Ok so we've all been waiting for that fackin' witch to get what's coming to her, but now that it finally happened, what was your take on it and on what was done to her? I had thought they were going to just kill her, so I was a bit taken aback with the rape, the whipping, the facial slicing, etc.
I had figured with last week's previews that they were done with the actor who plays Octavian, but a part of me kept hoping that they'd filmed these first few episodes before they took their yearlong break and then the year that was in between was enough growing time for the actor. Oh well. The new guy sounds just like him, so I guess he's fine. I'm not really liking the Sean Astin clone that they picked for Agrippa.
I loved how they cued the opening music as Pullo and Vorenus gather up the children and leave the slave camp. It was very "Pullo and Vorenus Ride Again"ish. (can't think of any other way to say it)
How much time has passed? My husband seems to think that years have passed, but I'm pretty sure that Pullo and Eirene were gone for three months according to the caption two weeks ago. Am I wrong? Was it longer?
