The Death Mask episode

Okay, I've been getting lazy with my Rome blogs. Anyway, on with my thoughts about the episode.

This episode dealt with justice as a major theme, I think. Servilla (of the Junii) demanded justice just before she committed suicide. "Now, that was an exit." Her justice was for Atia's life going forward to suck. Let's see what happened. Atia wanted to marry Marc Antony. Her own son kicks her out of the room to discuss the terms of the wedding. She is all excited about the big wedding. Marc Antony marries Octavia. Talk about cold-hearted. More to come for Atia, I assume. I feel kind of bad for Agrippa, though.

We now know what Timon's brother was doing in Rome. He was there to assassinate King Herod. (I can't decide which portrayal I like better, the guy playing King Herod in Rome or Josh Mostel.) Of course, Levi does not get his justice. Nice that King Herod buys a little peace and safety for the Jews. How long does that last?

Posca gets himself a nice little piece of tail. It's not necessarily fair for Jocasta, but Posca has served Caesar well. He deserves something in return. Though, Antony still treats him as a bitch, he exacts a little revenge on Antony by informing Maecenas (Octavian's Karl Rove) of Antony's acceptance of Herod's bribe.

Now to the little spout between Gaia and Eieren: I feel for Eirene because she has suffered somewhat by losing her first love to the hands of Pullo. Now, he loves her and he wants to be a good husband. Of course, now that she is pregnant, she is losing her horny. Enter Gaia, a bitch that likes it rough. She give Eirene some lip, which causes Eirene to want justice. Gaia wants some justice in the form of Titus Pullo's raging woody. After the disciplining, Eirene suggests Pullo discipline her once a month. Hmm? Of course, this story is not done, and Gaia will have her revenge on Eirene.

Vorena the Elder will get justice from her father as she is still mad at him. While Memmio will do the same with her being part of the rouse. How will this one play out?

Will the fall of Vorenus and Pullo equal the fall of Rome?

I know there is much more to say about the episode, but I can't cover it all. Please share your thoughts.
