I agree. There was too much blatant sex at first, then it was just "Full Frontal" everywhere. It's all about that Balance...? :roll:
I would have liked to have seen more battle action as well, they made such an effort in the first episode...Was it too difficult to do? I did like the scene of the fight practicing between Pullo and Octavian. It gave me some possibilities in technique to chew over. Shields were a bit small though, and there was way too much stop-motion-turn-based fighting. Extanging shield knocks that do nothing...And hitting the shield with the sword...LAME...But like I said, it got my mind grinding.
And did we *really* need to see Pompey's head chopped off? You don't see the bastard lover's thumbs getting cut off, except for the insinuated "prop" Pullo tosses into the stream...But then you see a Pushkin Nosed Greek get a sword through the throat (what was up with that fake nose anyway?), and a guy's head severed....Not terribly consistent.
Still gonna watch and see how it goes though. Now we're going to Aegyptus! Woo!
