The bird-eating scene with Livia saved her for me, I think. That was a cold scene and given what she had just witnessed, classic. Overall, though, I completely agree. And for that reason, Pullo was my champion this week - well, that and the moment at the end with Antony and Cleopatra greeting each other. It was rather like the moment in Star Wars Episode I when Anakin is introduced to Obi-Wan. Everything around it kinda lacked, and then BAM. Fate enters. Course set and fixed.
