Just wrapped up the entire series..

That goodbye between Agron and Nasir (when Agron left to fight with Crixus) was pretty rough. Almost caught a thug shedding a tear on that one. I was happy to see Agron return and, ultimately, pass through the mountains with Nasir and the rest of the free people.

One thing I didn't understand was, on the field of the final battle, when Castus got cut down and said "would that I could have been you for just one day". It seemed as though he was speaking to Nasir, but that wouldn't really make much sense (unless he actually had a hard on for Agron that whole time) and it was muddied by the fact that Agron was standing right behind Nasir. I'm assuming he was saying he'd longed for a love similar to what the two shared, is that correct?

Crixus finally received his glorious death in battle. He was really pissing me off near the end but I hated to see him have his chance at the gates of Rome robbed by a sneak attack from that little twerp from the rear.

Speaking of, he raped Julius Ceasar. Holy balls.

The ending was about as fitting as one could hope. I knew that most would die; it was just a matter of how and when. Gannicus, the ****ing beast, back in the arena with Oenamaus (sp?) at his side, Agron and Nasir together, Lugo burning and screaming "**** the Romans" to his last breath, and Spartacus finally reuniting with his wife in the afterlife.

Ah, what a show. I'll miss it.
