Cleopatra finally got what she deserved

Crap.....now I won't have that OR BSG to look forward to. What am I supposed to do sunday night now?

Thats easy HBO makes just as good shows as HBO movies! Watch all of the HBO movies!

After having watched it and had time to sit & think about the episode, I've decided I don't really like how the series ended. Antony & Celo was fine, as was Atia getting her inner-bitch back, but nothing else really was. Octavian ended up more whiny than cunning in the end, and Octavia deserved Agrippa which didn't happen. As for Pullo and Vorenis, V's kids neither learned the truth of their mother taking her own life or really accepted him in the end. The fact that he died saving Pullo's son doesn't really help matters either; he really ended up being a tragic hero where nothing went right for him when it should have. I do like how Pullo's story ended though, as in spite of his losses he ends with a happy story of successfully finishing to raise Vorenis's kids and finding his own son.

It was a great series altogether, but I could have gone for a slightly happier ending.

The series finale was awesome, too bad they didn't do as good a job with the series finale of Deadwood.

Anybody know what new series are in the works for HBO?

Thats a good question. No more Sopranos, Rome or Deadwood.

Entourage and Big Love are entertaining, but can't compare with the top three.
Well there still is the Wire.
