These Being the Words of Marcus Tullius Cicero

Was I watching Rome or Oz? It was a bit confusing with all the boo-foo scenes. Anyway, I guess that's why Roman culture ultimately died out.

But now to Cicero.... How dastardly of him? Show some balls man! Do you notice how Cicero has problems looking people in the eye? When Marc Anthony asks for his support, Cicero can't bring himself to make eye contact with Anthony as he pledges his support. Of course, Anthony being the fool that he is, is too arrogant to believe in the possibility of a double-cross. Were you surprised at Anthony's brutality in the end? I think Cicero made the wise choice, however, in supporting Octavian. Cicero is influential, and it will help in Octavian's quest for power.

What of Pullo and Vorenus? Pullo is torn between his loyalty to Vorenus and his sense of justice as they are at odds. Pullo leaves in anger after a fallout with (and somewhat of an ass-kicking of) Vorenus, but his loyalty ultimately brings him back. Actually, I'm wondering if his wife will leave him. She is a free woman, and Pullo treats her with dignity unbecoming of a Roman. Will she bolt or will she stick with him for this very reason? When the war breaks out between Octavian and Anthony, on which side will Pullo fight? It will be interesting to see. Will Pullo be able to break Vorenus from the spell of Marc Anthony? Now that Pullo has found Vorenus' children, I wonder if Vorenus will accept them.

Octavia and Agrippa? Hmmm? Do you hear wedding bells?

Finally, I guess Atia gets it. That must have been some pretty good coin for that boy to allow himself to be that guard's bitch just so he could murder Atia. Was he smiling during the "ass-pounding" scene? If so, double-bonus for him.
