I wish there was a way to save this show... it's a crime that there's only one episode left. It is truly one of the best on TV.
Imagine if they had more time and didn't need to skip ahead in time so much. What a shame.

Livia
Yeah, the skipped years make you wish they had more seasons to tell the story they've tackled in just 2 - there's more than enough material from just the history. Browsing Roman history at wikipedia I saw that Livia was actually Octavian's third wife - but "Rome" just skips those minor details. Really looking forward to next week. The final showdowns with Octavian and Antony, and Pullo and Vorenus!

Solid episode
I liked Vorenus describing Pullo to Caesarion when he asked about his father.
Livia and Octavian I thought he was the one that was going to beat her

The scene with Vorenus dismissing Atia and Octavian was heartbreaking for the two women. And seeing Pullo take his revenge on Gaia was very tense, especially since she seemed to have changed in the last few years since she poisoned his wife.
Sad that there's only one more episode, I'm hoping for a sendoff worthy of the series.

Biting off a guys tongue? Run-of-the-mill Badass.
Biting off a guys tongue… and then keeping him caged like a hamster for two years? Titus Pullo-league Badass.

Enraged, Pullo strangles the last breath from Gaia and carries her limp body outside, dumping it like a bag of trash in the muddy water.

Though they might not fight, as is looks like Vorenus is starting to waver in support for Antony.
