rmCan I rant about the utter awesomeness of this show again? It keeps getting better and better. I feel like I can't blink when watching it -- there's so much subtlety in the performances, so much that passes between characters in glances and flickers.
Watching the evolution of Caesar into a fool who believes his own PR is fascinating. His one on one interactions with Antony and Octavian and Brutus are just fascinating.
And Brutus -- my god, talk about a character I never wanted to like and certainly never would have drawn this way, and yet... poor creature. Too slippery to keep himself alive, because in the end he has no allies, he's just a tool. It's so mediocre, and he's such a child, he can't see how it's happened to him until it's too late. I mean, sure, I like him because his features are too sharp and not quite right besides and his teeth are crooked the way mine once were (mine were much worse actually), but I just have all this strange compassion for the poor bastard (and a lame crush on the actor, it would seem from the amount of time I just spent Googling the fellow. Oi).
And since it seems clear that Caesar will meet his end by the end of this seaon, it means next season will be all about Mark Antony and Octavian. Yay Max Pirkis. He's such a damn excellent actor, and I'm so excited he's getting to be more than a precocious kid in all this.
So good.
In other news -- LOST -- Poor Sayid.
