ROME!!!

[TomSelis]

AHHHHH!!! Titus Pullo is still the man! Head removals, limb removals, then his buddy jumps in and saves him! Flawless victory!

I think I just pee'd a little....

[NickTheQuick]

THIRTEEEENTH!!!!!!!!!!

Good episode, I was just gonna comment on it, but I couldn't find that old thread. Shit's really gonna hit the fan next week.

[TomSelis]

I know, I looked for it too...I think it said Rome (with a whole lot of periods after it) Didn't turn up in the search.

When he was screaming 13th I was like Yeah! My nigga! He bodied a good eight men before he went down.

This show is just slept on too, too much.

[NickTheQuick]

Yeah some good shit... the shield to the neck was a great move.

Some great actors on that show, I am expecting major Emmys next year. I didn't recall seeing any of these actors anywhere before, other than Ciarán Hinds (Caesar) as President Nemerov in Sum of All Fears. But then I looked at some of their credits and saw all sorts of appearances where I should recognize them from. Ray Stevenson (Pullo) was in King Arthur, where he plays a similar type of guy. And Polly Walker (Atia) was, among other things, in Patriot Games which happens to be running on one of the premium channels these days. Interestingly enough her two characters are both very conniving. And I just watched Kingdom of Heaven where Kevin McKidd (Vorenus) has a small part. He prominently displays his permanently constipated look. I could not leave out Indira Varma (Niobe), the half Swiss half Indian actress who starred in Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, lol. And so on...

Btw, the other thread is now showing up in similar topics on the bottom.

[TomSelis]

Ohhhh...Niobe could get it.

I figured the actors from Rome were in other things in bit parts. Since they're all British actors, they wouldn't really play big parts in American movies. Alot of them are classically trained at the Royal Shakespeare Company, so you know they have skills.

LOL@Vorenus' constipated look. "Speak plainly citizen." *Constipated face*

[chefmike]

another incredible episode....that battle in the arena gave me goose bumps it was so intense!!

[steven_638]

Kerry Condon, (Octavia) had a big part in "Unleashed" with Jet Li and Max Pirkis (Octavian) had a decent part in "Master and Commander" Pullo also had a small part in "King Arthur".

Last night's show was AWESOME, it's gonna be tough waiting until 2007 for the next season. HBO says they start filming in March. I hate the way they do that...It has been 2 years for the "Sopranos".

I will admit, I wasn't expecting them to go completely through Caesar's reign in one season, though.

[steven_638]

oops, forgot...thanks Nick, for posting those photos of Indira...God, she is hottt Imagine her with a cock???

[Quinn]

The arena scene totally made this episode. Vorenus did the right thing. Loyalty first, no matter what the cost. I like it.

-Quinn

[ptyseminole]

Excellent show, the best since The Sopranos...and thanks for the vids!

[kennbo]

I too enjoy Rome, but I think I Claudius was better. Anyone agree with me, or am I on crack?

[kennbo]

I just turned on The Virgin Queen on PBS and who did I see but Vorenus, still in need of a good laxative. Looks like a really good show, check it out.

[chefmike]

I'm getting ready to watch the arena scene again...oh, yeah....

[NickTheQuick]

Season finale in 1 hour!!!!!!!!

[chefmike]

Fuckin A! I heard that they've commited to another season, also. And it won't be terribly long before Tony Soprano reappears. I also think it would be very cool if they re-ran the old Dream On series.

[chefmike]

" The guards can protect me from my enemies,
but they cannot protect me from my friends."

Don Corleone could not have said it better.

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

speechless........................................

[kennbo]

I read that the next season of Rome won't be on until early 2007. Another long delay like the Sopranos.

[NickTheQuick]

I read that the next season of Rome won't be on until early 2007. Another long delay like the Sopranos.

You're right.


Damn damn damn, why get rid of Niobe????

[chefmike]

Caesar is dead but Rome lives on!

[RawNY]

"I could not leave out Indira Varma (Niobe), the half Swiss half Indian actress who starred in Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, lol. And so on... "

She was incredible. Especially the scene where she licks and nibbles on the things of her childhood friend (when they are older, perverts, LOL) What a bush they all had.

[Remi]

- Caesar's funeral (season 2 opening episode)
"No prostitutes, actors, or unclean tradesmen may attend."

[TomSelis]

Good episode. Vorenus as an underworld boss....hmmmmm.

[peggygee]

I was quite into it last season, however this year I haven't stayed
current with it.

At some point I will get caught up via HBOs On-Demand. 8)

[TomSelis]

You only missed one episode, Peggy. It'll be on like five times this week.

[chefmike]

It's gonna be hard to top the first two episodes this season, IMO.

The 'Son of Hades' episode last week kicked ass.

And it was so nice to see the delightfully slutty Cleopatra again...

I am a Son of Hades!

[BeardedOne]

Damn! Caesar dies?!? :shock:

OK, that's an extreme suspension of disbelief on my part (Hey, I'm the guy that sat in the theatre during Titanic screaming at the sceen "Full on! Not full reverse! It makes the rudder ineffective!").

Seriously, just started watching Season 1 on DVD and it's great. I'll be back to trade notes when I catch up. :)

[chefmike]

"Would you like a chance to redeem yourself, Centurion?"

[TomSelis]

We haven't discussed this in a couple of weeks. It's taking some crazy turns. Vorenus got his kids back and.....they hate him? That symbol his daughter made at the end of last week's episode bugged me out.

That chick....Gaia.....cot dayum!!!

[otherguy]

The last two episodes have been whacked! The whole pimping out the daughters and torturing of Sevilia were downright hard. It's on now...gotta run!

