lizbee: A sketch of myself (Default)
[personal profile] lizbee

Okay, you all fail for not telling me that Sam Neill and Jeremy Northam were in The Tudors.  I love Jeremy Northam!  He's so handsome and dry and did I mention handsome?  Also, Sam Neill!  As Cardinal Wolsey!  Hanging around in the shadows and pursuing his own agenda and leaving behind an architectural/artistic legacy after his schemes fall apart!

Fine, so I wanted to watch it because there are so many vaguely Tudorish elements in Gallifreyan costume, and then I found myself looking at hi-res publicity pics from The Tudors and it was all so pretty, and then I realised that the series opens with Sean Pertwee being murdered -- I can't say that I didn't pick it up for purely nerdish reasons.  And I'm going to keep watching for purely nerdish reasons.  (Because I'm sure as hell not watching for the accurate depiction of historical events!)  But it's sort of fabulous in its own right, even though I hate Henry VIII and his many upholstery-based costumes.

The point is that I love Sam Neill, and his Wolsey is a scheming schemer who schemes quite a bit.  And I love Jeremy Northam even more, and there's a scene where he takes his shirt off and prays in Latin.  Shallow and easily satisfied?  Moi?  Um, yes please!
