The Tudors 100 Reasons to Watch - The Tudors Wiki Username:Darkladywitch11

Favorite character:Thomas More and Catherine of Aragon
second: Anne Boleyn
Lesson learned: A king is not a king when he is dominated by lust rather then reason.
We are all human and even saintly men like 'st.' Thomas More have their dark and dangerous black side. We all do what we can, there is no villains or heroes but humans who were manipulated by extreme reason of lust, money or power or ambition to take somebody else's crown, wealth or position. Even Catherine is not an exemption to this, like Anne and Henry cardinal she believes her will to be ultimate and right.

Reason to watch: There is no villains or heroes here, if you want a villain here then the only one might be Henry and even he is portrayed here as a person with conflicts both inner and outer, here all are not exempt from good and bad dark qualities.
Enjoy it, show superb, acting ok, no! even better then ok, nice, and very exalted in all. You truly believe they are who they are.

I'm fixated on: Thomas More, the actor is so handsome!
Charles Brandon
Duke of Norfolk.

The Tudors 100 Reasons to Watch - The Tudors Wiki Username: angelosdaughter

Favorite character(s): Katharine of Aragon, John Fisher, Thomas More
Lesson learned: Some things are worth standing up for even if the price is your life

Reason to watch: Seeing the besieged Katharine of Aragon defy Henry, John Fisher follow his conscience, and Thomas More wrestle with his. In the end his conscience triumphs.

I'm fixated on: What an incredibly tyrannical megalomaniac Henry was. He didn't just mistreat his wives, but also his daughters, and Elizabeth at least, was not defying him.She was guilty of nothing more than being her mother's daughter, and becoming an inconvenience once her mother was disposed of. I can't imagine what any woman would find attractive unless she was in love with power, and even as his queen, every one of his wives was at the mercy of his whims and his insane quest for a male heir. He was no bargain and it is well to remember that the real Henry looked nothing like Jonathan Rhys Myers.

You've read about them, you've heard about them, and now they come to life before your very eyes.....the Tudors and the court of Henry the VIII.

Favorite character: Charles Brandon
Lesson learned: When the sun went down so did the Tudors.

MadameDeMerteuilUsername: MadameDeMerteuil

Favorite character: All of them
Lesson learned: Passions and Power make a dangerous mix

Reason to watch: After seeing a couple of photos from the show, I thought I wouldn't like it: too many historical inaccuracies, starting with the fact that Henry VIII is not even portrayed with his trademark red hair. However, Once I started watching, I got hooked:despite the regrettable inaccuracies, the characterisation is amazing and the actors carry their roles so well. JRM is an excellent Henry (I still want to see him with red hair) and Natalie Dormer is superb as Anne Boleyn. The rest of the cast are just fabulous: Peter O'Toole, Sam Neil, Jeremy Northam, Henry Cavill, etc, they're all brilliant!This is the sort of show that will spark an interest in those who considered History boring when they were at school. It's got the human depth, the drama, the glam, the rhythm to get you hooked on Tudor history.

I'm fixated on:The character's complexities.

Lesson learned: Bros before hoes because Henry had Thomas More executed and in the end regretted it completely letting Anne (even though Anne wasn't a *****) take the fall for it.

Reason to watch: Jonathan Rhys Meyer's Charm, Jeremey Northam's way of bringing Thomas More's Spirit to life, The way i thought Maria Doyle Kennedy was actually Spanish when she was really Irish and of course Natalie Dormer's Charisma on the show.

Reason to watch:the passion , the hatred ,and all the thrills and spills in the programme.Oh and Henry going a bit loopy and angry - always good to watch.

Favorite character: Catherine Howard

Lesson learned: No, The Tudors is NOT historically accurate...but is that the point of watching it? Besides, pointing out the places they fudged history is part of the fun!

Reason to watch: There is some history here, and it's a brilliant and beautiful world that they have created for Henry and his unfortunate wives to inhabit. Plus, what could be better than watching a whole bunch of beautiful people lounging around wearing devine Tudoresque clothing?

I'm fixated on: How they will portray the naive Catherine Howard: a dim-witted slut? A young girl abused by men and pushed into marriage with an overage, overweight king? Or - I hope - something a little bit in between the extremes...Either way, I'm sure I'll enjoy watching.

75


Username: criisis

Favorite character:Thomas Cranman, Anne Boleyn
Lesson learned: The fact that even a great man persists in the same mistakes! It's curios that The King solved every issue, political or not, with death. But for sure it's far more easy to kill a person that to let him have a opinion that you don't agree with!


Reason to watch: The involution of Henry, he becomes more and more full of himself, and that leads to tragedy!

I'm fixated on: Fidelity is only a word, uncoated... then and now...

Favorite character: anne boleyn of course
Lesson learned: there are always consequences for people's actions... but sometimes those consequences are worth it.

Reason to watch: the tudors has it all: it's sexy, great cast who act well, beautiful costumes, suspense, and it has a way of evoking a rollercoaster of emotions.

