Rome II ep 7

such long faces

"No one believes what the news reader says..."

Boy that's true, but I'll try just the same...

HBO's Rome is back and see, I was right, there is much lamentation.

And lamentation, and lamentation.

I call for justice.

HBO's own site put it this way: "Servilia's incessant cries for justice drive Atia to distraction, and result in an unfortunate public denouement."

"an unfortunate public denouement" LOL, now that is an exit.

Real politics take a back seat to sexual ones in this episode, with everyone fucking the wrong people (oh no, not in the kitchen!) and marriages that will cause *all* sorts of problems.

You're fucking my sister you little pervert....here's Egypt by the way

Flashes of fun here and there with the Triumvirate dividing the World.

"Well, this is awkward...spit"

The gratuitous breast washing shot was also a highlight, as was a gift bearing King Herod stopping by...almost for good.

All mockery of Jews and their one God is to be kept to an acceptable minimum.

Amen. Mockery of the extremely dumb story line of the assassins on the other hand, is greatly encouraged.

Episodic. I would love to reedit this series.
