All my thoughts on episode 9: Utica; may contain spoilers:
-----------------------------
AWESOME episode.
I loved that Pullo finally got with the slave girl, but she seemed kind of cold about the whole thing. I guess she feels that she has to do whatever he tells her, and doesn't want to displease him in any way. Otherwise she doesn't have romantic feelings towards him. Maybe? I dunno.
I felt really bad for Servilia. I can't really hate her, even though she got Octavia to do her evil bidding. I can't believe Octavia and Octavian slept together, but, actually, there were many clues about this happening straight from HBO's mouth, so it was predictable.
I'm starting to like Octavian, and I've always liked Octavia. I guess her relationship with Servilia won't last longer, but they seem to still have some affection for each other. I'm guessing she'll be with Antony for more political reasons than anything else.
I'm eager to see what'll happen to Atia and if Caesar will find out what she did to Servilia. I came up with other theories, and Atia seems to be the one who did it. Makes more sense that way. I almost thought Atia would have her killed, but it's probably worse to humiliate her that way. Plus, it's hard to have someone as important as Servilia just killed by Atia. I think not only Caesar, but Brutus would also have something to say about that.
Best line: "You look like laundry" by Pullo, hahaha.
I can't wait until this thing comes out on DVD, which won't take too long, knowing how producers work nowadays. Especially since there are (apparently) only three more episodes until the end of the first season. Makes sense, since most shows only have about 10 episodes for their first season. So maybe, with some luck, it'll be out for the New Year with lots of special features.
