"what happened to his body?"... Now how is that sentence so difficult to comprehend for you?

For me, it will always be Spartacus above everything else, the beautiful acting, the incredible characters, the amazing (and true) story, the romance, and everything in spartacus just left me shaking and often in tears after every episode, most people dismiss spartacus as porn and violence, which is really unfortunate, you're missing out on a fantastic adventure full of shining examples of the human spirit, this show has really inspired me and the story of spartacus is absolutely incredible.

Game of thrones is a fantastic show, i have nothing bad to say about it really (everyone else here feels the need to slander the other show it seems) i just don't connect with the characters as well, everytime a character in spartacus died, my heart would stop and i would have to fight back tears, when spartacus fell i was noticeably weeping, my mother also watches spartacus and she stayed in bed for 3 days after the spartacus finale it affected her so much, it was almost as if we had lost a close friend, Steven Deknight did a fantastic job at getting the audience to LOVE not like the characters in spartacus, each had a purpose , and all of them went violently, it was a beautiful tragedy, it just goes to show you what the oppressed can overcome, and never to doubt what a SINGLE man can accomplish.

The “I Am Spartacus” opening was a great nod to the Stanley Kubrick classic and also plays well into the strategy being used to confuse both Crassus and Pompey. There’s a sense of unity in those opening moments that will last right through until the ending credits complete. Not only unity amongst those alive to fight in the final battle, but between those who fought for a cause that saw its genesis in Capua. With just under sixty minutes to work with there is a lot of skillful editing and writing that went into ensuring that no one was forgotten.
Why We’ll Miss Spartacus

Similar to “Separate Paths” there was a feeling of finality in the decisions being made and the conversations being had prior to battle. Every scene holds extra weight considering the overwhelming odds that Spartacus and his rebels are up against. Yet, there is also an eerie sense of acceptance in the Spartacus camp. Everyone knows in the next few hours, live or die, their long journey will be over and they will be free. That simplicity, clarity, of what has to happen next is rare and somewhat refreshing for the series.

Agron has proven to be a hard man to keep down throughout the series and in the finale his surprising resilience continues. Nasir’s ingenuity keeps Agron from having to sit the final battle out. Considering the events of the past few weeks it would be hard to imagine Agron surviving all of that only to fall or sit out the final battle. If there was going to be a survivor, it was going to be Agron and I’m glad Nasir made it out alive as well.

Spartacus and Crassus’ little one-on-one pow-wow before the final battle was a great addition and absolutely essential. We’ve watched as these two have bested each other in strategy so it was good to finally see them both have an important, if brief, conversation about everything that has led up to this point. The conversation strengthened both the similarities and differences between the two and added a bit more of a personal flavor to the rivalry before they would meet in the heat of battle; almost like a weigh in before a boxing match. It also doubled as a key moment for Crassus to discover the truth about what happened to Tiberius, which I imagine was a big part of his reason for meeting with Spartacus.
Crassus’ discovery of what Tiberius had been up to the last few weeks was handled well. As expected, reason overcame mad rage when he discovered the truth. Crushing the mold of Tiberius’ face gives the hint that his son would be wiped from history and is the reason we don’t know about him today. Clever! His handling of Kore was well within character as well. The cruel loyalty he has to the Republic fuels every decision he makes, and as such he has Kore crucified for her brief betrayal. I think there is a part of Crassus that grasps that his unwavering loyalty to the Republic is what led to the corrupt relationship with his son but at this point I think he’s too far gone to ever change.

The final battle between Spartacus’ rebels and Crassus’ army is one of the best productions of epic warfare I have ever seen on the small screen. It’s been just under a year since the phenomenal depiction of The Battle of Blackwater Bay on Game of Thrones and I’m confident in saying that “Victory” matches the quality of “Blackwater.” The sheer scale of the proceedings taking place is massive and holding the final battle in daylight instead of under the shadow of night makes the magic behind the presentation all the more fantastic. Obviously there are plenty of camera tricks, CG for background extras, and other special effects being used, but you will be hard pressed to notice any of it.

