Since everyone is posting spoliers I guess I can express my disappointment too.
I remember the writers saying that they prefer writing about the female characters, whom they considered much more interesting than the male ones and then they decide to kill them all, except for one, who no one likes. The new Naevia is just bad. Her entire fight with Ashur was beyond stupid. I'm surprised that the gay couple didn't die as usual.
The only reason I can think of for killing Lucretia is Lucy Lawless deciding to leave the show, since she was not only the biggest star, but also the director's wife (so she could've stay if she wanted to). Absoulutely gutted that she's not gonna be a part of the show anymore, but it is still a very entertaining show, so I'll definitely keep watching.
