We got a chance to chat with "Spartacus: Vengeance" creator Steven DeKnight about what has to be one of the most shocking season finales in TV history. There are serious spoilers coming, so if you haven't watched it yet, avert your eyes. DeKnight tells us about the deaths, incest and who was safe until the very last moment.
Half of the cast is off to Hades after the finale. It was a blood bath! "I think I've taken the Joss Whedon school of death and destruction to a new level," DeKnight laughs. "We really did kind of clean house. To me it's all part and parcel of what does the story need and where is the story going.
DeKnight talks about killing off Lucretia (Lucy Lawless). "When I was first approached to bring her back, I was adamant that she die with Batiatus (John Hannah) to wrap up that story line.

Spartacus Vengeance: Episode 6 – Chosen Path
Stars: Liam McIntyre, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Viva Bianca, Craig Parker, Katrina Law, Tom Hobbs, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Lucy Lawless, Dan Feuerriegel, Nick Tarabay, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Dustin Clare | Written by Misha Green | Directed by Michael Hurst
There was no way that the creators of Spartacus could top last week’s action-fest, but rest assured it does contain gladiator action and tightens up the plot both in Capua and at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.
Spartacus, Crixus, Oenomaus and Gannicus (the four named generals of the slave army) are finally together, like the Justice League of Gladiators, but they aren’t getting along too well. Ever wonder who would win in a fight between our two favourite dual-sword wielding gladiators? Crixus and Naevia are at last together and free, but things between them are very far from being a bed of roses. Last week I would have...

Spartacus Vengeance: Episode 5 – Libertus
Stars: Liam McIntyre, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Viva Bianca, Craig Parker, Katrina Law, Tom Hobbs, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Lucy Lawless, Dan Feuerriegel, Nick Tarabay, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Dustin Clare | Written by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing | Directed by Rick Jacobson
This episode cements Liam McIntyre as Spartacus, and is easily the best so far this season. It’s full of the over the top action that Spartacus does so well, so very well.
One of the reasons it’s such a good episode is that it moves the Spartacus story along in leaps and bounds, even though the majority of the episode is set in the Capua arena. The episode starts quickly and violently with flashes of gladiatorial matches, followed by the reintroduction of Gannicus (once Oenomaus’ friend, but now, thanks to Ashur, his nemesis), then, like an episode of Castle, it flashes back to a day earlier.

Spartacus Vengeance – Episode 4: Empty Hands
Stars: Liam McIntyre, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Viva Bianca, Craig Parker, Katrina Law, Tom Hobbs, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Luke Pegler, Lucy Lawless, Dan Feuerriegel, Nick Tarabay, Cynthia Addai-Robinson | Written by Allison Miller | Directed by Mark Beesley
Spartacus and the few remaining members of his rescue party are on the run from Roman search parties led by Marcus, who is aided by the snake Ashur, who I’m sure will swop sides, or at least attempt to, by the time this season ends. Spartacus is determined to leave no slave behind, and turns into one man killing machine the likes of which haven’t been seen since John Rambo. Mira has his back and gets some great kills in herself, what she lacks in training she makes up for with fury.
One of the reasons that Spartacus is so gripping is because only a few of...

Spartacus Vengeance – Episode 3: The Greater Good
Stars: Liam McIntyre, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Viva Bianca, Craig Parker, Katrina Law, Tom Hobbs, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Luke Pegler, Lucy Lawless, Dan Feuerriegel, Nick Tarabay, Cynthia Addai-Robinson | Written by Tracy Bellomo | Directed by Brendan Maher
Spartacus: Vengeance is a show with layers, at first glance it’s a men only entertainment, full of nudity, sex and graphic violence; but as the story progresses we get a hint of what these characters would be like in a less violent world. Yes, there’s still plenty of sex, nudity and violence, but they just emphasise what a brutish world the characters live in.
Spartacus and crew continue their search for Naevia, in the process freeing more slaves, and Agron shows he has leadership potential as he pushes for a move to the more defendable Vesuvius. Relationships are evolving for everyone in this episode: Agron sees...

Spartacus: Vengeance – Episode 2: A Place in This World
Stars: Liam McIntyre, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Viva Bianca, Craig Parker, Katrina Law, Tom Hobbs, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, Luke Pegler, Lucy Lawless | Written by Brent Fletcher | Directed by Jess Warn
“There is but one place for an animal without honour.”
Viewers who’ve seen episode 4 of Spartacus: Blood and Sand – “The Thing in the Pit” know just what Oenomaus means when he utters those words in the first episode of Vengeance, but it’s a surprise to find out that he got his start in the Pit and was saved from certain death when bought by Titus Lentulus Batiatus to be trained as a gladiator. It’s eye-opening to see how much better of a lanista and man the elder Batiatus was, and how he could really inspire his gladiators; his son Quintus only showed this ability occasionally and for deceptive purposes.

Spartacus: Vengeance 2.02 "A Place in This World" Review
Spartacus: Vengeance continues rising out of the ashes of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, offering up its second episode "A Place in This World," as Spartacus and Crixus begin the search for Naevia while Oenomaus (Peter Mensa) struggles to reclaim his honor and find purpose after what he's done. Far from a sophomore slump, "A Place in This World" offers a somewhat quieter, but heavy with purpose episode for the series' renewed vigor.
So…it’s over, right? We’re into the second episode of Spartacus: Vengeance now with “A Place In This World,” and the audience has had weeks of “Fugitivus” available to get used to Liam McIntyre in the title role, right? The season is in play, and we can move past the curious tragedy of it all to appreciate the bloody spectacle for what it is? I say this not out of disrespect,...

Spartacus showrunner Steven S DeKnight has revealed that the series' second season was influenced by Game of Thrones. DeKnight told IGN that an incest sub-plot was removed from Spartacus: Vengeance to avoid comparisons with HBO's fantasy drama. "All of us writers on Spartacus love Game of Thrones," he said. "It's just so well done. "It's interesting because we did have an incest plot planned for Vengeance, with the twin characters of Seppius (Tom Hobbs) and Seppia (Hanna Mangan), but when I heard that Game of Thrones had it as an integral part of the story... we didn't go there." DeKnight continued: "We didn't want to repeat something that somebody else was doing. And Game of Thrones did it so brilliantly [with the (more)...
