Episode Name Dropped by: -

Memorable Death: THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favourite Line: “Gods save me. I find myself in agreement with a Gaul.”

- I absolutely adore baby Oenomaus.

- He’s so vicious, I am totally here for it!

- “All men can be tamed. No matter how wild.”

- “If I held such desire, you would be split in two.” – that Batiatus family gets the best lines!

- Oenomaus in his Pit wear is fucking creepy.

- I love how bored with everything Chadara is.

- NASIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Loving the shadow fight. And it’s nice to know the gladiators can fight without screaming.

- I know mostly everyone on this show is either NZ or Aus, but this dominus sounds super Australian.

- Ah, good old ‘Tiberius’

- So I read somewhere that back in ancient times it was totally fine for men to have sex with other men, but as long as you were the ‘top’? So this dominus asking ‘Tiberius’ to “place cock in arse” is a really odd thing for those time. But, oh well.

- These slow-mo fights are one of my favourite things about Spartacus.

- Agron isn’t even using weapons this season apparently. He’s gonna use his fists to kill the Romans, or drown them in tiny ponds.

- Fuck Yeah Mira!!!!

- Spartacus loves stabbing dudes through the back of the head.

- All the gladiators grouped together look like a modelling shoot.

- Agron looking at Spartacus like “we weren’t actually given a choice. It was either follow you or die in that fucking ludus. Not much choice there buddy.” Then Spartacus looking at Agron all “shut the fuck up Agron”

- “I am Spartacus” – that line will never not get to me.

- The show of slavery here is amazing. The dominus is on his knees with a blade at his throat, essentially weak, and yet one word from him has his slaves cowering. That’s inane.

- Acer in the background all “yeah buddy, you about to die”

- The moment this guy realises he’s fucked up is brilliant.

- “How could I know that she held meaning?” “Did she not breathe? Did her heart not beat like any other woman’s? Yet you did not see a woman, did you? You just saw something to be used and discarded. You just saw a fucking slave!”

- I weirdly like Rhaskos and Chadara.

- “A rise too slight for eyes to notice.” – YAS MIRA!

-  “A skill lacking in most men.” – SERIOUSLY MIRA IS QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

- This scene with Chadara basically explains her entire character. She is of the belief she has to have sex with someone strong and important so she can be safe. She never breaks that way of thinking and it’s kinda sad.

- “The hope of love to come. A danger in its own right.”

- Rhaskos penis. Honestly not as slight as Mira would have everyone believe.

- Salty Sassy Agron is my fave.

- Love that Agron knows Naevia is surely to be fucked up by her enslavement. No one else mentions it at all.

- “Every man has his worth.”

- AGRON AND NASIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I would love to know what goes on in Nasir’s head when Spartacus removes his collar. I mean he’s basically grown up with that, how utterly naked would you feel without it? No wonder the little dude wanted to kill him.

- Ilithyia’s body slave is gorgeous!

- Flashback penis, again.

- That masturbation scene is so awkward with Glaber walking in, holy crap. BUT I do love that they portray female masturbation.

- Actually all these Spartacus/Ilithyia sex flashbacks makes a whole lot of sense for the end of S2.

- “The gods would rather piss on Rome than whisper in her ear.” I love how bitter Ilithyia is.

- Seriously Glaber, you clearly don’t know how to please a woman. You can’t make her feel like crap then expect her to want to have sex with you….

- GOATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH THE FIRST NAGRON EPISODE HAS GOATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My shipper heart is soaring once again!!!!

- Oh crap, I didn’t notice this first time. Mira saying she’s never known the comfort of a bed. Shit man.

- Oh gods, the awkward “what are we” talk. Yikes.

- “Let me never be from them.” – shit man, foreshadow? I’m not ready for that!

-  I wanna believe Sparty has genuine feelings for Mira, but I also think he’s just telling her what she wants to hear without outwardly lying. She is clearly in love with him, but he doesn’t feel the same. He’ll never love anyone but Sura (and Varro, if we’re being honest).

