Not really a 3rd take... gods of the arena only came about because the actor that played spartacus was battling cancer. It was a "filler" as anime junkies would put it.
The second season of blood and sands should be back to the original formula

Just named it 3rd take for lack of better wording it.
Fillers leaves the main story arc and spins around something else for x amount of episodes. Since Crixus is pretty much part of the main arc, I fail to see how you see this as a filler as it's clearly back story and not something pointless as that is what fillers is.
Fillers main reason is to "stretch" a series for something like the manga normally to catch up and then they stop. They tend to brake canon and do more harm imho than good.
Gods of the arena focus on the story of Crixus and how he got where he was, basically same as how Spartacus climb the ladder. Hence rehash.
For those who missed it
