btw, I thought this episode was pretty awesome...but I'm wondering why the spoilers for the marriage of Antony and Octavia are messed up. They all say that they were supposed to be involved two episodes ago, and yet I haven't seen anything. But, from what I can see, I'm sure Octavia marries Antony more for political reasons, and Antony marries her for political reasons, as well as getting with Atia.
That last battle scene was hot! I was a little surprised by the blood, but it was still realistically done. I knew Vorenus would eventually come in and help Pullo if it was obvious that Pullo was too weak to continue fighting.
I think the actor who portrays Brutus does a great job of showing his conflicts. In Shakespeare's story, he was always my favourite character. I don't necessarily dislike him now...I just think he honours integrity above all else, which is his (tragic) flaw. His relationship with Caesar was strained the first time around, when Caesar didn't exactly treat him as a friend would, so there's always going to be suspicious between them.
