| Next Week's Blurb Is anyone else thrown by the apparent change of direction hinted at for next week, or is it just me? Julius Caesar...meets The Mummy. I was watching with J. when we saw next week's teaser; we sat there quietly until J. piped up with, "Maybe they should change the name of this show to Roam." ![]()

I doubt this signals a complete turn for the show - probably just an episode or two. Plus, I don't think they'd NOT keep up with Atia and everyone else back in Rome. Was I the only one who saw the affair brewing between Servilia and Octavia? Can't wait to see Atia's reaction to that development! She hated Octavia's husband enough to kill him - what will she do to Servilia? That ending literally made me gasp and slap my hand over my mouth! I love it when a show totally shocks me like that! Now I really can't wait until next week!ETA: I don't know how I missed this, but Rome has been renewed for a second season! Here's the article from hbo.com:Quote:
The only bad news is that the second season doesn't start until 2007 ![]()

| Wow!! Since this is my favorite show on TV, I am thrilled they've renewed it. I am glad it is on HBO so we can see it in all its naughtiness and lack of PC. Each episode is a delight! |

Arriving in Egypt, Pompey's fate was decided by three counselors of Ptolemy, the boy-king. While Pompey waited offshore for word, they argued the cost of offering him refuge with Caesar already en route for Egypt. Because "dead men don't bite," it was decided to murder Caesar's enemy to ingratiate themselves with him. Alone, the great Pompey was lured toward a supposed audience on shore in a small boat in which he recognized two old comrades-in-arms from the glorious, early battles. They were his assassins. While he sat in the boat, studying his speech for the boy king, they stabbed him in the back with sword and dagger. Cutting his head off, the body was left, contemptuously unattended and naked, on the shore for a slave to tend and cremate on a pyre of broken ship's timbers. When Caesar arrived, a slave offered him Pompey's head;" …he turned away from him with loathing, as from an assassin; and when he received Pompey's signet ring on which was engraved a lion holding a sword in his paws, he burst into tears." Plutarch, 80. | |

| Wow...Thanks Austin. All in all, a fairly accurate rendition of his demise... It wasn't quite explained yet in the show... Pierre :-) |
