Rome; A splendid show

I am a die hard fan of period movies and historical drama. There is such a dearth of historical dramas on the television but this series ROME fascinated me completely. It is one thing to read history and another to watch it come alive. The sets were authentic looking and character portrayal much better than ever before. The millions they spent on creating those mammoth sets were money well spent. Do you know that Rome is one of the most expensive historical serials ever made?

It has been criticized for not sticking to the facts. But then it is not a text book. One can always consult text books for that. The serial’s strong point was the sensitive depiction of the characters and the working of their minds set this epic drama apart from any other historical serial. One get transported to the ancient Rome while watching it. Especially the episode showing the death of Julius Caesar was very impressive. The politics surrounding the power has remained same over the centuries; I mean, the ruthlessness with which political aspirants disposed off their rivals is still the same. It’s a classic to which one can return again and again.

There has been a buzz about its being made into a film. But nothing has come of it so far. Lots of fans like me would love to have another go at it I am sure. I wonder why there is no third season of this show. Any idea???

Heroes of the republic

Have you seen this episode ‘Heroes of Republic‘ of the show ‘Rome’? This was completely Vorenus’s episode. The same man who left his wife doubting her, and thinking that she has as affair with somebody and also cursed his children. Eventually his wife dies in the previous episodes and obviously his children hate him for his hatred for them. In this episode he rescues his children and wants to bring them back home. But kids are now unwilling to go with the killer of their mother, so they reach their aunt’s house and their aunt suggests them to forgive their father and go with him. Kids follow her advice but not wholeheartedly, they come with their father just to save their lives and to have two square meals a day. So they pretend as they love their father a lot but keep their fingers crossed at their lie.

I liked this episode a lot, because from the last many episodes we were watching just war and war and war. In this episode I found some emotional drama blended with the evergreen serious tone of Rome. I like this show, and I am a bit sad that it’s not on screen anymore. That’s why I prefer to watch the show over here. Today I watched this episode and got really impressed so decided to write about it. This episode is really touchy and you must watch it. But I heard a buzz about the ‘Rome’ movie is confirmed. But till now I don’t have any information about movie. So we have to wait more for that.

So I was talking about Rome TV show, it was running in on off format. Initially the show was quite absorbing and then the wars started and continued for many episodes and then again story came back on track. A few episodes were fabulous but a few made it dull. I suppose this was the reason behind not stretching it to more seasons.

Historic events always fascinate me, and the show was serving to that thirst in me. You will notice that there are many similarities between the old times and now.

Rome is impressive

Rome was a very prestigious project of HBO which has made a place in the classics ever produced on the TV. It’s a series which could be watched after many years and is still found relevant as the power struggle that forever. There are no friends and no enemies in the politics, and power hungry politicians don’t shy from stabbing their friends in back if it suits their purpose.

‘Rome’ contains both of the flavors history as well as Politics. So I think this is the best choice for the people who love reading history.

I do like history and reading about other countries, but I hardly get enough time. So this TV show was the best source to satisfy my hunger for the historical drama. What we watch has greater impact than what we read. I got to know many interesting things about Rome from this series. The first season includes the transformation of Roman republic society into the Roman Empire, as the rulers became very wealthy that they used their power to tip the balance of power in their favor turning republic into dictatorship. The political developments and cunning policies were depicted in a fine way in this season. I don’t know why the show didn’t go for the third season.

Whatever I had read about the Rome in the books became more clear and visible to me after watching this show. Now I can write in the better way about Rome than before. Secondly, in books I had read about just the events, but by watching the show you get a glimpse in to their life style, routine and culture. The show concentrated on every detail to make ancient Rome come alive in our living rooms.

Season 1 finale Kalends of February

Previously, we’re discussing on season 2 finale, so today I am here to discuss season 1 finale with you buddies….

So, season’s finale opens with Pullo and Vorenus fighting the final gladiator in the arena. Cicero plans to add 100 new senators mainly from Celtic and Gallic tribes. Pullo and Lucius are considered as local heroes by the people, so Caesar decides to make them senators. Cimber, Cassius and Casca plot to kill Caesar.

Caesar doesn’t want to follow Posca’s advice and his fully trust his new friend Vorenus for his protection. Caesar goes to the Senate House as usual and on the other hand, Vorenus heads to his home quickly after listening that his son has gone missing, leaving Caesar unguarded. Trebonius removes Caesar’s outer toga layer and Casca strikes the first blow, cutting Caesar’s hand.

Vorenus faces up his wife, Niobe, who commits suicide after their confrontation. Caesar is dying, Brutus walks over to him. Caesar expects a friendly behavior from him. But Brutus also betrays his trust and shows his loyalty towards senate. So, this was the Rome season 1 finale. Following are the best lines from the episode-

Servilia: So you see the tyrant is dead, the republic is restored and you are alone. Would you like some honey water?

Vorenus: What’s wrong?
Niobe: You’re still awake?
Vorenus: You’re worrying very loudly.

Caesar: I was just about to wake you. Wherever you were you were not enjoying yourself.

So, what says? Rome is over but I really want series to come back, if not more, at least for once. Are there any chances?

Rome: such a distinction

I’m a TV addict and lot of my time is spent watching TV shows (yeah, yeah, free time). I’ve watched innumerous TV shows and have written reviews on several TV episodes. While talking about TV series, people usually say TV shows are repeating themselves.

And, it’s true to some extent. You’ll find same story, same arc with different characters’ on some TV show. But, there’s only one show which can be called distinct, or truly different TV show.

Yeah, I’m talking about ‘Rome’. Show’s big budget and production values make the show look like a movie rather than a Television show. That’s why Rome has won Golden Globe, Emmy Nomination and BAFTA awards. Watch the best of Rome here. Series opens with the conflict between Pompey and his long time friend Caesar. It’s a story as old as the story of humanity itself - both men want power and Rome just isn’t big enough for the two of them. Series like Rome are rarely made and whenever they are made, they never fail to leave their mark on the viewers.

Rome has successfully completed 2 seasons. But now, it’s officially confirmed that Season 3 is not coming. What rubbish, why did they cancel the series? Quality shows are very rare, and those which are there, are being cancelled. Aah! I’m feeling so helpless. Well, what to do?

Best quotes from the last Rome Episode

Here are some of the memorable quotes from the last episode of Rome.

Cleopatra: The man, what’s his name?

Vorenus: Titus Pullo.

Cleopatra: Yes. Is he a good man?

Vorenus: Define good.

Agrippa: What did she say?

Octavian: She said I have a rotten soul.

Agrippa: Oh.

Octavian: Caesarion has escaped with Lucius Vorenus. The man turns loyalty into a vice.

Rome Season 3: Not Coming

Rome has completed two successful seasons but after two seasons only, the hit HBO series has been cancelled. What’re the reasons behind the cancellation of the show? Well, it’s clear now that the series has been cancelled due to low rating and too many expenses.

They have decided to cancel the show and there’re no ‘Rome’ episodes for the last one year. There may be other reasons why they cancelled the show but there’s a single reason why I’m writing this post and that is only to make you guys aware that the complete Rome TV show is available online and you can download every episode.

Now, it’s possible to watch Rome, whether season 3 comes or not. So, don’t care about season 3. If it’s announced, latest information will be here and if it’ll not come, then Season 1 & Season 2 are available for download here.
