I think it's shitty how they handled the big battle. They just glossed over it with a few fuzzy swords and shields. If they are too cheap to make a battle scene then they should have ended the episode before the battle and started the next episode after it. That way, everybody would feel like they missed something like usual (no normal person can watch these shows in order) The way they did it makes me feel ripped off. At least they could have fuzzied some guts flying and maybe some buzzards. Oh and little ceasar wasn't that old, he was like 30.

no, I am watching the old season off of veryCD. I'm on episode 7 right now.

12/11/2006 12:50:44 AM

pretty sure you're missing the point - its not about fighting - its a motherfucking drama

its pretty good, too.

exactly, its about roman everyday life, the politics behind it, etc etc...if you don't like the battles just push stop, throw in gladiator, watch the opening scene then put rome back in.

The first season cost around $120 million dollars, the most expensive TV show ever. Yeah they're cheap...

I am simply arguing that if they're going to cut out the whole climax scene they should've used a more directorly device. My guess is that they were planning to CGI in some Rome: Total War just like the History Channel did that time but couldn't get the patch installed. Drives me nuts how they make you read a bunch of instructions: "copy .dat SPQRv2_02.nvm file to you default directory and refresh you bios and stuff. Then all you saves gonna not work anymore and now u need to drive your videocard." I'm not surprised one bit they gave up on the battle scenes, it's impossible to get those guys act real anyway.

lol?

but, yea with that kind of budget CGI is way over the top

So that jew feels bad for murdering and fucking nasty diseased cunt to share with his scriptless wife? Hah, maybe he can redeem himself by latching on to one of the hundreds of prophesizing freaks annoying enough to be crucified by the Romans in this time period. In addition, the name jesus was about as common as mike, john, or fred is now. Wow! let's worship the one who had the best personality! In fact lets solidify our cliq by calling him the son of god. Lets bring in followers by attributing all good rebelious shit to jesus like they did to king arthur! After all, we know how to write and the truth doesn't! Let there be no other superman after this one! Soo sayeth the lord! All supermen after him are like those three criminals from superman2. Except for the lezbo chick, she can be our dominatrix who rules over denmark and all ice lands until the throbing plusating spring frees the icy crasp of winter for the sake of pleasurable activity
