It's a real shame that Boromir died like he did though, but it was a noble death.
Like you I found this series late and I've watched 7 of 8 episodes from season one thus far, sorta set it aside recently... actually 6 months, but I'll get back to it again soon as the winter nights draw in again. I have season two to watch afterwards. As an aside I just bought season three of The Walking Dead and recently got given Season two of Rome - so my winter TV viewing is pretty well set now. I don't watch TV programmes since I don't have an aerial or sat dish so it's mostly DVDs I watch or You Tube.
Yeah, know what you mean about the adult content of it, def' not for kids.
