Thank you ROME! Ep. 1-7 "Pharsalus" with its Les!Yay was just what I needed after a long week of marking and doing interim reports. Seriously, I don't care what anybody else says, Servilia/Octavia is Hot, hot, with a double scoop of hotness on top. (With just a bit, a dash perhaps, of hot for flavor.)tm WhiteRabbit.



Last week my friend told me that I was crazy; that I was reading too much into the interactions between Servilia and Octavia. That Octavia's little swallow as Servilia came close to her, and her dreamy doe-eyed gazing at Servilia was indicative of her reveling in having a mother-figure that was actually maternal and not an indication of Octavia wanting to knock boots with Servilia.

He changed his tune after Octavia's masturbation (and consequent prayer)scene however. And what a masturbation scene it was (though too short). I was never on the Kerry Condon lust train, but that scene and this episode surely changed that. Ooooh, Octavia, you saucy little minx! Seriously though Condon did an awesome job portraying Octavia's longing, you could really just feel her desire every time Octavia and Servilia were on screen together.

So he was right there whispering "kiss, kiss" along with me during the hug of sublimated longing. Seriously, that was like the sexiest hug I have ever seen on tv, with Octavia kind of smelling Servilia and looking at her neck like she just wanted to lick, and suck and kiss her skin until the sun went down.

And when the kiss came it was totally worth the wait. Weaving was never so much fun, I'm sure. Sure some people were disappointed at the fade to black right after, but I didn't have a problem with it. The build up, and then the kiss itself (from Octavia's awkward, over-eager, and anxious caresses to the first tentative touch of her lips to Servilia and then firmer contact when she realized that Servilia wasn't going to pull away. Masterful) were more than enough.

Although I know it can't end well, I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Especially seeing more kissage/snuggleage, and I especially can't wait to see what Atia's reaction to Octavia sleeping with the enemy is going to be (besides hilarious, which is guarenteed).

Cannot wait until Sunday!

P.S. All of the tm's are from the ROME forum at Television without Pity

Okay, why have I never heard of this show? I'm salivating at the realisation of UST and I don't even know who you're talking about. I think a net search is in order *g*.

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)

I might have to download episode 7, and watch it out of sequence... just because you make it sound sooo hot.
