So I watched the 22nd and final episode of "Rome" last night and all I can say is that its been a hell of a ride. What an outstanding show.

LOL, No man! I watched the 2 seasons of Rome over the course of 3 months or so. :-)

I just mentioned "22nd" because that's the number of the final episode.

Rome was a FANTASTIC show, Mark Antony was my favorite character. I didn't care for the grown up Gaius Octavian, he was such a panzy.

Additionally, it's gonna be interesting seeing Ray Stevenson (Titus Pullo) as the new Punisher.

Well, I dont know how historically accurate the adult Octavian was portrayed in the show but yeah, he certainly had a lot of flaws. IMHO, he wasn't a quarter of the kind of leader and man that Julius Caesar was.

Heck, the younger Gaius was a better leader than him. Lol.

Yeah, I think that's part of what made Rome such a good show. The characters were not predictable. The young Octavian seemed very smart and ethical but the older Octavian seemed overly harsh and even a bit unstable at times.

Thanks Buff for your penetrating and insightful intellectual contribution to this topic.

But yeah, there were some nice looking women on the show.

I didn't think she was special in the first season either. Now the slave girl who Pullo ended up in a relationship with, SHE was hot.
