Octavia does occasionally manage to sound like Atia in a rage, and I guess the drug excesses are meant to mirror Atia's madness for sex in some way, so maybe Livia will mirror both of them. Atia more, I hope, because Octavia is so boring. I'm just so fond of Atia. I couldn't even be put against her overseeing Servilia's torture and rape because the entire fight had gotten so over-the-top and cartoonish.
(If Timon thinks changing his mind *after* whipping and raping Servilia means she won't tear him to pieces, he's a fool. If he's lucky she won't murder his wife and children first.)
I would really love to see a Rome vid all about the women.
Do you think Vorenus knows that he's horrible in bed?
I don't think he cares. I expect he improved a bit after Pullo gave him the useful advice about the "button" and once he and Niobe learned how to communicate with each other, but for anyone else--and it seems likely the woman whose name I've never caught is not only the first woman he's slept with since Niobe died but the first woman he's slept with besides Niobe ever, given what he said to Pullo in S1--he sees it as a business transaction/self-punishment/punishment of the woman because she isn't Niobe.
I don't think Vorena will cut her father's throat, either; she'd have tried for that first if she'd been foolish enough. She has some of her mother's pragmatism, I think. But eventually Vorenus is going to be forcibly unblinded, and I expect it to relate to his death in some way, if only in contributing to suicide.
