More Season 2 of the Tudors, in which More gets it.....

[sherrilina]

Since I never finished posting my Tudors season 2 episode commentaries/reactions, here's mine for episode 2.05--one of the best episodes of the season, a definite high point, in which we sadly say goodbye to Jeremy Northam/Sir Thomas More for good (he will be missed next season!).  This is also the episode in which the almost slashy H/M-ness began

That blood over the crucifix imagery was very very overdone.

Ah! We get it Tudors! Stop beating us with the message!

But yeah - Jeremy Northam is awesome. It's too bad his character had to die due to ... history. Damn you, history!

Meh, while I agree it was overdone (I definitely rolled my eyes at first), I actually kind of liked it, especially as a final image--and especially since that same cross is then used as a focal point in Henry's slashy angsting in the next epp! ;)

And while I didn't always enjoy Northam's interpretation of More (though I think it was probably also due in large part to the writers), and while I don't think he could ever compare to Paul Scofield, I agree that Northam is awesome, and I was very sad to see him go......especially since he's also really hot IMO, which makes the loss that much more painful! :p Seriously, IMO he's hotter than JRM as Henry....
