I still have an ugly cry headache.

Shit, you guys are making me want to finally hunt down The Shield.  Angel is my #1 finale, Spartacus is #2, and if The Shield can come close to either one…how many seasons is it? Like seven?

Sound tends to affect me more viscerally than sight, and you are spot on.

I really disagree with this. Crassus wants you to bend and break to his will so he himself can be glorified. Spartacus wants you to want to follow him believe in the cause as righteous, and doesn't seek glory for himself. The amazed look on his face when everyone started crowding around him to touch him and say thank…

@avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus Yeah, Sibyl was kind of pointless. I'll admit they didn't really have much time to develop her at all, and I probably would have pissed if they'd spent the limited time they did have doing so, but she's a character type I find deeply useless unless they can be developed.

Duuude maybe we can get McIntyre on the S.H.I.E.L.D. show.

I did watch the first ep when it was on Netflix, but the AVC convinced me to give it a go again. Like three months ago.

Also on the spectacularly shallow end, Spartacus charging up over that hill all filthy and bloody and enraged was scorchingly hot.

OMG someone cheated with their prediction!

I'm sure there are any number of orphans they can raise as their own.

You remind me, I always think Peter Mensah and Lance Reddick need to be cast as brothers in something.

Man, as soon as they started with old characters, I knew Whitfield was going to be the last shot and I still couldn't brace for it.  Varro punched me in the face, too.

I wished I'd picked it back up sooner.

I couldn't. I had to just let it unfold and beat me into the ground with the momentum.

Dude, and she went down stabbing that Roman asshole repeatedly, too. YES.

Right, who was it called that? Someone last week totally called Crassus and Caesar bullshitting it and letting Pompey take the victory even though they knew Spartacus was alive.  ish.

Like three times, I yelled at the screen, "THEY COULD STILL TOTALLY WIN THIS."

Where's the petition for a cast interview?

I KNOW I was just waiting for him to pull a hold-out dagger and stab her and then what the FUCK, man.

Fucking crucifixions, man. Eyes and ears covered as predicted and still cringing away from the screen like that would help him.
