The Return of Hank

You know spring is here.

Eye candy Jonathan Rhys Meyers has returned as King Henry VIII (or “Henry 8″ as he’s deemed in this poster), along with his entourage of Doomed Queens in the final season of THE TUDORS. I’m eager to find out how vacuously they’ll portray Catherine Howard (which I’m sure will horrify author Alisa Libby), how stately Catherine Parr will be, and whether the ghost of Anne Boleyn will make the obligatory appearance. I suspect that only Joss Stone’s Anne of Cleves will come out a winner.

THE TUDORS is hardly the stuff of high culture, but it’s a ton of fun. Maybe I’ll even play a drinking game: for every mention of divorce, reformation, or execution, take a shot of your favorite beverage!

The good news is that we don’t have to wait until April 11th to watch the premiere, thanks to the good people at Showtime. Player not working in your choice of browser? You can also view the episode on YouTube here.

Enjoy! And welcome back, Hank!
