Spartacus Blood And Sand Episode 5, One would think that the formula of lots of gladiators training in an arena, Spartacus lamenting the loss of his wife, Batiatus and Lucretia scheming their respective schemes, and the plot leading up to a boss fight would be stale by the fifth episode, but Spartacus: Blood and Sand is still managing to keep things fresh. The latest episode gives us a much-needed insight into a character we’ve seen a lot of (nudity pun intended) but don’t really know that well: Crixus.

The hook of this episode is that the Magistrate is interested in using one of Batiatus’ men in the main event, or Primus, of his latest games. One fighter has already been chosen, belonging to Batiatus’ rival, Solonius.

Batiatus, naturally, chooses his best fighter, Crixus, but is distraught to learn that his man will be fighting Theocles, the “Shadow of Death.” (Although, unless my Greek is rustier than I thought, I think his name translates to “Glory of the gods,” but any brainiacs can feel free to correct me in the comments.)

Theocles is a villain of whom we’ve only heard tall tales referring to his gigantic height and invulnerability, and the only man who ever survived a fight with him was the trainer, Doctore.

Solonius, a mustache-twirling villain if ever there was one, suggests Crixus be joined by Spartacus, and Batiatus agrees. (Spartacus’ friend Varro teases him later about how they make a cute couple, so I’m copyrighting the name “Spartacrix” right now.) The problem? Crixus hates Spartacus somethin’ fierce.

But why does he hate him? Up until now we weren’t sure, other than he was a bully/antagonist, and so it’s his job to hate the main character. But as it turns out, there’s a bit of depth there.

In a review of a previous episode, I talked about how the gladiators talked big about how they were gods among men (with Crixus the most vocal), but we could tell that it was just a cover so they didn’t have to admit they were slaves. Well, once Spartacus and Crixus learn they have to work together, Crixus starts to go on the familiar tirade, and Spartacus calls him on it, saying they’re all just slaves. And naturally Crixus responds by attacking him.
