Rome is the greatest television show in the history of, like, everything.



... OK, and now I want completely gratuitous fic about "Dis is not your master. I am your master under oaths on the sacred standards of the 13th" and "No man is beyond redemption. Not even you."

(It goes without saying, though, that I love "Have you ever been bit by a Moray eel?" And Cleopatra makes me dance with ninety seven different kinds of delight, as does the much-commented-upon banquet scene of writhing jealousy. AND TIMON'S HOME LIFE OMG. AAHAHAH AND I'LL SUCK YOUR COCK." And Octavian not being able to stand up to Antony, physically, but clocking him and getting into a fight with him nonetheless. And how heterogenous and international Roman society was.

Can you tell there is very little about this show that does not delight me?

Also, lookit the fantastic shots of the Rome set in the link there. It's the SLIDE SHOW: Rome: The Sequel link.)

By Juno's cunt! XD

HOLY FUCK. The second episode was even better than the first. If such a thing is possible.

My love for Antony knows no bounds.

Antony is a high holy priest of the skank brigade, and IT IS SO GREAT. SO GREAT. Who the fuck cares that they're using Atia in place of Fulvia? Who the fuck gives a damn that Octavian isn't in Rome at the time of the assassination? It was WORTH IT alone just to see Antony beating the snot out of Octavian and Octavian throwing shit at Antony like a girl. XD

Also, I love that Atia was planning to have Servilia murdered after the party. This is a family of TRUE SKANKY LOVE.

I love the throwaway stuff. Like that boy in the street offering to suck cock. XD

And CLEOPATRA. I was so glad when I saw her in Season 1, and just as glad now, that they didn't cast someone who was obviously Anglo with a pert little nose. She looks Greek. And I love her.

As well as Atia. Whispering shit into Cleopatra's ear. XD

It's pretty much awesome. I love how the biggest aphrodisiac for these Roman men is power And how the gravest insult that a Roman has about a woman is that she's "thin as a stick." It's how Pullo was talking about what might've happened with Niobe, and it's how Antony describes Cleopatra when he's trying ot get Atia off her traaaaill.

Somehow, I have the feeling that the boy offering to suck cock is NOT entirely throwaway. Maybe I just don't want it to be. XD

Jesus, I hope you're right. Because that would just be too great. Especially if Antony was on the receiving end.
