Rome squeeage...

[askmehow]

...or, in other words, the squee that was heard around the world!!!1!eleventyone!

I finally - *finally* - saw it and all I can say is:

Pullo! With his loyalty to Vorenus! He may be a killer, but damned if he didn't make me go a little sniffly at the roach sacrifice scene.

And Vorenus, embracing the Dark Side! (It's interesting that this is betrayed in his lexical choices: order can't be re-established if soldiers are seen to be killing people in the streets. So it's okay to kill them, just don't get caught? Hmmm...) He was ready to betray Mascius at the drop of a hat. But then! When Pullo was *this close* to dying! He saved him!! There's hope in you yet, young Skywalker.

Also, Caesar, you great boffin! "Corruptions?" Seriously, defining it like that means losing half the battle.

But really, at the end of the day: Pullo! and Vorenus! Blood, gore and huge amounts of screaming!

Ahhhh... My day, it is made.

Ah, Rome. You guys always bring me the very best violence.

Also, go and see musesfool's brilliant and quite perfect coda to the episode. It's fab.
