99 Words About … The bloody end of ‘Spartacus’
After this season, it’s history.
Aside from introducing Julius Caesar, curiously one of few Romans without a Caesar haircut, not much has changed for the final episodes of the swords-and-sandals-and-sex epic “Spartacus” (9 p.m. Friday, Starz).
It still displays more skin than a dermatology textbook.
And the fantastically, hilariously violent series still treats heads the way Gallagher treats watermelons.
It’s like someone attached fire hoses to a blood bank.
Just don’t demonize “Spartacus” for that.
Yet.
Save it till the next mass slaying committed with a sword, spear or the terrifying one-two punch of a net and a trident.
