Last night, when I packed up the Loesser for the night, I watched the season finale for THE TUDORS. Much as I like a lot of this series, and much as I was happy to hear it wll continue next season, I think very much that it's time the idiot producers stop trying to recreate softcore Cinemax At Night and start ageing the characters.
At some point Henry has to gain the avoirdupois which began with his leg keeping him from being so athletic. I really doubt the latest wife-to-be and he were cavorting so much in the nude for two reasons: he was becoming a fat pig and she was a teen-age idiot with a large libido who was too busy playing around with boys her own age, much as the men around her were setting her up to be queen.
And, I wonder, why is Ane of Cleves so pretty? Supposedly the Holbein made her look better than she was, so she must have been a dog who smelled really badly because Henry reported she smelled terrible and was so awful he couldn't consummate the marriage. We're talking about a historic period where no one washed for years! I doubt the word hygiene, the lack of which is why so may died in childbirth, was even a real word at that time. If Anne of Cleves stank and looked bad, you'd never know it from the series.
