I don't know if the show will go there or not, but if you believe 16th century gossip (and there was a lot of it on this matter) Henry was gay. His failure to beget an heir is what cleared the way for the Bourbons, after a nasty civil war.

Ah! We have our new Commander.

I have a bad feeling Octavia and Indra will have to face off against each other.

Re: It was Buffy and Spike all over again. I was repulsed then and i'm repulsed now.

Plot hole: Why didn't Major turn into red-eyed super-zombie when Natalie's keeper was beating on him? I was expecting that and puzzled when it didn't happen.

At first I didn't realize they were the same actress, back when Aida was still in her plucky 'bot, I'm-here-to-help phase. Now that we have evil Madam Hydra the resemblance is overwhelming.

Angel also benefited by being a spin-off of Buffy with the Buffyverse already established and three veteran characters from the show.

So Aida doesn't know what is happening in the Framework, and Ophelia is ignorant of anything happening outside it? No integration between the two entities? That would make sense given Project Looking Glass. It also raises the possibility (though it's not likely) that Aida and Ophelia could even become enemies.

Actually, seven people if you count Radcliffe and Agnes as well (she didn't have a terminal illness and he got to be with her)

Mary was permitted (by her brother, I think) to escape to England. She didn't have a boat so no way she could have gotten to France. She actually hoped Elizabeth would restore her to the throne, which I agree is pretty dumb, although Elizabeth actually wanted to do it since she did not much like the precedent of…

By odd synchronicity there's a pre-wedding pregnancy on the new Starz (sort of) historical drama "The White Princess". I watched the two shows back to back on Xfinity's play back since I had been out of town for Easter, and in correct chronological order. Compare and Contrast time: "Princess" has a much bigger budget…

And via a whole lot of improbably coincidences: a widowed queen falling in love with a servant; a 13 year old girl surviving a horrible childbirth; somehow escaping the chopping block during the War of the Roses; most of the male Yorks dying at just the right time.

She was a strong willed woman who played the game of thrones and won. Lots of men resented her a the time, and did not deal kindly with her memory after she was gone.

The bulk of what evidence there is, combined with basic sense, would still name Richard III as the culprit— though his wife is underappreciated as a possible murderess too (I mean, she may have given the order in Richard's name while he was touring the country). Margaret Beaufort had no access to the Tower at the…

A bit of a quibble, but drug addictions are not "purely physical". There's a major psychological component which explains why some people become addicts and others do not (many people drink; but only a minority become alcoholics). At some level of their mind addicts like their addiction and that, more so than…

Maybe, but there were things in the New World that were alien to the Europeans at first too. They drew fantastical pictures of them and told fantastical stories, but they were able to see them.

The question is though, why did Errinwright do those things— The scene with his son and the maybe-suicide note? Was there serious doubt in his mind that his plan would work, and a chance he might be the one who ended up dead?

I can see they'd have some sort of serious-business monster-destroyer rigged up in case one of the experiments goes really bad— the creatures they create are ultra-dangerous after all. But this one did seem a little out there technologically (super-heated plasma beam?) and having Holden know what it was also was a…

A doctor who performs gruesome experiments on children is evil at a level that should have had them all reeling from it (including Naomi whom we just found out had a child). How would any of us react to having such a person at our mercy? On the other hand letting the woman die was stupid since if she could have been…

She's suffering from PTSD and just being on Earth has thrown her too.
