It makes me really angry that Gaia's going to get away with killing Eirene.
I wouldn't be so sure. Really nothing goes unpunished in the world of Rome.
Marc Anthony in eyeliner!
hell yeah!!
but poor Atia.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wouldn't be so sure.
I'm not sure at all, but just the evident possibility that she could burns me up.
And then I feel a little bad because you don't get to be a madam and a slave by having an easy life, so maybe I should have more sympathy for her, but dammit Eirene and Pullo deserved a little happiness.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The cycles these characters go through are so intense. I love them--one minute, you don't think they can get any lower, and the next they're ruling the city. And never once does it feel contrived.

Yes. This. It's really a great insight historically. If a man lost power, his whole family suffered for it. It makes me very emotionally vested in the outcomes of the plots (especially the fictional ones where I am clueless of the outcome).

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
And I got shivers when Antony walked into the palace in Cairo, and he and Cleopatra just said each other's names with all that will come behind it. I am *so* glad there are five more episodes.
I thought there were only two more episodes left.

I like SA's answer better! I can't tell from the HBO site at all.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I thought there were only two more episodes left.
I think you're right, unfortunately. I want MORE!
[Yep, just confirmed with DH -- only 2 left this season, and so far they're standing by their decision not to renew because it's too expensive.]

Bleck! I thought we'd at least get a full thirteen. Frell.
I know it's expensive, but that's why it's so *good.* It's worth every penny. (I say, not paying for the subscription.)

Dude, only two eps to show the *historical spoilers*Battle of Actium* and all of its fallout, including the death of Marc Antony and Cleopatra and the foundation of the Roman Empire??? Not. Enough. Episodes.
