bedlamsbardOH GOD DAMN ROME END ON A CLIFFHANGER WHY DON'T YOU.
In other words, finally made it to 2.03. Gah, I really wish that this show wasn't condensing time as much, it's really frustrating; I feel like there's so much awesome stuff going on off screen but I don't get to see any of it. On the other hand, Agrippa was adorable.
ETA: Thoughts on actual content: Huh, there was a lot of sodomy in this ep, wasn't there?
What, we only get about an ep and a half of The Godfather: Ancient Rome? FAIL. Although, let me tell you, Lucius Vorenus is no Vito Corleone. Not even a Michael Corleone!
Please tell me that letter of Cicero's is an actual historical document that survived. Oh my god. Please let that be a reenactment of an actual historical event.
Again: so much fail on telling and not showing, that three month gap could have been dynamite, but come on, show. I get that you were running on borrowed time and all, but STILL.
