I know! And I was struck by how easily they talked together in "the hotel" (what do you call it? Lodging?). The way they sounded like they had known each other forever. And they have the same sense of humour! (which I always find very endearing. Hee)
I think though Octavia loved her first husband, she was still very young and that relationship didn’t seem to be as deep. She has already suffered so much and meeting a person whom she loves and who loves her in return is so wonderful
But you are probably right in that it will fall apart soon. *sob* I just wish they could be happy for at least another episode!
As you said, I am very interested to see what Octavian says about this, or if Atia just tries to marry Octavia to Mark Antony in underhand sort of way, blackmailing her. I also try to figure who will be the one to give up their relationship first, Octavia or Agrippa. And ** shakes her fist ** if this will be Agrippa I will never forgive him. ;(
Re: Brutus's death. Yes, the way he died - and the way he let himself be killed was so well done. I was left with the feeling that he never truly got over killing the man he viewed as a father, and that this final action was Brutus's way of both trying to atone and remembering that.
I thought too, it was like he was always trying to justify his doing by saying that they are the heroes of the Republic. People who think they are right usually just get on with it, like Cicero did. But the good thing is, I will never think of Brutus in the same way I did before!
And to go from that to the closing shot of some thief cutting of his finger to get the ring. Ouch! That was so very, very touching and well done.
Oh, you reminded me of that scene. It was fantastic and very sad.
(Now if they had managed that with the Pullo & Cicero scene it would have been one hard hitting episode)
Actually there was so many possibilities, they just overdone it with peaches. (Some more ranting – in a way of parallel it is almost like Pullo appears to be like that thief)
