HBO's Rome: Still a wistful fan 6 years later.

[Gadwen]

I loved the first season, but lost interest in the second season. Just felt like things got too crazy and the storyline didn't leave me wanting more. I still intend on eventually going back to watch it.

Been playing a ton of Total War Rome 2 since it was released and it actually had me thinking about the show the other day.

Rome is one of my favorite shows. James purefoy the guy who played mark anthony is amazing. Hes such a good actor. Season 2 was rushed it was like 4 seasons in one. The set burnt down and thats why the show only did two seasons. There was suppose to be a whole season in egypt not just a couple scenes in two episodes.

I wish james purefoy was in game of thrones.

mhmhmhm, always wanted to smoke some opium and fuck Cleopatra in rome.

Favorite parts -

When vorenus jumps in to save pullo in that arena or whatever it was

It might be the last seen, that chick mark anthony banged the whole show, octavians mother? I forget. But when she moves in front of that other chick right before they walk out to greet Rome. Declaring shes still the top chick around.

Anytime mark anthony says "on jupiters cunt!"

I never heard there was a fire on the set, but sure enough there was

Apparently the show was already cancelled and done filming by then.

Yeah I hated the way they wrapped it up. I know it was supposed to have been really expensive to film that show but they could have done a much better job with season 2 at least.

ha good, I watched like the first 10 minutes of a spartacus episode and was done, really bad cgi, TONS of it, and i remember them saying "cunt" like every 4th word...was just a gorey cgi swearfest.

maybe ill check out rome, need to get got s3 first though

It drove me nuts how they spoke on Spartacus, not just the bad language, but wtf kind of talking style was that?
