Watched both seasons of Rome, AKA “the reason Milch made Deadwood,/i> instead of the cop-show-set-in-the-time-of-Nero he initially suggested.” Didn’t love it quite as much as Deadwood, but it had a more satisfying ending. Initial thoughts:
-- Titus Pollo is probably the sanest person on the show, and he still flips out and kills people with disturbing regularity.
-- He still needs to have his own advice column.
-- I haven’t looked yet, but there must be so. much. slashfic. about this show.
-- It took me to the last ep to figure out who Attia reminded me of – Catherine O’Hara in Beetlejuice.
-- The actor playing grown-up Octavian did a fabulous job of starting out teeth-achingly pretty and then, without changing physically, going all sort of frozen and scary-looking. He’d be a brilliant Dorian Gray.
