As a result of their arena exploits, Pullo and Vorenus have become heroes to the Roman rank and file, causing Caesar to reward those he normally would punish. Pullo's unexpected return to Vorenus' household is not appreciated by his former slave Eirene. Caesar decides to overhaul the Senate by adding some unexpected new faces, to the chagrin of the old guard. And Servilia hurdles the final obstacle in her ambitious revenge scenario, at Niobe's expense.
RE: "Et Tu brute?"...thanks...didn't know that.
You never know what the writers have cooked up. hehe
my pleasure...what an ending though! I didn't foresee Niobe killing herself though....
They shouldn't have killed Niobe...hope she appears with a bandage on her head in 2007.
LOL!
Oh I can't wait either. The look on Octavian's face was pure hatred. Did you notice how Antony backed out of the forum, without turning his back? Wouldn't surprise me to see Vorenus team up with Antony (who Vorneus pledged his loyalty to) and Pullo with Octavian. Still shocked at the Niobe jump.
"It sure beat the season finale of battlestar galactica season 2."
I could be wrong but I think we've only seen half of season 2 of BSG.
BSG is scifi fantasy. Rome is drama. Kinda hard to compare the two.
I'm still majorly bummed that Moore killed off Crashdown. I'm hoping Crashdown is a cylon.
I'm kinda upset that HBO didn't have a "to be continued", or something equivalent.
Anything is possible! Pullo had brain surgery and lived.
Et tu Brutus?
While "et tu Brute" may have been coined by Shakespeare, it is very close to what is accepted as Julius Caesar's last words.
Suetonius, a Roman writer, recorded Caesar's last words as "Even you, my child" which is very close to "et tu Brute" - "And you Brutus".
The money had stopped coming... she didn't know he was still alive.
Heartily disagree....she truely thought her husband was dead and moved on....now had she known he was alive, I would agree with you.
Octavian and Antony have been my favorite characters. Octavian is wickedly clever and will know how to deal with her.
In addition, I thought he died at the foot of Pompey's statute...kind of an ironic twist of history.
LIke he dealt with his sister....he he...had to throw that one in.
" Octavian is wickedly clever and will know how to deal with her."
Octavian looks a little too much like Justin Timberlake to be a warrior though.
