I can't watch Rome on DVD. It's against the rules. I belong to the old school where you are forced to wait until things arrive, accompanied even by commercials. As late as the 80's my cronies and I were still hailing our old B&W set as ''real TV''. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 uhmm, lol ok I personally would say "Screw the rules" (whoever set them) and welcome to the 21st century... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no---you have to be at the mercy of the networks. But this is an old timers' thing, a hangover from growing up with TV in the 50's. It makes things more fun. No immediate gratification. Of course, I have the luxury of saying this since TV up here has few commercials, no editing of sex, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 The problem is that the series was good-but from chatting on the forum it transpires that a lot of material was cut out, ( the sex was ok for Britain , but the politics were too difficult apparently episodes 1 and 2 were truncated in particular)so I for one await the dvds with bated breath in the hope of a lot more political exposition. The sex was acceptable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Suffice it to say that back then, men not only worshipped goats, they borrowed their mating habits. Oh, come now. They didn't worship goats per se, just gods that looked like them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philalexandros Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'm watching the series currently and I have to say it seems to be alright, nothing to spectacular though. I must say however, I really enjoy the costumes and the set they really make it seem authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
