Man, that was a great miniseries, IMO, the best HBO ever had, with "Band of Brothers" being first. ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | ||

Rome was excellent, I'd have loved to have seen it continue with Octavius and Marc Antony | |||

I guess one good reason I liked Rome better than GOT was that Rome didn't jump around every 5 minutes to a scene that lasted five minutes. Plus, based on events that actually happened and it's a great buddy story. ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | |||

Rome was great, I still put it third behind The Wire and Deadwood. Not going to rate GoT until it's in the books, probably top 2 though for its sheer magnitude of great story lines . I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games --Riff Raff-- | |||

I'd also love to see Vorenus and Pollo team up again and kick ass. ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | |||

I agree with that. I was going on sheer ratings while we are talking about the content subjectively. I do like a good historically based miniseries for sure. What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

Yeah, I would guess that a lot of the ratings for GOT comes from a generation or two having more knowledge of dragons and magic than they do of ancient Western history. ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | |||

I liked when it originally ran. I did try to re-watch it in the last couple of years and got bored with it, though. | |||

Yeah, I was the same way when it ran. I might be a bit less wowed now, as other things have come along on television, particularly something like "Breaking Bad." ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | |||

I enjoyed Rome as well. They spent a ton of money on the production. I thought of going back and rewatching on HBO GO, but I think I'll just leave it be. As to which was the best HBO series, naturally everyone has their favorites but you wong go wrong with The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood or GOT in the top spots. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

I loved Rome. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

What an awesome scene, I've always thought there was no real "good" way to die in those days. This article explains the sudden end of the show. http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv...nally-very-different | |||

"Rome" was very good. We enjoyed it a lot. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

You probably liked it because John Milius was the creator. A few of his films, original Red Dawn, Conan the Barbarian, Flight of the Intruder. He wrote Apocalypse Now, 1941, Clear and Present Danger. John is right wing in a sea of liberals. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||
