HBO executive dumbasses. Now they admit they made a mistake, and outline for seasons 3,4, and 5 sound fucking awesome. If Heller can make the movie happen
that would be great, but it is a tragedy that HBO was so shortsighted on this. I'm going to get the box set too.

� You DID notice that the guy Kevin is sleeping with is none other than Mark Antony? (James Purefoy) |

As much as I want another season, Will Kevin McKidd come back? I thought they killed him off in the finale. You DID notice that the guy Kevin is sleeping with is none other than Mark Antony? (James Purefoy)Their chemistry is ssssssssssssssssssssssssssso hot that I've to share it. |

I thought they killed him off in the finale. Maybe he was just "mostly dead"--There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.Go through his clothes and look for loose change. |

I am in Rome overload as of right...now.
Is there any man or woman (straight or gay) that wouldn't want to be fucked hard by Titus Pullo? |

Kevin McKidd was one of the only people who could have made all the silliness in Bedrooms and Hallways believable. He was also excellent on Journeyman. I
don't watch GA very often. Knowing the cast turnover on that show lately, he may be free soon enough.
The biggest beneficiary to Rome being canned is CBS. Bruno Heller gave them The Mentalist, which is a huge, huge hit for them (so far). |

Kevin McKidd was good in Dog Soldiers and Trainspotting as well as everything already mentioned. I won't watch GA even with him in it. Just can't.
And SA, Titus Pullo is a freaking god. He's been amazing in everything he's ever done. (Ray Stevenson) I am going to see him as the new Punisher over the holiday. |

Rome was the shit. I loved Rome. But then I loved Deadwood and Carnivale too.
All gone before their time. |

It's on CBC up here. (I think it is a joint production). Not bad, either.

Aaaagh, I just finished this series and I'm going through terrible withdrawals! I had to get myself a BrAntonyus avatar...mmm yes. Katy, I ended up making
a pretty awesome Atia one that I didn't use if you'd like it. It's when she bitches out Livia at the end and has Octavia's little giggle in
there as well - finale highlight for.sure. It was getting kind of insane towards the end with a major character dying every episode, but I was very satisfied
with how the series progressed and didn't dwell on things forever. I definitely plan on checking out "I, Claudius" after this now since I hear
Livia is a major factor in that one and I thought she was just starting to get good here. I'm a year or so late to the party, anyway, but it would be
outstanding for Heller to try and get this back up on screen. It's been a while since we had a great sword & sandal epic.
