Didn't see THAT coming, eh?!?!?
Et tu, Brute?
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

ROFL spoiler alert was in the title page so its allowed..
As for killing Caesar what a ugly way to go -- not a few quick deadly strokes but a large number of shallow wounds..
Not a fan of watching Caesar twitch on the ground befor he died..
Honestly if you didnt watch this series - you missed out on some great TV. They haven't really focused to much on fighting -- only in the first episode was there any large battle scene and it was done farily well I thought.. however when the put Pullo in the arena -- my god what a fight scene... among the best of any I have ever seen.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I'm catching up. The second season of ROME will begin soon. Tonight, I stumbled on the first 3 episodes of the first year. It was a good time to sit and watch, and so I did. Very enjoyable!
I'll catch up on the rest of the episodes before the second season begins.
I love that the two of the lead women have curly red hair (yup, I'm deeply superficial, I am). Atia is one foxy, cunning, and treacherous babe, and I've only seen 3 episodes. I can't imagine what other trouble she'll cause.

I'm caught up now. I've seen the entire first season. ROME is the best television series I've seen, ever. Much as I love LOST, ROME has a richness and depth that no other series has ever achieved, IMO. It is stupendous.
The second season starts tomorrow night. I can't wait.

Pretty good season premier. Picked up right where it left off. I expect Vorenas to be a little cranky this season.

Do you think his kids and his sister-in-law are really dead? I suspect they were sold into slavery and he may meet up with them in later years.

I think you've hit it spot on. It was a shocking moment when the guy claimed to have done what he claimed to have done. Rome generally doesn't pull any punches and I think they would have shown the act had it happened.
