Spartacus: War of the Damned Season 3 gay lovers Agron and Nasir Who's watching this Friday at 9?

[quote]“We’ve had gay characters on the show before, but this was the first time that we could develop the relationship from the very beginning very slowly and actually see them fall in love,” said Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight of the love story that began last season with rebel warriors Agron (played with hunky bravado by Dan Feuerriegel) and Nasir (Pana Hema Taylor), a.k.a. ‘Nagron.’ On a press call late last week, DeKnight previewed what we’ll see when the War Of The Damned chapter (the final season in the series) begins airing this Friday on Starz. “We continue exploring their relationship,” he said, adding the tease that “you can’t always have a relationship that goes smoothly. There’s not a lot of drama in that, so we throw a couple of curve balls at them. But theirs is one of the relationships that, I think, is really kind of the cornerstone of the season. There are a lot of relationships going on and theirs, I think, is particularly powerful and gut-wrenching and beautiful.” Interview with Dan Feuerriegel at link

• Aww, he finally get his bromance/gay couple storyline.

• I’m surprised that people aren’t commented about Sparty. Nagron is a big part of the show.They aren’t weak, or jokes, but are full on hardcore rebels who fight and fuck.

• I'm ready for some more Nagron loving. Problem: All the livestream sites I used to use are down (TVPC.com and UFREETV.com). Anyone know of a stream that airs the Starz channel?

• That's a very entertaining show, one of the few that has interesting gay characters.

• first epi is free

• The pretty boy aussie actor Christian Antidormi who plays Tiberius really caught my eye in this first episode. I noticed the grabbing of the arm between he and his best friend in the hallway which was abruptly broken when his mother approached them. Could there be something sexual going on between these two? I hope we see this hottie naked. BTW, nice backside shot of Agron; firm and very muscular buttcheeks.

• I don't care about the relationships as long as those gorgeous guys take their clothes off.

• Wow, that gay love scene tonight was sexy! Where is Spartacus filmed? What place would have so many gorgeous men?

• New Zealand

• Please don't let Agron/Nasir get massacred.

• The gay love scene was disappointing because it didn't show anything (excepting Agron's worship-worthy ass). Meanwhile, they lingered on Gannicus getting it on with three chicks. Nagron was shown in transition (and apparently post-orgasm) as an afterthought. I'd rather see Nagron fucking hard for a change. I wonder if we'll get to see that. Dan Feuerriegel is ridiculously hot. And Liam McIntyre's hotness factor has reached the scorching zone as well. Fuck!, the entire show is full of the hottest hotties that ever hotted.

  I%20always%20miss%20Andy%20Whitfield%20when%20I%20watch%20this%20%3A-%28

• I just can't summon up any enthusiasm for it, even with everything on offer in the meat department. After Lucrezia did her two step of doom and Ilithia died from her at home tummy took, the fun's gone out of it.

• Give it a chance, R12. I thought same after Andy died, but I'm hooked again. I'll miss Lucy, but I know this thing will steamroll forward at a frenzied pace. I'm just hoping that the final episode will be a prelude to an equally hot spin-off. This simply can't be the end of the hot naked gladiators having sex with each other!

• Full frontal male nudity (even if only a brief glimpse), and a hot all-male make-out session. I love this show.

I was caught by him too... only my initial thought was that he looked like David Archuletta (from American Idol) :-) It would be nice to see him naked.

• How many actors have shown full frontal on this show?

• 2. Strange the actor playing Spartucus hasn't done any nudity...

• The weird stilted dialog is starting to get to me for some reason.

• Here's a video highlighting the Nasir and Agron story. It has some scenes from last nights episode, along with clips from last season.

• Dan Feuerriegel is a muscular, sexy, tall beast but also boyishly sweet at the same time. I want one! He reminds me of Jared Padalecki - both tall, fit, has dimples, sweet and goofy in real life.

• DAMMIT! Liam McIntyre is making an honest frau out of some wannabe Disney princess. Or so he told Anderson... :-[

• Loving all the armpits!!!

• Lucy lawless and that other chick are missed...

• Are there any openly gay actors on this show?

• Yes.

• Which one(s)?

• The actor that plays Donar is out.

• Heath Jones (Donar), on the right. Hottt.

• R24 - Plus let's not forget Glaber alias Craig Parker (RIP)!

• The incredibly beautiful Dan Feuerriegel.

• Christian Antidormi, plays Tiberius son of Marcus Crassus. In real life, Marcus Crassus never had a son named Tiberius.

• Dan Feueffiegel interviewed by AfterElton. Just a beautiful man inside and out.

• Watched first episode of season three.. that new villain (who killed his slave during sword practice) has tits that look like they have received a nice working over. In fact, this show has great tits for days.

  I have forgotten Robert Buckley (Park Avenue 666) and his tits

• I agree R23

• Who's in R39 and please say it's one of the gay ones!

