Nero...wan't he a captain?

Oh, that was Nemo...

(Couldn't resist. After all, if one can call an emperor a socialist, one can do any sort of violence to history)

Heh!

They've actually managed to improve this a little. (It's like car crash TV, I can't stop watching it) They're getting into his psychosis a little now which is much more... Nero-like. But this whole thing they started with, the weeping for the people of Rome as the city burned and the vow to do everything he could for the citizens... it was almost painful to watch.

Now I'm just watching it as a play, rather than a pseudo-documentary. It's actually kinda fun this way. :)

Well, guess someone in the BBC is still carrying a grudge over the entire Roman occupation deal... :D

I hope you're referring to Briton rather than Britain, 'cause hey, Hadrian built that wall for a reason... *g*

Well, yes, to keep us civilized citizens from being attacked by the barbarians. Obviously. :)

Damn straight.

*g*

I always heard that the Romans were too afraid of the midgies to come this far north!

Nero - wasn't he the guy from the Matrix?

no, that was Neo.

We taped it. Docudramas it will be good for a laugh.

I am just trying to figure out why they showed Nero first they are showing Caeser next week. Plus the battle scene in the trailer looked a bit LOTRish.

BBC is on a bit of a docudrama kick at the moment what with these and the WWII ones.

Ben was grousing about that as well - maybe they're just using some strange sort of non-linear time that we don't know about.
