Do you hate Octavian because of the collapse of the Republic or for other reasons? As far as the show goes, I am conflicted because I really hate his attitude (personality), but the actor looks so much like he could be Paul Bettany's son that I have a hard time not enjoying him (also his ability to mimic Max P is really stunning).

It's too bad you have no love for Agrippa. I find the actor quite charming. I think it's because he's got the beef noodle hearty thing going on along with not a small amount of what comes off as naivete.

Sorry about the spam. I think you and qot are the only people on my fl who watch this show, so you get all my stalking (with the added benefit that you can answer all my questions).

Something I find curious is that I am not entirely sure that MA isn't in love with Atia here. I wonder if that's why they've decided to shift Octavia into the Julia role because at this point the tension will be greater when MA runs off with Cleopatra (I am assuming Atia lives). I mean, they already jacked up Octavia's story so much that what difference does it make if they marry her to Agrippa and have her be a drug-addicted whore who gets exiled?

What the hell is up with the African (assuming) serving girl?