• Todd Lasance, who plays Ceasar, has a beautiful body and an even better ass! Tight & muscular with nice jutting pecs and sixpack. It's a shame we didn't get a glance at his package, tho.

• Here's the video that R46's pic is from.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D49U7BuYLldQ

• R45 The actor's name is Manu Bennett. His "character's" name is Crixus. Crixus was one of the last to die in the war...not sure how they'll alter it for the show. Anyway, I think Manu is straight, but he comes across as gay friendly in interviews. I youtubed the hell out of his ass. He has a very interesting and sad life story. The story about his scars on his face is very sad. I hope Nagron survive the war and start a spinoff. They are actual characters so it's possible unless Argon is a mix of another some the other real life Generals.

• Why is his life so sad, r48?

• about Manu

  http://www.menshealth.co.uk/living/men/interview-manu-bennett-2

• R49. The article that R50 linked kinda touched on it, but there's a YouTube (I need to find it) that he talked about that time in his life in greater detail. Basically, when he was between 13/15 (maybe 15) he was in a car accident with his mother and brother. His mom and brother were killed, Manu was throw from the car. He has a scar around his eye were the glass from the windshield cut him and where he hir the ground when he landed. He was in a coma for 8 days or so. That's when (after he recovered) he was sent back to New Zealand. His dad was from there and I guess the relatives on that side felt he needed to learn their culture. Let's see, so he excelled in sports to work out his aggression & anger of losing his mom and brother. He said the ballet helped him be gentle and be close to women to satisfiy the need for his mom. I think he discovered the theater because his GF was in it and the show needed some guys for The Westside story. He ended up enjoying thearter, he said in general it helpled him remain an emotional being.

  R48

• Thats very interesting about him r51. New Zealand seemed like peaceful place, but everyone that comes from there seems to have had a hell when they grew up because of the culture there. Pana Hema Taylor had hard upbringing there also.

• No ones screaming about his shaved pubes?

• Manu Bennett was a ballet dancer. Oh my.

• R53. I think all the guys pubes are shaved on the show. For some reason it's acceptable to show female bush but not male bush. I don't think any of those guys shave when they're not on camera.

• EXACTLY !! that was what i thought as well the character Tiberius somehow when i saw him grab his friend arm and the way they both looked at each other the smiles , even when he says something like : 'i will not have you by my side..? ' something like that , i was like O-O OMG is he gay ??? 'fangirl' he's super cute and would be an awesome gay character if you ask me ~~ LET'S HOPE !!! XD

• Did these two ever show cock?

• Manu Bennett is a hot dude. So masculine.

• The two gay lovers probably do get massacred, right? I mean, the Spartacus team is eventually defeated.

• The shaved pubes are strange.

• shaved pubes are the norm today. in the days of Spartacus, I dont know.

• Doubtful a group of slaves living in camps would have had razors for their dicks, but not their faces. They strain credibility with the ridiculous pubic haircuts.

• It's just for the show, Spartacus & crew had other things to worry about. I don't think the show is going for credibility by shaving the pubes, it's better for mass consumption from TPTB standpoint. At least we get clearer cock & ball shots. Straight men are mad they can't see lips, lol!

  R55

• Nagron sex scene....happy now?

• Nagron sex scene: All but 10 of briefest seconds! Useless without sound of well-formed balls slapping against firm thighs, and of sight of fat cock pounding into tight ass! But sight of Nagron in deep embrace of love and lust fills mind with thoughts of pleasant and unclean dreams. Gratitude!

  Gaius%20Marius%20Bottomus

• Hot buff Black dude vying for Nasir. Very hot dude.

• "Days of our Lives" has hotter gay shit going on than this show.

• ^ Sure Mary. Nasir can go fuck himself. Agron is [bold][/italic]the[/italic][bold] stud of the show. Dan Feuerriegel is so fucking gorgeous.

• You all can have the beefy guys, I want to do nasty things to guy who plays Tiberius. Yum.

• The last episode had a naked jealous lover fuck. You don't catch that on Days of Our Lives. Nasir had a blissful smile as he was getting speared.

• I really wanted to like this show but I've come to the sad realisation it really is all fur coat, no knickers. *The hokey cod-Shakespearean / school boy Latin grammar dialogue that's become a parody of itself... *The soft-porn-made-for-hetero-boys-let's-stroke-some-breasts-lesbianism... * The way they show rape as erotically as the sex scenes. Lucy Lawless said ahead of Vengeance that she was in a new relationship through the season. No. Being repeatedly raped isn't being a relationship. WTF?! *The rampant misogyny of all the bitch women bitching the shit out of each other... Even in Dynasty some of the women didn't try to f**k each other over all the time.  *The phony English accents straight out of Auckland, NZ... (Has no one told them?!) *The formulaic 'x' many sex scenes, 'x' many violent scenes...it's no more sophisticated than the A-Team...  *The box-ticking in pretending to show gay male relationships but keeping it closet / straight fanfic girl friendly... *Just how f**king pleased with themselves they all are. Have you heard the DVD commentaries? The ridiculous hyperbole from the makers - complimenting every shot, every supposed (er...no...) bit of subtext...every fricking Jupiter's cock... *The premiere.  Having one.  Like it was a bloody movie blockbuster. It's a TV show. Watched by a comparatively small number of people. It will not be remembered in a couple of years. It's not a classic.  But most of all... MOST OF ALL.. How they've convinced themselves and are trying to convince the audience they're watching it for the story / the art. No. Folk are watching it for the porn. Which is perfectly fine. But let's call a spade a spade.  I feel better for that. 

