...Yeah, I just rewatched the last two episodes of Rome. HOT FICTIONALISED ROMANS CURRENTLY MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN THEORETICAL WANK-CAUSING ONES. WHAT CAN I DO.

Anyway, yes. This show. If you have not watched it, then... I don't know what I can say to you. You are an empty vessel leading a joyless life. I have many reasons I could give you, but right now, have just the one really, REALLY compelling one.













Yeah.

Ah, see, this is why I'm no Roman scholar. I was just like, OMG, HE HIT HIS WIFE FOR FUN. ER, WHAT?

It is logical, I admit that. But I thought the writing for S2 was all over the place in general. It became so much more brutal and focused way too much on the sex side of things. I know that was a big selling point in S1 too, but it seemed more balanced then.

Oooh, question!

*SPOILERS*

Do you think Lucius really died in the end? A lot of people suggested Titus' lack of real grief in the scene with Octavian suggested he didn't, and it was all an elaborate coverup about the kid. (Me, I thought it was a symptom of said bad writing, but I'd be interested in your thoughts on it.)
