I didn’t realise I was bored until the Octavian/Livia sex scene. Then, amidst all the slapping and panting, I kept thinking: what is the point of this? Not in the "OMG! I’m disturbed! What is the point of showing this!?", but more "Hmm… is there a point to this? Wonder if I can just skip it and make myself a cup of tea."
It could be just me, but I am having far too many "sex with violence" scenes.. I am not that worried because for me "Rome" is great anyways, but when I see one very violent sex scene I feel disturbed, but when I see too many of them it gets to be a bit tiring. :D Oh, bring me back Agrippa and Octavia! And isn't their little girl so pretty? She is definitely Agrippa's..
Oh, I liked the title though - It was refering to so many things, from the obvious famine , to Vorenus's hunger for Niobe , Atia's for Antony, Caesarion's for his father.. And even Gaia's for Pullo..