• [/bold][/bold]R71, go back to watching Days of Our Lives, Mary. Leave Spartacus to the big boys. Having said that, I DEMAND to see Dan Feuerriegel's and Liam McIntyre's uncut cocks!!!

• Yes, more cock in ass, by Jupiter!

• I love this show.

• Wow, R71...did the Gods spread cheeks and ram cock in fucking ass, without lube? Pull head from ass and shut fucking mouth!

• r72 is unhinged. Thanks troll-dar. Must be either an actor on the show, or the network controller getting all upset.

• I'm still waiting for something interesting to happen this season. I'm a little disappointed.

• r77, this is the final season. This is their last shot to do something.

• There was an extended full frontal scene at the party with the pirates... but it looks funny. Was it a prosthetic?

• Screen cap: (animated GIF)

• Who played Caesar, the blond dude? He was fucking HOT! Incredible ass, incredible chest.

• So speaking of the hot blond dude... what the fuck was going on when he was getting the blow-job from the girl with the knife, and the dripping blood?!? What the hell was she doing to him??

• She's the circumcision troll, R84.

• I can see how actors can play a gay role on tv and laugh off the kissing parts and what not but wow with the scene I just watched in the last EP how completely uncomfortable are those scenes to shoot??? It's only less than a min once put into the show but they must spend hours getting those scenes just right! so funny to imagine a straight guy "pulling all that off" :-)

• I agree R86.

• R86, I'd love to see the outtakes. That was a hot scene.

• Why did they use such a fake rubber penis?

• Really. What was the knife and glood scene about? I have no idea what was going on.

• I would like to know what the hell the knife and blood scene was all about myself? Obviously "unusual pleasures" just no idea what it was...

• No one knows what the blood letting was about?

• comes on tonight

• R93 - Starz is re-running the first 3 episodes of the new season tonight - they say so viewers can 'catch up'. New eps return next week. I think there only 7 total eps left for the series. I will miss it so.

• 7 episodes left...gosh time is gonna fly by. I'm already having withdrawals. Too bad Argon & Nasir can't have a spinoff. Dan and Pana have great chemistry together, I need to see more of them.

• A love Nasir & Agron... They have amazing chemistry!

  http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcgk9kbpvO1rt6nzuo1_1280.jpg

  They better do a spinoff of those two!

• I forgot to put this on my other post because c'mon this is Hot!!! So Katrina Law(actress) talks about the Nagron makeout scene. HOT!

• That's awesome R102

• Ready for tonight?

• You bet Jupiter's cock I am!

• Dull tonight. Never seen so many gorgeous men in my life. Less gore and more skin!

• Missed it

• I hate that Tiberius was forced to kill his pseudo-boyfriend. I was looking forward to some hot scenes between those two.

• Are they really boyfriends though?

• Is it just me, or does this season suck?

• I agree with R108 We never saw them touch eachother but so much was communicated through the way they looked at eachother. And it's a pity to beat a man to death when he has such a rockin bod.

  SPARTACOCKS

• So when the disgraced soldiers were banished to the followers camp with the slaves and whores does that mean that they're going to be up for grabs as ho's for the other soldiers? HOT!

• SPARTACOCKS lolololol

• I was saddened by Tiberius having to kill his BFF who saved him during the battle (which Tiberius started though). What bothered me was that the BFF character was so very willing to get killed just so that his beloved Tiberius wouldn't fall from his father's grace further. That's some seriously hardcore blind devotion. That Caesar guy is really one smart cookie. Only a day in the city and he already has Crixus and Spartacus at each others' throats. Guess we also found out what the slave did to Caesar with the knife between his legs. The whole infiltration thing was planned well in advance as it seems. Argo being jealous about the black guy being close to his lover is getting old.

• ups, Agron, of course.

• So Agron in a case of mistaken identity, or whatever soap convention, will kill Nasir in a jealous Carmenesque rage, and upon realising his grevious mistake, will then go on to kill himself by the show's end. Am I right?

• Who's the swinging dick guy in the Gif and is his character gay?

• What did the slave do to Caesar with the knife between his legs?

