me too! For a few episodes leading up to the finale I had that in the back of my mind.

Rome
Me: The point is simply this: While the writers hands are tied on some things, Caesar has to die, they have plenty of characters in which they have a free hand. They often try to create suspenseful moments or plot lines with those characters, but almost always the audience can figure out what's what well before I get the impression it was intended. It's not their strong suit, but they frequently attempt it.

Are you familiar with the literary technique of foreshadowing? Why do you suppose the film makers dropped all of the hints you just mentioned? Is it perhaps because they want the viewer to understand ahead of time that Antony will be attacked in the forum? It's just one of many examples of what I was arguing (and most people here seem to agree). I think that post was from more than a year ago, so forgive me if I'm fuzzy on what exactly was being talked about (and I don't care to check). Regardless, foreshadowing is one thing. Removing all suspense and questions as to how something will happen is quite another. The biggest shock of the whole series is that Caesar didn't say anything at all to Brutus (which, depending on what you read, may or may not be accurate) EDIT: That being said, the show is still enjoyable, just not very suspenseful.

Anyone notice this?
I'd imagine having to work with live action and green screens complicates things

Mixed bag, I guess we'll see what happens But one thing for sure, I'm putting Lost and BSG on notice!

Same creator. Great ideas, but no finish.

It too will die a slow death. EDIT: I'm a bit hopeful for a resurgence in quality, since they have apparently set an end date.

Yea, BSG figures out ways to answer question that leave giant plot holes or just in ridiculously silly ways. Both shows are slowly being crushed by their back story at this point.

What if there is a fire that destroys your computer and your hard copies? That's why you have to keep a copy buried 6 feet underground in a concrete bunker. Lead lined, of course.

Rome
and CLEARLY it was added so the writers can do something other than basically stage a play of Shakespeare's Caesar. However, those parts have always been predictable. To argue that their just a technique to give context to the period is to say the characters in Deadwood are the same. Sure, they give context, but that's not nearly the only point of their existence. Especially if their the lead.

Clark would likely be covered by one of our 3 speedy linebackers, no?

Wait, why would you talk about the over-hyped (coming into the season) Colts defense like that? Which one? Ricky Manning Jr. or Danieal Manning? Parcells retired FYI everyone

From ESPN: Odds on how Peyton Manning celebrated his first Super Bowl berth: # 50 to 1 Smoking something he had hidden in his water bottle # 8 to 1 A Kenny Chesney album, the volume all the way up, the robot # 5 to 1 Watching film of the Bears celebrating to see if he could pick up any tendencies # 4 to 1 Cutting his meat # 2 to 1 Filming a commercial in which he celebrates his first Super Bowl berth ...................................................................... Not In This Issue * Kanye West: "Lovie Smith and the Bears don't care about black people" * Kyle Orton already listed as "doubtful" for Super Bowl with severe hangover * Classy Patriots refrain from crying on Colts' logo
