Some brief thoughts on Rome & Alatriste...
Deathmask could hardly be more appropiate name for the episode that seems to signal the show's end. Why do I say this? Well, mainly because nothing, that happens in the episode is historical at all (well, actually the division of the territories between the triunvirate is, but just that).
It's really a shame (Specially considering that the episode had such strong moments. I'm not discussing any to avoid spoilers). Rome had been so far the best historical tv show, well... Ever... It's hard to see it turn its back on its principles in such a way.
Anyway, maybe I shouldn't be so fatalistic, perhaps they can still manage to build a good ending with the infighting between the triumvirate. No? They can't mess Mark Antony and Octavius fight for power, can they?
Well at least, Lucius Vorenus seems to be back to his usual self. More or less...

As for Alatriste, both, Luis and I, figured a way of seriously improving the film, without spending a single € in filming, special effects or anything. Just include a voice over that says before the first scene,: "Previously in Alatriste...", and then show the rest of the film as if it was a summary of a 24, one hour episodes, series.
It greatly improves the quality of the film, don't you agree? :-D.
