Okay, that was a strange show last night! The whole Octavian/Octavia thing is just too weird...and whatever happened to Cleopatra? I was expecting to see more of her? I am starting to develop a serious crush on Lucius Veremus (sp?) though! :)
 
RE:

The Octavian/Octavia thing was icky, but this is Rome eh? I guess Cleopatra stayed in Egypt. When will Mark Antony meet Cleopatra? After Julius Caesar's death? Maybe we will see more of her later. I can't believe there are only 3 eipsodes left. I wonder how Servilia will retaliate. Timon seemed to have second thoughts about the attack on Servilia. Is Pullo jealous of Vorenus? Not sure what is going through his mind. I am going to miss this show.

RE:

Autumn...that's what I was wondering...when's the whole Cleopatra/Mark Antony thing gonna happen? I think Pullo is a bit jealous of Vorenus (glad you knew the correct spelling! lol)...but also I think he's just lonely...yeah, I sure do wonder also about what Servilia will do now. I really feel sort of sorry for Octavia. I'm gonna miss this show too!!
 
RE:

i thought last night's episode was the best yet! i love titus pullo!!! HHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT:9 plus, he has all the funny lines. i think he is upset that Vorenus is not standing by what he belives in and is disapointed in him. he may be a bit jealous, but i doubt it. he did get to shag Cleo after all;-) i need to go check out the hbo forum and see if this show gets resigned for another season. does anyone know? i like it alot. after last night's episode, i am curious about what actual history has to say about Octavia/Octavian's relationship. i was thinking he slept with his mother, but maybe that was Alexander the Great...hell, who knows. So do you think Atia had that done to Servillia or Ocavia did it in retaliation for believing Servilla lied to her about Labius????

RE:

Jes...I have to agree with you that Titus Pullo is a cutie too! LOL And you're right, he does have the best lines! I think Atia had that done to Servillia because I'm not sure Octavia has it in her, though finding out about Labius may have pushed her over the edge! lol
 
RE:

DH and I both love this show! It's right up there with my other HBO faves The Wire and Deadwood. I do remember reading Rome got picked up for another season, although I bet it will be awhile before we see new episodes. I can't imagine how long it takes to film a series like that.

>>do you think Atia had that done to Servillia<<

Yes, I think it had to be Atia, she's just evil! But I love her!

RE:

I am with ya Jes, Pullo is HOT!! I think Pullo may be a bit jealous of Vorenus' life (wife, respect, etc.). But, I think you are correct about him being upset that Vorenus is not being true to himself. I like how the friendship between Pullo and Vorenus has developed.

I think it was Atia, but we may get a surprise.

Lori, thanks for the good news about next season.
 
RE:

i'm slobbering all over myself when Pullo is on the screen}( it's the eyes i think. The rest of him doesn't hurt though.

i bet it was Atia too. I love all hbo series....but they do make you wait FOREVER in between seasonsx( Everytime an epsiode ends i curse the tv;-) cause it always leaves you on the edge of your couch

RE:

I love this show, too. Am still waiting to see when and how it's going to come out that Vorenus's wife (can't remember/spell her name! Naibi?) cheated on him and had a baby with her lover. Now that Vorenus is a senator, you just know it's going to come out, and in a bad way. Historically, Mark Antony and Cleopatra became an item after the death of Caesar. The show seems to be sticking pretty accurately to history, so that might not happen until next season, depending on how fast they decide to move their timeline along.
 
RE:

i went to the hbo website. i can't believe that we won't get season 2 until 2007!!:-(

at least we get Sopranos back next year.

i think Naobi's affair with her BIL will come out too. But it won't be the sister's fault. I bet Servillia or Octavia have something to do with it.

RE:

I like the show very much, and I also think that Titus Pullo is jealous of Lucius Vorenus. The brother/sister scene was strange, but nothing suprises me in the series.
