LOL, any thread that touches history is doomed to get his ChatGPT-like inserts.
Top-5 All-Time show! A rare BBC-HBO collaboration. All the intellectual erudition that you would expect from BBC, and all the skin and gore you would expect from HBO. RIP Titus Pullo :cry:
You really think I copy-and-paste my responses and that I really don't know what I'm talking about or referring to when I respond to these kinds of threads?
Kind of a hitting a bit low, don't you think?
Also, HBO execs have admitted since its cancellation that they axed Rome too soon, but one major reason why it was cancelled so soon was because of its extremely high production costs to produce and create show content and Rome was also released in an era before Amazon, Hulu streaming services came along that wouldve helped support similar large-budget TV series projects like Game of Thrones a few years later. If Rome had come out in the TV media market maybe a few years later then it did, it likely wouldve lasted until its 5-season mark. The show's producers and creators have said that the second session wouldve focused on Antony/Augustus hunting down Ceaser's murderers for a longer duration, the third season would begin with the battle of Philapea in 42 BCE, the forming of the second Triumvirate, the small, slow cracks of it beginning to fall apart, then Antony/Octavian feud wouldve led to battle of Actium, which Antony/Cleopatra forces lost, their eventual suicide, and the fifth season, IIRC, would have touched on the rise of a possible Jewish Messiah-figure in Judea, so Rome would've tried to maybe include Jesus' birth or part of his life in some storyline, or some other radical Jewish zealot leader from that time.
