Wow just read about the next ceasar and war with Marc anthony. Wow that is going to be fun!
Now that you know does it give more weight to those scenes with the future Augustus? Especially those last scenes with the murderdeathkill looks toward Servilla...you know what's coming, and you know how intelligent and calculating he is. Servilla just signed her own death warrant...what a ho-bag.
And did you read up on why he comes to power, and the issue with Ceasar's egyptian kid? I was kind of sorry they didn't bring Cleopatra into Rome, because I believe that happened in real life.
Marc Anthony, the senators pursuit, Cleopatra, Octavia, Octavian, Vorenus and Pullo et al should make next season pretty great.
I hope they up the budget now that the setpieces are all built and show some more war brutality like the arena scene.
Julius Ceasar's death was simply amazingly shot. Very human; very sad. I'm glad he didn't say et tu, Brutus...his face and eyes said it with more volume than his voice ever could. Pain and hurt on him that the knives didn't inflict. When he tried to cover his face with his toga, that was just sad. Outstanding scene. Cirian Hinds should get an Emmy for this show...and I'll miss him next season. Sucks that you know he's going to bite it but you still get attached to his character.