• r118, the slave cut off a piece of Caesar's skin on his thigh, so he could come up with the lie (when needed) that he cut off his slave mark (like Asher did last season) to gain entrance into the city and gain the trust of Spartacus' men. Love the little moment in the latest episode where Agron pushes the girl away who throws herself at him in the bar.

• r119 here, sorry I meant Ashur (who cut off his slave mark).

• Caesur really infiltrated Spartacus's city? Uh, no not really. I understand creative license, but this plot was ridiculous.

• cant wait for tonight

• How many episodes are there? It feels like it's coming to an end...

• Also Tiberius really misses his bf/ hates his dad.

• I just started watching this show (4th episode in season 1) and this has to be the GAYEST show ever. Yes there's a lot of boobs so far and het sex, but the muscular guys are practically in their underwear. Then one fighter as an insult says "Lick my hole" {WTF?}..and when Spartacus gets knocked to the ground "Thracians always on their back with their legs spread...where they belong." boy is this show gay. I love it.

• Damn. I hope Agron and Nasir make it out of the city alive. No way Spartacus is able to hold it now with the gate doors destroyed and Roman ships approaching. The show really has a knack for Greek tragedy (He took something from me and now I take something from him!). That Tiberius kid is my kind of a hot twink. That butt of his is scrumptious.

• I do not want to see Spartacus die! AND I don't want to see Crassus win!

• Pretty sure they all die. Not that many episodes left are there?

• I expect some very hot make-up sex btw Agron & Nasir. After all, there are 5 more episodes to go.

• what is going on with the spinoff series?

• What is the hot black actor's name?

• Poor Tibby trying to rape that slave girl. He didn't know what to do with the vagina.

• I checked Wikipedia and it doesn't list a "Tiberius" as one of Crassus' sons. So if he's a fictional character, he might still engage in the homosex?

• r132, looks like he knew what to do (in a rapey kind of a way) to me.

• Wait til daddy Crassus finds out his twink son is fucking his slavegirl lover! He gonna be mad!

• It is said that they never found Spartacus' body, even though he is believed to be killed during the battle.

• Do you think they cast the actors or at least maybe the extras by dick size or that maybe it was at least a factor?

• uh, r137. are you serious? that question is delusional.

• It's called a joke R138 if you took the stick out of your hateful ass you might have understood that.

• This hotness is the actor who plays one of the pirates who almost broke up Nagron

• Yes, R133, Crassus did NOT have a son named Tiberius.

• R133 Crassus did not have a son named Tiberius. The other son (I think they only showed him once) on the show is his real (nonfiction) child. I don't know why they didn't keep that part factual. They could've used the same actor that's playing our beloved twinky Tibby.

• r140,what is his name? His bod is off da hook.

• Castus is played by Blessing Mokgohloa

  http://24.media.tumblr.com/d3060b1814657f9987ee2099fe4db6b7/tumblr_mi6uzmnK4M1qd6laho1_1280.png

• Do we think Sabinus and Tibby were fucking or was it just a bromance? They've been very coy about Tibby's sexuality but the way he was pining, you'd think they were in love. All we saw was them touching their hands together, so maybe that's the extent of it?

• Blessing Mokgohloa is fine. I hope he is cast in another show. His bod is unreal hot.

• Is the muscle guy with the swinging cock in the gif a named actor or just an extra with a line?

• Hmmmm...

• que paso?

• That Crassus dude has tiny, baby-sized teeth. Caesar looks so different after his haircut and shave. I like him better scruffy - hairy, he looks like a homeless Guy Pearce.

• I couldn't be more disgusted Friday night when they covered up Caesar's entirety with pussy! Don't they know this is the 21st century? That gorgeous actor went into contortions and hid himself with nude women! I could see other series doing that , but not our Spartacus!!!

• Todd Lasance has a magnificent ass. I saw little Tiberius take a quick peek at it during their face-off. Can't say I blame him.

• Todd Lasance's magnificent ass. As someone so kindly posted on another thread.

  http://shirtlessmenontheblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/todd-lasance-mostra-il-sedere.html%3Fzx%3D9b911e4ac04bff03

• Yes, but that's not all of him! Look at that pussy! Who do he and the producers think they are? Start a petition for him to show it all in the next installment!

• Any pictures of last nights show with the guy with the huge penis?

• I wonder if the show will go there with Crassus ordering the name of his son Tiberus to never be mentioned in any parchment about him after some big betrayal (like fucking Crassuss' slave mistress)?

• ,

• Those bastards did it again!!! Friday night's episode hid that gorgeous Caesar with pussy FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW!!! Who the hell do they think they are? Only Hollywood would stoop so Low!!

• So wait until tonight. Who'll hide behind pussy?

• Watching the last few episodes is painful!

• Spoiler Alert: Rome doesn't fall to slaves

• OMG Agron....... my sweet boy. My adorable Nasir, wipe your tears.

