I believe you crossed the rubicon with this vanity.

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.
