Finally, Spartacus' reign of terror has ended. It's a pity his crimes took so many good people like Gannicus and Saxa with him.

I'm kinda sad though. Saxa died, Gannicus died and to add insult to injury Agron's twink and Gannicus' wimpy little girlfriend remain alive. Oh well, at least they didn't pull some bullshit and have the good guys lose.

xenist, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no internet points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

 

[publicpwnerer]

Quite possibly the greatest finale (And show) I've ever watched. Liam and Andy were both exceptional...more than exceptional, perfect.

I'm quite happy that there's been a community amongst GAF that appreciates this show. Thank you Starz, Deknight and everyone that watched and discussed it.

 

[I'm new be nice]

Agron's twink

That 'twink' could probably kick all our asses.

Edit: woosh

 

[Joni]

Cried like a little girl. I was expecting either Gannicus or Spartacus to survive and cause problems in Thrace or Gaul.

Would you guys honestly root for Ceaser or Crassus in a spinoff? I mean, both characters have redeeming qualities, but they've ultimately been portrayed as bad and aren't really protagonists.

Crassus and Pompey no, but Caesar has been clearly set-up as somewhat more redeemable: the way he treats Kore, his problems with Crassus.

You can't handle the truth.

epic ending

dont think gannicus got his glorious death... shit way to go

sexa... i mean saxa

 

[jerry113]

Holy shit, someone pointed out on reddit that Spartacus threw the spear at the Roman messenger to prevent him from stepping onto the trap. Genius.

I still can't decide whether the season 1 finale or this was better. I might have to give an edge to the season 1 finale because it was the first time the show's gloves came off.

oh a caesar series where he outwits both Pompey and Crassus will be glorious and then you can lead into an Antony/Cleopatra series..

make it so STARZ!

Before they go towards Antony/Cleopatra they need to handle the events of the Commentarii de Bello Gallico. The war between Caesar and Ambiorix for instance would be a perfect follow-up for the action of Spartacus.

How were the titties this season? That's a big reason I watch the show but I haven't seen this season and the last.

Like when he told Naveia where a slaves place was and rammed a sword through her?

 

[Joni]

Like when he told Naveia where a slaves place was and rammed a sword through her?

Like how he showed disgust at Crassus for bombing Roman troops. What he did to Naevia, was in essence very much justified for a Roman to do. A Caesar spin-off can also make him more likeable than he is now

He still wasnt a good guy. I'll root for Octavian.

 

[Gibbo]

amazing finale. i had a feeling that they were going with the spartacus dying route- but the events leading to that moment constantly kept me in the edge of my seat- and everything was far from predictable.

 

[Joni]

No, but he was redeemeable. And Octavian was 12 when Caesar died. We still have a lot of time to bridge before he shows up.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

actually makes a change for tv shows to actually end instead of dragging on for far to long

 

[CloudWolf]

Good finale. Kind of wish that Spartacus died at the hands of Crassus though, but whatever.

Like when he told Naveia where a slaves place was and rammed a sword through her?

I was cheering for Caesar when that happened. I have wanted to see her die since Vengeance.

 

[hamchan]

Amazing finale to an amazing show. Good to see that they didn't cop out in any way. You don't see many series finales being that satisfying goddamn. When Spartacus caught Crassus' sword I actually clapped my hands in excitement.

Spartacus forever! Sad this show is over but so damn happy we got 4 seasons of a fantastic show.

 

[Replicant]

Heh:

if this is sarcasm, youre not very good at it

 

[TrutaS]

Well history forced the show to have a bit of an anti-climatic ending, but it was well made even so.

yeah they handled it very well but the conversation between crassus and pompey points towards a spinoff i think. atleast i hope so.

 

[Enosh]

if this is sarcasm, youre not very good at it

well he and his people killed men women and children just for being roman, so can't really say he was all peachy

 

[Rubenov]

superb ending. 5/5 jupiter's cocks with an additional 2 cocks of mars

SUPER HYPED UP FOR TOTAL WAR ROME 2 !!! SHIETTT

This. I've decided to build a new rigg for RTWII. I'll create my own Julius Caesar spinoff.

 

[Froli]

The final episode fucking delivered. I love that finishing move by Crassus! only to be countered lol

 

[xenist]

Am I not allowed to be on the side of the Romans?

 

[DieH@rd]

It's not.

It's Lucy Lawless from this HILARIOUS behind-the-scenes video she did for the prequel season.

Anyway...I'm still processing that finale (and crying...just a little). Fucking brilliant end to the most unexpectedly good show I've watched in years.

Damn, that video is not available for my country. Can anyone provide alt link or dl link?

 

[RevDM]

Have we decided who the hottest babes of Spartacus are yet? Mira from S1 looks like Olivia Munn.

Saxa

Gotta feel sad for Agron when he tried to grip the sword...

 

[dragonelite]

Sybil's tities > All.

I like the way you think.
But saxa body > all body

Rip Spartacus so many feels has been a marvelous 3 years.

Saxa was well built. But Laeta was quite nice.

And red hair i love me some gingers.

 

[Sulla1980]

Am I not allowed to be on the side of the Romans?

At least this season gave us some Romans to cheer for.

 

[Bulk_Rate]

We need a GIF of Spartacus catching the sword in his hands and the doomface he gave Crassus immediately thereafter. That moment gave me goosebumps.

First serial series since BSG I religiously watched on broadcast night every week.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Great conclusion. The credits were a nice touch. Andy =(

 

[RS4-]

Loved the series, start to finish. Great run. Many tears throughout.

Best depiction of a large scale battle I have ever seen on TV, and the best series finale I have ever seen as well. Throughout the entire episode I was on the edge of my seat as I wondered whether or not the series would go all out like Inglourious Bastards. One of the best hours of TV I have ever witnessed!

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Wow, great finale to a great show. Aside from the first few episodes of season 1 this show has been some of the best television I've ever seen. I will miss it, but I am glad they concluded things so gracefully instead of drawing things out for extra seasons.

While watching the ending montage it made me realize just how many great and memorable characters this show has had. I thought the credits were a really nice touch.

 

[TheExodu5]

Just rewatched the Season 1 finale. Sorry, but it's still the best.

 

[Anbokr]

The final episode fucking delivered. I love that finishing move by Crassus! only to be countered lol

Yeah that was the ultimate moment for me. So well shot, perfect atmosphere. And I know I was thinking "O shit no here it comes, no fuck, he's going to gut him like the first dude." NOPE.

 

[Moaradin]

Just rewatched the Season 1 finale. Sorry, but it's still the best.

I think this episode topped it by a long shot. So many great moments in this episode.

 

[dragonelite]

I had the same though the moment he grabbed the sword.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

It was so well done, fooled me good.

 

[Zzoram]

Would you guys honestly root for Ceaser or Crassus in a spinoff? I mean, both characters have redeeming qualities, but they've ultimately been portrayed as bad and aren't really protagonists.

Rome had Vorenus and Pullo as anchors since the other Romans were kind of dicks.

People rooted for Batiatus even though he was a bad guy. The Roman politics were always an interesting part of the show.

 

[Zzoram]

The gif would be better if it also showed Crassus grabbing the sword first.

 

[kame-sennin]

This may have been the best series finale I have ever seen.

Also, I thought the depiction of a large scale battle was brilliantly done. How many films, let alone tv series, have depicted large scale battles as clearly as this episode did?
