Oh wow. That was intense. I loved Theodora's speech and the way you delivered it. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Farzad Mansouri

Damn, I'd would have given a speech during those pleas of mercy.

Jason Youngberg

Makes me wonder what would happen if he initially said, "If you behave yourselves after tonight's races, I'll pardon them." It would have sent the message and put the fate of the ringleaders in the hands of their supporters.

I was looking forward to this scene with Theodora. So epic!

Matthew Richman

Top notch presentation as always. Did not see that ending coming.

Dan is nailing with the narration lately. I guess if you spend 5 years voicing over videos you do start to get pretty good at it!

Considering that he accepted their demands up front, agreeing to release them (after the crowd got scary enough), and the crowd still rioted, I'm not sure that an appeal to logic would have gotten Justinian out of that one.

But that was after the rioting and after the leaders were manipulated by the nobility. I'm talking about when the cries for mercy first came up before the crowd got scary.

And it would never have happened if it weren't for Theodora speaking up when she did!

I don't think the crowd was very much in a mind to listen to a speech... even a great one.

Ah! Possibly. It is one of those moments where (to me) it seems like he got a little "deer in headlights," perhaps hoping that if he ignored the pleas they would go away.
