Who watched it? What did you all think?
I personally thought it was an incredible pilot....the acting was awesome, the stories are already exciting and the costume and scenery were unbelievable. Next week's episode looks so good as well. Second show and its already time for war! :evil
While you were watching Rome, us true Phillies fans were busy watching them get their asses handed ot them by the D-backs. :P
When I turned it off, the Phils were down by 1.
Cheap asses at Temple don't give us HBO, so I'll have to check it out when I get home sometime. I'm more worried about catching the last two Entourage episodes.

What is the world coming to when an insitute of higher learning fails to provide it's students with HBO? If you go off someone right now you can be in prison by the end of the week where you'll not only have HBO, but you'll save yourself a few thousand a year in tuition while you're at it.
And you'll get more sex.

Shhhhhhh! That's supposed to be the secret surprise. :paranoid
If there's anybody left that doesn't know about prison sex then they don't have internet access either.

Nice try. Saved that for twelve hours so you could post it, huh? Everybody knows I've never been on at 9 AM, so I know it ain't a typo.
great show so far. Hope it keeps up and doesnt slow down ala Sopranos and Deadwood.
This show was pretty good. With Entourage ending in the next episode, this show is going to be that show that keeps me occupied until CYE and The Sopranos come back.
I am excited to see Extras.
Good first episode. I think the hardest part is going to be forgetting what I know of Roman history so that I don't know story lines in advance. Of course they might not stay that true to history ala deadwood which would be fine....

Is this the Ricky Gervais thing? I think it's a joint BBC/HBO venture.
yeah it said something about from the creators of "the office" or something like that... no?

HBO Unveils 'Extras,' 'Enthusiasm' in September
A new season of the Emmy-winning comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm" will premiere on HBO in September.
The premium cable giant announced on Friday (July 15) that the fifth season of "Enthusiasm" will launch on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 10 p.m. ET, following a new episode of the drama "Rome." The Larry David comedy will be followed by the series premiere of "Extras," the new series from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant of "The Office."
HBO has few hints about the new season of "Curb," which has earned three Emmy nominations for outstanding comedy series except to offer that like previous series, it will be limited to 10 episodes.
"Extras" features Gervais as Andy Millman, whose career is stuck in background extra parts. The series features cameos from a wide variety of industry heavyweights including Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson and Kate Winslet. Be sure to savor "Extras," though, because the show's first series is only six episodes long.
Yeah, it's the same people from The Office. They have just shown the first series here. Only saw a few, didn't think it was as quite as funny as The Office, but there are some great lines. Saw bits of the Ben Stiller one, which was OK, the Samuel L Jackson one is the most cringeworthy one I saw (but in a good way), but Patrick Stewart flat out steals the show in his one. His description of his film pitch is hilarious!
Rome episode 3 is on demand for a sneak preview. If you guys have on demand you can see it a week early. I donno how long it'll be up so see it while you can.
I'll give Rome another shot over Thanksgiving holiday. I caught the first 5 minutes of the first episode and got distracted by Bullworth on HBO2.
Did catch Entourage rap up its stellar second season. This show is just awsome all around. I was only dissapointed by the lack of nudity this season. Give us what we want!
Entourage finale sucked IMO. The one before was awesome.
Rome gets a lot better. IMO the 2nd and 3rd episodes were awesome. I just watched the 3rd on demand. Titus Pullo is the man. Lucius is the man too.

thats pathetic!
Its a awsum muvey!
I started watching Rome, not too bad so far. The 2nd episode was better than the first but now it's starting to show a bit where the series is going, so that's a plus. The first episode seemed fairly sporadic in terms of direction.
The 3rd episode is better than the 2nd. It just keeps getting better. I love this series. Also it's pretty realistic and accurate in terms of history as well. The battle in the beginning of the first episode was exactly how they used to fight. Very accurate. Also in Rome, even today, there are penises drawn all over the place, like in the show.
Anyone know how far they plan to go? Will it end with the death of Ceasar or do they intend to get into the Emperors also?
No idea. We'll find out soon enough.
Do you find Polly Walker extremely hot in that show? She plays Atia. I think she looks really hot in it, and you see her nude multiple times.
Yes, very attractive, and more importantly she can act and she plays her role well. So far the whole cast is very well chosen and the setting as well as the cinematography is top notch. I didn't have high hopes for the show given the previews but they're doing justice to Ancient Rome. I really hope they delve into the Emporers before the fall or Rome. That'd make for good viewing.
I thought theres only been 2 episodes avenger?

Yea, episode 3 has been up on demand since monday.
Has anyone been following? I am amazing by the greatness of this series. Episode 7 was farging amazing. This is probably the best series I've ever seen so far. I love it.
I really thought once they killed Pompeii it was going to slow down but damn if they dont go right into Cleopatra and Egypt.
Some of us dont have In Demand :P
