Finally saw what I was missing from the ep so there is my belated second part of the review.

Also, that open Season-crack they made in the "Magnificent Seven"? Well, on TwoP it`s true right now. Prey of choice answers to the name of "Dean".
Seriously, all the dumb lines in the world would not justify that intense backlash to me. Let alone the heretofore unseen people popping up to express how their disgust for the character has once again been thouroughly validated. I see, the second a fictional character is losing popularity, it`s jump-on-thebandwaggon time because apparently it was impossible to speak out against a fictional character before. Whatever.

Acts 3-5 )

You know the downside to watching a show like Rome?

You can never go, "aww, Brutus faces that whole legion by himself, hope that works out for him" or "who would have thought that Antony marries Octavia and not Julii Cooper, shocking" or "gosh, I hope Octavian won`t become emperor and change his name to Augustus or something." Heh.

On the other hand this show manages something almost no other with a larger cast does with me, I like every single character. And they are wildly opposing to each other, they are rapists, pompous assholes, murderers, thiefs, crude jerks yet everybody is human and symapathetic to me. Go figure. Maybe that only works in the context of their time though.
