i'm still on the fence about pullo and the peach scene. all i know is that it was painfully uncomfortable, especially for cicero, and because of that i think it worked. cicero was lovely. he was also one of my favorite characters...this series won't be the same without him for me :/
I think I am going to think – “OK, I love this show and forget all this as a blip” for now. I see that they were trying to build an allegory/lead to Pullo’s confession that the only thing he knows/understands is violence. Characters are like people, I was probably reading to much into the Pullo’s character, imagining him to be different.
two of the best characters are gone. damn. its still such a damn shame to think about.
It is a sad thing with Rome, isn’t it? I was very bereft when Caesar died, I really enjoyed his character and I love Ciaran Hinds.
our little rome-watching group has agreed that agrippa is a little, uh, wishy-washy as a character. especially in a series where most of the characters are morally ambiguous and so complex...it really does feel like he's straight out of a g-rated disney adaptation of the hobbit.
I think everything is setting up for his change. There is going to be a big heart break ahead and I doubt he is going to emerge as the same cheerful boy at the end of it. ** sigh ** So I treasure this happy moments for now.
