I have to confess: I didn't pay 100% close attention to this episode because I had some things that needed to be done. Nonetheless......
1.) awww Hans. He's so cute :) and Cromwell can shove it because how can any women say no to Hans? It'd be a crime against the female race to allow him not to marry.
2.) Thomas More, my affection for you bursts with every episode. I choke up every time I see the preview of his execution.
3.) I'm a tad annoyed with Brandon because he seems a little hypocritical but I'm glad he's grown up. Fight the power, Charles, fight the power.
4.) Don't you just love how Hirst ties in the spear with the service Anne provides Henry with? I laughed so hard. I might just start counting all the phallic images/references he makes.
5.) Duuuuuuude Wyatt can seduce me with words anytime (although that poem pretty much blew but whatever. It's the thought that counts). I wouldn't have gone the route of that Elizabeth chick though. Where's your self-respect? And really, in the woods? Usually I can deal with how ridiculous Hirst can be but seriously, that's just way too over-the-top. Now that I think about it, he seems to find woodsy settings very erotic. Ew.
6.) Props to the random monk/friar. I love it when people publicly criticize Henry (although it really doesn't matter where as long as it's done).
7.) Um, where's Peter O' Toole?
8.) I propose a spinoff starring Smeaton and Mary Boleyn. It'd be like Sex and the City set during the Tudor dynasty.
