    Of course, the whole point of Brutus is and always has been - how he approaches the conspiracy that will destroy his benefactor. So I guess we'll have to wait (like, 3 months) to see!

    Another thing I hope they bring out in this Brutus is his strong intellectual streak, which everyone seems to have noticed. Whether you paint him as an ivory-tower intellectual or as someone who simply related more to ancient philosophers than to real human beings, his development within the context of the grander story playing out needs to make some kind of sense - but at least "the noblest Roman of them all" stuff (good, but limited) appears not to be where they're going thus far.
