The Tudors

Post by Enigma »

Has anyone watched this show. I know the second season starts on the 30th but I was wondering what the people here think of the show. Personally, I love it. I haven't been able to watch every episode of the first season but I am soon going to get them on DVD.

What are your opinions on the show?

I think it's pretty good. It's been hard to watch all the episodes of the first season on CBC, just been too busy, but I'll be catching up after finals for sure.

The SCA ladies have been talking non-stop about the dresses.

Yeah I watched S1 and enjoyed it. I particularly liked Anne Bolyne who was fucking hot.

Well... currently it's the Gable Headdress v/s the French Style. Katerine wore the Gable Headdress, while Anne was raised in France and refused to wear the English headdress. She made the looser, less confining French Style popular in court, up until it became associated with her 'loose and lavicious ways' as she was put on trial for her crimes. The next wife, Jane Seymour, went back to the traditional Gable headdress again.

I actually saw the DVD in Target the other day and it piqued my curiosity, but not enough to buy it on a whim. I might just go against my better judgment and buy it anyways.
"Frank Deford and Jim Rome both lean hard left on almost all social issues, but they openly loathe the proliferation of soccer. And that position is important: For all practical purposes, soccer is the sports equivalent of abortion; in America, hating (or embracing) soccer is the core litmus test for where you exist on the jocko-political continuum."

Do not care for this show. I watched the first season as it was run and it just really wants to be Rome.

But it's not Rome.

It cannot be Rome.

Because it has shit actors. The guy who plays Henry has the gravitas of a fucking fruit fly. The rest of the cast is either forgettable or just kind of "there". Except for Sam Neill. The acting was made all the more pathetic when he was on screen because he blew the rest of them away.

Unfortunately he won't be in any future episodes. So I likely won't be watching.
