Battles B.C.

Hey, are there any streams of it? I don't have the time to catch it on TV.

No, you have to buy it if you want it legally. As far as Aemilius Paulus, I'm starting to think he's mad at America because they won the cold war. :P Just kidding Aemilius, but you do rather thinly disguise your disdain for the U.S. Ah well, we're used to it.

What little I've seen so far has only confirmed to me that this show is a stunning exercise in retardation. From the horrific breakdown of Hannibal's troops, to all the Romans being decked out in bronze cuirasses like EB Camillan Triarii, and the especially award winning big, buff, dual falcata wielding black man as Hannibal.

This makes "300" look like a documentary by comparison so far.

Haha! Those are great. It's true, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Notice that even the guy on the cross has ripped abs? I wonder if when he was doing those crunches in the gym he was thinking to himself, "10 more reps, I have to look good for my Crucifixion!"

Maybe a prisoner?

Honestly, I won't bother judging anything the History Channel excretes anymore. I don't care if they are operating under the pretense of history, the battle scenes would be just as interesting if they weren't so over-the-top out of proportion.

Of course you are right. How can two enemies like each other? Even now, Putin hates America, and it shows.

Actually, I dislike the US populace in general, but I actually like the country alone. It is a great country indeed, with millions of faults, but still better, considering other countries have billions of faults. And much bad that US does around the world is justified by my Machiavellian attitudes that dictate that once you have power, you must abuse it.

You abuse your power to keep your power.:-p Its how being the big fish in the pond works. You operate as a rogue state and do what you have to do. However you can be a total bastard about it like Sparta was or atleast try to keep the fascade of your moral high ground and don't look for a fight but be ready for a fight all the time like Athens did.

No actually, my idea on the abuse of power is as follows: every other nation who has held power, abused it, so once you obtain power, you must abuse it as well as to not fall behind and to trump your own national interests, deriving some use from the power.

Nothing, nothing.

Wait a bit and they will appear on various Chinese sites such as Tudou, 56, etc. You can watch just about anything there, from the all the Simpsons/HBO Rome episodes to all of the recent Hollywood films. The only minus is low video quality. I do not mind it, however.