The entire sequence, and it’s a long sequence, is beautifully rendered for television. I recall my very first review of Spartacus: Blood and Sand in which I mentioned the shallow attempt the series took to mimic both 300 and Gladiator. Over the years the show has slowly evolved into its own beast, creating its own visual style, and it has culminated here with an outstanding display of action, emotion and bloodshed. The framing of every movement is handled skillfully with no more camera shake than required to create the illusion of chaos. You’re entrenched in the brutal action and therefore entrenched in the agony and pain as, one-by-one, you watch as the rebels, once slaves, are bested by the overwhelming forces of Marcus Crassus.
War of the Damned has done a great job of depicting tactical military warfare on a large scale and the opening of the battle here is no exception. The opening trebuchet bombardment was an exceptional show of force by the Romans and emphasized how outmatched the rebels were. Spartacus endures however and skillfully lures the Roman soldiers into close quarters warfare with many falling into a spiky trench of certain death.

Lugo is a titan on the battlefield and his death was striking as he continued to fight after being lit ablaze. It’s a phenomenal visual and such a badass way to go. Watching Saxa finally succumb to the overwhelming numbers was hard to watch. She has been great these past couple of seasons but there was no way she was making it out of this battle alive. Naevia’s death felt like release for her character. She looked frightened, angry but also satisfied to die a warrior’s death.

Well, we got our wish, Gannicus versus Caesar, and it was a little bit of a letdown. Their initial swordplay was good but Caesar eventually used his troops to coral and pick away at Gannicus’ defenses. It was a little disappointing to see Gannicus not fall in battle the way you’d expect him. Much like Crixus, you want to see him fall with a sword in his hand. Instead he ends up being one of the crucified along the Appian Way. However, it was good to see that in his final moments he recalled better days as a God of the Arena with an approving Oenomaus looking up at him.

The Crassus versus Spartacus fight did not disappoint. We’ve watched as Crassus has prepared for this moment since “Enemies of Rome” and he was absolutely equipped to match Spartacus blow for blow. As I’ve said every season, there is some fantastic fight choreography on this show and the series finale was no exception. The emotional energy from both McIntyre and Merrells also lends plenty of weight to every movement of this pivotal fight. Sadly, and much like Crixus, the final blow to Spartacus did not come from the man facing him but from a spear in the back. It’s tough to watch but Spartacus is near impossible to defeat in one-on-one combat.
There are a lot of visions and memories of those who have long since died. It was crazy seeing Varro again and that certainly brought back a lot of emotions from Season 1/Blood and Sand. Seeing those snippets from the past did a lot to give the series a sense of completion and was a great reminder of how long and grueling this journey has been from Spartacus.

Crassus manages to escape with only minor injuries and his story, along with Caesar’s is wrapped up rather quickly. There are obviously a lot of threads left hanging that could lead into a potential spinoff series. Crassus not being bothered with Pompey getting credit for the victory hints at greater machinations that we may potentially see going forward and I would definitely be excited to see more of that.
As for Spartacus, his final moments before death were peaceful and he was surrounded by those he cared about and fought for till the end. I loved that he acknowledged the fact that Spartacus was his given name and that he looked forward to being called by his real name again. The whole final scene was a fantastic and touching moment. A rather peaceful death for such a fearful warrior and at least he died knowing that some of the people he tried to protect made it out alive. It’s a small victory, but it’s something. Agron definitely said it best when he mentioned that Spartacus would be remembered long after the fall of Rome.

Sitting down and watching the end credits recap all the great moments and characters from the entire series was bittersweet, ending with one last look at Andy Whitfield as Spartacus. I think we’re all going to miss Spartacus and I hope that more people discover this series over time. There have been other sword and sandal epics over the years but Spartacus stands above them all as a true achievement. Hopefully Starz will treat us with more of their style of recreated history soon.

Spartacus fans, be sure to check out our post-finale interview with series creator Steven DeKnight, as he discusses how all the big decisions on each character were made and the possibility of a Caesar and Crassus-centered spinoff.

Spartacus is a series you won't want to skip/fast forward any scene. Never boring moment but others....... unnecessary stories are too much.

watch game of thrones b4 u talk

penzino: watch game of thrones b4 u talk

Abi. You guys should stop rating spartacus above game of throne when you havent watch game of throne.

seun you are,one of those nigerians who love america.
Disgraceful

U people neva watch game of thrones dats why u
Dy rate spartacus pass.......both make sense sha...lol[color=#000099][/color]

game of thrones is for those who really understand what politics is about not those looking for a cheap thrill,i guess most people love spartacus because of the violence,sex and vulgarity.i read something someone siad about the age bracket of those watching G.O.T,really?,you think kids would love got more than spartacus,kids are the ones buying spartacus because it just porn and gory violence and for those looking for memorable lines,let me post some,i know you will feel the flavor:
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.

