That was a great ending. I also liked the new guy playing Augustus, from the BTS stuff I saw I wasnt too impressed at first
Who were those guys with Augustus though? Was it an army of kids? And Im not too crazy with the Timon story, I just find myself saying so what... I guess she stopped giving it up to him though cause it seemed liked an odd time to grow a conscience.

I couldn't stop grinning when Pullo met up with "Young master". My absolute favorite part of the series is the interation between Pullo, Vorenus, and Augustus.

Very good episode. Loved the ending, the guy that was about to nail Vorenus' daughter qualifes as the last person on earth you'd want to be at that moment.
Poor Agrippa, he got shot down big time by Octavia.

BTW, was the show hinting at the fact that Caesar, Agrippa, and Maecenas made sure that the two other generals never recovered from thier wounds? Makes sence, because now Octavian marches into Rome as the sole hero

Well I think we have waited too F'ing long to see Atia NAKED again! Granted Polly Walker has put on a few pounds lately but seeing her completely naked in the pilot episode was breathtaking! MORE MORE

I'm guessing polly modified her contract to have less nekkid.
I really like how the tension is building up
Marc Anthony in the North.
Octavian on his way back to Rome with his Army
and Brutus off in Turkey raising his army.
and all the while, Vorenus and Pullo go about their business.
Servilia has had it really bad, that's the 2nd time Atia has battered her, when they cut of all her hair etc.

BTW, am I correct in translating the title to "The Turtle and the Hair"?
What could it be in reference to, as it seems to me that Brutus is the Turtle, dwaddling with his Legions in Turkey, but thats kinda where the parable peters out

Man, I love this so show so much. I'm so upset that this will be the last sesason. It's so hard to believe, especially since the show is really hitting on all cylinders. I think it's interesting that we're finally getting some background information about Timon, although his storyline hasn't completely captured me yet. By contrast, Vorenus' storyline the past few episodes had been the one that has been dragging for me, but what a great payoff to it! Those scenes at the slave camp were really emotional and rough.

Neither of those two women are nice people. Timon should have made them cat fight it out or something.
