Alright, it took us 3 tries to get this epoisode recorded.  A few major news stories broke out during that time, and everything feels like it's on fire.  So, what better time to talk about the Virgin Queen?  We're starting with Elizabeth's early years; her mother's beheading, being disinherited at age 3, trying to earn her place in court, and what happens when King dad dies, and you're no where near the throne.....

The boys are up to no good on a world tour!  Philip and his Bestie, Mike, get tongues wagging when someone starts spilling tea... Liz is waiting to hear from Philip while her Prime Minister is also up to no good, with world-wide consequences.  And we stan women supporting women with crappy husbands!

When you were a kid, did you every try to evoke the legend of Bloody Mary?  Standing in a dark bathroom, you say her name 3 times, turn around, and she'll be right in the mirror to cause a heart attack.  Ring a bell? Well .... what if we told you that one of Bloody Mary's inspiration is our own Queen Mary the first of England!  But, she didn't pop up in your bathroom ... we'll get into all that.

Season 2 Premiere!!!! We're back at the palace, ready to read subtle cues and listen to the men in mustaches. 

To begin this season, we're treated to a flashforward of a tense discussion between Philip and Liz, and the happier times that preceded it. 

Eden is facing some issues in the Middle East, and he's keeping secrets .... BIG ones!

Alright everyone, it's time to don your corsets and take your weekly bath, we're heading back to Tudor England!  When we last left Mary, her father had passed and a there was a new King in Town - her MUCH  younger brother and godson, and faith-rival, Edward (the 6th).  A boy king on the throne, what could go wrong?  A boy king with a VERY different faith, who was scared of Mary - I repeat - WHAT COULD GO WRONG???
