alexandralI'll try to be quick with this because I need to pick Sasha from school/do our Monday library trip in 20 minutes, but if I don't write things down my heart can burst. :D As ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
balenoptera was saying, what did I do before the age of LJ?
I loved this episode, but my heart is in pieces for everyone. I never thought I would say this about Brutus (I remember thinking during the history classes "at least the man received his comeuppance") I feel such a pity for him, and in a way I understand why he did what he did. But ** shudders ** watching the beautiful and incredibly sad scene in which he tries to wash himself clean and knowing what the future generations are going to think about his acts, I WAS CRYING!!
- Vorenus gone of his rails completely. I don't like him any less for this, but his scenes were very painful to watch. But all props for Kevin MacKidd who did a great job.
- I was actually pleased (if the word pleased can be applied here) that the reason of split between Pullo and Vorenus wasn't anything to do with Aventine. The timing of Pullo's slip of tongue was very very bad, but the rest of the events are very believable for me. So much believable that it hurts.
- But of course being in the army again is going to help Vorenus a little, and then Pullo will find the children and then they are going to be together again
I must admit with shame that my knowledge of Roman history is very weak. Enjoying Rome so much makes me want to understand more about the history, Romean gods, etc. I apologise very much because I should be really finding some literature about this, but if you don't mind filling me in
- Was Agrippa ever in love with Octavia?
- Did Cicero write that fabulous speech in reality? It absolutely has made my day. Roman cenate as presented in this show reminds me of some controversial days in Russian Duma (Senate) where they had a brawl once.
Alexandra's picture of the day: Titus Pullo on a horse speeding ahead to the rescue of his brother's children:
PS: I have to run!!!!!!!!!!! I hope my grammar is only as bad as usual. :D

Date: 2007-01-30 09:59 pm (UTC)1. I know what you mean, I was feeling Atia is not having the best times, but I was too heart-broken for Vorenus and Pullo to feel bored.
2. I have a question: but Why Brutus was in Persia?
I think they don't go for an exact adherence to the history in "Rome", I just accepted it
3. That was one very interesting scene :D
4. My heart is broken for both of them, but yes, the things Vorenus was saying are completely unjustified.
I can't wait for the nest episode too. :D
