Rome. Oh, ROME. The Lucius Vorenus and Pullo Show rocks my socks! At times I almost get a Rosencrantz & Guildenstern vibe from them in the sense that these two random guys sometimes figure into key events in history. Love it!

And gotta say, was amused at the notion that the perfect gift to a woman - as a gesture of friendship - was a turtle on a pillow and a naked man. (Not on a pillow, but probably would be soon.)

I'm only up to "Caesarion" (where Cleopatra enters the picture), and I don't really want to be spoiled. (Well, I already know very general historical facts from that period, but you know what I mean.)

Got disk 3 and disk 5 yesterday, but not disk 4. It better be in the mail today! *shakes fist*

Yay! I'm so glad you're enjoying Rome. And trust me, it's much better when you're not spoiled, even if you do know general historical facts. I was made aware of what happened in the final 2 episodes of Season 1 prior to seeing it, and I wish I hadn't known, it would've been much more shocking. :-)

Hate when that happens. Once I got disks 1 & 3, and then disk 2 never showed up and I had to report it missing. Very annoying, although in that instance I blame the Post Office. :-)

Ooooh.

And now I won't be at work today! And maybe not even on Friday! ACK!!

How dare they tease you with disk 5 by not sending 4? That's against the Geneva Convention.

Pullo & Vorenus really do have a Rosencrantz & Guildenstern quality about them. How much do I love the look Vorenus gives Pullo at the end of "Caesarion" and the look Pullo gives him back? Such a great moment between them.

Tell me about it!

I know!! HA!! There are so many subtle moments between these two that I find hysterically funny.

Oh, their "involvement" with history gets better. Heee.

*snickers* I can't wait!

I swear this isn't me spoiling you, but you're going to love the very end of the show. Just sayin'. :)

[ramdonomo.livejournal.com]

YES!

I hope the turtle was alive...

If there are dead turtles in this show, I can't watch it with my husband.

:(

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was a live turtle. :) They'd painted and jeweled its shell.
