Quite a nasty little squabble that Titus Pullo found himself in tonight.
I believe you crossed the rubicon with this vanity.
Check the previous thread, the one from, 2,400 years ago.
News Retro-activism?
;>
Yes, I believe this was already posted some 2.4 millenia ago. We really need to do a search before posting. Otherwise, we are only going to keep repeating ourselves.
I swear if they had killed off Pullo I would have quit watching the show.
Pullo is suffering from ennui, but the next episode should bring him around.
I think this series is a really superb look at what Roman life must have been like, but I do have two minor criticisms. That is that If they were going to play up how cruel Caesar was to the Gauls, they might have shown the lengths he went to bring the various tribes over as allies and they might have put in a little mention of the fact that the Gauls had earlier sacked Rome and terrorized the Italian peninsula.
I know that event is overshadowed historically by the latter Carthaginian invasion, but it left a traumatic mark on the young republic that never really healed.
I know what you mean. I was starting to get all emotional until Vorenus stepped in.
Oh boy is Vorenus in some deep doo-doo with Caesar.
Me, too! I'm glad you said it, cause I felt kinda silly about it. But the poor guy is just a simple man who wants a purpose and some lovin. Is that too much to ask?
And I think Caesar is going to get killed next week anyway, so I have no idea what is going to happen for Vorenus and his family.
But I'm sure Pullo and Vorenus will be back together, so that makes me happy.
I Golgotha'd it and the post would actually only have been a mere 2049 years old ;>
Since there is a second season, I can't tell if they are going to have his assasination next week or save it for next season.
Though I think I did see it in the upcoming scenes for next week.
What? Caesar gets assassinated? Did you have to give away the plot? ;-)
It's not my fault! It was teeny who spilled it first!
Now that I think about it....it was that big mouth Bill Shakespeare. He thinks everybody is soooo fascinated with anything he writes. He's such a gossip.
Reminds me of the story of the woman, not necessarily the most literary of folks, who is taken to a performance of Hamlet.
"So, what did you think?" she is asked afterwards.
"Eh. I don't know why people make such a big deal about Shakespeare. All he did was take a bunch of famous phrases and string them together."
Yeah, I was upset if Pullo died....glad he made it..
