Also, I would like to see more focus on Agrippa, his accomplishments, his loves, his motivations, and why he didn't unleash some serious whoop-ass onto Octavius for dissing him so.

But it won't be the same without Lindsay Duncan ("Atia of the Julii, I call for justice"). If they can get Polly Walker back as Atia, I am sooo there.

Still, there is the whole rise-of-the-Messiah business, which we didn't get to... Who wants to cast Jesus?" . Hey, you know, Henry Ian Cusick ('Desmond' on LOST)played Jesus in the 2003 film 'The Gospel of John'-- I think he'd be great for the same in a 'Rome' movie, he's certainly proven his acting chops as Desmond and has an outstanding theater background.

Of course, first preference would have been to see several more seasons, but being that that is out of the question, I'd love to see a movie on the subject. Of course, I come at this as more of a fan of history than TV drama, and from that perspective the end of season 2 came nowhere near wrapping up all that was available. The most unsatisfying bit of the show to me was always Timon leaving Attia's service and contemplating an assassination of Herod- now I can see where that would have been an interesting lead into season five. I say bring on whatever is left over- the more Rome the better! Awesome, I had stopped reminding you to give us a Rome wrap-up, and then Mr. Heller conveniently intervenes on my behalf.
