I know I should talk about Dr. Who, but that was meh while this was good.



Dear Atia and Servilla - just stop it, everytime you start someone gets hurt. Although it must be said that I am getting fonder of Atia.

Agrippa is still the sweetest legionary this side of everything. I don't like the third one in his and Octavians triumverate.

Also, while I wish they hadn't switched actor for Octavian, I wish to make strange noises over the new one, 'cause, goodness knowing that Ray Stevenson and James Purefoy are incredibly attractive, Octavian v 2.0 might as well have been designed for my viewing pleasure. Even if he is still his deeply odd little self.

Dear Lucius Vorenus,

My love for you is pretty much unending at this point.

Plus also, I knew he couldn't kill Little Lucius.

I also knew the slave master would not survive the episode. But importantly, it's not Vorenus who kills him, it's Pullo. (Don't believe me - it's Pullo's knife, and you don't use other people's weaponery).



Having seen the trailer for the next episode, I can totally see why they changed Octavians. While I shall hear nothing against Max Pirkis, he'd not be able to stand shoulder against shoulder with James Purefoy.

I still grieve that the show only lasted two seasons. It's so damnably unfair because it was such a well-done production.

I think that probably helped with the goodness of the production because they knew that they didn't need to drag the story out and could do it their way.
