ROME - Hbo

[SC4EVA]

Did anyone check it out last night? Picked up HBO thinking it might be a good show but I dont know - Wasnt really that exciting.

Give it time to start off. The Sopranos first Episode was introductory also. They still introducing the characters.

 

[SC4EVA]

Hbo is like $20 a month though

 

[The Shadow]

It will rock in a couple of weeks I think

 

[needtogetaas]

yes it looks like it should be a grate show.

 

[WODIN]

The first episode sucked.

The direction sucked, the casting sucks, the character development sucks.

What really peeved the me was that lines had some common modern english dialect. WTF?

Then just wait till it comes out on DVD and rent it. You get boxing matches too.

You know..a good Latin dialect is tough to find these days

Yeah I know...but that one scene with Ceaser and Brutas and Mark Antony could have been in an old British WWII movie rather than a series set in Ancient Rome. It should have been more generic.

 

[SC4EVA]

Didnt know ancient romans used Bloody - Also I know that was ALL filmed in Rome area but honestly why did they bother since it was all special stage sets anyway?

 

[Deterass]

No but i did watch the Pride fights. Tank Abbott got his ass kicked........WTF is he thinkin coming out of retirement?

 

[WODIN]

Yeah what was up with the cow and blood ritual?

 

[Wynn]

That mess was for their prayers and future seeing stuff. The mother covered in blood had that sacrifice in hope that her son Octavian would survive his kidnapping. He can't get killed anyway- he's one of the future emperors. He made the soldiers feel dumb when he told them that they were on a wild goose chase for Caesar's eagle.

There will be action to come. The focus will be the intrigues just like in I,Claudius.

 

[SC4EVA]

Dunno only giving it an episode or two more then ex'ing HBO

 

[thelion2005]

I am offically hooked on ROME.
I think it is extremely well done!

 

[bodytemple75]

Rome..... Saw it, first episode. Thought it stinked. Show is way too political in plot and has you bored most of the time because of it, and non-action. I think HBO has bombed with this one. My opinion.

Atia is becoming more of a nurturing mother in her own way. One episode she forces Octavian to eat testicles(to stimulate masculine traits- anima is the word she uses) and the next she sends him to a brothel to penetrate someone.

Pullo has become a father figure to the future emperor.

i think the show is kickass
