Thank you 😊, hey if anyone wants to use this to do fanfiction, I'm okay with that.
* Yes, I was thinking about if they had talked about having kids, especially since it looks like Guildford didn't pull out. Maybe Jane made a Plan B tea or something. Still, I'm thinking that's an epilogue scene where Jane is in labor and barking out orders, Guildford is on his way, everything is in chaos, he goes horse to get to his house faster, kicked down the doors and be at his wife's side and they have their baby.
* Yes, I want Edward and Fitz to get some turmoil going on because they're still in the honeymoon period of the relationship. And Edward is still king, a king that ultimately has no throne, but still a king. And kings have to make hard decisions and make alliances. Also, it turns out that Mary Stuart of Scotland has her own book My Contrary Mary, about her and her own doomed husband Francis - and you know what the books and show says about history and doomed figures...
Basically I'm thinking of a twist (that's not mine, I haven't read the book but I heard things), where Francis is also alive. So I'm thinking chaos but Edward and Mary agree to a non marital alliance.
* Katherine and William eloping was so cute, and I do wonder if they'll meet up and help Jane or Guildford or if William has a safehouse where him and Katherine could stay because he knows that his dad is not someone to be messed with.
* I also enjoy Cooper as a villain. I'm thinking he won't go full redemption but a guy who will try to save his own skin as well as keep his own family safe. Plus, he's a bitter ex.
I am not sure which Seymour he's based on, but I think Lord Seymour is Thomas Seymour, Jane Seymour's brother, and Edward's uncle. He was a scheming opportunistic bastard who groomed Elizabeth as a 13 year old, married Catherine Parr and was trying to control Edward. He was later executed. It looks like they ditched the pedophilia, which I'm more than glad by, but kept the scheming.
Also Catherine Parr is the wife who survived King Henry, but she died after giving birth to a little girl. So where's Catherine Parr's daughter, who's also Lord Seymour's daughter and William's half-sister?
* Oh Tudor history is wild. Mary was Elizabeth's lady in waiting, after years of exile by Henry (worst husband and father), but she did get along with her sister but hated the fact that Elizabeth was Protestant and not a good Catholic like her. I think she was also Jane Grey's godmother?
Anyway, Real Life Mary did marry Phillip, but she got cancer and died. This was especially heartbreaking for her because she thought the tumor in her abdomen was a pregnancy. She always wanted kids. The moniker Bloody Mary did originate from the fact that she executed "heretics" and "traitors to the crown." But at the start of her reign, she had a lot of support because people still loved her mom, were sympathetic to her and wanted her to succeed. Then she married Phillip instead of another much more appropriate guy, and then a famine occurred and then there were no heirs and the executions happened. Her time as queen wasn't great.
I don't know what's going to happen to MLJ Mary Tudor, but we'll see. I just like the idea that even though she is That, once upon a time she was Bess' big sister who loved her. Where did all go wrong? Psst... It's Henry. Henry was the start of darkness.
* I don't know what Granny Margaret and her nuns have in mind but yeah, it looks like it's bloody and not good. Another extremist to match Mary. Which is fitting because she is the oldest Tudor matriarch.
* Yes, an Ethian army inside the castle and they rise up and storm out. Alice leading and seeing her brother Fitz!
Of course, there's the logistics: they would have to find a way to plot it out. Maybe alice uses the key to get in and out, spy around the castle as a cat and ultimately find a way to take the castle from the inside?
* The Francis and Stan thing was mainly a joke, but I do like the idea that he helps the Greys out and bonds with little Margaret. Maybe they'll ultimately decide that a long term relationship isn't in their future - it's not what Francis wants, and yes, she really needs to be a better mother because while she does love her kids and will do anything to protect them, her actions and words hurt them and pushes them away. She has to understand that.
I'm thinking Lord Dudley will also have to learn this, though he kind of fast tracked his way a bit after him and Stan doing the rescue.
* Yes, Jane is naturally curious and she learned how much they know about Ethians are utter BS and wants the truth of the matter. No more lies or stereotypes.
