Just saw a guy get flogged, a threat of crucifiction, and a dude refer to someone as "piss drinking sons of circus whores."

This has potential

A severed head, a kidnapped kid beating one of his kidnappers to death, uhm, a lady being submerged in sacrificial cow's blood. This is gonna be GOOOOD.

I liked both girls who were responsible for the "nudity" warning before it started. This has potential.

For those of you who sat your ass in front of the tv for another 30 mins...

Where does Entourage go from here? I think Ari doing what he did and Vince choosing to do what he did will make this even a better show. I loved seeing Mandy though!

I'd like to see a cross between Entourage and Rome.

And I don't even watch TV, so I don't even know if that comment made sense.

It was kinda losing me the first 20 - 25 minutes, just wasn't catching my attention. But then it really started to get good, I'll be watching next week for sure.

Anyone know what that other new series is gonna be about, called Big Love?

Nevermind, I looked it up. It's about polygamy.

The local HBO industry-type party for the launch of this was downstairs at our thursday gig. We had to delay starting by like 20 minutes. There was a life-sized cut out of a guy in a very OPA-friendly little Roman-esque outfit.

it's HBO, i'm sure they'll be showing this a coupla times a day, everyday this week.

i agree with whomever said it was kinda lagging at the beginning but then got good towards the end. i'll tune in again next week.

also, the full frontal nudity was nice.
