovers. I mean they obviously have some feelings for each other, but I don't think they never did something about those feelings, something about how Tiberius always is/was looking for his father approval tells me that he didn't do it for the fear that he has to his father
Their relationship was a nice way to show the difference in how friends were back then versus now. I don't think they were lovers.
For some good ten minutes i thought Nevia had killed Gannius, we dodged a bullet here.
Didn't expect Tiberius's bro to die so soon (though i was obvious it was going to happen once they talked about the decimation and how he didn't deserve it, etc) , i thought the writers wanted to explore their relationship more.

I want Saxa to kill Naevia. Did Saxa even learn of how Naevia hit him over the head with a rock? I hope Saxa gets revenge and guts her.

That'd be pretty interesting. Naevia is becoming toxic enough for Crixus to swerve off the path. At least Gannicus keeps his cool.

At this point when in the end
I love how historically accurate, in their own way, they are. I loved Caesar's aside about the Cilician pirates. I love the Spartacus/Crixus rift. Even if Crassus' decimation was more severe in real life.
Crassus curbstomps everybody I hope Ganicus and Saxa will have said "fuck these guys" to the slaves and went away to be cool together.

Wha? Wasn't his slave cutting his groin area in episode 1 (or was it 2?) because he needed a scar/story to tell Spartacus?