I'm fixated on: british history... and for season 3 to begin.
81

Username: King Henry VIII

The Tudors 100 Reasons to Watch - The Tudors Wiki

Favorite character
: Certainly myself.
Lesson learned: I should have written a play for the future when I was alive, to increase the amount of inaccuracies that is now shown on the series. Most disturbing.

Reason to watch: Seeing how the creators change history without feeling guilty and making viewers believe this ********. *raises an eyebrow and shrugs* I want to see my dear Elizabeth grow up.

I'm fixated on: Mistakes.

Username: theothertudorgirl
Cousins & Consorts: Anne Boleyn & Katherine Howard
Favorite characters: Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Princess Mary, Princess Elizabeth, Charles Brandon, Katherine Howard, Anne Of Cleves (Actually I love every character, I could really name them all)
Lesson learned: That historical fiction is not always correct but it does make for good entertainment! (except for anyone who watches the show with me, they have to put up with me telling them all the faults)

Reason to watch: The costumes are definately a plus aswell as all of the supurb acting. Also watching the downfall and rise of each Queen makes for great entertainment.

I'm fixated on: if they are going to have five seasons!?!? How could they include Lady Jane Grey or Mary, Queen Of Scots? It would be interesting on how they are going to explain that one.
85

Username: mheanue

Favorite characters: All of them are absolutely wonderful! Casting is outstanding! I do find that Henry VIII and Charles Brandon are extremely easy on the eyes, which makes them easy favorites! Anne Boleyn has been brilliantly portrayed by Natalie Dormer. No one could have done better!
Lesson learned: Keep your own counsel. As far as the series goes, I know that some of it is historically inaccurate but I am okay with that because the show is also supposed to be entertaining, not a documentary!

Reason to watch: The writing, the costumes, and the acting!

I'm fixated on: how far the series will go. Will it continue up to Henry's death and stop there or will it go into the short reigns of Edward VI, Queen Jane, and Queen Mary and on to the crowning of Queen Elizabeth I? It would be awesome if the fan base supported that and Showtime did it!
86

Username: URoberts

Favorite characters: Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII.
Lesson learned: if only European history were presented like this in high school . . . despite the historical inaccuracies! These people are off the chain!

Reason to watch: the costumes, particularly Anne's dresses! Natalie Dormer did an outstanding job in her portrayal of the queen. The cast and acting has been superb throughout!

I'm fixated on: if we get through all six wives, Henry VIII's death, and the rest of the monarchy that follows. If not, Showtime should think about hopping across the Channel and starting with Louis XIV in France . . .
87

Username: Chalkidiki

Favorite characters: Wolsey, Cromwell, Mrs. Cranmer
Lesson learned: If you're going to the scaffold anyway, you might as well look fabulous.

Reason to watch: for interesting new interpretations on historical characters (like Cromwell, Lady Mary, Jane Seymour) that previously I didn't give much thought to.

I'm fixated on: the jewels.

Favorite characters: Herny VIII, Anne Boleyn, Mark Smeaton
Lesson learned: Wear armor around your neck!

Reason to watch: To watch Henry VIII go through so many changes... from passionate and romantic to a totally psychotic tyrant with no conscience or regret. It's quite intriguing to see his mood swings.

Username: Taminar

Presto Lindsey

Favorite characters: Charles Brandon, Sir Thomas More
Lesson learned: Sometimes you have to be flexible if you want to keep your head. Richard Rich is flexible and did very well for himself (at the expense of others). Sir Thomas More was inflexible and got himself cropped at the neck (and became a saint).

Reason to watch: Beautiful sets and costumes, wonderful acting, and the chance to learn a little about history (though in some cases, you have to be willing to research on your own to find out what really happened and when).

I'm fixated on: The beautiful clothes and jewelry depicted in the show and in separating the fact from the "dramatic license."
95 Username: wandev

Favorite characters: Sir Tomas More, HRH Henry VIII
Lesson learned: It is possible to take great liberties with history and still produce a wonderful TV show!

Reason to watch: Absolutely *love* anything Tudor, plus I really love the depictions of the wives.

I'm fixated on: Henry not changing physically as he ages as he did in real life. Just can't ignore that, no matter how hard I try. By the time he gets to Anne of Cleaves, there are many physical changes that just arean't there wtih JRM.
96 Username: Theoneoffuzz

Favorite characters: King Henry and Anne Boleyn.
Lesson learned: If the King knew his own power, no one could contain him.

Reason to watch: To see the growth of Henry from the youth he was when he gained the throne, obsessed with pomp and glory and now watching him transform into the paranoid, heir obsessed man he is most notorious for.

I'm fixated on: Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Username: JRMSLADY09

Favorite characters:Henry VIII, Charles Brandon, Anne Boleyn, & Jane Seymour
Lesson learned: If you got bored you could often easily find an activity to kill your bordemn. "These people had an awful lot of sex, more sex than we have today, Once the sun goes down there's very little to do in the Tudor kingdom. There were no TV's,no I Pod's, no nightclubs,no motor cars,no bowling alleys,so you either read, talk, laugh drink,sing -or shag the devil out of each other!" - JRM

Reason to watch: Great storylines,the hot sex, and of course JRM!!!!!

I'm fixated on:JRM & Tudor History
