Rome
I'm a little breathless and so sad and it was just what I needed.
I was s moved by Cicero's death.
And by Brutus'. Brutus in particular, this Brutus, has really plagued me emotionally throughout the show. I know most everyone is on about how he's weak and a coward, but what strikes me about this portrayal of him over and over again until his very last moment is his naivete. He hasn't the tools for his place in the world, for his life, for even his passions. And I feel bad for him. I do. Deeply.
Meanwhile oh chilly little Octavian and Antony trying to deal with each other. Especially that business wehere they are making up lists of people to kill. Aie. I miss Max Pirkis, but this new Octavian is damn eerie and odd too.

I am already starting to be disappointed that this is the last season. I agree with your comment--it makes Sunday nite a treat.

Still, two seasons of great historical drama is nothing to sneeze at.

Have you watched any of the "Behind the Scene" series on Rome? If not, I recommend it, they are rather interesting and show the level of effort that was put into this production.
Oh BTW, I popped over to your page and enjoyed your writing on all of this. I need to leave a comment or two.
I have truly enjoyed the writers' interpretation of the characters and the actors' portrayls. IF only half the stuff on television was the good, we would be in trouble as a productive society.
