Anyone else watching the \*Rome \*“marathon” on HBO this week? I’m finding it equally enjoyable the 2nd time, and I’m surprised at how much of the detail I missed the first time around, especially in these early episodes. I had a hard time keeping track of all the characters and how they were interrelated during the first few episodes, so I’m finding myself saying “Oh, that’s who that guy was” quite a bit.
