Okay, this is going to be my last Ides of March themed post for this year, I swear.

So! Rome thoughts, yes? This is going to be a bit disjointed, because I last saw these episodes lo these mumble-mumble weeks ago and am working on memory only, but here goes.

( Only tyrants need to worry about tyrant killers. )
Overall, I found this series very compelling and enjoyed it. I'll definitely be watching the second season.

Oh, and I first got the idea to watch this from a woman giving a conference at the Louvre on Ancient History (different area of study, though) and praising its historical accuracy so ther eyou go.

I've been planning to see Avengers since it came out on April 25. I was originally supposed to see it on the following saturday, the next tuesday and the saturday after that. It didn't work out so well. Each of the people I had plans with cancelled on me at least once and up to five times (five times). It was always for good reasons too, so I can't really blame them, but it's still kind of ridiculous.

I guess it'll make a funny story one day.

tl;dr: IT WAS AWESOME! but I wish there'd been more women.

Also, I got the promotional comic for free. Note to Panini: Episode 5 of Young Avengers: the Children's Crusade is not a good tie-in comic for the movie or even a good gateway to Marvel comics, as it opens with way too many not-introduced characters hitting each other in the face.
