"I discovered halfway through writing the second season the show was going to end. The second was going to end with the death of Brutus. Third and fourth season would be set in Egypt. Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel. But because we got the heads-up that the second season would be it, I telescoped the third and fourth season into the second one, which accounts for the blazing speed we go through history near the end. There's certainly more than enough history to go around."
>tfw there was going to be 5 glorious seasons of this but the plebs decided to cancel it instead...
you realize Rome was canceled six years before Game of Thrones aired due to its own budget issues, right?
producers couldn't balance a budget to save their lives, the first season of Rome cost more than the current season of Game of Thrones
Justin Mitchell
Hmm no wonder its so much better than game of shit
Andrew Brooks
Will Rome motivate me to workout?
Dylan Russell
>mfw HBO regretted the cancellation when DVD sales rolledin
Ian Reed
because actual effort was put into sets and costumes
Josiah Campbell
>mfw I will never a see a Roman woman get fucked by a baboon
Blake Kelly
Whats the matter you dont have baboons in your country?
Evan Collins
more pissed they axed the final season of Deadwood
Jack Turner
there was gonna be like 6 seasons of carnivale too. the hbo ceo back in 2000s was such a retard.
Eli Gomez
fun fact: you can still see some of the rome sets in italy on google earth/maps
Christopher Johnson
There wouldn't have been 6 seasons even if the funding was in place because Nick Stahl is a crackhead.
Luis Davis
A fucking travesty.
Grayson Moore

Levi Diaz
>meanwhile game of thrones is getting a millionth season
Jonathan Martin
In fairness GoT ends next year so maybe HBO will take another stab at this. We should start a letter bomb campaign to make it happen (as in mass mailing not a campaign of terror).
Blake Cooper
Fuck that looks beautiful, that scene of Caesar's coronation was so cool.
Aiden Allen
>tfw they built all this from the ground up and some dickbag burned it down
Julian Baker
that set is actually still standing
Jaxon Edwards
nah they were fat built this was around 2005 before modern Hollywood roid culture kicked in breh
Hudson Gonzalez
It was a time when a tv show with a massive budget just didn't seem like it could ever be a good idea. They were so fucking wrong, though.
Seriously though why don't they just bring it back?
Luke Morris
>back in 2000s
Fuck im old
Kayden Thomas
they were trying to get in on the air for years. they literally used rome's budget to make way for it
Camden Baker

Caleb Jackson
Game of Thrones will have two more seasons
Adrian Jackson

Jeremiah Bell
>Rome set in Egypt and Israel... >worst parts of S2 were the bits in Egypt and the jew arc >fictional Jesus Christ ruining Rome
Fucking ecstatic we didn't have to see this shit
Levi Young
>Deadwood gets canceled for Rome >Carnival canceled for who the fuck knows why? >Rome cancelled for GoT THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Cameron Campbell
Rome got canceled because the set burned down
Ryan Phillips
how does that end a show? i know they have all kinds of insurance
Jaxson Lee
the forum set is still up, rome was cancelled because beacsue the bbc pulled out and hbo didn't want to fit the bill themselves.
Nicholas Jones
Kinda hard to do it by the original plan now.. they basically rushed his planned season 3 and 4 into like 3 episodes at the end of season 2.
S2 Egypt was bad because it was horrifically rushed, for the reasons explained in this thread. The rushing also pretty much stamped out any humour between those 2 male characters, which was great in season one.
Tyler Carter
this is worse than deadwood,why can't we have anything good when shit shows go on forever jdims already
Austin Lopez
Requesting all epic Rome memes....
Landon Turner
>Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel. Thought Rome was a historical drama, not religious sci-fi/fantasy?
Lucas Kelly

Jackson Thompson
>Deadwood ended when it needed to. It would've turned to shit. >season 2 of carnivale of terrible. Especially, when you compare it to season 1. >rome was tolerable, but nothing special. Most of the filler shit, was shit.
Isaac Morgan
kek
Wyatt Thompson
Game of thrones is shit especially the short cuts and shitty sets.
Justin Collins
game of shit
Jordan Cook
...
Alexander Russell
Probably bait, but I am gonna reply anyway. Christianity had a hugh impact on Rome and Christians were prosecuted and executed for many years. There's an interesting side story in there easily.
>Third and fourth season would be set in Egypt. Fifth was going to be the rise of the Messiah in Israel. I'm actually glad it was cancelled theb. Holy shit that would have sucked.
Also >jews not wasting anytime to shove jews in a period show Atia's horse dude and those subplots with his terrorist brother and herod were bad enough.
Samuel Hughes
Rome is among the biggest tryhard/ edgelord cringeworthy series ever to shit up the screen.
>muh rape >muh faggotry >muh violence
Stupid fucking series that only degenerates and edgelords think was any good.
Colton Hernandez
BBC pullout...kek
Zachary Cook
Rome was junk.
Leo Moore
Correct, there's no Roman record of any savior.
Carter Robinson
>From Executive Produce JJ Abrams
No. You can keep it.
Jackson Anderson
yeah... but even Bay managed to make a decent series too (Black Sails)
David Thompson
what about the foundation show they've been talking about for years? is that ever gonna happen?
or plebs cant into good books?
Mason Perez
the only edgelord here is you. faggotry? as i remember there only was one guy with one manwhorekid
