Ugh, now we know that Mr Fun isn't the only one who can't wait to post Facebook memes on Poly

Yeah Al Gore can suck my dick cause it's freezing off here.

There was this joke where Ned Stark was compared to Al Gore;
- Both were the right hand of a former leader of administration
- Both can't stop talking about climate change all the time

But just for the record: thanks to your bloody cold winter, in the States, we're having the hottest winter since like ever overhere in Europe.
Can you please send a bit of your winter to us please, it's getting pretty boring overhere. Haven't seen any snow or frost since last February overhere!

Summer is staying!

Guess the Starks were right after all, as far as North America is concerned...

I remember something about A good part of the set for Rome burning down as well, the final nail if the coffin.

Rome was about as historically accurate as Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1. But that's okay.

I admit I've never seen Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1, but I believe it's more accurate.

the Jewish Rebellion and the destruction of the Temple Mount

Meh, good thing they kept it to two seasons then.

I don't think there would have been much of a point in a 3rd Rome season. The most interesting chapter in Roman history had ended, and the story of how Octavian laid the foundations for the empire, smacking a few barbarians along the way, just isn't as exciting.

They were supposedly going to do the Jewish Rebellion and the destruction of the Temple Mount in season three and were working their way up to it in Season 2 but Season 2 got cut short and then the show was cancelled. Basically, it was just costing too much and ratings went down so HBO told them they had to wrap it up in two episodes when they thought they still had five episodes to go in the season.

Carnivale

****in' ey right.

[Colon™]

Rome was awesome. It stinks that Rome and Carnivale got only two seasons, and Deadwood three, while crap like True Blood lasts forever.

Probably not far from the truth.

Let's hear it for Titties and Dragons!

I envision the show ending with the blonde queen flying into the capital on her dragon, one tit hanging out of her battle-torn clothes.