[BeardedOne]

Damn! I'm really behind on this. I've only just gotten to the part where I wanna do Cleopatra. :lol:

[chefmike]

This season kicks ass!

"Now that's an exit..."

[TomSelis]

This season kicks ass!

"Now that's an exit..."

And Pullo's still the man!!!

Erinne: You should beat her like that once a month.

Pullo: *cough* *choke*

[chefmike]

Pullo: *cough* *choke*

LMAO....yeah, that was good stuff.

Tonight's episode looks like it's going to be excellent as well...and it's coming on in 10 minutes.

8)

[Quinn]

It's definitely just gets better and better. A great show.

-Quinn

[TomSelis]

Pullo bit a dude's tounge out of his mouth!!!!!

Holy Shit!!!

13TH!!!!!

[swimnn]

Next time someone pisses you off, use the curse from "death mask". This show is so good, I deleted porn off my DVR to make room for it :)

[Remi]

Just watched episode 8 today ... Titus Pullo reinvents the "french kiss", it's not to be missed. Rome is superb!

[chefmike]

Last night's episode.... :jawdrop

[RawNY]

It has taken some time to take off, but Rome is beginning to seem like th eoriginal Sopranos! I wish they still partied like the did in Rome! and now Cleopatra is back. I cant wait for her to climb on top of Mark Anthony!

[chefmike]

Cleopatra looked very fucking hot and sultry!

[RawNY]

Yes she did.
How about the whore in the chain mail outfit earlier in the show. I am sure they had transexuals then, wonder what it would have been like?

[TomSelis]

It's a shame there's only two episodes left...ever. They rushed through a lot of shit this season. But last night's episode more than made up for it.

Cleopatra was looking good...no panties, see through dress. *slurps* and that weird walk is hot.

[otherguy]

Pullo bit a dude's tounge out of his mouth!!!!!

Holy Shit!!!

13TH!!!!!

Pullo continues to rock. You knew he was going to kick some major ass when he showed up in gladiator armor. My favorite was the guy getting the waraxe to the head and it staying there as he fell. Rome gets fucking mean and nasTAY.

[Remi]

Only a few Rome episodes left and you just know that Octavian & Mark Anthony are gonna have a showdown for the finale ... handbags at 10 paces!

[chefmike]

Only a few Rome episodes left and you just know that Octavian & Mark Anthony are gonna have a showdown for the finale ... handbags at 10 paces!

LMAO...no doubt.

And only a couple of episodes left....it's gonna be pretty damn hard for HBO to surpass Rome or Deadwood...I'd trade the last season of the Soprano's for another season of either one at this point!

[chefmike]

Cleopatra was looking good...no panties, see through dress. *slurps* and that weird walk is hot.

She does bring a new meaning to the phrase "walk like an Egyptian", doesn't she?

[ezed]

Totally in agreement! Was debating tonight which was better Rome or Deadwood? I don't know, I love them both! But last night's episode was a doozy!

Wow, that's a tough one. Still, as much as I am a huge fan or Rome, Deadwood was/is, in my opinion, better.

[chefmike]

That's a tough call, indeed...

[Remi]

It's ironic the BBC have yet to announce when Rome season 2 will be shown here in the UK, thank god for the internet. Found some interesting stuff on Rome ... take a look at the list of directors, Michael Apted, Carl Franklin, Tim Van Patten (who's done episodes of The Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire.) Also interesting to see how various countries handle the sex scenes and strong language. The BBC deem the word "cunt" unacceptable for prime time viewing, why they want to schedule Rome for prime time is beyond me, ... they should allow as many "cunt" expressions as the directors intended, after all, it was the british who invented the word.

Deus Impeditio Esuritori Nullus.... (No God Can Stop A Hungry Man)...

[chefmike]

Soylent Green is people!!!!

[Fabianefan]

Anybody see the one of the most recent episodes? When Titus Pullo bit some guys throat out! Really got my blood pumping.

[Quinn]

Go Octavian.

LMAO @ the Soylent Green reference. What a great movie, despite it's extremely depressing tone.

9:24pm WHAT A FUCK SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chefmike]

9:24pm WHAT A FUCK SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuckin A!!!

Favorite quote of this riveting episode:

"He blackens his eyes with soot like a prostitute!"

[RawNY]

9:24pm WHAT A FUCK SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible!!!!!!!!!! I saw your post and watched it with my girlfriend. As would be predicted, she started to smack me in the face while fucking. My face was sore, but not as sore as her...um......, well, ya know.
I am trying to find that bra that Cleopatra wore and surprise her for her birthday.

BTW, do you think he came, it seemed like he was finishing himself while she was talking about birds and eggs, lol

[chefmike]

Aahhh....Cleopatra....you wretched slut....

[chefmike]

:shock:

[Quinn]

Vorenus???? Noooooooooooo.......

-Quinn

[TheGuard]

That was his destiny, you could tell that's where his character arc ended...or did it? haha

Great send off to a wonderful show.

[DX4LIFE]

this is my show

[TomSelis]

The Pullo and his son thing was funny at the end. I was sad to see Vorenus go.

[RawNY]

Sorry to say I was a bit disappointed at the end. I hope the Sopranos has a more fulfilling ending.

[TomSelis]

Somehow I doubt it.....

[chefmike]

Somehow I doubt it.....

Exactly...after the last Sopranos season...no high hopes here, either...but I'm looking foward to 'Big Love'...

[chefmike]

I just watched the last episode again...and I gotta say that it was great to see Vorenus and Pullus fighting side-by-side again...it sucks that the series is over, but nevertheless, I think that it was a damn fine last episode...

Octavian on Vorenus: "That man turns loyalty into a vice."
