S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Rome -- what an episode! Vorenus makes a really scary gang lord. That was a mess just waiting to explode. And Cicero's kiss-off of Anthony rocked. But I really enjoyed the scene of Brutus, divesting himself of his foreign clothes, seeking his own gods even far from his homeland.
And much the same, Pullo's faith is just beautiful. He goes where the gods tell him to, and look what he finds. I have so much love.
Of course, now I'm on pins waiting to see if Attia actually dies, and what happens when Pullo finds Vorenus in Gaul!

Is that what Brutus was doing? I didn't really understand that bit.
I can't remember, does Vorenus have a connection to Octavian or is he an Antony man all the way?

I want to go back 15 years and yell at my Western Civ prof, "NO SPOILERS!"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think he was looking to get a new start, and he sought out a baptism and his own gods to do it. Either way, it was a powerful scene.
does Vorenus have a connection to Octavian or is he an Antony man all the way?
He was always Antony ( and Caesar's) man. Pullo had the connection to Vorenus, as they had mutual interests for awhile--Antony hired him to teach Octavian how to fight, and Octavian and Pullo conspired to have Vorenus' brother in law killed. Now that Vorenus has followed Antony to Gaul, and Pullo is following, it will be interesting to see if they both end up on Antony's side or Octavian's.
Damn spoilers! I've forgotten the finger points of Agrippa's role, and I almost wikied him but decided I'd rather be reminded by suprise.
I can understand how they can't afford this show, though. Every single scene is beauty.

Agreed. I got the new start, but I didn't make the connection to foreign garb in a foreign land and calling on his own gods. Reinforcing his Roman-ness. Interesting.
Thanks for the recap of V and P's involvement with Octavian. I thought that was it, but it was a while ago and I can't keep all these characters and their relationships in my head. So, there will be hard decisions made, however it shakes out.
