    I never understood why he never received equal respect. Didn't he kill someone in the arena before getting his "fake" mark? I know they kept saying he would have been sent to the mines if not for the other Syrian, but why didn't that change anything?

    He was about to get killed in the arena but the other Syrian (the one who only spoke Arabic) saved his ass. I can't remember why Batiatus kept Asher after he got crippled - did he help out kidnapping & killing the rival lanista at the end of Gods of the Arena?

    Nope. I thought he just kept him b/c he was in charge of getting things for the other gladiators. Oh but he did help out with the young lanista beatdown which got him the brand.

    Still not totally convinced about this season yet. Just doesn't seem as entertaining as the last. I hope it picks up a little bit

    Episode 4 was pretty exciting and finally they getting into some serious intrigue. New spartacus still bothers me and so far weakest season

    Gannicus + Oenomaus in the arena next week. I could care less about anything else.

    They would have been fine if the entire army stayed together, and Spartacus can't lose his leadership role from pressure.

    I await the return of Gannicus.

    Gannicus looks sick in the Episode 5 promotional photos

    Maybe it only annoys me, but all the slaves running around in rags is so MEH. Put on the Roman armor!!

    I still miss Andy. I think this guy is too young or something to be a replacement. Just doesn't have the presence.

    I think it's mostly a replacement issue. He likely would've been fine if he had been Spartacus the whole time. Would he have been as good as Andy? Not sure. Would he be considered better than he is now? Yes.

    What a great episode! I'm glad they finally got it rolling.

    Question about Asher:

    Spoiler: show
    Did he tell the Prater (I forget his name) about the abortion drink as part of Lucretia's plan? Or did he defect off on his own and do that?

    Best episode so far. Gannicus is the man. They need to make Season 4 about his travels in the years he's been free.

    Lucretia's plan was for Asher to sneak into Illithyia's room and substitute the abortive concoction with bitter water. Afterward, Lucretia would deceive Illithyia into thinking that her pregnancy was destined to occur, effectively thwarting her plans to remarry—presumably without Glaber ever learning of the ordeal. Instead, Asher capitalized on the situation and told Glaber about Illithyia's medicine, ensuring that Glaber would still believe him useful (and not execute him). Illithyia could have covered the while thing up with Glaber confronted her, but she obviously felt confident that nothing would go awry at the arena.

    Thanks, I wasn't sure if Asher was playing the double agent or not.
