Aggro is adorable and I'm glad he survived. Judging by his injuries and Ceasars little quip about how he'd never grasp a sword again he'll probably survive the climax because he won't be in the slaughter

It was also kinda nice to see Laeta come around to the rebellion fully by cheering for Crixus. Maybe Spartacus and her run off together and have an awkward "how I met your mother" story. "So kids it was love at first face stabbing."

Preview chat they showed Agron holding a shield with a sword kind of stuck through it so the point was sticking out passed one of the edges.

Anyway this is a silly tangent. etalian posted:I loved the acting for when Crassus loses control for a few moments when he learns his son got captured in the ambush but then quickly snaps back into his scheming old self to make a gameplan. I liked the editing in that scene too. I thought my feed was skipping around but then realized it done on purpose to convey his panic and confusion at the news.

So they crucified Agron as a warning to the other prisoners. But they kept him strapped to the beams so he doesn't suffocate (the real cause of death by crucifixion). So they're plan to intimidate everyone was to string up Agron (painfully) but let him essentially dehydrate to death? It just seemed like a really over-elaborate way to keep Agron alive but seriously injured.

Crucifixions routinely lasted for days, so yeah leaving him alive slowly dying seems like a pretty brutal way of sending a warning?

Thwomp posted:But wasn't the condemned not strapped to the beams so that he was hanging (more or less) by his hands? quote:A theory attributed to Pierre Barbet holds that, when the whole body weight was supported by the stretched arms, the typical cause of death was asphyxiation.[51] He wrote that the condemned would have severe difficulty inhaling, due to hyper-expansion of the chest muscles and lungs. The condemned would therefore have to draw himself up by his arms, leading to exhaustion, or have his feet supported by tying or by a wood block. When no longer able to lift himself, the condemned would die within a few minutes. Some scholars posit other causes of death, including Frederick Zugibe, who suspended test subjects with arms at 60° to 70° from the vertical. Test subjects had no difficulty breathing during experiments, but did suffer rapidly increasing pain,[52][53] which is consistent with the Roman use of crucifixion to achieve a prolonged, agonizing death. You didn't even bother reading a few lines down from the wikipedia article.

Also, when I was re-watching Blood and Sand, I was very amused to notice that Oenomaus even says Agron's name wrong, and calls him Argon. Pretty plausible, since at that point Aggy is still just a slave at action, but Oenomaus does get Duro and Segovax correctly.

I really thought/hoped Spartacus was going to make it Tiberius v. Caesar in the arena. Even though Brad Caesar was a dick to Agron, he's still my favorite roman dude from this season.

You can still kinda do it, but it's DIY/not free. Someone has to buy it as an avatar first so it's hosted on SA. Then everyone has to buy new avatars with the tag embedded. I could be wrong.

My theory for what is going to happen: Pompey attacks Spartacus. Not knowing who is Spartacus, there's the "I am Spartacus" moment, where Gannicus claims he's Spartacus. Pompey kills Gannicus and heads back to Rome to claim victory. Spartacus escapes with the rest of the slaves. Only Crassus knows the truth but can't admit it to the Senate.

Yeah, they're not free anymore, which is why I stopped making them since it became less easy to get them rolling. I made the yellow "troll slaiyers" one you might have seen around as well. I can see why they're a bannable offense if you ask for one, it's gotta' be super annoying to be pestered for one at the rate you can probably assume they come about.
