I didn't quite understand Gannicus's death. He wanted to die a gladiator's death but eventually accepted his leadership role.. only to be crucified except he's shown at peace because of this??

I'm assuming he was saying he'd longed for a love similar to what the two shared, is that correct?

Pretty much. It was essentially, "if Nasir loved me as much as he does you"

I was actually really disappointed in Crixus's death. He just sort of stands there and then gets lanced in the back.. I was expecting something more epic like Boromir's death in Lord of the Rings..

I thought the "2nd" season (Vengeance) was drawn out and was mostly terrible. War of the Damned was quite excellent though. Didn't buy into the new actor until this season either.
