"You want my money to raise an army, I want to see a Roman woman fucked by baboons"
Pretty good episode, and it looks like we are going to start flying through the time period now.

Yeah I told my dad right before the guy started reading that I'd give that scroll to someone else to read.

Was I the only one who found the scroll scene funny?
They hand him that big ass scroll and when he unrolls it - the paper is the size of an 8x11 sheet of paper!
I was expecting this big long decree on this giant spool of paper.

Awesome episode! The fight scene between Pullo and Vorenus was well-done. Two well trained soldiers just going at it.
And would you ass-rape a guy who was about to take a dump? Just curious.
It makes me very sad that this is going to be the last season. Is it just not popular enough to be profitable to make more? I could watch this show for years and never get tired of it.
The preview for next week hints at a different actor possibly playing Octavian. Pullo doesn't seem to recognize him right off and they never showed him in the preview. Maybe they made the original actor hit the gym?

Both Rome & Deadwood cost in excess of $100 million per season to produce. That more than viewership (each average 5-7 million in audience) probably led to their early endings. I certainly find it heard to believe they were losing money on them but the HBO Entertainment division supposedly has been hemmoraging money for a while and axing the two most costly productions was the decision made. I subscribe to HBO -only- for the original entertainment. Most other HBO subscribers I know are the same way.
Seems like they could have done better by churning out the DVD editions more quickly and lowering the price point to where more people would buy them.

For those interested there's an article over on hbo.com/rome by Jonathan Stamp (co-producer). It gives additional info. on Cicero's speeches against Antony. A few minor spoilers...you've been warned:

Good episode, but it felt a bit 'off' to me. The acting in the first half, mainly Vorenus, seemed out of character or fakey.
The episode picked up later though and Im glad Pullo and Vorenus had their fight and thats out of the way, I was afraid the season would end with them killing eachother. Brutus sure looked like Jesus for awhile

Great ep, I got confused, was the assasin kid in Attia's house the same kid who got a55 f*cked?
And may, this ep was a gay man's dream, it had 2 dlcks, and 2 a55 f*ck scenes. I had the same thought everyone else had, I wouldn't want to do a guy in the butt ever, but I REALLY wouldn't want to do it to a guy about to take a shlt.
I really want to see Pullo come out of all this ok, I keep fearing that his wife is going to get killed somewhere along the line.
MORE FEMALE NUDITY PLEASE
