StoryLine:

WELL. I grossly overestimated the amount of time this series would cover, and now we must have a season two, or the next Tudor monarch will remain forever a mystery. How could we possibly know who it will be? Our curiosity can only be sated by a renewal and definitely not by looking up who it is on the internet.Becoming Elizabeth Season 1 Download

It’s been two months since we last saw him, and Edward is not only ill but deathly ill. He likely has tuberculosis, which wasn’t easily conquered in the sixteenth century, and everyone at court assumes his death is imminent. Lord Protector Dudley, now in a very “oh shit” mentality, sends for Mary, hoping this will lessen her desire to kill him when she becomes queen. When Mary arrives, people are very excited because Mary was historically very popular (until the whole burning people thing). She had had a hard life and was the daughter of Henry’s most beloved-by-the-people queen, and it’s not like all of England had suddenly become super-Protestant when Henry chucked out the pope.Let’s take a moment to talk about ermine. Do I like that people killed little ermines to make clothes out of them? No. But since they did it anyway, can I just say, wow.

Mary looks amazing in her extremely fancy, ermine-edged dress. Elizabeth also wears ermine this episode, and just wow. Totally get it. I would not do it, but I get it.This is another moment in historical drama where I am thrilled they threw history in the trash and did their own thing. Mary did not see Edward when he was dying, just like Elizabeth never met Mary, Queen of Scots, but it’s so much more interesting if they did. These figures loom large in history, and I want them to interact dramatically, cry, and throw good put-downs at each other. When Dudley greets Mary, she asks him for three things: release Bishop Gardiner from the Tower, let her have a Catholic service with her priest, and, lastly, get out of her fucking way. Mary!!! She remains iconique in this series. This is the most redemption done for a historical figure since Hamilton.
