The end of Rome

Tuesday, March 27, 2007 by Dave Winer.

Sunday night's episode was the last of the HBO series Rome, which became one of my favorites.  

I didn't know the season was going to end with that episode, but as it proceeded it was clear that they were wrapping things up. Without spoiling the end for anyone who hasn't seen it, I just want to say, it was a satisfying end, not as dramatic as Six Feet Under, and not the disappointment of Deadwood. Something inbetween. Satisfying yet a bit disturbing. 

In the end it was the story of friendship between two Roman soldiers and the love these men have for their children. A sweet ending to good story.
