Rome - 2nd series

[Admin]

I really enjoyed this first time around, and looking forward to the next series as well
Shame they didn't rerun the 1st series before this one though, just to refresh our memories.

I still had the last couple of episodes on tape - just watching them now

[Admin]

Lucky bugger, I remember the sexy wife fell over the balcony after he found out the child wasn't his?

[darrenj]

Just bought the first series on DVD. will begin watching it tonight.

[greendemon]

oh i am SO looking forward to this! missed the first episode so had to get mum to record, hope she remembered! thought it was one of the best things on TV in recent years; such a shame they're axeing it after series 2

[darrenj]

Shame it is ending after 2 series but always good to end a series at the peak of its success rather than let it drag on and become a poorer show.

[darrenj]

How sexy is Pullo!

A series that gets better every week.

[Admin]

Must catch up with the next ep, before sunday's ep.

[greendemon]

mother has been recording dutifully... i shall have fun when i get home! might have to watch the whole of season 1 again first

[greendemon]

i'm up to episode 5 now. please tell me there are more than 10 episodes?!

[ManicKangaroo]

sorry Jade, 10 is all there is

[greendemon]

and there will be no more series! all because people don't appreciate the GRIT

[Admin]

I do think they have upped the cussing this series, is it really that necessary All the cockney accents are a bit odd as well, have enjoyed it though!

[greendemon]

me and a friend decided that the 2nd series has less nudity, the same amount of blood and more swearing than the 1st but yes, it's been good.

octavian's all grown up - and he's turned into marc warren's better-looking and less freakish younger brother

[bugsbunysylvester]

i really see it evy time on over stuff on grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

mooo
yoooooooooooooooo

uppppppppppppppppppppp

[greendemon]

yeah - it's annoying on sundays, it clashes with 'how we built britain' and 'the commander', both of which mum watches! thank goodness for sky+

[Admin]

I'm taping the late night double bill thursday repeat, is it the last ep on wednesday then? And yes Octavian changed, how weird, why not do it at the start of the series?

[greendemon]

i believe the last ep is on sunday.

well bearing in mind the plot i guess they had to change octavian when they did; it's not just a change of actor - he's meant to have gone off fighting for 4 years and when he comes back he's 19 so they had to make him look older, really. having a knowledge of history is a bit annoying because you can kinda see the plot twists coming which is why i like that there's a lot of fictional characters!

i've been to rome

[greendemon]

oh and andy - who's your favourite character?

i have quite a few. pullo is growing on me - him and vorenus seem to have swapped; now he's the upstanding citizen and vorenus is the rough brute i think polly walker is a great actress. i really dislike atia as a character, but her antics can be VERY amusing!

[Admin]

I do like Pullo, although he fell into the trap laid by the bad prostitute! "You should whip like that every week!"
Vorenus is a bit dull, but a damn good killing machine, dont think I'm that keen on many of them, I just enjoy the story, I cant remember all my history, so am intrigued how this will go Was shocked by the marriage of Marc Anthony to the daughter though!
