Rome was a good show. - bittorrent So the new HBO show Rome totally fucking rocks. I mean we are talking great. Sure, between the time of Gladiator, Troy, and that terrible miniseries this summer (Empire or something was it?), I thought there would never be a true to toga society drama on TV. Then came HBO, 100 million dollars, and Rome! https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/hbo-rome-episode-3/ Fri, 16 Sep 2005 00:51:47 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/hbo-rome-episode-3/ > Thoughts from the future: + Well I am glad I was enjoying the show. - bittorrent - references to my crazy, and asian, roommate at the time So, I just have to write my weekly comments on HBO Rome because the show is totally awesome. Episode 3 was a let down kind of for me, only because it left me wanting more. Before the show my roomate was swearing that a certain wife was the mother of a certain (illegitimate) child, but I thought he was just crazy … and asian, but I was wrong. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/frodo-in-hbo-rome/ Mon, 19 Sep 2005 21:01:29 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/frodo-in-hbo-rome/ > Thoughts from the future: + Well, they do look alike! As I am sure you can tell, I am a big fan of HBO’s new series Rome. It is an incredible show with a great story and even greater atmosphere. However, since the first episode there has been one thing that has bothered me. Everytime I see Octavia I think she looks exactly like Elijah Wood and it just makes me think Frodo Baggins. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/the-end-of-star-wars/ Tue, 21 Mar 2006 21:19:21 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/the-end-of-star-wars/ > Thoughts from the future: + This actually never happened. - George Lucas still ruined Star Wars. So it’s happening, George Lucas intends to put the final nail in the coffin with a TV series. I honestly hope that this new TV series featuring a young Luke in growing up on Tatooine is an early April Fools joke. I doubt it is, as I’m sure every marketing person and Lucas himself sees dollar signs in their eyes. https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/the-heroes-finale-or-fizzle/ Wed, 23 May 2007 16:47:39 +0000 https://www.matthemsteger.com/posts/the-heroes-finale-or-fizzle/ > Thoughts from the future: + This show was completely forgettable. This post is obviously a spoiler, I would avoid reading it if you have not seen the show! Then again you can probably predict the ending if you have ever imagine up a semi-happy ending to some kind of hero like possible disaster. Was it just me or was the Heroes big finale on Monday more of a big Fizzle?
