i'm somewhat surprised someone hasn't already posted something from showtime's campy costume drama
the tudors.

other than being mostly cheese and filled with historical inaccuracies -- there is one redeeming characteristic.

the wildly random romance between thomas tallis and sir william compton.

screencaps are pretty big


scene 1

there's thomas tallis, unwittingly composing music while the two ladies of the court in the background scheme



they ask if he wants to return to the bedroom that they both share


tallis refuses, saying he wants to finish what he is working on


along comes sir william compton, played by kris holden-reid


who catches thomas looking fondly after the girls


and the musician returns to his work, curiosity piqued for being noticed

scene 2

tallis doing the music thing again


compton doing the spying thing again


compton compliments tallis by saying that even orpheus would be jealous of his talent






tallis spies on compton after he leaves




disappointed 'cause his soon-to-be lover is schmoozing with the ladies

scene 3

tallis is walking in some sort of catacomb or underground passage way and meets compton who was following him


compton: "why do you deny me?"
tallis: "you have a wife."


compton: "so?"


tallis: "you are a lord - what am i?"


compton: "a genius." oh no. the writers of this show are genius.









scene 4







despite all the gratuitous heterosexual sex on the show, we get this tame shot of the tallis/compton afterglow. precious.

scene 5

tallis at compton's estate in warwickshire




compton utters the 3 words every boy wants to hear: "wash your hair." uh. wait. he actually says: "i love you."


tallis: "what about your wife?"
compton: "you know i believe love is not bound by doctrine."


tallis tells compton that upon wolsey's request, he must leave for france to accompany the cardinal


compton is sad but realizes that tallis is under obligation

although i haven't watched episode 7 yet, i'm hearing through the grapevine that 'ol tallis/compton is not gonna last much longer.

Thanks for the caps. And here I thought Showtime was the official boy touching network! If they're not gonna show it, who is?

asdfjldsf. THAT IS SO CUTE.

[ktryo.livejournal.com]

yup

[oh-mumble.livejournal.com]

Thanks, appreciate it. If it's outside the cut, those of us reading past entries don't have a choice as to whether we're spoiled or not.

Compton aka Chris Martin of Coldplay. O.O

[lemonsherry.livejournal.com]

seriously.

[smilesawakeyou.livejournal.com]

Duuuude.... I was thinking the exact same thing. I was also thinking "why the hell do I not have showtime?"

[emhj.livejournal.com]

Ha, I'm so glad I read this! (A little later after I posted my comment, so know I look even MORE of a fool!) But still.. Dead ringer

god i love them. they're the only true people at court--no ulterior motives, no plotting.

... they can't break up!!! =CCCC

[ktryo.livejournal.com]

i know -- even though it seems that compton is a lot more invested/head over heels than tallis is

i actually am pretty sure that one of them dies of sweating sickness in episode 7

[clockworktri.livejournal.com]

NNNOOOOOOOOO!
all my tv gay couples are going down the shitter. why can't they just be happy together? why?!

[clockworktri.livejournal.com]

p.s. i think it's absolutely adorable how head over heals compton is for tallis. he's so good to him! something in the back of my head kept waiting for tallis to realize how he did miss him while in france. *sigh*

Oh my! It's the guy from 'Touch of Pink' (Another cute gay movie ^-^...it's actually really good too! I suggest you should add it to your list of movies to watch)

YES! I fell in love with Kristen in that movie! And when I started watching the Tudors, I freaked out when I sawre he was in it!

[neinfraulein.livejournal.com]

AHHHH I LOVE THEM SOO MUCH. Why do the TV Gods curse me!!!!??? *cry*

[emhj.livejournal.com]

Aww, the bed scene is gorgous!

Every time I see this, I always think it's the singer from Coldplay. I know, I know, I'm a fool - but I think it's just my brain going smushy from all the BT'ing!

AAAAH fmeoiaemaekdmf So cute!

The second I saw an advert for that show, I knew, there would be SOMETHING gay on it. :D

[kerrie-2point0.livejournal.com]

Purrrrr ^__^

[misslucyjane]

Ooo. Very pretty boys indeed. Thank you for sharing.

[theecrazyartist.livejournal.com]

1st off: i can't believe i missed that episode
2nd: i cant believe they didnt show anything besides them kissing *pout*

[typo1138.livejournal.com]

I was ALSO feeling dejected from the lack of homosexual sexy scenes :/ And this is during an episode with 20% more sex than the other leading episodes! Disappointing....but beautiful nonetheless :D

[shakenstatic.livejournal.com]

I very nearly posted regarding this right after their relationship began a few weeks ago, but I didn't have any of these lavely caps that you have...and I figured it'd be sooner than later before someone posted on it :oD

I won't tell you what happens, but it's very tragic...and I can't believe there's only 3 more episodes left! :(

[girloftheburbs.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I stopped watching the show after King Henry was all over all the ladies... I should've continued watching, huh? ;) These two are cute together... "So?", indeed? LOL

[blake-fraina.livejournal.com]

Oh thank God you posted this!!!

My mother's been watching this cheeseball show since the beginning and, as I am the only other Anglophile in the family, she's been encouraging me to watch it so that she can discuss it with someone (she's retired and very bored, you see). I watched the first episode (on SHO-on-Demand) last night and....urgh...I didn't know how I was going to get through it all. They're already up to episode eight!!!!

Now that I know there's a bit of a m/m romance sub-plot (with TOUCH OF PINK's delicious Holden-Reid), at least I have some hope to cling to.

Bless you. Bless you.

I'm seriously in awe of Tallis's outfit. (Or rather outfits - both the fashionably melancholic black one and the green/pink combination). What a snappy dresser. That is not to say that I don't like him without his clothes...
Lovely lovely lovely. Thanks a lot for posting!

[iluvshajalan.livejournal.com]

WHY DIDN'T MY MOM TELL ME THAT THERE IS BOYTOUCHING ON THIS SHOW???
All I've heard is that there is a hell of a lot of sex. But I didn't know about BOYSEX! I must watch this ASAP!!!

[endergonic.livejournal.com]

hey, i'm sorry but i don't see any pictures. i'm not sure if it's because my internet is being shitty or if they're just gone. if they're just gone, is there any chance that you could reupload them?

thanks. :)
