I would love to meet either Charles Brandon(so much hotter in the show!) or Thomas Cromwell...Im weird and I like how he looks in his real life paintings, not just the show...Although Ive absolutly fallen in love with James Frain<as my name suggests> of course I wouldnt mind meeting Henry in a dark back ally either :P

"I think he would have settled with her and history as we know it (England directly) would have been alot different. Considering she was well loved by the English people at the time."

At the time of her death or when Henry married her, because pretty sure they didn't exactly love her when she married him. They were happy she had a son and was a tragic figure after she died in childbed fever. Wasn't there alot of propaganda going against her after Anne's last miscarriage with a song saying she was the cause of it. Sure she didn't have too many people liking her after that, and a good majority of the people came to like Anne esp. when they found her in the tower so that the King could marry again, it was just a shocking thing for him to do.

On the subject I don't actually know why it's a discussion. As long as Edward lived she was safe, even if there were no other children he wouldn't harm the mother of his son. She would be Queen for the rest of her life. Of course Henry would be tired of her, he was practically tired of her before she died. (As in he had mistresses whereas Anne held him for 7 years without one, KOA for 5 years and Katherine Howard's entire time as Queen). He would have had mistresses, possibly with her having more power then Jane. He might have legitamized more of his bastards as other Kings have done since he would have been sure they wouldn't rule. The only question was that if Edward died younger then he did (i.e. long before Henry died, maybe around 2-3) that if Jane hadn't concieved again then she would have been put aside.

I think the giggling was to drive home that point of how young she is. They are imo making her seem 15 instead of 17, but I think that is also another way to make Henry look older without doing much to JRM.

"There is something I have noticed. In watching Season 3, Episode 1...scene where Henry hits Thomas in the head and calls him a knave (did anyone hear that?" Thomas goes completely blank. It's almost like he's not even in there. I think, because I have been in the same position of having someone come after me, that you take yourself out of yourself, so that you're basically not there.

Thomas was really out of there and someplace else and when Henry ordered him to sit at the table and write, Thomas was almost catatonic. I felt so sorry for him. It obviously took him straight back to his father' violence. I think one of the main things that got Thomas murdered, was the fact that the nobles were so jealous of him. They couldn't stand Henry's favor of him. What did they have anyway; money, title, and a pedigree? Wat did they actually do to get that;..nothing? Thomas, on the other hand, was a self-made man. His family had no title, lands, or wealth. He worked hard to get where he was. The nobles at court couldn't stand it. Today, Thomas would be a well-respected man for being self-made, taught, etc.

I love "The Flight of the Secretary". More..More..more and some sizzling juicy sex with Alice.

And now I must go and see if I can somehow impress Sir Thomas to ask me to dance.

Most Sincerely,
LadyLil at court. "

Couldn't agree more - and it's thanks to the great acting ability of JF that these emotions can be seen

"im gonna miss catherine of aragon and anne boleyn i cryed when anne and catherine died and my mom was like "are you kidding me it isnt that sad" i went off on her....i miss......... Margret(henry's sister) she was a good one."

Don't worry, I bailed when Katherine died and I cried the last two Ep's. All of the last one for sure!

I like Margaret, but it just bothered me that they, the writers, collaborated Mary and Margaret. It just didn't make sense to me.

Based on the discussion we're having about Norfolk on another thread, if he isn't portrayed in season 3, with all of the Catherine Howard intrigue, that will be a shame.

I never said she imposed her French ways on anybody, but she had them. And people, those around her, could easily be turned off by this woman who was raised in France but is supposed to now be a Scottish Queen. I never said she was trying to impose anything.
