Notice how Octavian dealt with the Roman Senate? Ever wish Bush would do that with Congress?

I have not missed one episode. These guys were what the young-uns would call O.G. (original gangsters)

Love the show. The best written show on TV I have seen, and pretty savvy too.

I'll have to wait for the DVD's.

Awesome show. I've only seen the 1st season on DVD, since I don't have HBO, but it's definitely one of the best HBO shows I've ever seen.

Sopranos, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage...yes!

Rome...never got into it. I don't know why.

Too bad they killed Deadwood before the story was finished

But yes, I've watched every episode of Rome. It's brutal, vulgar and graphic, but we love it!

There is a new Showtime original scheduled for April that looks interesting, too. "The Tudors" I think it's called? It's the story of King Henry VIII when he was a young "rock-star" king. Should be interesting anyway.
