I admit, I did enjoy "August". Its just that as a classicist/roman history buff, any time anyone uses Suetonius's "Lives of the Caesars" as their primary source for the Julio-Claudian emperors it kind of gets on my nerves. The guy was basically getting paid by their successors to dig up dirt on the first several…

There is exactly as much validity to the belief that Livia poisoned everyone and that Augustus was molested by Julius Caesar as there is to thinking Obama was born in Kenya. In both cases the only people who ever believed it were the person in questions political enemies. It's just that Suetonius was a better writer…

I was going to say something about Orson Scott Card, but Zach beat me to it in the article. He was one of my top three favorite authors for a long time.

I have a thought abut 'Mycroft'. If this show is going to have a Mycroft character, I thought it would make sense that its his father, especially given the way he never makes meetings because 'important business' always comes up. Sounds like the kind of excuse a secret government  one-man think tank would offer.