There is only one god and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: “Not today

Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you

The common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.

If you’re going to be a cripple, it’s better to be a rich cripple.

Spartacus is pure violence and nudity, both in action and in words, u dnt hav 2 tink, jst watch and enjoy. Its real life practical xperience is limited 2 sex and physical combats
But if u like politics, scheming, mindgamesn then game of thrones is 4 u. Dat story is '48 laws of power' in practical action. Its practical xperience is in d circle of power.

4get abt d punch lines(which I prefer game of thrones's sacarsm by the way) d wot u learn 4rm the movie

Game of thrones is 4 d presidents, ministers and senators while spartacus is for the army, police and the force.

U nid 2 watch dat movie more than 2wice 4 u 2 grasp wot is happening jst like LOST, I guess dats y it throws most pple of balance and come off as borin 2 them.

Na GAME OF THRONES make more sense.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Hope say u don watch am now

Spartacus all day long..... just watched 30 episodes of GOT over the weekend

Its like reading 3 different books leading to nowhere

After watching 3 seasons in a row, I felt ok what next?

After watching Vengeance (alone) the hair on my body stood up!!! looking forward to the next season.

I've seen a lot of deliberation about who wins out of the GoT guys and the Spartacus guys.. But I have a verdict, what's yours?

Factors to consider:
GoT - Valyrian steel, better armour
Spartacus - Unequalled training

So..

Spartacus Vs Karl Drogo
Both hard as nails.. Both have little armour so there are no unfair advantages. Drogo is huge and fast but Spartacus is Deadly. His skill is unequaled and although it would be a long fight, Spartacus's ingenuity and fierce skill would find a weak spot in his opponent.

The Egyption Vs The Mountain
The Egyption. The mountain is heavily armoured but slow.. The Egyption is super strong and fast.. He'd be able to take full advantage of his speed and his weapons.

Crixus Vs The Hound
Crixus 100% the hound can fight well but I don't think he's as strong as Crixus and he's not as fast. He has better armour and a big sword but Crixus defeated so many heavily armoured and big guys as champion. I think he gets my vote.

Onnineaus Vs Selmy
I wanna say Selmy because he's obviously a renowned and worthy knight.. But Onnineaus is trained the finest gladiators and was the only man to stand against Theocules and live. He has my vote.

Gannicus Vs Jaimie Lannister
This should be a tough decision but Gannicus is just too much of a tank. His skill is just crazy. He beat a guy blindfolded.. Jaimie would soon go crying to his daddy.

Agron Vs Jon Snow
This is a little tougher.. Job Snow's a capable warrior and I don't think Agron can match Gannicus and Spartacus ect but he's still pretty damn tough. I think his training gives him the advantage here tho

Lugo Vs Ned Stark
Now, Lugo is a tough SOB. With his Hammer, he's pretty tough to even get close to.. But Ned is a seasons swordsman and he'd put up one hell of a fight. Still, Lugo is so tough.. He'd end up winning I think.

Krassus Vs Tywin
This one interests me. Both are commanding characters and both would HATE each other.. Krassus would easily win in combat but a battle of brains..


The only thing GOT have over Spartacus is the Women. GOT have more beautiful women

obviously biased mtcheew.
Strength and bulk doesn't always win fights. You need to be smart and disciplined too.
When you pair a knight of the kings guard against a pit fighter, then you'll know that discipline wins fights.
Can't even believe you think Onea-whatever will best Barristan Selmy.
GOT has disciplined fighters. Spartacus has blood thirsty fighters(who'll eventually tire)
You can liken the latter to wildlings sef.

Yes, that is why Spartacus cannot get even one single nomination in the elite awards like the Emmys and Golden Globes while Game of Thrones continues to sweep awards. See how you're embarrassing yourself. Spartacus is an amateurish series that caters to a certain kind of audience who either lack or don't the patience to grasp an intricate plotline. Game of Thrones is a mature, elite series. They are not close to being on the same level at all. People that love Spartacus are likely to love crappy series like Merlin, Legend of the Seeker etc. They're also likely to love WWE Wrestling.

Are you fucking kidding me? Really? I have been disappointed by hypey movies, but none comes close to GOT. And to think that some actually love that Season 1! Boringness seems to be hereditary for some people. Smh
