Octavian is one chilling little bastard. It is easy to see him becoming Emperor."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

I downloaded the first 4 episodes so far... I don't get HBO
I'm waiting to watch them until I get the first 6. The reason is, my parents want to see them also, I'm waiting for 6 because that's how many I can fit on a DVD and I will make a video DVD using nero so I can watch it on the TV instead of my PC.
Although my mom is being a wuss and saying she doesn't know if she wants to see it because she heard there is much violence and bestiality in it.
She gets squeamish sometimes, but I will get her to watch it.
Is it good so far?To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Bestiality? No.
Sex? Yes.
Violence? Damn right.
Good? **** yes."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

We were getting HBO for free a month before 'Rome' began, then Con-cast scrambled the signal...
d@mn...
Then Con-cast switched Sfi-Fi to digital from analog. No more 'Battlestar Galactica.'
double-d@mn...
Getting both channels would have cost me at least $60 a month extra. We are on a tight budget - my wife lost her job and took one for less money...
Thank goodness for DVDs. Too bad I have to wait a year though.Yes, let's be optimistic until we have reason to be otherwise...No, let's be pessimistic until we are forced to do otherwise...Maybe, let's be balanced until we are convinced to do otherwise. -- DrSpike, Skanky Burns, Shogun Gunner

Why does everyone decide to protray Octavian that way? The one sympathetic protrayal of Octavian I have seen in in I Claudius.Originally posted by Guynemer

Not entirely unsympathetic. He appears to be quite loyal to his friends and his sister, and recognizes that his mother is a complete hobag. He's just very calculating, a bit of a political savant.

The graffiti was hilarious in the last episode."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Wow...
Octavian is my favorite character in the series. Excellent show to date. I actually look forward to each new episode...a rarity for me these days in TV."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment
