The other arc I liked was the one involving Spartacus buddy.
It's a pleasant approach because it blurs the lines between good and evil. So things are not all black and white as they first appeared to be. It was interesting to see an other side of him considering he's Spartacus nemesis in a way. Legends was also more about Crixus, played by Manu Bennett, and his relationship with characters like Lucretia and one of her female slave. In fact the last part was all about comprehending what it takes to become a legend. It's what Doctore tries to teach his gladiators and it seems some of them are still reluctant to apply his lessons. We learned through the eyes of Spartacus that becoming a legend wasn't only about will or fate. They should remind you of the Greek mythology, its heroes and extraordinary creatures. Yes because it's what this episode was a lot about, tales. Of course there're still some minor chroma key issues but overall the production is great and in a way they even make the universe more mystical. I specially liked that the creative editing from the pilot was back, with its surreal transition and splattering digital effects. From the sweaty training to the unpredictable and cunning Spartacus there were many scenes to enjoy. It blended all the elements that made the first two episodes, The Red Serpent and Sacramentum Gladiatorum, a success. An adage that applies to the show now that I've seen Legends. If the third episode is well done, the whole season is.
