'i humbly request a finished paper - no?'

[livejournal.com profile] sweet_disdain, in her absolute coolness and magnanimity, created this shiny new 'Team Cicero' icon, amid a whole slew of new 'Team Rome Character' icons, here at her media journal. There's Team Posca and Team Announcer Guy! Go forth, Rome fans!

Though comparing Season 1 and Season 2, especially toward 'Philippi,' David Bamber looks so much thinner and older. A few posters on IMBD wondered, as I did, if he was ill - though he seems to have been in fine form for his recent stage production in March. Part of me wonders (and hopes) it was some extraordinary method acting.

He does look older...

...but no less awesome :D

Oh, I would certainly agree with your second sentence - because it's not like I have an entirely innocent, sweet, and Cicero-inspired endearment of David Bamber now...

You know it's pathetic when you can figure out Italian train routes and fares easier than Amtrak fares. Grrr! Off to bed now...

...Man, I'm going to have to start actually watching Rome if Maecenas is a character.

I've seen a couple of episodes and thought it was pretty good, but I don't get HBO so it's a bit of a trick to get ahold of it.

I admit, I didn't watch as closely once Cicero dies, but Maecenas is certainly interesting, to say the least. Though whenever I see him, Octavian and Agrippa, such young, petulant boys, it seems like the cast of the OC is out to rule the world.

You can Netflix Season 1, and two should be out on DVD soon! There's still *one* episode I need to see from Season 2, alas..
