Woot!! I just watched episode 1 last night, and I think I need some kind of chart so I know who is who.. (right now the only people I can aptly identify are Ceasar, Pompei, Octavia and Octavius)
LOL. Yeah, it's a HUGE cast! It took me a couple episodes to get every down. Marc Antony, Pullo, Vorenus, Niobe, Brutus, Cicero, and ATIA will definately become clear in your mind soon though (they have the most screen time. Then there's nice bit players like Timon, and Posca that you'll get to know).
I might have to download episode 7, and watch it out of sequence... just because you make it sound sooo hot.
LOL. I should discourage that, but it IS. HOT. LOL Basically if you just watch the Octavia/Servilia parts of ep. 7 you shouldn't be confused. Basically the set up for it is Atia has had Octavia's husband killed (so she could marry her off to Pompei but that did work out, so Octavia is single now), so there's tension between Octavia and Atia, because Octavia thinks her mom had something to do with the husbands death but isn't sure. As for Servilia, she has been dumped by Caesar because their relationship became public (due to Atia hiring people to draw lewd pictures of them 'doing it' on walls all over Rome - hee! I love Atia). So Servilia has basically cursed the whole family (she wished for Atia to be raped by dogs! Yeah I know, not a woman with whom to fuck!) and the curse seems to be coming true because Caesar is having trouble with his military campaign which has put Atia is a vulnerable position (she's his neice, and her power and security comes from his power). So Atia sent Octavia over to visit Servilia with a gift/peace offering (a slave with a huge, um member, since according to Atia "A large penis is always welcome", lol) in the hopes that Servilia will lend them guards. Octavia is mortified to have to deliver this gift to Servilia but Atia insists so she goes on over. Servilia sees how mortified Octavia is and offers her some kind words, and assures her that she has always had a high opinion of her and that she's a lovely girl. Octavia promptly looks like a puppy that's just gotten its belly rubbed and it's ears scratched and looks at Servilia like she covered in icing!
And this is where there relationship is when ep. 7 starts followed by much hotness. And that was a way longer summary than I thought it would be!
