Such a shame that this show got cancelled though we should also be lucky that we got 3.5 seasons even to begin with.
Only 3 more episodes left now.
I know the history and they couldn't really go on anyway after Crassus, but it would have been cool if they stretched this season out to 2 seasons. On the other hand it does make every episode really tight and action packed.
Smart of them to end it now. But i would keep the roman thing going and focus on a new serie starring ceaser, crassus, and pompei magnus as they battled for power to form the first triumvirate.. Only problem though is that is period has already been spectacularily portrayed in HBO's Rome.
Perhpas another, better option would be going back in time to tell the story of the greatest enemy of Rome, Hannibal. This wold require a completely new cast, however.

I'll really miss this show.
I'm with you dude. This is my favorite show, probably even above Game of Thrones. I'm going to miss it.
Are there 3 episodes left this season?

Obviously a huge episode this week. Inevitable if you knew the true history of the uprising, but it's another thing to see it actually play out.
Spoiler!
I was surprised they didn't let Crixus take out Crassus' son, or Crassus himself, who did die in battle, though not against Spartacus' forces, before bowing out. The guy deserved one last glorious victory before he went to the afterlife, IMO.
As always, I tip my hat to the producers for finding a way to work an orgy in in the middle of a war.
This used to be a guilty pleasure of mine, but these last 5 episodes have been insanely good. i'm seriously hoping that there is a spinoff series that continues with ceaser (if the writing continues at this level). on an other note; that is definitely not how i would have handled ceaser, I assume it's going to come back to bite in him in a$$ at some point :P

The only problem with that is that you completely ignore his mighty Darwin Award death 20 years later... "They'll eventually run out of arrows!"
Also I'm looking forward to the rise of the First Triumvirate and the power struggles within.
