ROME - Season 2 (HBO)

OMG !!

Did you guys see tonight's episode !!

What a setup for the season finale next week.

I hope it is a 2 hour season finale....I can't believe they are ending this show...best show on TV since Firefly.

DD

 

Yeah, I don't know how the writers dreamed that one up....

 

Haha.

I got to the second sentence in DaDa's post above and thought, "He's going to bring up Firefly."

 

What is this show? Better than Heroes?

 

Wait, they're ending to the show at 22 episode? sad

 

One of the best shows of all time...

And Rome is every bit as good as Heroes....and IMHO, a bit better.

DD

 

Man what is this? I was just watching season 2 episode 8 and I thought there would be some gladiator style fighting. Instead all they do is talk... and some sex scenes. Reminds me of nip/tuck.

 

You, McGrady, should be banned from ever posting again.

 

Nip and Tuck?

You need to watch more than one episode....this is a GRIPING drama...with characters that you come to care about...

I was happy to see that Pullos current squeezy got hers tonight....and that she confessed to murdering Pullos' wife.

Heroes is good, but not great.

It's just not at the 24, Lost, Entourage, Rome level.

Man do I miss HBO.

 

I know, I agree. There's sooo many loose ends they need to tie up and what not. I doubt they could cover it all and create the fantastic ending the show deserves by rushing and cramming it all into one 1-hour episode.

 

HBO has gone overboard with its sex scenes. at least the scene last night with Octavian was borerline p*rn.

 

Sort of, but you really did not see anything other than Asses and t***...

DD

 

cannot WAIT until the finale. I hope it's 2 hours as well, but I think it's just one hour.

It will be interesting to see the outcomes of Pullo/Vorenus (being on separate sides and all)

Amazing show. Probably one of my favorites...ever

 

Ok, just looked it up on DVR, it is 1:15 minutes long.

Show runs from 8pm - 9:15....which is slightly better than an hour.

Dang, I am going to miss this show.

Guys, I hate to ruin the ending for you but historically there's a little thing called the "Pax Romana" which started after

Spoiler

the Battle of Actium

which would have made for boring TV for the next 200 or so years - and even the part that came after that has already been done by Russel Crow.

They'd have to fast forward to the late Roman Empire and get a whole new cast to make it interesting again.

Though the real reason they're canceling the show is cost - I can't think that running out of really interesting historical events is part of t he reason why it's breaking now.

 

Yes, but it is Rome and a new season could be all about a new cast of characters.....

You are correct though in that August Ceasar (Octavian) became the first emporer and ruled for 41 years, and is generally considered the best emperor of all time.

DD

 

LOL. I know about the spoiler.

But it would hve been better, looking back, if they would have stretched out this time period a bit longer, as in Caesar getting killed at the end of this season. There are enough interesting characters and good enough writers to have stretched it out a lot more.

After season 4, we could be where we are now and it would have been a great run...

Regardless, damn fine show

 

It is definitely sickening that the show is ending. I could easily have watched another 5-10 seasons of just Octavia.
