... by the way, due to end-of-year-school-stuff I missed the first episode of Empire, so I can't comment on it. I just noticed, however, that Julius Caesar is being played by Colm Feore, who also, interestingly/ironically enough also played the first Canadian dictator, Pierre Trudeau (note for non-Canucks and/or people not from western Canada ... it was under Trudeau that the process of concentrating power in the Prime Minister's Office and accomplishing things by Orders in Council (not requiring parliamentary approval) began. It reached its highest point under one of Trudeau's heirs, Jean Chretien and continues under our current PM, PM ...)
