I Claudius episode 12 (1/6) "Old King Log"

[95hobbes]

"let all the poisons that lurk in the mud, hatch out" couldnt have said it better myself...the line really makes you think of what claudius's intentions were after all that XD

[ajones123ful]

much thanks to zeus...zeusBARK, that is! for putting this up, you have helped to happily get thru several otherwise dull nights at work. i've watched i claudius at least 5 times now and it truly got better every time i watched it. best miniseries of all time, IMHO. those crazy brits.

[JESSJUSTJESS]

Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out. One of my favorite lines from the series.

Poor Narcissuss.He was a freed Claudius' slave and probably most loyal person to him.

[curlzferrero]

Oh dear god, Claudius, DON'T MARRY AGRIPPINA!!!!!

at the risk of sounding like a flaming feminist here I have to ask this question, it is me or do most of the women of this program seem to have more in the brains and common sense department then the men, the ones in power? The women seem to have more on the ball and see the writing on the wall and know more then the ones in power!!

@ohwell

Some fool women were portraited in the Series: Livilla (sister of Claudius), Messalina and Julia (daughter of Augustus). Neither of them got power by any merit, and they were unable of self-restraining. They were in love with evil men, while treasoned good ones, and wanted all quickly and carelessly.Julia was lusty but not evil. Mesalina´s lust fed on her evilness and viceversa.Livilla was the most evil (plotted to kill her own daughter) because of her lust for a man.

I got sooooo tired of reading that the videos are out of sync all through these episodes postings so much that I stopped reading them!!! It is not often and not that noticable!! Who cares? I am just grateful that someone put the time and effort into uploading this classic wonderful story!! THANK YOU!!!

[Patbuchanan]

We've come a long way from Brian Blessed to end up with Christopher Biggins

[VanOstrum]

thanks zeusbark great series

[urmo345]

"Messalina with brains" LOL

[antoninus138]

He didn't do much to bring good govt to Rome. Nero the final Claudian but the next emperors were not a 'good lot' give or take - Domitianus, Commodus, Didius Julianus, Severus, Caracalla, Elagabalus, Maximinus thrax, Gallienus, Carinus, etc. They never managed to recover their system or make a successful new one.

[redbayly]

They mispronounced her name. Her name was Aggripina the Younger, not Aggripinilla.

[lilanma]

@redbayly Aggripinilla is another way to say Aggrippina the Younger, or Aggrippina Minor, as far as I know.

[lilanma]

Agrippinilla and Agrippina, sorry.

[mkervelegan]

If a venomous serpent could speak, as in a familiar biblical story, it would sound precisely like good ole Agrippinilla...I think I'll name a new coffee roast after her.

[marksparky22]

Thanks for uploaded all these mate.

[ClarinetMadeofSteele]

Those two men were such drama queens. "Narcissus! Our friendship is at an end!"

[marksparky22]

How come the are only 12 episodes but on wiki it says the are 13.

[zeusbark]

originally there were 13, but later on they merged the first episodes

[nolaughingmatter]

"It's Messalina all over again. Worse, a Messalina with brains. That's worse than all the German tribes combined!"

So many brilliant lines of wisdom!

[LCannon78]

Thank you very much. I studied Latin while I was in High School, and we watched this in class. That was 15 years ago! Thanks!!

[unspokenlies1321]

we are currently watching it in class.

Iclaudius is like the highlight of latin :]

[ANAMNEN20AR]

At 2:30. Nero playing with fire lol

[bellatrixareforkids]

How hilarious is Nero in the first few minutes of this episode? Oh my Lord I've rewound the part where he spins around the room about ten times.

[zeusbark]

It is the first part, it's just that it goes to the time of his death and then it goes back. That's how they made the episode

[iorixs]

im not sure that this is the first part

[zeusbark]

The intro is there. I just uploaded the file directly.
