In the 18th century, NY was obsessed with naming cities after classical locations

this may be a dumb question, but the previews for next week said that there are only three episodes left. Is that for this season, or is the showing coming to an end?

This show really does get better with each new episode.
I really loved this one, I didn't even notice how fast time flew!
Titus is a great character....Octavian was awesome too. Calling out
his sis like that (and their "scene" together
).
I really can't wait for next week...this has become my favorite show, surpassing Lost.

One of these days I'm going to drive around Queens and find the secret pass the British used to flank Washington's army.

I really love to look at Octavia. She's :drooly: as well as Titus' slave. I know that is the last thing that should be on my mind in something like this but with all the naked ugly women on the show I'm happy for the occasional break from them.
Really enjoyed the opening bit and the suicide/euthenasia deaths. Seemed to ring true.

I'm curious to see how the relationship between Pullo and Vorenus is played out. The events of this episode seem to drive a huge wedge between them, unlike the comparitively petty things in the past episodes.
I didn't see an episode of Rome until last week where they went through all the episodes. It's frustrating to have to wait an entire week to see the next episode, and then only getting to watch one new episode at a time

Terrific episode, another hour of my life absolutely flies by. I was very glad to see that they didn't try and show the future Augustus as some sort of dupe.

Who would have ever thought you could work the line "You fucked your sister you little pervert" into a show of such quality

Only 3 more episodes left! I liked the character work of Pullo this episode. In past episodes he came across at times like a clown, but a couple scenes in particular added great depth to the character. First, his pained response to Niobe's scolding him for touching Vorenus' toga. It was quick, but effectively conveyed the stab of pain that the character must have felt, getting the hint that he was about to be phased out of a friendship because he was consider too low class. And the scenes with the slave girl, where you can see that he's fallen in love with her. Nice work by the actor here.

Pullo to Vorenus: "You look like laundry."
I felt bad for Pullo. He looked all sad cause I guess he sorta is feeling like his buddy Vorenus is selling out and leaving him behind.

Yes, I realize that works better as a spoken joke than a written one, but what can you?