• I stepped away for 2-3 minutes, right when Caesar and Tiberius starting fighting. I glanced back and it looked like Tibbs had JC bent over a table. Did he rape JC?

• Yep, R164.

• Yes, Tiberius raped Caesar as the guards held Caesar against the table. There was a few seconds of Tiberius thrusting inside Caesar. He must have been a bit rough as the next day, Crassus asked Caesar why he wasn't astride his horse. Oddly, Tiberius later saved Caesar's life on the battlefield. That won't stop Caesar from seeking revenge it would seem.

• Can Tiberius ride me too!!

• This was another amazing episode. The rape of Caesar was pretty shocking. I think they used a butt double cuz i can't imagine his ass being that white and fleshy. I ws picturing something more toned.

• R168 didn't they show his ass (and only his ass) before?

• Serves Caesar right for hiding behind all that pussy!

• R170, exactly!

• I so wanted them all to live happily everafter

• Castus is hella fine.

• Agron was looking hella sexy with the light mustache and beard thing he had going in the last episode.

• Aw, they are dropping like flies. Agron, Crixus. Caesar getting raped by small cocked Tiberius? Caesar should have insulted Tiberius by asking 'is it in yet?'. By the Gods, I will miss that show.

• What about the spinoff series?

• Stop it R175! (I thought the same thing) I really hope Argon survives and he's reunited with Nasir...maybe he's just injured. Surely the Gods will bless Nargon with a HEA.

• The promo for the next show/finale doesn't look promising for Agron and Nasir. I felt terrible watching Crixus die. But it would be great if the two gay lovers were able to survive. I'll watch hoping till the last.

• To me it didn't make much sense for Agron to leave Nasir, just because he couldn't see himself to be a shepherd thanks to him being a warrior all his life. If he survives he will end up crucified or impaled. I'd rather want him being dead now than watching him dying like that. Or god forbid, Nasir comes by and has to end his misery.

• Could someone who knows Roman history tells us which of these characters are real people? We know Spartacus, Caesar and Crassus are. I think I read of Crixus but I am not sure if Agron or the others are real or just made up for the show.

• Actually, R178, there's one more episode to go before the series finale. I was not only sickened by the deaths of Agron & Crixus, but the fact that that nasty little bisexual rapist, Tiberius, killed them both. I would love to see Nasir and Tiberius fight, Nasir subdue Tiberius and rape the fuck out of him before beheading him. Now THAT would be quite a finale!

• Being that Crassus did not have a son named Tiberius, I can see his demise at the hands of Caesar.

• R180 Crixus was real and he was one of the last to fall. Argon and Nasir are not real people, although I believe Argon is a combo of some of the other lesser known Generals. I just thought of something. Is it possible that this Tibby is the imfamous Tiberious that raised Calugula? I don't understand why they didn't use Crassus' real son that fought alongside durning that time. Maybe this is the show's way of paving the way for the Ceasar spinoff. There is a Tiberious connection to Ceasar.

• f

• Why do people refer to two people who are obviously the same sex as "gay lovers?" or "gay couple?" If it is obvious they are the same sex, do you really need to call them gay too?

• That black chick who plays the slave (Cynthia Adair Robinson) was on last week's episode of The Vampire Diaries.

• I love all the great eyeshadow and eye makeup that the women gladiators wear.

• I hope they actors find a lot of mainstream work in the States.

• Manu Bennett (Crixus) has a recurring role on Arrow this season and will be a regular on the show in its second season.

• Jai Courtney is the star of A Good Day to Die Hard.

• AfterElton interview with Christian Antidormi "Tiberius" AE: Let’s talk about the rape of Caesar. It was so intense to watch, but how was it to film such a scene? CA: It was pretty hard to prepare for something like that. I was grateful to be working with such an amazing actor and person in Todd [Lasance] and T.J. [Scott, director] for directing that brutal scene. It was a challenge, and we really needed to put all of our consciousness aside for that role and just really be in that moment and just prepare ourselves. There were little moments, like the guards, when they placed a bit of assault on Todd before it happened, that was quite brutal physically in itself. I think that sort of helped to put it all into perspective. We both sort of felt like we were lost out of our bodies at that time [and] we were just completely immersed in the characters. I guess that was pretty intense. I guess at the end of the day, gratifying to have achieved. AE: How did you and Todd work together throughout most of the season? Most of the time Tiberius and Caesar are butting heads. Do you kind of stay distant from each other or…? CA: We were very close throughout the entire season. I sort of saw him as an older brother to me. We trained together on and off set. We’d be constantly going over our lines and work shopping different ideas.The relationship between myself and Caesar and Crassus was such a crucial triangular element of the show that it really needed to be finessed. It was so good that we could have such a close camaraderie together and work off each other’s ideas. That was great.

• Body double

• God,feeling anxious right before the show airs I just can't bear to see Agron suffer

  spartamary

• I here you Spartamary.

