Anyone looking forward to this? I finished season 3 a few weeks ago and loved it. Even without Andy it's a good season, the dude who replaced him does a good job plus with Andy only being in season 1 it's easy to 'forget' about him.
Season 4 is confirmed as the last one, everyone must die. Thoughts?
I've been watching this show since it aired and love it. It's got nearly everything I enjoy from a TV show, minus the aliens and space ships.
Season 4 (what would actually be Season 3 (Gods of the Arena was a Sequel)) is the last one yeah, though I don't believe everyone is going to die. Whilst the show portrays history well, there are intentional inconsistencies; Oenomaus for example was historically a Caucasian Gaul (same nationality as Crixus). Obviously within this show, he was neither.
I can't find any historical mention of Agron or Gannicus either, thus his fate remains unclear (as do half the backup cast). History doesn't seem to recall what actually happens to Spartacus, although:
Spoiler:
Later in the war, Crixus and Spartacus split the army; Crixus takes half and eventually (after many successful wins), suffers a defeat and his death.
It'll be interesting to see whether the producers follow this through.
I'm currently three episodes in. Shame there are only ten in total.

Agreed, lasers would also work.

It would be a poor ending if everyone lives, the majority must surely be killed off. The show may not be historically accurate however the part where "everyone and Spartacus dies" is a large part to miss in my eyes. Although I will be shouting at my TV when spartacus finally goes down.
I want to see how Gannicus is going to play out. He wasn't too keen on their cause, his best mate is dead and he has had a lot of screen time with the second season alone.

I fully expect a whole load of people to be killed off as the show goes on, but I don't expect one of those people to be Spartacus. Historically, there is no evidence to suggest that he was defeated. His army was, but he was never mentioned as being killed. Thus, either he's going to abandon the rebellion, or he'll suffer that great a defeat, that he'll retreat. I'm sensing some 'to-be' chemistry between him and that Roman woman too. Whether that'll have anything to do with it remains to be seen.

I too am looking to see how the show develops with Gannicus. It'll either swing two ways; he'll go down fighting, or he'll leave the rebellion and go and make another life for himself. He's with the rebellion, somewhat to honor the memory of Oenomaus, yet I think Gannicus has his limits.
You know, last season wasn't my favorite at all. I really missed Andy. Not saying is wasn't good because it was, just Andy played the role to well, I felt the passion he had for it and I just couldn't feel it with Liam with the last season (but this season I can). Not to mention actress change with Neavia too :[
But so far I'm in love with this season! In a way a feel it's a completely different show, in a good way though.
I love Marcus Crassus. He's smart, he doesn't underestimate his enemies. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him. I always wanted to see a character like him who wasn't constantly drinking and fraking (Love Gannicus though, ha!) or wasn't a total douche like Glaber. Then again, who knows, his character may prove me wrong.
Is everyone going to die? I doubt it. I assume at least a few will live.

Do you mean the blonde bitch? Glabers widow? Can't remember her name...

I think he's gone too far to go back now, he fights for honour and I think that he is slowly being converted. He's probably just after a worthy and glorious death to be honest.

It is a shame about Andy, he was perfect for the part and made the series what it is. I feel sorry for the new guy though, those are some big boots to fill however I don't think he has done a bad job just put into an extremely difficult position.
I actually prefer the new Neavia, she doesn't look too different and suits the role well, couldn't imagine the other actress playing Neavia properly after they save her from the mines.
One thing I love though- The actor who played Glaber is Haldir for LOTR.
Mind=blown.

I'll put money on Crixus (and Neavia) being killed, and Spartacus living. As for everyone else, your guess is as good as mine.

Uhh. No. What season are you on?
Spoiler:
Glaber's wife (Ilithia) dies. I'm on about the new one (can't remember her name); the one who (at the end of the most recent episode) is shown to be hiding a group of Romans under a hatch).

Quoted for truth.

This, I would agree with. I can't see the actress who played the original Neavia being this... brutal. Just don't think she'd have suited the role.

Hah, yeah. I had to be told that by a colleague. I didn't notice it myself.

How did I not notice that?! Well I'm glad the actor got another high profile part because I really liked his portrayal of Haldir.
Anyway, I'm liking the season so far. The introduction and portrayal of a young Caesar is very interesting. They also found a great actor to play Marcus Crassus.
I know someone with the show whether it was creator or not said something along the lines of expect to be surprised with their direction of their ending, so Spartacus may end up surviving in the end who knows.
