And good news its been picked up for a 2nd season which unfortunately won't air until 2007
Given all the bragging about the huge budget for this series, the montage treatment of the battle between Ceasar and Magnus felt really cheap. It totally reminded you that you were watching a TV show and not an epic film like Spartacus or Gladiator.
That's the biggest complaint I have right now, with all the money they were suppose to have spent I was expecting a awesome Braveheart/Gladiator type battle but instead there was nothing, nada, zip. grrrrr even in USA Network's Atilla we got battles.
Awesome! I had thought it was purely a one-time deal, limited just to Caesar's times. Glad to hear it will be back. Except if it's all seen through Vorenius and Titus's eyes, we'll be stuck to the one era, and if they venture outside of it we'll lose those actors (sigh).
