In his most recent column, TVLine’s Michael Ausiello teased this Friday’s Spartacus season finale, titled “Victory”:

Question: The Spartacus finale is just days away, and I have two Qs: Have you seen it? And, if so, thoughts? Scoop? —Jesse

Ausiello: Technically, that’s three Qs, but I’ll overlook it since I have answers for you. Yes, I’ve seen it. I thought it was a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to the series. And there’s (naturally) a ton of death (both pivotal and inconsequential), some seriously stunning (and gut-wrenching) imagery and a fair amount of heart-tugging flashbacks/callbacks. Yes, there’s some gratuitous sex and breastacle flashing, too. God, is that all you people think about?! Disgusting.

While many fans are sad to see the show end, Starz no doubt feels their pain. It’s their top-rated scripted series, currently averaging just under a million viewers each week.

What do you think? Are you looking forward to watching the series finale?
