Great ending. It wasn't the intrigue and soap opera shenanigans of the previous two weeks, but the show had only an hour to settle all accounts. I loved the creative way they got rid of Tullius (sp?) and the little creep. The best moment of the episode I guess had to be with the girl. I felt so bad for her.

The ending was a spectacle and a half. I wish I saw this on a huge TV not on my computer because that last Battle Royale had to be something to see. And I liked the ending to Gatticus' story. Now Spartacus is off for another year. I wish the show had been 12 episodes, it is the best show on TV and it isn't on nearly enough.

I just watched the finale and I'll come out and say it, I cried a little at some parts. :ph34r:

The ending of Diona story was ever so tragic, but I was so happy for Gannicus.

This is was a great series and I'm looking forward to the new episodes after the downfall of the House of Batiatus.

I haven't been able to see the last episode yet. For some reason it isn't showing up on Netflix for me. Hopefully it will soon. I wonder if Starz regrets that this was only 6 episodes. It seems to be as well received as season 1. I really wish it had been 13 episodes and that Gaia had lived to the end.

Thank you, Q. That worked perfectly. Wow. That was a great ending. This has to be one of the few successful prequels in TV history. Usually they are a weak attempt, but this was just genius. I give the credit to John Hannah and Lucy Lawless, who played their parts to perfection. I've assumed that Batiutus died and Lucretia survived, but I wonder if there is any hope for him. The producers must see that that he's an amazing character. I would watch an entire show based just on Batiutus and Lucretia.

Me too, but I had the feeling she welcomed death. It was her only real way out. I felt really bad for her friend, too. Her name escapes me, but she had to be overwhelmed with guilt.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
