How does spartacus end

I knew that Spartacus would die and the Romans would win but seeing how the show got to that end point was gripping. I have never been so emotionally invested in any TV series, and I have seen some good ones. Thanks for writing this and putting into words some of my thoughts. Spartacus may be one of the most under-rated shows of all time.

It is brilliant. Brilliant Show,watched it quite a few times. I may be a little late to the party but just finished the finale and have also just finished crying like a little girl too. So bitter sweet it hurts. A truly wonderful show x. I loved this series so much. I miss it still. Most people seemed to see the violence or the nudity but, damn, all these people felt real!

I stopped watching Spartacus with Gods of the Arena a few years back. My heart still aches today, but I find some comfort every time I see a butterfly. A couple of years later I started watching Spartacus again from the beginning and it felt so cringy seeing him being intimate with Sura.

I brought myself into watching the prequel with Gannicus and I ended up disliking him even more for what happened with Oenomaus and Melitta AND getting away with walking a free man. Here we are today, years later, watching the last episode of the Spartacus saga, crying my eyes out and sobbing uncontrollably for Gannicus. I never imagined I could get to love his character so much in the end. On the other hand, I felt totally disconnected from Spartacus because of Liam throughout the remainder of the series.

His voice, his intonation, his manner but pale shadows of what Andy brought to the character. As for the injuries that ultimately claimed Spartacus' life, DeKnight wanted to highlight a connection to Crixus in that both titans only fell after being attacked from behind, too skilled to lose otherwise.

Despite Spartacus' weakened condition in fighting Crassus, DeKnight wanted to highlight that Spartacus still bested Crassus, and ultimately won the man's full respect. As for the finale's other major deaths, DeKnight revealed that Gannicus' final moments went through multiple iterations as well, before finally landing on the moment of the crucified character hallucinating his fallen friend Oenomaus Peter Mensah and a return to the arena that championed his name.

Fans were eager to see if the reluctantly heroic Gannicus ultimately survived, but DeKnight explains history largely tied his hands, especially as Gannicus had been due to fall much earlier. Naevia Cynthia Addai-Robinson too was considered to survive, though DeKnight ultimately felt her story ended with Crixus' passing. Surprisingly, the biggest survivors of the finale were Agron and Nasir, a fan-favorite couple nearly torn apart in earlier episodes when Agron faced crucifixion at the hands of the Romans.

DeKnight liked the idea of Agron being the last gladiator of the Ludus to survive at Spartacus' side, and joked about he and Nasir finally getting the goat farm they'd alluded to in the past. Laeta and Sibyl also survived the event, and were considered to be revealed as pregnant, though DeKnight ultimately thought the idea to be "too TV. You always dream about having that opportunity, and obviously that comes up once in a blue moon.

Will you stick with the swords-and-sandals genre? Any chance we could see a Julius Caesar spinoff? You never know. In the halls of Starz, we often whisper about a spinoff.

The look and the feel of the show would be a natural candidate for a spinoff down the road. Do you see Spartacus as having set the tone for the future of Starz? I just finished reading the pilot for the Treasure Island prequel, and I could not have loved it more. Spartacus: War of the Damned will premiere in January. Check out a teaser, below. Email: Lesley.
