The series was incredibly fun. A smart historical soap opera with some really clever touches. If you haven't watched it, you should.

Cool, liked the series. But didn't Vorenus die at the end? Or was it just badly injured? They were kind of ambigious on it.

You never quite saw him die, although it was implied.

The creator of the show said almost immediately after the finale that it was up to the viewer to decide, and that he liked to think Vorenus lived. But as it was played in the show, it sure did look like whoever directed it was implying he died.

There are rumors of a Rome movie. I read the plot in Season 2 was condensed. Was originally supposed to play out over 4 or 5 seasons.

The movie was what the link was about. And, yeah, kind of sucks that they had to condense the story, but I think this would be something wholly different rather than something intended for the series. Whereas, if Deadwood, for example, were to get a movie, I am sure that would wrap up the series rather than go off in a new direction.

I thought the set to Rome caught on fire. Not sure if there's a movie to be pulled out of this any more. I do think I'll go watch the series over the next few weeks again though.

I heard that about the movie as well



I think they condensed it because despite it doing well in ratings and popularity ect... it was too expensive to make


you can tell they had to do a rush job in season 2 to get all the info in, especially after watching season one where its perfectly paced
