When the Queen passes away, and especially if her grandson becomes king soon, I think we are going to see this play out very much. It is not just that guys maybe are not suited to smiling and having no opinion, but as this show has shown with Philip and Charles, they DONT WANT TO DO THAT. They want to do things and I…

Oh totally agree. But she was very pretty for the british royal set, especially for at the time. But she cannot be compared to supermodels. But I also think it is almost ridiculous when people put down people’s looks when they get older, even with men I remember people snarking on Schwarzenegger when someone took a…

I think the reason why the movie was not liked was because it was seen as a “Megan Fox is hot” vehicle and was never really appreciated as anything but that at the time. I can say I was one of the ones perplexed when I first saw it, specifically for the reasons this essay points out. I did not get the whole…

Yes, this whole season and this episode I am sure was all centered around the “fist pump” everyone would give when the Queen smacked down her childish son. I cannot believe they just flew through like 11 years in ten episodes, and the bulk of those years in just two episodes. They barely even acknowledge the other…

Yep, you nailed what this whole season was trying to say. When you marry a beautiful younger woman, she of course is going to get all the attention. That is the entire point and if you want the attention, you do not marry someone that beautiful and younger than you. If Charles had any sense, he would have went along…

I think they did explain it. Diana (obviously wrongfully) thought Charles’ problem with the “Uptown Girl” performance was that it was PUBLIC and she was upstaging him. SO if she did another one that was private and meant only for him, he should have loved it. She was performing only for him and is not some singing…

Well, I believe the show did show its take on why that was. She thought she was getting a fairy tale princess life, which someone her age probably would think. Most people who do good not named Mother Teresa usually can be both philanthropic and like the attention and accolades too. Charles called and wooed her. She…

Oh, the show has always received some. It is a drama after all. I think the big difference is time. The further in the past something is that is portrayed, I think the more forgiving it is. The Kennedys have been dead a long time. I think most people shrugged off earlier inaccuracies because most people alive did not…

I can see that point, but I do think it was portrayed as he was just being mean again, as they showed him and his sister making fun of her after.  I think most women (especially) would think if they did a video of them performing with the understanding that it was private and for  her husband, most husbands (in a…

I agree. The older a historical incident is, the more I think it is forgivable if they take a lot of license with it. At least it might get someone interested. When it comes to recent history, I do not like it when I find out it is inaccurate or biased to a degree where it appears they made up something to fit a…

I have read some theories that the Queen has hung on so long because she does not want Charles to be king. Like it is a reason to keep living. It seems of course biologically impossible (you cannot stop random heart attacks or strokes) , but I have seen many instances where famous people have lived long lives while…

I did not know that and that is pretty scary. That is the problematic thing about shows like this, is that people can see them as documentaries instead of fiction. Especially since so much time has gone by I would just assume there would be no reason to lie.  As someone else said, they should put a card at the end as…

Yeah, that fight in the playground was the worst staged punch I have seen since I saw studio wrestling live. I am no director, but dude, if someone sucks that badly at acting in a fight, shoot the punch from behind.  That was the take they went with?

yeah they are superfired.

I cannot see studios doing any kind of big budget films at all for the next two years. ( development takes time). The fact they are dumping Wonder Woman on HBO Max where they are basically writing off a 200 million dollar investment says it all. If they know no one will go see Wonder Woman for the foreseeable future,…

This point actually is an argument for ending long reigned kings and Queens like Elizabeth. If this story is even remotely true (I have real doubts), the fact that the Windsor’s are still so traumatized by an act that happened over fifty years ago to them is a great argument why you need new leaders every four years…

Yep, that was what I was referring to. And I agree that this season has really surprised me at how one sided they have made this after so much time. You can practically hear “candle in the wind” in the background of every scene Diana is in. They really went all in on making Diana an angel. Combine this with some…

exactly this! I really thought when watching this episode they were really bashing Charles. What guy berates his wife for putting a performance on in his honor? Any woman in a good marriage would think her husband should be overjoyed he has a woman that would do that for him. It is kind of the reason a high class guy…

I keep pulling for network shows like this because they should take more chances and  I miss the days of “Lost” where everyone could talk about an event show.  But ever since “Lost’ the networks have wiffed almost everytime on high concept shows not named “The Good Place”.  This show started promising, but really went…

It is funny reading all the British reactions to this, for the first time repeatedly calling this an “American” show despite the British cast. Man, they might all have to move with the howling this season is getting. Remarkably, it is the British who loved Diana whom seem to be tired over this constant Charles…