• Great Episode!!!

• As the season progressed it got better and better. Not just all that cartoon violence. Tonight's episode was especially moving and well done. I'm really going to miss this show. I read that a show is in the works to follow the exploits of Julius Ceasar. That might be interesting although Rome is hard to top.

• Lol, I of course meant Caesar!

• Bullshit, r195! Last night's episode was nothing but pussy. How abput all those gorgeous guys taking a famous Roman bath in the last episode?

• I am so going to miss this show, Last nights was difficult to watch only because everyone seems to be whispering, could barely understand a word they sad. So happy that Agron lived.

• For God's sake, R198, I was talking about the action, drama, excitement, not male nudity. Calm down and go jerk of to some p o r n.

• Have you ever noticed that where "nudity" is listed at the beginning of the show in the enumeration of the evils determines what kind of nudity is ahead? Last night it was at the bottom of the list, and it was only pussy. If it's higher up, the good looking guy might show more than his chest!

• Yep, as the show ends, it seems to have gotten markedly better, moving beyond cartoonish debauchery toward serious themes and better acting.

• Final episode coming up---- I was hoping for a spin off next year with Agron and Nasir, fighting to keep the memory of Spartacus alive during the day and having hot sex in their tent (or cave) at night.

• Like I said, a big Roman bath.

• Since the director of Spartacus created a new son Tiberius for Crassus, I wonder if the finale will be created new for television by this director or will he be true to history?

• Me too, R203 :-}

• Me three. I really can't stand the thought of them dying. I will have to cover my eyes.

• d

• Liam Mcyintre(sp?) said on his twitter to watch after the credits roll.

• I believe some of the regular cast will live. As history has it, some of them fled to freedom instead of going on and fighting AND dying. It would be nice to see some familiar faces in the cast if they do the rumored series with Ceasar.

• Yes, Nasir and Agron will flee to freedom! May Gods make it so!

  spartamary

• Slomo jizz everywhere!

• Spartacus flees.

• I can't get that image out of my mind, thanks R212! Hahaha!

• Tonight's the night..... they all die I bet. Please save Agron and Nasir for a spin off, LOVERS ON THE RUN

• Agron and Nasir do live to love and fight another day. Otherwise, the finale played out as expected given the show's determination to maintain a passing loyalty to history. This series brought us more flesh and violence than pretty much any other on television. It treated its gay characters very well and for that it should be praised.

• Fantastic finale. Andy Whitfield last scene of credits. Agron and Nasir live!!!!!!!!! Praise Gods.

• R 216 you are right. A passing loyalty to history. From what I have read. Spartacus body was never found. So its not sure when he actually died.

• Agron, Nasir!!!!!!! They lived.......I want a spin off series!!

• I started tearing up when Sparty got the 3 spears in him and saw a vision of his wife. Next is when Gannicus saw a vision of Oenemaus. Then again, when Sparty was dying as Nasir and Agron watched and said the best thing is to die a free man. The end credits with all the past cast members and Andy Whitfield started me up again. Now I have a headache.

• Truly spectacular ending and kudos to the producing team for such a beautiful tribute to the memory of Andy Whitfield. The past two episodes made up for a rather dismal final season. I thought that, after all the time invested, it was difficult to become acquainted with so many new characters this season which were of little interest or empathy. It was a challenge to find motivation for Spartacus as so much had been invested in the back story with his wife. This season, he was just on the run and the wife wasn't really mentioned so much except for the very end of the final episode.

• Amen. All these gorgeous actors got out of doing nude scenes. The nude scene last night was pathetic.

• This season wasn't very good but the last episode was truly epic. Male nudity was a big letdown and the gay sex wasn't depicted in the same light as the hetro sex was..... BUT it was nice the gays survived and also comforted Spartacus as lay dying...

• Finale was too mushy but even I got choked up when Andy Whitfield appeared in closing credits. I hated Navia's final scene, she deserved to live. I am impressed that the gay characters were allowed to live. That seems like a first.

  Evillene

• Liam (Sparticus's ) death scen was truely Emmy worthy. Kudo's to the special effects and make-up people, Sparticus truely looked like he had spears going thru him.

• Sadly it will probably only win a Glad award if it still exists. You could tell they spent alot of money on the last episode...

• Funny Tweets from Samuel L. Jackson‏@SamuelLJackson18h I AM NOT DOWN W/ THIS SHIT!!!!! AT FUKKIN' ALL!!!!! Samuel L. Jackson‏@SamuelLJackson18h NOOOOOOOOOO they can't take SPARTACUS FROM US!!!!!!!!MUUTHAFUUUUUUKAAAAZZZZ!!!!!!

• Here's an interview with Spartacus creator Steven DeKnight. I very much recommend listening to the whole interview as it's an interesting, wide-ranging discussion of Spartacus, but if you want to listen to just what he says about gay relationships and Agron/Nasir on the show then you can jump to 54:37. Steven DeKnight is also working on a new show called Incursion, a sci-fi military drama for Starz. He says that in this show that same-sex relationships will also be a standard part of this world.

