EXACTLY!!!!!

I love this show. Every week I say that I am not going to watch and wait until the end of the season and watch them all.

Poor Brutus. hehhehehehe. He cant catch a break for anything. Everything he plans, fails. Marc Antony and Octavius are going to gang up and kick his rear. I am sometimes distracted by how much he favors Joel Osteen.

HBO On demand have all these shorts that give you background on the making of ROME. One short talked about the historical authenticity. That was pretty interesting.

I was somewhat familiar with the history behind it but only on characters (people) like Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony and Brutus. So yesterday, while avoiding work, I googled and found some more detailed info on Octavian and Atia. Apparently, history has her recorded as a much more gentle, compassionate mother. The rest of the stuff seems pretty right on point. I can't wait until....nevermind. I won't spoil it. I'm interested to see how the writers will handle some of the twists and turns that should be coming.
