The Last Day on the set
It was raining that day and the November wind whipped around our costumes. About fifty of us were ushered in to the throneroom and the scene was explained to us. It was part of Henry's final days. That morning we had done a scene by which we had surrounded the King drinking and making merry and in came a distressed Queen Catherine ( Joley Richardson) who had been advised that the King was contemplating her execution. She then gave her ' I am but a woman' speech and re-assured the King that she loved him and that she would never betray him. The King accepted this and when the Queen left we continued our merrymaking. Not easy to do and all I can say that is that cranberry juice is a poor substitute for red wine. Even the King was of this opinion and assured us all that should he ever really become King this would be changed. We blamed him anyway and the banter continued. Who says film stars don't have a sense of humour. Johnathon really enjoyed the craic.
The afternoon was taken with one of the final scenes. Bishop Gardiner requested an audience and when the king refused to see him he was asked to leave court. The Bishop (Siman Ward) was superb. The look of hurt and dissopointment on his face told everything. He is a superb actor. The final take came and the Director (as is the custom when any actor does their last scene) announced that this was the final scene for the extras. The actors gave us a standing ovation and after much best wishs we left Henry's Court for the final time. Back to reality but with countless memories of all the good times, of friendships and laughs and the knowledge that we had all played a part in one of the finest historical series ever produced. I left the studio with a tear in my eye that evening and later on raised a glass to all the superb actors who contributed. When you watch the last episode and you see Gardiner being refused entry I am the old councillor glaring at him as he turns and walks from court.

Open Questions & Disappointments
People will spend a good part of Monday gushing with belated love for this series. Once you're through with that, come here. If you have any quips, qualms, or questions about the finale, leave them here so your fellow Tudor fans can discuss and answer them for you. For me:
-What was up with Elizabeth stomping out of the room rudely after her father left? Grief or a bit of resentment?
-Kinda disappointed that our epilogue was only words on a screen restating facts we already knew. (Edward would die, Mary would be Bloody, Elizabeth would be great, etc.). They could have added some visual aids or even flash-forwards throughout the episode. I'm particularly interested in the Kate Parr and Tom Seymour affair. It's odd that they wouldn't mention that.
Other than that , I found the finale visually stimulating and satisfying. Thanks for commenting!

I can't believe it's over
I can truthfully say this is the first show I actually feel really sad about seeing it go. It was a very beautiful and emotional ending. Still, I crave to see more of this interesting dynasty.
What did everyone think about the wives coming back? I love how they just gave him hell. I will say it was wonderful to see Natalie as Anne again too.
At one point I was a little confused as to way when Henry was sending Kate, Mary, and Elizabeth away. Catherine and Mary were obviously emotional, but Elizabeth kept her composure quite well. I thought on it and maybe it's to show that what Anne's ghost said was true, that Elizabeth was like her perfected version (according to the King's standards). She tries to show little bad emotion as possible and held back her tears for her Father's sake. At least that's just how I think of it.

SPOILERS: Tudors Finale Review - Death of A Monarchy
Here is a review of the last episode, Death of A Monarchy, from Small Screen Scoop. I had promised myself not to read any spoilers but I can tell you that there is only one thing in it (maybe two) that we didn't know before, so it isn't to bad. I would advise though that if you want to be totally spoiler free, you might not want to read the article or the rest of the thread!

Ghost Gripes Finale: spoiler
Many of us have seen or heard about the upcoming episode where some of Henrys wives pay him a visit. Which Queen/Ghost has the most to be angry about? We know that he treated them badly but which do you think has the most to gripe about?