• For a series that I dismissed as blood-soaked porn and debauchery, it sure did end with dignity and soul. I can only hope that the Julius Ceasar spinoff will be as well-done and substantive as the final episodes of Spartacus.

• What is the status of the Julius Ceasar spinoff?

• Gratitude, wonderful season.

• Most improved series of the year.

• Heartbreaking end. Hope to see some of the cast get some good roles in film and tv, like some of the cast of Rome.

• Creator/Producer/Writer knows nothing about no Spinoff.

• 'Spartacus' Series Finale: Creator Steven DeKnight Talks Rebel War, Deaths And 'Victory' In the first 75 minutes of the podcast, I spoke to DeKnight about his vision for the final season and the finale, about interacting with fans and about the show's history. We spoke in depth about "Spartacus'" evolution, its aesthetics and its core message. The final episode "was really mostly about the characters… and what this whole rebellion meant," DeKnight said. And in typical "Spartacus" fashion, the episode's title, "Victory," could be interpreted in several ways. After all, in the finale, Spartacus and Gannicus die, but a contingent of slaves get away. And Crassus lives, but he must crucify his lover and his son is dead. "How do you claim victory when you've been defeated? And how do you lose when you've won? That's really the two sides of the coin," DeKnight said. "I think Crassus feels very much in those final moments, there is no final victory. There's absolutely no victory for anyone in this." Yet DeKnight wanted there to be some hope in the finale, and he accomplished that in part by letting some slaves escape. Among those heading to the mountains (presumably to establish a goat farm): the fan-favorite couple Agron and Nasir. DeKnight said the show has "always been a grand sweeping love story, it's about Spartacus' love for his wife and many other peoples' love. And it's a tragedy, it's an absolute heartbreaker." I don't think fans would want it any other way. If you don't have time to listen to the entire podcast (which, at the end, has a 20-minute discussion of the finale between myself and McGee, whose separate interview with DeKnight goes up here soon), here are some of the highlights: Speaking of battles, DeKnight had many with Rick Jacobson, who directed the finale. There were "some contentious discussions about that final battle," DeKnight recalled. "It was perhaps the darkest moment on the show, but out of that came fantastic compromises and ideas, and I wouldn't have it any other way. ... [Rick] had so many great ideas, and half of them I absolutely hated [at first]. I finally came around and now I think they're brilliant." One example: Jacobson wanted a scene of Crassus practicing with his men before the battle, DeKnight didn't think it was necessary at first, but he came around. Jacobson also suggested the tent scene between Gannicus and Spartacus, which wasn't in the original script. The ideas of Laeta being pregnant at the end of the show, or Naevia living and perhaps being revealed as pregnant, were never really considered. "I did not want to go down that path -- to me that felt like a very [cliched] television thing," DeKnight said. "It just didn't feel like the show to me." We talked quite a bit about the epic journey of Gannicus, and I asked him if he'd always envisioned the heroic path the character eventually embarked on. "When we were doing 'Gods of the Arena,' it was definitely there -- the broad strokes of the grand plan," DeKnight said. "Was it our plan to have him end up like that [i.e. crucified]? No. During the final season, there were many discussions about who was going to end up on the cross," and ultimately they decided to make it "a man who had resisted for so long being part of this movement." Gannicus is a man who "deep down hates himself, and even though he [knows] Oenomaus forgave him, he has to forgive himself." DeKnight said one of the hardest aspects of every season was thinking up those big twists and shocking moments. That kind of thing was a challenge, but one of the things he enjoyed most was structurally tying the final season to the first. Fans probably have noticed the huge number of callbacks to show's early days in the final seasons, and DeKnight talked about a number of those references in the podcast. "I'm a huge fan of the kind of stories that reference back to themselves and [where] everything ties together and folds in on" itself, he said. "That kind of intricate storytelling is what really excites me the most." The original plan for Episode 9 had been for Spartacus and his crew to force the Romans to fight each other (as allegedly happened in history). But DeKnight realized it wouldn't be enjoyable for the audience to watch their favorite characters sit on the sidelines for half the episode, so they changed it to gladiators fighting the Romans, and thus recalling the glories of the arena days. On the passions of fans: "I love the fans dearly, I interact with them all the time but I would never make a creative decision based on fans liking somebody or not liking somebody," DeKnight said. "I think that is such a slippery slope. You have to just tell a good story. If I was listening to the fans, I never would have killed Varro" in Season 1, but we discussed how that moment was a pivotal turning point for the show and for Spartacus as a character. DeKnight pointed out something that I hadn't thought about: Both Crixus and Spartacus were stabbed in the back by Romans. The similarities of their deaths was intentional, and the idea was that "Rome is a neverending ocean that will eventually get you. They might not be able to take you head on," and the only way