All episodes except like the three first of season 1 are fucking amazing :O

If you watch Gods of the Arena first you're gonna be horribly spoiled for Blood and Sand at the beginning of the first episode. So I wouldn't advise watching GotA first.

This is exactly what I think too. They mention syrian quite a few times, how he has a brother, etc. I think it will be a twist of some kind of significance where maybe Ashur is going to kill Argon and the guy has to make a choice and kill his brother or let him kill his 'love' or whatever he becomes. Again, pure speculation but hard not to at this point.
....it seems there will be a new character. Ashur pulling someone out of a well to aid him!! Info about the new character + Show Spoiler +
Not 100% but from the dreadlocks seen in the preview I'd say it's this guy. Named "The Egyptian" Looks like he's roughing some romans up. Ashur getting revenge, lol?? :D

Maybe Barca never died and it's him climbing out of the well! Not sure why Ashur would help him though

Wish this show would stop killing off characters that have 0 character development, like that guy whos supposed to be crixus right hand man, i am supposed to care about someone dying when i don't know anything about them? Thats anothing thing this season is missing, varo and barca type characters, people who you learn to like because the show develops them and kills them off and you actually care about it.

Glaber also instantly lost any sympathetic quality. Oh my god... so horrible, why!?!??

This episode had character development.
Specifically, Gannicus, Nayviah, Glaber and Asher all had development in some way.
For Gannicus his motivations were revealed in detail and we learned that he will not be drawn to the cause of Spartacus easily. For Nayviah we learned that she desires to become a fighter, which considering her character thus far in the season can only be a good thing. And for Asher and Glaber we've gotten to see them embrace the villain roles for the first time truly this season. Before they could almost be sympathized with for how much they were being controlled or manipulated. Not any longer really.

Dual weild vs Dual weild made my nerd heart beat fast.
Glaber turning so decisively cold was awesome too. Syrian (sp?) also boss moded 3 romans at once to back up what he was saying.
But when the big dude threw Spartacus his second sword, and Gannicus realized what was up. Oh man... The one shot where Spartacus switched how he was holding the sword showed his prowess wonderfully, really sold the notion Spartacus was the better. That fight was a long time coming, glad it happened.

every fight is complete shit competed to previous seasons (way too much bullet time, excessive amounts of horrible cgi blood, zero tension etc ), so far i only liked the one in Colosseum and they burned it down -.-, on top of that new spartacus is bland and boring if it wasnt for crixus and gannicus i wouldnt even bother to watch it
just to remind you how awesome it used to look like
