I am still watching. The "Red" queen scene was pretty cool, and I keep thinking Maggie B is the best thing about the show. I keep wanting to peek Wikipedia to refresh my memory what happens to these folks, but I am gonna hold off for now.

Oh hear, hear! I adore Richard. Yummy . But I am with you, Cary. I was bawling like a baby when Au Jus broke down over losing her son

I can not watch this now without thinking of the thrones dynamics... anyhoo , good show tonight , did not like the George's treason reveal scene but I liked the drowning in the vat of wine ... or is it just that that would be my choice of death ... H aha I love Richard and Ann .. and I love how they are not demonizing Richard ala Tudor spin Dr. Shakespear. Margaret is actually my fav character aside Richard and Ann. There's something about her ... and knowing she was married at 12 and gave birth at 13 makes me sympathize a whole lot with her.. that's not mentioned in the show btw just watched some relevant history programmes lately . I can't wait for next weeks .. I know ! at the start we all hated it ... but I love it now!
Like Ann and Richard too, SisY. I've always liked the show, just feel that the magic stuff is superstitious beliefs and/or drama, don't feel Elizabeth was actually a witch or her mother for that matter. How many more do we have for this season? Hate when seasons are over .

Indeed this was a good episode, betrayals, witchcraft accusations and deaths (barrel of wine? Robert could probably drank his way out!) and Margaret is also my fave character...she is such a joy to watch.

Okay, Elizabeth is up to her old curses again. And it looks like Lizzy inherited the witchy gift. Smart girl. Mommy's gonna put her on the throne when the two boys are used up.
And what's with the fake Prince Richard? I was not expecting that! I've stopped looking at Wikipedia because I wanted to be surprised by the minute details, but I don't remember a fake Prince Richard. I just know what happens to the boys in the tower!

The series' weak point is its huge leaps in time, characters you barely knew suddenly become important. Tiny kids an episode ago are now adults with their own plots. The shoddy writing aint helping much keeping it all straight.

Seen as this is based on a book , having not read said book I don't know where the author went with the story line of the princes , but popular thinking is now that it was Henry's Mommy , as she had access to the boys and Richard is all ready king and has discredited the sons so has no need to bump them off ... any hoo we'll see..
Okay, being silly, I looked up something on Wikipedia. Jasper Tudor was married to Catherine Woodville, Elizabeth's younger sister and Jacquetta's youngest daughter. It seems that the Rivers house and the Tudor house were already more closely aligned than in the movie.
Why is this not mentioned? OH MY GOD.
EDIT: Oops, never mind. It hasn't happened yet. SPOILERS.

Since this is premiering on STARZ this Saturday, here in the US, I'm fascinated all of the sudden to see my Facebook feed light up with posts about it. My guilty pleasure that I've already seen everything.
Oh well, this happens with Downton Abbey every year too.

It is kinda hilarious how no one knows what happens to the princes. I think it is kinda lame that the author doesn't want to give any historical character the blame for the murder of the two boys.
But I guess since it remains a bit of a mystery in real life I give her a pass.
Again with the rain magic, gimme a break.

and we're done ... I shall miss Richards broody face ... can't wait to see him in other things , Also I am glad they didn't go in to detail of what they did with Richard's body after the battle , not pleasant.

What's next for me to get addicted to?
Thank the they did not show that . Yes, when is Downton coming again? Well, all in all, I enjoyed the series, although it was frustrating at times. And yes Lord Storm, what? The rain curse again?

Sorry Macha I should of said !!! Barnard Castle , it's about an hours drive south to me .. I'm hoping to visit the one he grew up with Anne in , which is also a ruin , but much, much bigger. Middleham .
Barnard Castle the town is stunning, every house on the main street is different architecturally and time wise .. so fascinating. It's like a historians wet dream ! Ha ha! Great day was had, the Badger and I .
I'm so Dumb! I thought it was a made up story set in that time period . But she was an actual person and her sons are the ones who end up in the tower never to be heard of again ! Silly me .... I'm on it now tho'.
Welcome, Lady Klara! So glad you are following White Queen Yep, the lost princes in the tower, true mystery.
