Sad to see it go since i enjoy the show. But at the same time glad to see them not just drag it on and on. Have three epic seasons over 5+ with couple good and couple mediocre seasons.

I agree. Same reason I liked Prison Break and a few others. Have a purpose with the show. Take a few seasons to tell the story. Tell it fucking awesomely and give me a conclusion. A real one. Not a drawn out, lets get more money out of this bitch conclusion.

I thought it was done after Vengeance until I looked it up, most all the story lines were tied up, but I welcome another season of over the top violence.

I love this show and I am sad to see it end.

But this little update has got me excited:
Update: DeKnight says he has a new show in development at Starz that could be the successor to Spartacus. We're hearing the mysterious project's working title is Incursion. The series is described in industry circles as a "Halo-like video game meets HBO's Band of Brothers." The writer-producer says the show isn't expected to be another fully immersed green-screen production like Spartacus. Starz says the project is still in very early stages, but obviously we're looking forward to whatever DeKnight makes next.

Once again gods spread cheeks and force me to accept further ramming!

Well this kind of sucks. I was hoping for at least 2 more seasons. Can't they at least make it like 12 episodes? This 1 season 10 episode deal is going to suck even worse b/c you don't even know the bad guys yet. This is going to end up basically being it's own mini-series b/c you won't have time to get invested in the baddies.

I guess Batiatus was a great bad guy even during his first season, so it'll probably be OK. Illythia was annoying anyway and needed to go. Ashur ended up being an awesome bad guy after you found out why he was the way he was. They did that a lot including Glabber and Ashur. They were bad but you could understand their reasoning sometimes....everyone $hit on them on conspired against them a lot of the time.

There were some awesome kills (rape face getting the spear, Sedullus face, heads flying) but Ashur's death sucked big time and so did Oenomeus's.

Will we get kick ass Crixus this season or skinny whiny Crixus?

I also think in Season 3 we're going to see some Gannicus and Saxa loving.

The writer also said he wants to talk to his co-writer about a possible spinoff involving Crassus, Ceasar, or even just using the "Spartacus" atmosphere to go a different direction.