they could beat the rebels is by stabbing them in the back, DeKnight said. I agreed with DeKnight that another whole season of senators taking on Spartacus would have probably become too repetitive. He and the writers condensed many of the historical events involving those Roman foes into the final season, and though DeKnight said he's a "fan" of 10-episode season, I think a couple more episodes, which could have been used to flesh out the Roman side a bit more, might have been advantageous. While it sounded as though he wouldn't have minded a 12-episode season, "you do what you can with what you've got," he said, and added that "it's not a bad thing at all leaving fans wanting just a little bit more." There's a veiled reference in Episode 9 to the blacklisting of Dalton Trumbo, who wrote the 1960 Kirk Douglas film "Spartacus." The blacklist era was marked by the kind of "naming of names" that could ruin lives -- so DeKnight made the naming of the fallen in "The Dead and the Dying" "a positive naming of names." He hears this much less now, but in the first couple of seasons, "I was inundated with mostly guys saying, 'I love the show, but can you cut it out with the gay shit?'" DeKnight said. "And my reply was always 'No. If you don't like it, stop watching the show.'" DeKnight talked at length about how he and executive producer Rob Tapert felt strongly about depicting gay characters who were no different from any other characters. "The same-sex characters on our show were just as much manly men as anyone else," DeKnight said. "The only difference is they love someone who's not the opposite sex." He wanted one couple to survive and walk off into the sunset together, and because no other couples made sense, given the demands of various characters' stories, in a "de facto" way, the surviving pair ended up being Agron and Nasir. "It was important to me -- we had to have a ray of hope at the end of this very sad story," DeKnight said. He is pretty sure "Nagron" fans will be happy that they lived, given that he has been "pelted" with fans who wanted the couple to end up happy and living on a goat farm somewhere. "I think people will be happy to know, they will get their goat farm," DeKnight said. He has not heard anything about a spinoff for Caesar, and his work schedule would not permit him to be part of such a show, should one come to pass (and to be clear, Starz hasn't said anything about a spinoff). "I'd watch the hell out of that" if it happened, DeKnight said. "I say, 'Godspeed.' I would love to see this world continue. I think it's a fantastic world Rob and I were able to build. and I personally would regret if there wasn't something [more] told in that world." To learn more about DeKnight's new show, the military drama "Incursion," check out this recent story. "Spartacus"-speak is hard to write -- each script took him twice as long as non-Sparty scripts he's written. DeKnight said he was glad Starz had the "intestinal fortitude" to stick with the show's "language experiment," which he thinks paid off. "I think the payoff is, I've never been quoted so much," DeKnight said. "I've even seen people with tattoos of lines from my scripts. There's nothing that's a better validation that we did the right thing than to see somebody with your words tattooed on their body." The question he was asked most by fans: What is Spartacus' real name? "I always respond, what name would make a difference?" DeKnight said. "The great thing about the story is that nobody knows his name. In that way, he becomes everyone. He stands for every man who stands against oppression." The idea to feature Andy Whitfield saying "I am Spartacus" at the end of the finale came from Tapert. "I thought it was brilliant. ... We definitely wanted to acknowledge Andy's contribution to the show, and his absence is felt every day we worked on the show." That image, by the way, came from a scene in the seventh episode of Season 1. Tapert also came up with the closing montage of "Spartacus" characters from every season. My colleague Laura Prudom has been posting exclusive video interviews with "Spartacus" cast members every week. Don't miss this week's final installment, featuring Liam McIntyre. The other videos can be found with the rest of HuffPost TV's "Spartacus" coverage. The entire podcast interview with DeKnight can be found here, on iTunes and below. One last thing -- here's a short list of things I'll miss about "Spartacus:" Crazy eyes; Sparty-speak; slow-mo blood; incisive critiques of multiple forms of oppression; gay love; people jumping down from or up to things (often with crazy eyes); committed performances; badass feminism; entertaining profanity; the Undefeated Gaul; oiled torsos; crazy surprises and twists; rousing speeches; Syrians; so much hot damned manflesh; the tender romance of it all; epic deaths; lunatic Germans; inventive violence; and of course, "Jupiter's cock!"

• r235 mentions Dalton Trumbo and what a hero/martyr he is portrayed to be. He also wrote the screenplay for Exodus, a contemptible racist lie that makes Birth of a Nation look broad-minded.

• Maybe I've missed it and it's already been discussed... but are the actors who play Agron and Nasir gay or straight in real life?

• I think the tall one is gay in real life...

• The tall one is straight. So is the short one, married to a woman 19 years older.

• There no greater victory than to fall from this world a free man. One of the better series endings. Even if there wasn't enough graphic homosex this season...

• There's something to be said about the fact that the final scene has a loving gay couple walking off into the sunset together.

• extended love scene Agron and Nasir
