The cycles these characters go through are so intense. I love them--one minute, you don't think they can get any lower, and the next they're ruling the city. And never once does it feel contrived.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Yes. This. It's really a great insight historically. If a man lost power, his whole family suffered for it. It makes me very emotionally vested in the outcomes of the plots (especially the fictional ones where I am clueless of the outcome).

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
And I got shivers when Antony walked into the palace in Cairo, and he and Cleopatra just said each other's names with all that will come behind it. I am *so* glad there are five more episodes.
I thought there were only two more episodes left.

I like SA's answer better! I can't tell from the HBO site at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought there were only two more episodes left.
I think you're right, unfortunately. I want MORE!
[Yep, just confirmed with DH -- only 2 left this season, and so far they're standing by their decision not to renew because it's too expensive.]

Bleck! I thought we'd at least get a full thirteen. Frell.
I know it's expensive, but that's why it's so *good.* It's worth every penny. (I say, not paying for the subscription.)

Dude, only two eps to show the *historical spoilers*Battle of Actium* and all of its fallout, including the death of Marc Antony and Cleopatra and the foundation of the Roman Empire??? Not. Enough. Episodes.

I was hoping you'd do that! Since my tech-fu is still weaker than a motherfucker and all. But I'm not posting from a damn stairmaster at least.

Hey, I finally get that! Saw the Ray Cole wake last week sometime. Today, Hamsterdam got underway - so weird. The cop escorting Bubbles's friend down to cop "I hear that WMD is the bomb", so surreal.
And Avon is out. This is about to get very interesting, I think.
