![]() ![]() The taking of Sinuessa en Valle has put Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) in a peculiar position, where his army grows restless waiting for the next phase of their campaign against Rome and the surviving citizens (now in chains) begin to pay the price for their captors' idleness.Īs it was in the season premiere, Spartacus is occupied with leading an army thousands strong, so things slip by his normally watchful eye. It's a nice moment that might have been even better had Spartacus not made mention of it, but the notion of those chains being turned against the enemy looms large over the episode, as it becomes clear many in Spartacus' impressive army are still burdened by the suffering they endured as slaves. 'Men of Honor' begins with a great bit in which Attius (Cohen Holloway), the blacksmith who never met a coin he could refuse, is working to forge the rebels' new swords from the repurposed metal of chains and shackles. ![]() After successfully taking Sinuessa en Valle - an episode last week that wisely placed the burden of setting the course for the season early on - Spartacus: War of the Damned distances itself somewhat from the need to move various pieces around the board in anticipation of what will come next, and focuses a bit more on that very action.
