Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The lettering on the Trajan Column is one of the great achievements of humanity. Beautiful, beautiful work.

Punishingly Intricate
The one I saw looked like C-Span BC. Might have to watch another one.
Oh yeah it's gotten totally juicy and sad.

I can't even.
Rome is must-see tv for me right now. Rome, TDS and Soprano reruns are about all I tune in for at the moment, on purpose, that isn't european football.
It's pretty rough, with the murders, incest, betrayals, seduction/manipulations, heads on spikes, intrigue, and sympathetic characters circling the morality drain. Excellent stuff.

The Greeks are like soccer, and the Romans are like American football.
Bwah! Yes, though I'd have said that the Greeks are a bit more like rugby, while the Romans were cricket test-match. YClassicalSportsMetaphorsMV.
Septimus Severus! The only black emperor! If anyone was going to be the shizznit, it'd be him, I think.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Was't Septimus Severus the name of the suicidal soldier in Mrs. Dalloway?
I would feel a lot smarter about invoking Woolf if I had any idea whether I'm right or not.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Septimus Harding was a character in Trollope's Barsetshire novels.
Just to tie in with the earlier conversation in the movie thread.

Septimus is also the romantic hero of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia.
