Sorry, but I think that really, really does suck... not because I don't want to see Actium but because we are going to Philippi in episode 6, and then suddenly we get to flipping Actium in the last four episodes? At most they'd have four and a half episodes (if we have Philippi and Brutus' death halfway through episode 6) to get to that point, which I think is really stupid.

They've obviously decided to cram the whole lot in so demands for a 3rd series won't be as large... but seriously, they should have had twelve episodes like the last season because it seems strange that they cover two years in six episodes and finish the next twelve years or so in four episodes!
