It may not have the violence of Rome/Spartacus but if you like court intrigue and batshit Romans watch I Claudius.

I wonder if we could get Quintus Blackadder in Rome with BRIAN BLESSED reprising this role.

Oh gently caress I am an idiot. He is my Caesar Augustus not Julius. Funny how I have young Augustus, adult Augustus, and old Augustus.

Does anyone know when Be Here Now comes out? I googled but couldn't find anything concrete just "early 2013". Also I don't know why but Andy Whitfield is probably the only celebrity death I've ever been really sad about.

I love I Claudius so much. It has so many great actors in memorable roles and such great intrigue and scheming. And John Hurt is just so creepy and scary as Caligula.

The most disappointing part of Rome was Augustus being recasted -- I loved young Octavian, one of my favorite young actors. He then kind of faded out of acting right after the show ended.

It took me forever to figure out who played Crassus' training partner slave but it was classic Hong Kong movie baddie Richard Norton. He's 62 and still going strong.

I worry what you just heard was...
"Give me a lot of b4con_n_3ggs."

What I said was...
"Give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have"

...Do you understand?
I don't know why (I have a sick mind I guess) but I thought for sure when Crassus spurned his wife for the slave girl that his wife was gonna make a move on (who I assume is her son) Tiberius. Shudder.

There's this video where he talks about explaining the fact that he's dying to his young kids. Something along the lines of "daddy's body's broken and it can't be fixed".

The comedy of the cheesy eagle screeched really balanced out the horror of the guy's face getting turned into steak tartare.

Also Gannicus doesn't seem to believe in the Bros before Hos concept.

This is a awesome find looks like Norton can still do the crazy stunts and is rippled like crazy even though he's 62.

Doing the sword disarm using the shield was really awesome move and I loved how Crassus won the fight in a trick similar to the Rob Roy final fight.

It's a similar fun concept since the protagonist of the fight doesn't have good odds against the opposing champion and needs a clever strategy to win the fight.

That was the dude from City Hunter? Hot drat. He's aged way better at 62 than I have at 28 that's for sure. Goddamn shameful

I don't like Bachelor Frog because it hits too close to home. At least I can laugh at the Spartacus meme generator.

Starz should have done a better job of promoting the fact that they cast Brad Pitt as Caesar.

The slow-motion shot of the slave-girl looking at Gannicus like she wanted to gently caress him right after he killed her Dominus was hilarious.

What was that slave cutting on Caesar?
