    cesar's death was more gory, but not exactly what i was expecting

    great show, while deadwood does a good portrayl of a community in its infant stage, rome is about a mature community with all of its political allies and enemies in place. like "the wire", it also does a great job of connecting everyone's lives up and down the food chain, from ceasar to his family, to his soilders.

    No kidding!! :eek:

    This show is just absolutely awesome. Easily my favorite show right now and maybe ever. It is just so good on so many levels. The acting, pace, everything is just fantastic. I love a lot of shows (24, Heroes, Lost, etc.) but they can't touch Rome.

    I watched it and thought it was better than I hoped it would be! and I had high hopes after a year and half wait!

    I was in tears at the end, I feel so bad for Vorenus, when the Mob guy said what he said, wow, I felt my heart breaking along with his

    Two and Out for 'Rome'

    HBO show begins final season in September

    July 12, 2006

    LOS ANGELES -- The fall of "Rome" will happen sometime in early 2007.

    HBO announced Wednesday that the second season of its epic series set in the time of Caesar will debut Jan. 7. At the same time, the network says next season will be the last for the show.

    Filming on season two is currently taking place at the Cinecitta Studios in Rome and will wrap in October. Once that's done, though, the show -- a co-production with the BBC -- will call it quits.

    HBO Chairman and CEO Chris Albrecht says that "Rome" was originally envisioned as a miniseries, but after seeing the quality of the first scripts the network and its partners (Italian broadcaster Rai was also involved) decided to go ahead with a full-blown show. However, after dealing with the logistics of shooting overseas and the high cost -- reports pegged the price tage for the first season at somewhere around $100 million -- HBO made the decision to pull the plug (the commitments of BBC and Rai were due to run out after the coming season as well).

    The show's first-season ratings on HBO were decent (most episodes drew between 2 million and 3 million viewers) but not at the level of "The Sopranos" or, say, "Six Feet Under" in its prime. It did earn a fair share of critical praise and last week was nominated for eight Emmys.

    The second season will pick up following the death of Julius Caesar. Most of the principal cast is scheduled to return, including Kevin McKidd, Polly Walker, Ray Stevenson, James Purefoy, Lindsay Duncan and Kerry Condon.

    Well, I imagine there's not going to be much of a story left to tell anyways once Octavian takes over.
