If you’re not watching Rome, you’re not watching the absolute best show on tv. There’re scores of web sites with much much better info about the show than I could possibly provide, so I’ll just give you my random thoughts:
Why are so many characters…familiar?
Brutus: Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero.
Doogie Howser as Gaius Octavian?
Sarek–I mean Caesar is *so* da’ man!
How did Mr. Bean sneak into the senate? (Yes, I’m talking to you, Cicero)
Cleopatra is some smokin’ hot waif model…wow…
And finally…with all the amazing actors and especially actresses…who’s my favorite character?
Yes, I think the newsreader rules! (Too bad for the life of me I couldn’t find a picture of him as the newsreader. You get stuck with the pic from Dune, for now.)
“majesty commands you will enter her”
