Edward Seymour + being the only person in the room to know some history but not always

“on 17 May 1536, the marriage between Henry and Anne was annulled – that is to say, it was declared null and void as if it had never happened. From this point, contemporary documents tend to refer to Elizabeth as “the Lady Elizabeth” just as Mary Tudor was “the Lady Mary” <…> The Third Act of Succession of 1543/44 restored Mary and Elizabeth of the line of succession behind Prince Edward. If Edward died without heirs then they could inherit the throne in turn. However, it did not reverse their illegitimacy. Elizabeth therefore continued to be referred to as “the Lady Elizabeth” or sometimes “the King’s sister the Lady Elizabeth”.” — [x] — Kirsten Claiden-Yardley

Jonathan Harker would never cheat on his wife!

Unless you count the adaptations!

Look, if I don't talk about this now, I probably never will! Because for some reason, so many writers have taken to having Jonathan practically be the scum of the earth by neglecting and cheating on Mina; this is especially the case in many of the "sequel" stories. And of course, usually it's just so Mina can end up with Dracula by the end of it.

What's even more annoying is that even Bram Stoker's own great-grandnephew did this and I absolutely hate it!

i can't believe I did this, but I desperately needed it! Because there was no scene like that I had no choice but to do it myself.

“The queen sent her brother Edward to Hunsdon, to see what apparel I needed. I said, my father’s favour is clothing enough, but he begged me to ask for whatever I wished. Edward Seymour is a fine gentleman. It is a pity he is a heretic.”

— The Mirror and The Light, Hilary Mantel

“She’s an honest woman.” “Her honesty has never been the problem. It’s her faith that is. And her deep desire to parade it.”

Princess Mary causes the first windows breakdown in 16. Century, in Somerset's brain.

Somermary talks about eachother in episode 2 but this time with Edward vi

For me, the show ended with the death of my favorite man (Edward Seymour), but I still wanted to see Mary's reign.

Now it's time to talk, when Mary's character was stronger and the actress was much better, they drew a path of ridiculous adolescent and disgusting romance, of Elizabeth and Thomas S. for hours. They didn't kill this man %75 of show even everone hated him.

The timelines were funny. If I didn't know about history, I would have said that the last two episodes tell a two-week timeline, not a four-year one.

Because their main character was Elizabeth; they tried to not give many scenes Mary and Edward VI. We didn't see the king's coronation, education ans his relationships with his sisters and uncles. And for Mary, she was always wearing black in this show while she a fashion icon for her time, we know that she was a pretty good dancer and the king didn't like it. But we couldn't see any scenes even she was dancing because they didn't invite her Elizabeth's birthday and she wasn't at feast after Scottish war.

The fact that Edward doesn't know his cousins and Pedro doesn't meet the Seymour children until the final, despite being in and out of Somerset house all the time! We couldn't see Anne Stanhope while she was saying she is stronger than Catherine Parr. Jane Seymour didn't even come to the show as a ghost!

For God's sake, if Thomas S. executed early, we would have watched more about all this, and maybe the fate of the show would have been different. But I am glad it was cancalled at that point because Somerset is dead.
