ivan Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Anyone else been watching this? It's got violence, sex, betrayal, debauchery, buggery, blood'n'guts, incest, slavery and deception. What more could a TV series want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It's good stuff. The same HBO crew are making the TV series "Fire" next year. It's a TV adaptation of George RR Martin's "Song Of Fire And Ice" - the best fantasy books EVER. Really looking forward to it - it'll need to be plenty gory and graphic if it's going to do the books justice...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rather lacking in the sheep shagging department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone spot the contraception method in Wednesdays episode? Oh, nearly forgot - it's got history too so it's edukayshunal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Anyone spot the contraception method in Wednesdays episode? Was that the sodomy bit ? Or the shagging her then cutting her head off bit:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It's brilliant isn't it? Some of the swearing is particularly good . The first series was really good too, worth getting on DVD as they cut some of it for TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 There was a bit of controversy at the beginning of Series 1 when the Beeb cut the first three episodes down to two to cut out a lot of the swearing. Apparently the excuse was that UK viewers didn't need all the background info as we were more familiar with the story of Rome than US viewers.

ivan Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 We were watching the end of tonights episode where MA was meeting with Cleopatra. Just before he walked into the palace, Lin said "I don't think that Cleopatra's all that good. She's not all sultry and alluring like I expected." I said "Oh, I don't know - I reckon she's HOT." Just as the camera cut to a shot of Cleo all full frontal apart from a very filmy slip. Lin just laughed when I said "See what I mean?"
