Rome is about to start. Shh. Finally, something to look forward to on the tube again. Rome and Extras in the same night, who could ask for anything more?

And Sopranos starts again in April!

I am a big fan of The Sopranos too. Rome was great tonight, as well as Extras. I have heard that the second season of Extras isn't as great as the first, but I am optimistic.

Really? I heard that it was the funniest thing Gervais has ever done. But that might have been from Gervais himself.

*SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!*

Do you think Vorenus' children are really dead? And I loved that they didn't show the famous Antony speech, just public reaction to it.

I don't think they are dead.

I knew there was going to be a blood bath in the bar when Vorenus and Pullo entered. I wonder why the former boss/what's his name? would lie about the children. I suppose he knew he was a dead man either way.

Erastes, that's his name. Hopefully he sold them out to slavery or something and they are alive. I wonder about the custom of the wet nurse placing her breast to Ceasar's lips. I haven't heard of that before.

I saw her and thought, "Damn those are some pendulous breasts!" Then she put 'em to work and it was...odd.

I think Erastes knew he was a dead man and wanted to inflict one last injury on Vorenus. I don't know how I feel about the kinder gentler Pullo.

Yes, somehow I knew those breasts were coming out of that dress. It must be some kind of Pagan ritual.

Pullo was awfully huggy-kissy tonight. I am sure we will see his more brutal side in episodes to come.

Anyone know why next weeks episode is not available on demand the way some other HBO series make the next episode available a week in advance?

Many good things are about too start: Prison Break, Heroes, Galactica, Lost. Time to thank god for the bittorrent protocol :)
