 | Titolo: ‘Spartacus’ season finale is a bloody good time (grossi spoilers!!)  Ven Apr 16, 2010 10:11 am | |
| Attenzione, non leggete l'articolo se non volete spoilers, descrive troppo cosa succede nell'ultimo episodio.(Ho copiato solo la prima parte qui, perchè la seconda dice troppo, se la volete leggere comunque seguite il link, ma non ve lo consiglio) - Spoiler:
The season finale of “Spartacus” makes everything that came before it seem like a Disney film.
“Bambi,” maybe.
For those who think they can’t be surprised by “Spartacus’ ” savage swordplay, all I can say (without the jaw-dropping expletives): You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Tonight’s hour “Kill Them All” (nothing like truth in advertising) opens with the long-awaited grudge match between Spartacus (Andy Whitfield) and Crixus (Manu Bennett), the only man to best Spartacus in battle.
To be clear, this is not the main event, even if much of the hour’s mid-battle flashbacks would have you believe so.
It is merely the warm-up for carnage the likes not seen before on premium cable.
No, this show is not for everyone. On “Spartacus,” the violence and sexuality are necessary staples to the serialized story. To creator Steven S. DeKnight’s credit, he’s struck a balance between depicting the carnage and the fetishizing that marred early episodes.
Batiatus (John Hannah) and his wife Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) finally have the patronage they so desire, but then there’s nothing like a little blackmail among matrons. Lucretia has Ilithyia (Viva Bianca) literally reading from a script, though not for long.
What better way to celebrate their new social status than with a gala marked with a death match between Spartacus - “slayer of the shadow of death” - and Crixus, the fallen champion almost everyone wants dead.
Everyone except Spartacus, who realizes his one-time foe is key to getting revenge for the murder of Spartacus’ wife.
Crixus, however, will not join Spartacus’ cause, believing he must win his freedom to recover his beloved Naevia.
He tells Spartacus, “You know, that in another life, you and I may have been as brothers. But not in this one.”
Their give-and-take as dozens of guests watch from the villa balcony is impressive, if expected.
Wait for the single fingertap on a shield.
That’s when unholy hell breaks.
New alliances are forged in blood, scores are settled, and innocents and the guilty alike die horribly.
