Rome, Testudo et Lepus, and icons .

I liked it very much!! "Rome" is my favourite à la Dumas story of two ancient Roman musketeers. Whatever is happening in Rome, Pullo and Vorenus are sure to be involved!!!! My head is hurting from triple-day over iconing, but I don't really care. :D

+ I like Simon Woods as the new Octavian, he seems to be so ENERGETIC, but I have to watch a little more of him to complete my mind.

+ But I think my loyalties to Pullo and Vorenus are seriously shaken because I do, do love Agrippa so!!! he is so straightforward and good and honest inside and is not so good with words ,especially where women are concerned, and this is one of the things I just adore in men (RL or fictional). And Octavia does seem to be rejecting him flat so this is going to be one-sided doomed love of which I am also a huge fan of.

Agrippa screencap of the day

Oh, boy!!! You better quit right now!!!!



I liked his squabbling with Maecenas (who is also lovely in a bohemian sort of way) :



+ And as to the rest , you know what is the best thing on earth? Pullo and Vorenus, of course! That after a short word exchange involving "I only said so because I wanted to make you angry" from Pullo (oh, Pullo, I love you for the way you said it was so gentle!!!) and reserved "I know" from Vorenus they quickly fell back into their normal, absolutely comfortable way with each other. And they were camping near the fire and Pullo was making hints about the slave camp and really he was saying that HE was in a slave camp once. And Vorenus was not asking a word, but just listening. ** sigh ** As long as these two are together I will watch Rome and watch more of it!!

+ But wasn't that keen on Servillia's storyline, it just seemed to be unnecessary somehow. They could have shown us more of Pullo and Vorenus, or Agrippa, Octavian and Maecenas.

Pullo and Vorenus shot of the day: Camping again!!




And EEEE! Icons!!! (I am so sorry, I can't stop just yet). Icons are free to share ,if you like I will make customizations, like text and etc., for you.
Spoilers, big spoilers.

Rome continues to amaze more and more. The greatness of it is unbelievable *-*. The last scene with Vorenus taking his kids and Pullo following and the music playing was just one of the most wonderful scene I've ever seen in a tv show.

Oh and Agrippa was so adorable ^^. Love your icons with him.
I really had a good first impression of Bingley's Octavian ^^. I loved Max Pirkis take on the role so it wasn't an easy transition in though but actually it works just fine.

Someone does know the name of the other friend of Octavian? I couldn't catch it.

It was Maecenas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maecenas). I liked him too, I wish we could see more of him!!!

Absolutely agree!!!! The scene with Vorenus hugging the little boy was so toughing. He wanted to hate the boy, but could not. The boy's eyes were looking straight into his soul (sorry for being sentimental, but i just love this scene!!!). I thought boy looked very much like Niobe.
