Spartacus Vengeance Preview: Episode 9 - Monsters

This Friday night’s episode of Spartacus: Vengeance is the second to last of the season, or as the promo for the episode states, “the last episode before the season finale.” Or, Episode 9. But the best thing we can call it is “Monsters.” That’s the title, and wow does it stir up some interesting mental pictures. In fact, when I think of “monsters” and Spartacus: Vengeance, the some of Ashur’s buddies come to mind, what with all the skull-stomping and nostril stabbing. It’s less the violence that disturbs me as it is their seeming enjoyment of it that conjures up the whole monster image.

“Monsters” may or may not have to do with the Egyptian and Ashur’s other violent pals. We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, here’s the promo for the episode.

No sign of Ilithyia in the above video, unless I missed her. But there were caped men jumping over a wall, which I’m thinking is bad news as the Romans are usually the ones dressed all caped up (unless we’re looking at another situation involving rebels in disguise).

I’m starting to think that Spartacus could state just about anything while gradually increasing the volume of his voice and his men (and women) would cheer. He has a very motivational way about him that way.

Spartacus: Vengeance airs Fridays at 10:00 p.m. ET on Starz.
