Rome, Testudo et Lepus, and icons .

[alexandral]

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.

Oh, Alexandra, GORGEOUS icons! I will have to decide which ones to take – it’s so sad, because after every episode, I have to have new icons :P (Maybe I will get rid of the Atia ones – at the moment, I do not like her so much!)

And oh, thank you for the screencap of Pullo by the fire – yes, I agree. He was once a little boy in a slave-camp and I think he knows how much it scars you – and this is why he will not condone Lucius leaving behind the little boy, although he knows absolutely the best way to tell him this and it’s so lovely. (I cried when Lucius hugged the boy!) SNIFF!

Eee! New icony goodness. Definitely taking young Lucius with Vorenus "sniff" and maybe new Octavian/Caesar. Thank you!

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

I had to take Pullo and the horsie.

I loved this episode (except for the women, who were boring). Lucius and his children... I was all guh from start to finish.

I'm sorry for intruding on your Rome glee (I'm terribly behind and have to skip all the spoilery squee), I don't know if you already know this, Ilya Kormilzev (from Nautilus) passed away yesterday. http://www.gazeta.ru/culture/2007/02/05/a_1332677.shtml

I liked this episode too, but not for the main reason (i think!). the new Octavian is what i define "the new Marc Antony", because he looks like a good guy but i don't see him as leader to re-conquer the power in Rome. And, most important, i think their main interest i not politic but women (maybe because the actors are good looking? James is amazing!).
As Cicero said about his vanity, i'm agree with him. :)
The thing i loved most about the character is when Agrippa talked about Octavia, and he almost smiled thinking about her. Hope that their relationship will not change very much this season. Just one word: it's better Max Pirkis's Octavian! Anyway, i loved Azia's line about Jocasta (when she said "do you tell me your name, again? It's silly but funny!). Brutus is looking much better, while Octavia and Marc Antony are always my favourite, that's why i have always positive things to say. Ok, this is my little review (sorry for my english, but i'm still learning). Your icons are lovely. :)

[baleanoptera.livejournal.com]

Yay Agrippa! I'm so in agreement with you in regards to him. :D
I also liked the friendship between Agrippa and Octavian.

As for the Pullo and Vorenus part I need to digest it a little bit first. It was great, but the slave-camp was heart wrenching.
And when Vorenus hugged little Lucius? *sob!*

(and this is how I order my day - first thing I did when I got back home was to get the next episode, watch it - and then unpack. Perhaps I have a strange way of prioritising? Hee.)

Agrippa so totally blew it with his eagerness. Poor thing, he just likes her a lot. :-\ I just had to applaud by the end of this ep, when Pullo and Vorenus took the children out of that hellhole with the ROME theme song playing. Great episode.

Taking the first new Caesar icon and the Pullo & Vorenus one. Thanks so much for sharing! :-)

OMG, MR. BINGLEY IS OCTAVIAN????

[aerynsunx.livejournal.com]

Aww, little Lucius and daddy Lucius. Love it, love it, love it. Big, big thanks for that one. I took six, including Octavia, 2 Octavian, Pullo and Vorenus/Pullo.

I love the Pullo and Vorenus shot. When they're happy, I'm happy.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

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.

[ghada-bell.livejournal.com]

Awesome icons ! Taking the first one of Ocatvian ! I am totally in LOVE !

[typhon-9.livejournal.com]

Wonderful icons! I totally adore the new Octavian. He's a damn cutie.

[aphrodite-mine.livejournal.com]

Octavia! New Octavian! EE!!! TAKING!!

[portinari.livejournal.com]

They're all gorgeous! I think I'll take the Octavia and Octavian ones!

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Snagged the third in the second row - good job indeed.

[skylark29.livejournal.com]

Yay for Rome Love!!!

I'm sorry, I'm just so thrilled I'm not the only person (besides my mom) who loves this show!! It is so unbelievably brilliant. I still can't believe how I never would have been turned on to it if I hadn't taken a Women in Ancient Rome course last year (and my prof praised it).

Sorry...just I'm into a lot of fandoms and Rome is scarcely represented as it should be.

Snagging 1, 7 and 10...Agrippa is Adorable. I want to be the yet to be sired Julia and have his babies.

[ex-vivere116.livejournal.com]

Taken this one of Octavian - thank you muchly! ♥

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

HEY! I am taking the Agrippa icon third from the last! Thank you for making these!

[skandarrocks.livejournal.com]

Taken the Agrippa icons, he's gorgeous.

[royal-crest.livejournal.com]

Hello.
I just joined the Rome group and found your icons.
I am ridiculously obsessed with Agrippa (he's just so adorable); would you mind if I attempted to use one of your icons for AIM?

[venusdefined.livejournal.com]

"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!!!!

Exactly! Every time I see Pullo or Vorenus, well, really Pullo and Vorenus in their oh-so-manly friendshipness together I feel all happy and giddy inside. Those two affect my system like sugar, they go in, make me all hyper and giddy, and I don't know where it all goes but I want more! It's like Batman and Robin only they have swords and are wearing fancy manly skirts.

The icons are just lovely, I snagged all the ones with Pullo and/or Vorenus in them. Will credit.

I have to say though that Agrippa is somehow winning over my heart and soul with his oh-so-endering overtures at Octavia. I am torn between motherly petting affection and snogging my senseless.

[imagechild.livejournal.com]

ohmygoodnessohmygoodness I'm so THRILLED to find someone doing lovely Rome icons!! I want to do them every week, but my source isn't so great, and I don't want to use bad caps :P took Octavia and Agrippa from this lot--and the Octavia with bowed head--ohhh I'm so excited to see what other lovely icons you have!

[sunnyskywalker]

Found you through baleanoptera. These icons are so beautiful! I love the color. I'm taking Octavia and the Pullo and Vorenus one - will credit you.
