Oct. 30th, 2010 12:08 pmRewatching Rome S1. ITTY-BITTY OCTAVIAN IS SO ITTY-BITTY. (Also human. And Octavian, but, you know, ITTY-BITTY. Man, Max Pirkis is good.)
It's interesting going back to the beginning -- I tend to have problems with facial recognition, to the extent where, yeah, I do need to be around half a season into a show to figure out who people are, sometimes, so going to the beginning and actually being able to recognize people, especially the ones who are very similar types (read: everyone in the Senate), is nice. Also now I know a bit more about the period, so that is also very nice! Oh, Atia, I love her a lot.
Seriously, itty-bitty 1.01 Octavian is SO ITTY-BITTY. Also occasionally he sounds like a history textbook, but it's in character, so it mostly works.
I really love the family dynamic between Atia, Octavian, and Octavia. It's one of the cores of the show, and it falters a little in S2.
