What an episode and roller coaster ride. The perfect tribute to season 1, Andy and the arena fights along with the actual fallen in the story. It was awesome to see Liam put on Spartacus' Arena gear for the first time. It really brought me back to thinking about Andy and how fucking perfect he was at being Spartacus. To see Liam do that awesome tribute in the same gear brought a tear to my eye. He really embraced the part this season and made it his own and buffed up quite a bit as well.
The chanting scene at the end was so beautiful as well. I wanted to start yelling out names.

Spartacus will die with his troops. Anyone really think if the battle was going South he would either abandon his men or be spared? This is a battlefield with like 100,000 men fighting, with every single Roman trying to kill him. He is not getting out of there alive, I don't think any of the main characters are. Leata and Sybil being pregnant and them surviving with a small band of slaves for example I think is more likely. Even that though might be too happy.
The story of Spartacus is a tragedy after all. They are not going to end it on a supper happy note. They being said, it it wasn't for people like Spartacus in history I would not be free to type this post on this forum and live my life how I want too. He may lose the battle, but he wins the war in the sense that his ideals survive.
