Crixus is absolutely devastated when his only lead to the whereabouts of Naevia is slowly dying from a gash to the abdomen. In every scene as the Gaul gladiator Crixus, co-star Manu Bennett gives his character an emotional depth and genuinely portrays his anguish over his lost lover, Naevia.

Coming to a realization that in order to keep his rebels and hopes of vengeance alive, Spartacus decides the rebels will head south to search for Crixus’ lover Naevia, free any slaves they encounter and build an army that could one day bring down Rome. However, when Aurelia, the wife of Spartacus’ dead best friend Varro, gets captured and is dying from her wounds she asks him to grant one last wish to stay away from her son since all he ever brings is death and misery to the everyone around him. With no army of his own, Spartacus is still adamant in avenging his wife, even if it means sacrifcing his life and leaving his rebels without a leader. Since their escape a few weeks prior, Spartacus and his rebels have been living underground in Capua stealing food and money from soldiers which leaves no choice for Glaber, the man who sold Spartacus’ wife into slavery, but to hunt him down. Characters we have come to care about are refamilarized in the premiere episode as well as some new characters introduced, nicely setting up what should be another stellar season.Īt the heart of this episode is how Spartacus’ own thirst for vengeance leaves him blind to what he was fighting for all last season: his own life and the lives and freedom of the slaves he helped set free. The gruesome deaths, stylized slow motion sword fighting and no holds bar nudity would seem empty, maybe even comical, if it weren’t because we are emotionally invested in the plights of these characters and the complexity of the larger themes being explored. All the hallmarks of a Spartacus episode are taken to the extreme this week as we witness a bone snapping out of an arm, a dagger thrust into a man’s eye, bloodbath at a whorehouse, and a gigantic strap-on dildo. This episode picks up a few weeks after the first season finale, aptly titled “Kill Them All’, which ended with the massacre in the House of Batiatus and Spartacus vowing to make “Rome tremble” as he and his fellow gladiators escaped the ludus. “We need a leader, not some angry boy who can barely piss without splashing everyone about him” is one of many memorable lines from the long awaited season premiere of Spartacus Vengeance.
