I think there's only one or two episodes left. The only "exciting" part of Catherine Parr is that, by 21, she was already widowed twice, was almost engaged to Thomas Seymour, but had to marry the King, whether she liked it or not. Then, she almost was executed for having (gasp!) Lutheran leanings.

Of course, they could have a field day with the siblings (and cousin) fighting for the Crown.

I think they did a decent job with the executions, but it had never occurred to me before that (spoiler) people would throw up or wet their pants. (/spoiler)

I also didn't think that Katherine Howard would be barefoot. Has anyone noticed that every woman who was executed had the same type of cap? I wonder if every woman had those, or if they just kept a few on hand for beheadings?


ETA: I can't wait to see Joely Richardson play Catherine Parr, either. I think she's underrated as an actress. And maybe if enough people let Showtime know, there will be a "The Tudors, the Second Generation"!
