Vampires & Zombies Oh My

[shakatany]

I've been watching "Blood Ties" since it premiered. I like it but I don't love it. Kyle Schmid is verry cute but I just can't picture him as the bastard son of Henry VIII. However I do have this picture in my head of Henry Fitzroy watching "The Tudors" on Showtime and pointing out all the flaws: "No my father would never say that." or "Anne Boleyn never dressed like that" (he was married to Lady Mary Howard, Anne's cousin). I have been having fun reading Tanya Huff's blog and discovering that she's here on LJ too as andpuff*adding another pro writer to my flist*. She didn't just take the money and run - she's taking an interest in what's going on and is writing a script for the series.
 
I've been watching "Lost" all season and I think the series has regained its footing and has turned back into the series we've loved since the beginning. Last night's ep was interesting. It would appear that only pregnant women stay dead on the Island but there are others buried in that little graveyard and I know Rousseau's companions were said to have all perished - maybe it's only new, non-acclimated arrivals who don't return. I guess Rousseau was pregnant before she came to the Island. If a "Lost" season equals a month and the show is on for 5 years then maybe the crisis with Sun (and a small yay that Jin is the father) will be in the final set of problems to be solved before the end. Now we need to find out why the mystery woman (I think her name in Naomi) said Flight 815 had been found and all were dead. Are they ghosts or zombies in some sort of limbo (please no) or what's up with that?

You never spoiler warned!! ;) Not that it matters, I never know what's going on with Lost anyways and they've taken it off our telly the bla'guards! Grrr.

I was gonna say...shame ol' blot on the face of history didn't just marry the sister and save all that damned angst! Fitzroy would have been the legitimate heir!

I tried but LJ bollixed it up somehow and wouldn't let me fix it :(

shame ol' blot on the face of history didn't just marry the sister and save all that damned angst! Fitzroy would have been the legitimate heir! Huh? You mean you'd have liked Henry Fitzroy to have married Bloody Mary? Even if she was just his half-sister that's a bit squicky.

Why would he have to marry his half-sister? He'd just be King when old Henry popped his clogs! Mary would just be married off to some Duke and Elizabeth and Edward would never have been born and Henry should have kept his pecker in his hose... ;) Mind you then we wouldn't have had Elizabethan England and maybe Sir Walter Raleigh wouldn't have discovered baccy or spuds! That would have been a crying shame, no fags or chips.

I was trying to figure out what you meant by your first comment - it's a bit unclear from where I'm sitting.

Tried to fix the post once more and now I'm giving up :(

Lol. I have this knack for confusing peeps. PK is always commenting on it. Sorry sugar, just ignore me. I'd try the patience of a saint!

OK I'll ignore whatever you'd like.

However I did finally figured out a way to fix the cut tag - phew!! It now says "Lost" musings like I wanted it too from the beginning. I think LJ has a glitch in its system :(
