rome 1x01, 1x02

[mimesere]

Well that was...interminable. I liked Atia and Pullo and um, Vorenus? And, you know, Ciarin Hinds is hot. But man, the moppet? Is, so far, an annoying little shit. Though this is true of all the moppets, including Hot Guy That Was In Other Stuff Like Resident Evil and Vanity Fair. And apparently, ancient Rome = not my thing. I am giving it one more episode though I am almost certain I will spend it going, "My goodness, the Romans are awfully British." But I am trying! Maybe it will capture my interest and go running off with it into the wilds of Italy.

I dunno. Apparently I really do need at least one non-emo good guy.

...stupid ABC, cancelling my show.

So, the second ep? Way more interesting to me than the first. I do like Vorenus and Pullo. Atia continues to be awesome and she is joined in awesome by Niobe, who is hot. The moppets were in general far less annoying this time around, though Octavia is just irritating. ...Oh, Moppet #1 is the kidlet from Master and Commander. Goodness, they grow up fast.

Ciarin Hinds = still hot. Though, admittedly, he is *far* hotter as Capt. Wentworth.

It took me a few episodes to get into Rome, and then I really found myself enjoying it.

I did like the second episode much more than the first, so that is a good sign. Next time I go, I will rent the second disc and see how that works out for me.

Yeah, I agree with the last commenter; it took me till the third episode or so to get hooked, and then I was suddenly in love. Vorenus and Pullo are really worthwhile, if you manage to slog through.

I like Vorenus a lot, so that is promising.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that still thinks Ciaran Hinds is attractive!

Ciaran Hinds is *totally* attractive. He is like a fine wine in that he just gets better with age.

Ciarin Hinds gets hotter as the season goes on, too. He doesn't approach Wentworth levels of hotness, but that's understandable.

Somebody who was not me described Rome by saying the first third you think "Oh this is trashy and funny" and the second third "This is somewhat interesting" and the last third is "OMG LOVE MY SHOW". But it's hard to be patient through the beginning for some people.

Hmmm. Next time I go to Blockbuster, I shall rent the next disc, if only for the hot that is Ciaran Hinds.
