I doubt anyone will read this, as it's the end of the series, but just for fun I'm going to do a High School Yearbook style farewell to ROME. Vote HELPFUL if you will miss these things about HBO's greatest show.
Things I will miss about ROME . . .
Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus . . . best friends forever!!!!
Pullo's instant altar to Mars on the field of battle.
Vorenus wondering exactly how Titus Pullo knows so much about his wife's genital region.
Atia of the Julii . . . channeling Scarlett in GONE WITH THE WIND . . . channeling Erica Kane on ALL MY CHILDREN . . . channeling Rhoda Henry on THE WINDS OF WAR . . . channeling every myth ever made about dangerous, powerful, hungry, irresistible women of a certain age!
Julius Caesar pimp-slapping Servilia . . . just to let her know that it's over.
Servilia breaking out the Ouija boards and the voodoo dolls, vowing to get even . . . but in a fun way.
Octavia of the Julii . . . the Wet Blanket, the Pouting Princess, cute as a button even when she's stoned out of her mind!
Watching Timon the Jew kill his brother accidentally on purpose . . . "so now I'm a schmedrick? Or am I really a schlemiel?"
Watching the newsreader at the Forum wrap up every story with that cool, funky, ZZ Top style hand wave.
The bearded king from the eastern provinces asking Brutus the tough questions about his "hero of Rome" status. (He was already dead? Helpless? And you stabbed him again? In Rome this makes you a hero?)
Young Octavian in the sewers . . . watch how he quickly morphs from Anthony Michael Hall in THE BREAKFAST CLUB to Michael Madsen in RESERVOIR DOGS. Not your average geek!
Watching Mark Antony put on his NFL style running back moves to get past the low-rent hoodlums clustering outside the Senate. Go OJ!!!
Lucius Vorenus . . . father of the year.
Watching Vorenus' daughter give him the evil eye at the dinner table.
Watching Vorenus explain to the collegia what he does to Concord.
Octavia's best friend Jocasta. Being a "bad influence" was never this much fun!
Titus Pullo offering the gods a cockroach.
"Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!"
Agrippa watching Octavia play the harp with stars in his eyes, knowing she's out of reach. The Great Gatsby lives!
Mark Antony ordering Vorenus to get his act together.
Erastes Fulmen analyzing Vorenus' anger in a thoughtful way.
Servilia taking time out from being a crazed and vindictive old bag to seduce gentle, vulnerable young Octavia.
Cleopatra's son Caesarion vowing to get even with Octavian . . . and the way the series ends with important news about his father.
Gentle, timid Octavia not quite hiding a smile as her mother Atia puts Livia back in her place.
