Where the hell do you get those ideas? Kidnapped by aliens, lol? I think it's still pretty good and certainly interesting. Obviously they are compressing events that occurred over a few years time, limiting the scope of the size of the armies for practical reasons and taking some artistic license with events that happened over two thousand years ago. But the overarching gist of it is as historically accurate as one can expect. None of us know for certain if Spartacus died in the final battle with the Romans although he almost certainly did. It remains to be seen how they end this final season of the show and if they give us a glorious death, a tricky escape for Spartacus himself or they leave us with a Sopranos style vague ending.
