These days I'd have to choose AMC because they have the three best shows on TV right now. HBO has been suffering for a while now.
In other news, I read that a Rome movie is almost a done deal. Bruno Heller, the creator, has written a script that takes place 4 years after the series ended and he has funding secured already. They said that he is close to signing both Kevin McKidd and Ray Stevenson. Which proves what I thought all along - Lucius Vorenus didn't die after all!
Did you know that those two names were real? They both appear in Caesar's "Commentarii de Bello Gallico", Book 5, Chapter 44 and are described as Centurions (although not of the 13th). Good reading, btw- it blows my mind to read the words of a man who lived so long ago.
