Yeah, I agree, Crassus was pretty awesome as a villain up until episode 7.
That was my first thought after watching the episode, that Agron isn't dead for sure. All he got was a slice. Besides, it would be a pretty good strategic move from the show makers to deceive the viewers and make one of the two dead protagonists actually alive and unite him with his lover (which obviously doesn't happen with Naevia and Crixus, although I have a feeling Naevia is going to kill someone, perhaps Tiberius).
I can't say I have something against him dying the way he did. He was a fool with a bloodthirst that eventually got to him. An honorable fool, but a fool nonetheless. I mean, you can discern from the show's name that the protagonists will die. Yes, even Spartacus will, judging by how true to history this show is trying to be (Batiatus, Verinius, Glaber and pretty much every other character from the first two seasons that you can think of did actually exist, as well as Oenomeus, Gannicus, Crixus, Agron, etc.)
While in all honesty that is something I would emotionally want (as in what would be fun), it wouldn't make much sense and it would be pretty inconsistent.
Between Rome and Capua. 6000 of them. Yeah, that will be scary. :S
Edit: I just realized, after reading a bit about the war on Wikipedia, that it would be pretty awesome if they made any further seasons about how the First Triumvirate came about. I mean, Crassus and Caesar are already there, and according to Wikipedia, Pompey returns from dealing with rebels in the Iberian peninsula exactly at the time to help Crassus finish Spartacus. Would be quite interesting if they made a show about the cooperation between the three and eventual triumph of Caesar and his rise as the first emperor (although only in practice).
