Just finished watching a marathon of Spartacus, and wow....standing ovation here. What a series (with more to come!)
Lucy Lawless' character was perfectly done and the ending had me on pins and needles not necessarily due to the Spartacus/Glaber duel, but rather the Lucretia/Illythia climax. The speech of bringing a child to Quintus right before plunging off the cliff backwards....amazing stuff.
As stated previously though, the whole Ashur/Nivea duel was painful to watch. I was secretly hoping that Ashur would simply plunge a sword in Nivea or toss her off the cliff, if only to ensure that he didn't go out the sappy way he did. It would have made him a more memorable and hated villain, in my opinion.
