How you expect the future series to pan out?

According to history, Oenomaus, Spartacus and Crixus are all killed in battle, and several thousand surviving rebels are crucifed by Crassus.

How closely will Hollywood stick to, or deviate from fact? How will the open ends be tied up - and in how many more series, which might affect how much detail is depicted or how much/little impact the show has?

The principal characters of interest to me are;

Gannicus (Does he become the target of Oenomaus' wrath?)
Ashur (Will he become a 'grass' aiding Rome?)
Oenomaus
Crixus (Will he rebel against Spartacus?)
Ilithyia (

Huscarl66 this topic has been done to death which doesnt bother me becuase I love the story !

Gannicus - Theres no way the writers will let the storyline pass with him an Oenamaus, if you watch the new trailor it looks as if Gannicus is handing Oenamaus's ass to him in the arena ... factually their both generals with Oenamaus dying first.

Ashur - Did he leave the ludas, I dont think so, Have a feeling he will have a pivitol role, will he redeem himself or go out as a bad man we will see.

Oenamaus - Gannicus was his best friend who he lost for 5 years, the reasons for Gannicus leaving were a mystery to him, emotions will run high but sadly I dont think oenamaus is going to be around for long.

Crixus - He wants to find his love, he doesnt like Spartacus or Gannicus but he will do what he must to find his woman, if he find her dead or alive what will he do, historically he dies in battle but how will starz handle it.

Ilithyia - WIll die a horrible death mohahahahahahaha

I do have to say that although sadly our favorites will prob die in battle this all happened before Jesus Christ .... so the facts are questionable at the very least ! SO maybe just maybe Starz will have their own take on history, we will see.

Thanks, I don't think we'll be disappointed in the next series (how many?) next year, 2012, especially with the Starz community paying tribute to Andy Whitfield?
