personally i’m thrilled about the spartacus announcement. just going by deknight’s very politics-heavy twitter presence i’m guessing it will be something of a trump-era allegory, with ashur cast as the increasingly unhinged narcissistic rapist with delusions of grandeur. plus this sounds like a return to the ludus & the upstairs/downstairs vibe of Blood and Sand & Gods of the Arena, which i am SO down for! and! because we’re in AU territory pretty much any characters could return! and there will undoubtedly be a new ensemble of characters to love (& love to hate)!
look, i’d also love to see nagron again, but this is the bonkers sex & violence show, surely a fluffy goat farm kind of thing was never in the cards yeah? leave them alone & let them have their happy ending, i say! also fwiw:
so like… all good things as far as i’m concerned. i can’t wait.

WHAT.
"The new show is set to pick up in the aftermath of the defeat of Spartacus' rebel army, and tell a new story of treachery, deceit, and blood unfolding beneath the foreboding shadow of Rome."

Sweet reunions heal heart
There's a reason Spartacus was epic in the year 2010 where the writers blasted off and laughed at the face of their macho viewers seeing badass warriors kill their prey and be gay at the same time. Love didnt make Nagron lesser heroes, the writers were men of honor.
Also, be gay and survive.

We were not exposed to a rather common "do-not-leave-me" mourning scene or an overly dramatic "died-in-his-arms" moment and I think that is beautiful.

“Here’s another thing we went round and round. There were versions where we killed Agron in this episode. But ultimately, I really wanted one happy ending for a couple, I mean, just one… One sunset moment. I came in the writer’s room one day and they go, “We got a great idea. We’re gonna crucify Agron!” I’m like, “What are you talking about? You can’t crucify Ag—” “Yeah, we’re gonna crucify him and he dies on the cross.” I had to tell them, “No, Agron and Nasir’s, theirs is a forever love” and then we thought, “Let’s crucify him anyway!” Cause that will really be cool in the next episode.”

2). LET’S CRUCIFY HIM ANYWAY BECAUSE IT’LL BE COOL.
