I received this through the submission form for the Q&A blog, but it really belongs here. I personally feel that they wrote themselves into a corner by changing everything about Henry VIII’s sisters, and therefore losing many of the dramatic story lines of Jane Grey, Katherine Grey, Mary Queen of Scots, etc. I don’t see how they could honestly work those people back into the story as potential heirs to the throne when they’ve eliminated the basis for their claims to the throne.<\/p>\n

But, if you’re interested in asking Showtime to continue the series, please see the information below.<\/p>\n

\nGod Save “The Tudors”!!<\/p>\n

According to Robert Greenblatt, entertainment president of the U.S. pay-TV channel Showtime, “The Tudors” final season “will be the final two wives”, season 4.<\/p>\n

Please, help keep the Tudors alive. By signing the petition you are asking Showtime to extend The Tudors for 2-3 more seasons, following season 4. We are asking to see the reigns of the infamous and beloved Edward IV, Mary I, and Elizabeth I.<\/p>\n

Come one, come all! Help save “The Tudors”, from getting the AXE! Please, click on the link provided and sign the petition.<\/p>\n

Please understand my reasoning for closing this thread – people have had their say and I don’t want it to continue on to a full-out argument on the issue.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
