s01e07 — Message to the Emperor

Suffolk too?!

Thomas More is such a pious sweetheart, he's already throwing up. And this is the man who was said to be torturing in the basement of his own house.

Moral of the series: lying with a man infected half the country.

A balm for pain in the penis? What kind of disease are they expecting?

I waited the whole episode for Henry to get sweaty now, too, but he was just buggy.
Thomas More is slowly becoming a fanatic(((

The most interesting thing is that this sweating, or English sweat, came with the Tudors and left with the Tudors...A coincidence?..

The historical realism to the series is, of course, minimal. Oh, those night royal underpants)))

Watching this episode in 2021 is especially atmospheric. Henry is in self-isolation, wearing a mask, and there's a pandemic all around (okay, not a pandemic, just an epidemic).

Katerina beautifully described the British how they puff up their cheeks at the slightest advantage, and despair at the first setback. I don't know how the authors tried to show the king at all, I see an inadequate, aggressive, limited character, completely devoid of greatness, and now also cowardly. And again, as in BP, the Spanish Princess, their majesties are not busy with anything but their personal lives all day, apparently someone else decides the affairs of the state. It's also amazing how little he and almost everyone there has in common with piety. He probably violated all the commandments and instructions, this anointed one.

What's up with 2021? It's kind of funny to watch this episode in 2023... like pfft))0))0) just think about some kind of pandemic... I've even forgotten(
