I know I'm not the only orger who tuned in and throroughly enjoyed this short lived series for it two seasons and for those who aren't aware, HBO has been re-airing those seasons on HBO West each weeknight at 8pm. Can I say that I've been enjoying it, even more so than I did when I originally watched it 9 years ago?

Vorenus and Pullo were and still are my favorite team fighting duo. They took care of business and had each other's backs, even when they seemingly had written each other off.

Can I say that whoever casted the show was brilliant? James Purefoy who portrayed Mark Antony was made for that role. He brought the humor just when it was needed but was also fiercely stern. Ciaran Hinds was great as Caesar...I know that he's currently on Game of Thrones as Mance Rayder.

I was so disappointed when it was announced that the show was getting the axe after just two seasons due to enormous expenses, however, it seems that whatever mistakes were made with Rome, were surely lessons learned when it comes to "Game of Thrones".

Do any of you have any favorite scenes or episodes of "Rome"?

I haven't watched it in a while, but I loved it when I did watch it. I don't know about the Shakespearean Romans that kind of irked me a bit, but I got into the other stuff.

Ok, yeah, I need to rewatch it because there obviously is a few things I forgot about.


But it'll be slow since Blockbuster is now defunct. That's how I saw it the first time, I could binge watch it for real that way. Netflix doesn't stream HBO shows and my dvd queue is full right now.

Do you subscribe to HBO through a cable service? If so, you could watch all episodes on HBOGO. If not, Amazon may possibly have the seasons 1 & 2 at a good price since it aired nearly 9 years ago.

How 'bout the scene with the gift of 'large penis'? That certainly springs to mind.

Yeah that was in season 1. What a wonderful gift it was.

I could have sworn that more orgers tuned into this, then I forgot, a lot of orgers have since left.

Couldn't get into this show much. James Purefoy was/is a little too smug for my liking. I liked the tits though.

Okay, I retract, the Oxford-ish scholarly bantering is a bit annoying, wish it were a bit more gritty. I know they get past that eventually if I remember correctly.

Why did I start this? Now I've pulled out my "Man of Rome" book series to start reading all over again, those colored my view of that era, which isn't quite meshing with this tv series.
