When we get to the season ending I like an ending — not a cliffhanger — especially considering how long you have to wait before the next season.
It kind of deflates it. So, I like to put an exclamation point on the endings, but still have that feel that more is coming, which we did at the end of season one.
And, of course, at the end of this season. DeKnight: When I suggested the subtitle of Vengeance — and doing each season with a different subtitle has proven to be my best worst idea because I love the concept, but getting everybody to agree on the subtitle is just a monstrous task.
And we went round and round about Vengeance. There was a faction among Starz — and the executive producers and I agree with them — that vengeance is not a heroic ideal. For me that is exactly what I wanted, practically everybody this season has an axe to grind with someone.
And I also wanted that idea, that when you get to the end and you look back, that Spartacus really slowly moves away from the concept of vengeance and starts to put the group ahead of his own passions. So yeah, vengeance ultimately is very empty once you have it. Once you exact that vengeance it is a hollow feeling. E-mail: Jethro. Nededog thr. Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day.

You got to have your cake and eat it too since Lucretia had a hand in that as well. Yeah, considering how Ashur had turned the tables on her and was abusing her. We have a reputation of killing anybody at any time, but 99 percent of the time you get a great send off.
And Oenomaus, historically he died fairly early on during the revolt. Was there any thought about keeping him around? He was historically the first to fall. Deciding whether to kill a character is not percent based on their character, but their relationship with other characters.
Like Naevia with Ashur. For Oenomaus, it needed to be a Gannicus moment. It will help cement Gannicus staying with the rebels. Was that exact ending always the one you had in mind? Her plan was always to take that baby to the afterlife and deliver it to her husband.
Next: Is Ilithyia really dead? How Julius Caesar will be like Gannicus. Spartacus comes up with a plan to ambush the Roman encampment. They weave rappelling vines and Spartacus, Agron , Crixus, and Gannicus descend down the mountain behind the Roman guards.
At the bottom of their descent, they kill the surrounding soldiers and take control of the siege weapons to set fire to the camp and leave the roman legion in disarray. Glaber organizes his men and has them confront the four rebel leaders with whom he lock eyes with before ordering his men to kill them. As they charge, the rest of the rebels led by Oenomaus join the battle, blindsiding and attacking the romans from the side. Spartacus and the other leaders then join the fray.
Meanwhile, Ilithyia is about to push Lucretia who was discarding her red wig from the ludus' balcony when her water breaks and Lucretia is forced to help Ilithyia deliver her baby. However, Lucretia leaves briefly and returns covered in blood, clearly unhinged.
After killing the last of Ilithyia's slaves , Lucretia cuts Ilithyia's newborn son from her womb and commits suicide by jumping off the ludus' cliff with the baby in her hands. Ilithyia, witnessing all this, collapses and dies from shock and a large loss of blood. The Egyptian meets his end at Gannicus ' sword. The battle between Glaber's forces and the Rebels in the forest rages on until glaber notices the rebels are winning and orders his forces to retreat.
Noticing this, Spartacus shouts to his army "Press advantage! And see victory ours!!! Gannicus advances on the Egyptian mercenary but is thrown to the ground. He is saved by Oenomaus who growls at the Egyptian, "I owe you pain", punching the mercenary in his stomach. With that, Oenomaus gets Gannicus to his feet and they simultaneously battle The Egyptian and Roman soldiers. They land decisive blows on their enemies however despite their teamwork the mercenary briefly gains the upper hand with Gannicus being knocked to the ground and Oenomaus fatally wounded from a stab to the abdomen.
This enrages Gannicus and spurs him on to break free of nearby Romans and charge at the mercenary, who he manages to overwhelm and kill by hacking his head almost in half. Afterwards, Gannicus runs to the dying Oenomaus who says that he goes to his wife's arms and they will embrace him in the afterlife as a brother, he takes his last breath and dies in Gannicus' arms. Back at the Temple, Glaber is attempting to order his men to maintain their position until the rebels climb the wall and attack the romans showing no mercy to their enemies.
Spartacus soon notices Glaber and begins to move in on him killing any roman or mercenary standing in his way as he does so Salvius tries to stand in his way but he is killed when Spartacus stabs him and bashes head in revenge for killing Mira.
Glaber 's death by Spartacus. Spartacus then engages Glaber on an evenly matched one-on-one sword fight.
