** As much of a TearJerker as it is, there's something darkly hilarious about the abruptness of Theodora's death:

-->'''The doctor:''' it's a tumor. a big one
-->''cut to Theodora with Xs over her eyes''
** And, immediately thereafter, this blink-and-you'll-miss-it background exchange between Justinian and Belisarius:
-->'''Justinian:''' May our deep friendship and unequivocal trust in each other never go into doubt in the future
-->'''Belisarius:''' Don't worry, I'm sure Procopius was truthful[[note]] aside from what's written in Procopius's Secret History, there's also an untrue but oft-repeated legend that Belisarius was blinded and cast out of Justinian's court, then reduced to the status of a beggar. So to say that his and Justinian's friendship would be cast into doubt in the future would be an understatement, even though most of the myths about it are either exaggerated or not based in reality.[[/note]]
