Herc,

Longtime reader, here with a scoop I picked up on through friends of this new show's lead actor. Apparently, HBO has been developing a new series called 'The Centurion'. It takes place in Rome during the height of the empire. The interesting thing is that the story focuses on the idea that aliens regularly visited and encouraged the civilization there. From what I know, the contracts are all being signed now and the show is practically a go for shooting the end of this year into next, for a fall release. You can call me thedefiantone!

So we have Ancient Rome + Science fiction + HBO... this makes me wanna go

Holy shit, I hope this gets the go ahead...

So one episode will have the Emperor watching two lions fight each other when a spaceship lands and a green blobby thing with tentacles slithers up and is like "dude, what if you put a person in there instead?"

Tim Curry needs to be involved.

Also, Fred Willard.

If only Don Knotts were still alive.

They should somehow work zombies into this. Like, the aliens re-animate the corpses of the dead christians thrown to the lions and the shit goes down. And the big kicker is - that is the reason why Rome Burned:

Reanimated Christian Zombies Brought Back to Life by Space Aliens.

Seriously, it writes itself.
