ROME:
God, I can't believe there's only one hour left of this show.
I just love Posca and Jocasta as a couple. They're hilarious. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Vorenus telling Caesarian about his father, his true father. I also love the fact that Vorenus is watching over Pullo's child while Pullo is doing the same with Vorenus' children. And that even though they've been parted for years, they still care very much for each other. I also love that Pullo has the chance to be the number one guy in the Aventine, to be a leader and have Caesar's ear, though he still calls him Octavian.
Bwahaha, Memmio! A pet in a cage. It's so interesting to see how things have changed over the years.
Ray Stevenson was especially amazing in this episode. He's actually been just terrific this entire season, with Vorenus and Octavian and in Gaia's death scene. How his face went from sorrowful to blank to murderous. Did you see how he held is breath as he choked her? No words of prayer or a burning to send her soul into the afterlife! But it sort of came full circle for Pullo because he killed Eirene's love so someone else killed his. I should probably be annoyed that they keep killing women in this show, but oh well. Gaia did have to go.
Octavian and Livia. Kinky much?
And geez, Antony and Cleopatra, they practically devour each other, don't they? But I like that even though she convinces him to do, or not do, many things, she couldn't persuade him to kill Atia and Octavia. Antony is many things, but he is human and he does still care for Atia. I love how three-dimensional all the characters are on this show. They have their strengths, their weaknesses, tender moments, and moments of complete debauchery. Executed sloppily, I could very well dislike Antony (and I usually do dislike such characters), but I'm going to miss him.
Only one week left! I'm going to be so sad when I can't talk about this anymore. :-(
Everyone seen the PotC: At World's End trailer? What a kitchen sink film that's going to be!
