It was great seeing Tullius getting what he deserved, especially from Gannicus after the stunt Tullius pulled on him at the party.

Seeing Asher finally become a legit gladiator at the Primus only to have it ripped from him by Crixus made me actually feel bad for him for the 1st time. He has every reason to hate Crixus as we see he does in Blood and Sand.

The final fight itself was amazing, probably the best fight scene of the series so far. Gannicus- :bow:

i was legit surprised at how it ended. i really thought they'd have Crixus and Gannicus face off with Gannicus dieing.

last line of the show might as well have been "See you in season 2, Gannicus!"

I thought the same until I found out that Gannicus, Crixus, and Oeunamaeus were all generals in Spartacus' slave army in history. The writers said they want to be somewhat true to history so the ending makes sense. I wish we could have seen a Spartacus/Gannicus fight, that would have been epic.

My guess is that Asher, Ilythia, and the legatace, Glauber will be the main enemies for the early uprising in season two. I hope they Glauber similiar treatment to Tullius when they find him.

I knew Spartacus, Crixus, and Oenanaus were the main generals. didn't know Gannicus was. thanks for the info.

kicking Glaber's ass was relatively early on in the war. the two main dudes for the season should be Pompey and Crassus.

Ilythia isn't a historical person i've ever found, but it's the name of the goddess of fertility. if you notice in season 1, she kisses Xena, and a weird sound effect plays. shortly after she is pregnant. then she kisses her again, and the sound plays, and she loses the baby. so i dunno what they're doing with that character, it's weird.

I'd bet you that Asher will tell Crassus that Spartacus and the other gladiators are to blame for the death of his cousin at the villa.

I read an interview by the actor who plays Asher and he alludes to his character getting revenge on Crixus in season two, or at least an attempt at it.

This show has great writers. Will miss Batiatus, hopefully someone just as cutthroat will emerge next season to take his place.

I have a sneaking feeling we haven't seen the last of lucy lawless....

I hadn't noticed at the time of the finale of season one but her fingers were definetly moving in that last shot they replayed.