- NASIR!!!!! Dude is so brave to take on the legend that is Spartacus. I love him.

- I remember when I first watched this, I started laughing as soon as Nasir started talking. HE’S JUST SO KIWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- “You but take my masters place.” – so powerful.

- I love how Nasir already has his snarl down pat. He is constantly baring his teeth. I cannot wait for the first hiss, oh gods!

- NAGRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Holy fuck I love the banter between Sparty and Agron, ITS SO GOOD!

-  Don’t hit the precious Nasir.

- Don’t lie Agron, we all know you’re into that “wild little dog.”

- I’ll say it again, SALTY SASSY AGRON IS MY FAVE!

- Oh, saw the girl with the penis that looks a hell of a lot less cgi than last time, yay.

- I love seeing Oenomaus fighting!

-  “One must learn to kneel if he is ever to rise.” – yeah, but you ever gonna see any of these Romans kneeling? I don’t think so.

- Baby Quentis.

-  I do actually really like Titus.

- I honestly thought those hooded figures where rebels. Imagine my surprise…

-  Aww, chain around the neck reminds me of a Supernatural episode.

- Oenomaus in the Pits is fucking scary.

-  I get that he’s lost and purposeless but Oenomaus is basically committing suicide in a very elaborate way. SOMEONE HELP HIM.

-  “You wish to leave this world, I shall ferry you.” – no Anubis, wrong answer.

- AHHHHHH I love Agron training the new recruits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But then again, logically is that really the best option? Agron was only in the ludus for a few months whereas some of the other guys had been there for years. Shouldn’t someone with more experience be teaching the newbies?

- IT WAS A HISS!!!!!!!! A baby hiss, BUT A HISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I do love how much of an interest in Nasir’s training Spartacus takes. But then later in the season and the next it’s like they were never friends?

- “And when it becomes as a feather? What purpose do you think it shall fly to?” “One of your own choosing.”

- I’m sorry, but Pana is fucking beautiful.

-  Agron checking out Nasir. Sweety you ain’t subtle. SEE Donar sees it too!

- Noooo. Lucretia get away from that goat, what did it ever do to you!

- “I so wish to please you,” – hey there sexual tension.

- Okay the woman in market that comes to give gratitude to Lucretia is so beautiful.

- BAHAHA Ilithyia being friends with Seppia is hilarious!!!

-  I do really like Marcus and his friendship with Glaber. It’s one of the few friendships where I don’t pick up on any romantic or sexual overtones.

-  Seppius and that piece of fruit are really freaking me out. It’s all kinds of gross.

- This whole season seems to be about stripping Glaber down. Everyone (except Marcus) is picking on him and making him feel worthless and small. Poor dude. I mean he’s still an arse, but maybe he wouldn’t have been if everyone cut him some slack. Maybe.

- Crixus is totally posing on that couch behind Spartacus! It’s so overtly sexual, holy crap! Haha!

- NAGRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, this scene!!!!!!!! AGRON IS SO AWKWARD! Dude cannot flirt at all! He’s so precious.

- AHHHHH DURO MENTION!!!!!!! I’m not ready for that! =[

- Nasir actually looks a little regretful after insulting Agron, MY SHIPPER HEART!

- Mira saving the day!

- “Freedom is not without cost.”

- The ritual is actually pretty cool…but did the goat have to die?!

- Ilithyia isn’t stupid. I wouldn’t give someone so clearly unstable a sharp blade either.

- THE GOAT HAS GOLDEN HORNS!??! Are you kidding me!

- "Your will, my hands” hey it’s back!

-  Titus and baby Oenomaus are really sweet.

- Smirking Nasir is beautiful.

- Why was Agron the last to jump out and fight?

-  Agron yelling for Spartacus gives me shivers.

- Nasir’s first kill!!! Woo!

-  “My brother called me Nasir.” MY SHIPPER HEART IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
