YOU GO RODRIGO AND YOUR CARDINAL PWNING SELF. I don't give a damn about historical inaccuracies: this show is AWESOME. And the clothes are quite amazing. And the people are so clean. I suspect the people of those days weren't quite so clean, but I DON'T CARE. This is like The Tudors, without me hating most of the main characters.

ETA: I am a little disturbed that all the ads on this seem to be for arthritis medicine or depends. SENIORS OF CANADA HAVE YOU NO SHAME? MUST YOU WATCH PAPAL ORGIES INSTEAD OF MATLOCK?

ETA 2: So I am watching the finale of Vampire Diaries (a show I haven't seen in ages) and Ben 'Peels no grapes' Hur is apparently an EVIL VAMPIRE-WEREWOLF. Oh Ben-Hur, what happened? Also, who has Gone with the Wind events in these days? Why not toss in a slave auction there and get it over with?

I just want to say that I am so happy you're posting again after your brief hiatus.

Even if all I post is about is Billie Piper's hair? :)

Absolutely. Orgies??? In this episode?? I must watch ASAP.

Sadly, no orgies. But I bet Canada's seniors are watching in the hopes of seeing one. SHAMEFUL.

Sadly, that...really is about the show's level of racial awareness and history. Any time they aren't sure it isn't whitewashed enough, they just make sure there aren't and POC around to make you question things.

It's been ages since I've seen this show, but for some reason I thought they were in the North of America and fighting on the Union side. Shows how much attention I paid to the flashbacks.
