Aloha from Kaua'i!

"Being historically accurate isn't the point of the show." -- - I think this sums the ideology of this show up perfectly!  Truer words were never spoken!   ;D

And here is another one from the NYT, but not the one I read in the actual paper: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/28/arts/television/28tudo.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/B/Bellafante,%20Ginia

Thanks for posting the article! :) I enjoyed it very much.

Just another thing that really shits me about the people who complain about the inaccuracies. WHO CARES what eye or hair colour they have? So Katherine has dark hair, Henry has brown hair, or whatever when they really has brown hair streak purple with yellow dotes.

Stop complaining please. I'm sure that the producers and casting directors know that Henry really had ranger hair. They make no claim that the show is some kind of documentary depicting the events as though they are being filmed or whatever. They cast actors for their skill NOT their hair colour. I don't imagine any other actress no matter what her hair colour was could depict the Katherine nearly as well as Maria Doyle Kennedy does. Have you seen that woman act?


Sorry, I just wanted to say that. I've been watching this show a lot lately. Sure it has it's faults, but the hair colour of the actors is not one of them.


I also really loved the Thomas Tallis sub-plot of the show. He and his lover (can't remember his name right now) were so cute. A lot of people don't like them, but I think those side plots make the show much more compelling, instead of focusing just on the divorce plot. It gave a sense of a bigger world than just the main characters. It's called The Tudors after all, not Henry and Anne.

" A real HBO misfire in JOHN ADAMS, March 18, 2008
By    KerrLines ""Movies,Music,Theatre"" (Baltimore,MD) - See all my reviews
HBO should have really taken a long look at SHOWTIME'S The Tudors - The Complete First Season before they released this really dull 7-part miniseries on John Adams."

This may be my favorite review of all time. Why, oh, why didn't HBO screen The Tudors for tips? Instead of Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, we could have had John and Abigail played by Chris Evans and Pamela Anderson? Adams could have been depicted as poisoning George Washington to seize the Presidency for himself, embittered by Abigail's torrid affair with Jefferson (Keanu Reeves).

Oh, the missed opportunities!

Why am I not surprised? ....    Next year, The Tudors just HAS to win several Golden Globe Awards!

I think this should do it. My particular favorite is Queen Victoria. Don't drink coffee while it plays, though. I learned the hard way.

The Tudors has been renewed for a third season.  At this rate, we'll be seeing a fat, balding JRM soon!

Oh I doubt it. It looks to me like 'aging' JRM only includes making him have a goatee, they're not going to make him ugly. Which personally, is fine with me :p
