- Promo pics for this week's episode (facebook, nothing too spoilerish in there as far as I can tell)
Gannicus needs to achieve the dream that is sleeping with Sibyl or both Sibyl and Saxa before end of season.
I would be on board for a Ceaser spin off with Gannicus as his bodyguard tearing up Gaul
I used to like Crixus until Naevia ruined him but at least he is being badass in Arrow

Gannicus and Caesar in Galia... Could work.

Naevia was definitely a damper on him but I think he came back strong in the last episode and will continue that way until the bitter end. I hope

oh that's just great........
on another note, I can't really see a Cesear spin-off...I thought they would've made him to be more noble and honourable than he is currently characterized as. But it seemed he was in on Crassus handing Laeta off to Heracleo.
It would have been great had we had a scene where he took a stand against Crassus regarding this issue, so at least we'd have that parallel between him and Spartacus and see he's generally a good guy and someone the majority would root for in his own story.
I guess it was more important to get Laeta to Spartacus' camp so we can get that inevitable sex scene lol

Wow, that episode looked fantastic. Some really attractive shots. Loved when they showed the point of view of the Roman soldiers looking out into the frozen wilderness. Also that mug smash and the fist-fight after it was awesome.

really? saw that coming a mile away
Best episode so far for me. The rebels finally getting something close to a win was overdue. Until now the season felt like the Crassus-Caesar show.
Half suspected Spartacus saving Naevia would lead to a jealousy bit, or at least lead to her stop urging Crixus to split. But then that awesome fight happens anyway.
Gannicus boning Sybil seemed a little odd. I thought there was a whole protective older sibling vibe on his part. Poor Saxa. She should've snuggled up to Spartacus with Laeta.
Caesar standing up to Crassus and Tiberius was a good moment. The season has lacked the Roman in-fighting that made the other seasons so great. But its a little late. If they all survive, it would be interesting to see Caesar take them on with his own schemes.
If Kore tries to kill Spartacus just for Crassus then that'll be really disappointing. Maybe she'll be the one to kill Tiberius instead.

I knew they would, it just doesn't make sense why.

but isn't Gannicus a womanizer and the previous episode is good enough for the writers to have intimacy between the two.
and she's cute
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
You know, throughout the season, I never really thought about that character in any sexual way... idk guess she didn't really seem all that appealing in that way, but apparently just seeing nice tits is all it takes.
lol
she was always beautiful to me .... and those are some nice tits too

When they showed the bridge made out of bodies (which was totally gruesome and also kind of awesome), I noticed that the camera zoomed in on a dead woman that looked an awful lot like Kore, but it wasn't her right?
I thought that was a really great scene as well.
People are freezing to death in Spartacus' camp even when they're wrapped up in blankets and huddled together in tents, and yet Gannicus is lying in the snow, fucking a topless Sybil underneath...what was that, a wagon? Some kind of board with a bit of cloth stuck to it? In the middle of a blizzard. And they survived. wat
It also sort of bothered me that when people were walking around camp, they were barely wearing anything at all. Many of the guys were wearing little more than some briefs and leg protectors and they weren't even trying to wrap themselves up in blankets, tents, fur, etc. I realize that they didn't plan on going into the mountains, and thus didn't have any time to gather up warm clothes, but it seemed strange to me that the cold didn't seem to bother them much.

Sybil is alive though.
I think the people wearing the least amount of clothing were the surviving germans like lugo and saxa for example were both doing just fine.
And most of the thousand that died looked like the malnourished slaves they freed rather than the in shape fighters. Plus you can't really expect them to kill off anyone important with a blizzard they just needed gannicus and sybil to get together away from saxa so they can fuck.
On another note, Kore is really interesting at this point I think the point of the dagger was to escape and its not going to come up again. However, we never found out what exactly she planned with Ceaser. I doubt she would get herself killed just so he can get glory in defeating spartacus. Like Crassus would let him live to see the day if he ever found out.

I'm kind of disappointed that Gannicus fell for the predictable "bang the doe-eyed tart who's been following you around all season" trope. Saxa didn't deserve that. And how boring it was to see Gannicus make a pattern of betraying those closest to him by sleeping with the wrong woman. Not the deftest writing this series has seen.
It's also a bit of a letdown that Kore defected to Spartacus's side. I was ready for her to reveal to Crassus how Tiberius raped her. Yes, that would have been as predictable as the Gannicus thing, but this show could use some more father-son tension at this point. Now the girl will probably
Then again,
I guess that might be OK.

be crucified in a melodramatic fashion at the end of the season, and Crassus will be so sad, and everyone will be so, so sad.
Kore's escape could be a Clever Stratagem™ that she developed with Caesar toward some vengeful purpose we'll discover later on.
Not her, the girl she was praying next to.

wait what? they won pretty much everything and even when they "lost" they didn't loose anyone, not even an unnamed extra while murdering hundreds, so the "loses" are more of a draw if anything

Raging Crixus was by far the best part of this episode. Goddamn. Also liking prep time Crassus.
Only disappointment of the episode? Navea not dying during the failed night attack. Very disappointing.
