    Episode 4:

    That was a grim episode. Naevia (the 'mad bitch', as Gannicus so eloquently put it) makes my blood boil. I was worried she would end up killing Gannicus and was kind of hoping Caesar's knife was meant for her.

    Also, I feel sad for Sabinus. All the guy ever did was be a good friend and look what it got him. As soon as Crassus asked Tiberius to include himself in the punishment, I knew the poor guy's fate was sealed. Dammit Tiberius, you had one God damn order and you couldn't even follow that!

    Man, fuck the Romans. To me, this was the best episode since season 1. Season 2 definitely had its great moments, but the combination of nerve-wreaking intrigue, moral ambiguity and relentless brutality has not been achieve in intensity or quality of mix since season 1. Until now that is. Fuck the Romans but I'll I felt bad both for the pussies who ran and for the shackled slaves who got slaughtered.

    I think Naevia is now my most hated character in the series, even more than Lucretia in season 1 (not season 2).

    Insta-edit: How could I forget to mention, Gannicus is fucking boss. He owned the shit out of Crixus.
    "You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    Indeed it was. Easily the best episode out of season 2 and 3 thus far.

    What I liked even better was how he tripped Naevia WHILE he was owning Crixus. Like "Fuck off, I am busy here".

    Also, I don't particularly hate the Romans here as I did in Season 1 and 2. The stakes are high for both sides and Crassus and Caesar understand this well. Who knows how much damage Spartacus can do against Rome itself if he is victorious, what with the majority of the Republic's forces occupied with foreign conflict.

    Although I don't care much for the troops that actually fled, I do feel for Sabinus who did no wrong and yet was one of the unfortunate victims of the brutal punishment. As much as I have hated Tiberius thus far, I even pitied him here.
