Philippi

This episode should have been called "Poetic License." Before I get into this great episode, I'd like to point out some historical inaccuracies.

First and foremost, neither Brutus nor Cassius died in battle. In fact, it is quite misleading the way it was portrayed in the episode with Brutus removing his armor. Brutus committed suicide, not on the battlefield, but in the privacy of his quarters. In fact, his body was found and identified. Antony even showed respect for him by having his corpse draped with a purple garment.

Enough about what really happened. Atia, Antony and Octavian (though cautiously) are bloodthirsty sons of bitches, aren't they? I guess one way to ensure peace is to murder all your enemies. In this case, they did it preemptively.

Pullo is surely a man of duty honorably carrying out the murder of Cicero. "Do you mind if I take some peaches?" What if Cicero had said "no." You have to wonder if Pullo would have taken them.

I really like Timon. He has rediscovered his Jewish roots. He will not be a partner in his temple's selling out to Rome. I fear for his character, though, that he may have made a decision that will cost him his life in a later episode. Plus, Atia can't be too pleased with him.

With the enemies out of the way, there is no other course for the Triumvirate, but to turn on one another. Octavian has no intentions of allowing Antony a share of the power. We shall see.

Will Servilla reappear?

Am I forgetting anything?
