    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Before the two cross blades, Gannicus expresses surprise that Spartacus fought in the style of Dimachaerus. Unlike Gannicus, Spartacus originally fought in the style of Thraex and was selected to fight with dual swords after becoming Champion. Whereas when Gannicus was introduced in "Gods of the Arena", he was fighting with two swords before being named Champion.
    • Goofs
      While fighting Spartacus, Gannicus hits him across the back and of course 10 pints of blood come from the wound, 20 seconds later when the fight has finished, not a single scar or cut marks the entire back of Spartacus even thought at this point his back should be full of scaring, old and new.
    • Quotes

      Naevia: Would that all scars were so easily erased.

      Crixus: I see no scars.

    Asher's Dirty Dozen Go Longest Yard On A Certain Spoiled Punk!
    While not as explosive the previous episode (Spartacus and the gang literally blow up the arena to free Crixus and their other friends) and not as character driven as the following episode (Gannicus fully dominates the action and reveals a heart of gold under that lazy grin) this is still an exciting episode of Spartacus: Vengeance.

    The best part of this episode: watching Asher put together his special team of vicious killers. I didn't know whether I was watching The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Yard, or Blazing Saddles! (Glaber: I want mugs. Pugs. Thugs! Asher: Ditto.) When they run wild in the final moments of the episode they set up some shocking and unintended developments later on. Hands off that bracelet!

    The worst part of this episode: watching Crixus and Naevia doing the endless, mopey, weepy, relationship stuff that has nothing to do with anything else that is going on in this story. I really liked Crixus better when he was a mean bully! Here he's all sensitive, and it just drags the whole story to a halt.
