I'd like to work on the 'About the Show' of 'Pushing Daisies' if no-one else does so far...

KaitlynReynolds

Don't worry, all fine... I only thought that it was missing and I would have volunteered to do it, but you did a good job as well...

KaitlynReynolds

I did see that Torchwood is still missing the episode guide for season 2, but 01torres did it for season 1, so I guess she/he (sorry, no idea...) should carry on with the next season...

I'm afraid I don't watch any of the other shows, so I basically have no idea about them and that makes it a little difficult to post an 'About the Show'...

KaitlynReynolds

I just saw that 'Brothers and Sisters' is missing an episode guide for both seasons. There is an 'About the Show', unpinned though. Any chance I could do those episode guides? That's a show I watch...

A conflicted Torchwood team is surprised to see Captain Jack suddenly return to their lives, and though he tries to come back as if nothing had happened, Jack soon finds that some things have changed since his disappearance. There's little time for explanations, though, as a mysterious stranger from Jack's past steps through the rift, and he's on a mission that only the Torchwood team can help him finish.

4. Meat
Conflicts abound when a truck owned by Rhys's trucking company is investigated by Torchwood... and Rhys is there to see it. The meat it carries is tainted, or is it even meat at all?

I'm just compiling my episode guides for 'Brothers and Sisters', but when I want to post it, it keeps telling me that the post is too long. Problem being, I can't make it any shorter and I have seen that there are other guides (Gilmore Girls for example) which are even longer... HELP!

KaitlynReynolds

Thanks a lot for the answer, then it looks like I'm stuck for now...

KaitlynReynolds

I already took out everything I could. Would I take out even more, it would be just crap and not complete. That's not what a good episode guide should be about...

KaitlynReynolds

It's for two seasons, so it already is split. One post for each season. Would it look bad to split one season in two posts?

KaitlynReynolds

First of all: Thanks a lot to bala and waterlilybarb for helping me out.

Then I actually just now saw that the second season of 'Brothers and Sisters' is cut short due to the previous writers' strike. This means, that season only has 16 episodes and I have provided a summary for all of them, so a mod may as well post the guide. bala said they can exceed their word count, so my split post may then be turned into one again... Just change and edit what you see fit to edit, your choice!

Following two (or three, depends) posts will then finally be the episode guides...

Sorry I was being such a pain with the word count problem I had...

Just because I got the hang of this stuff, there is another show I'd like to provide an episode guide for, namely 'The Tudors'.

Season 1 is finished, season 2 is still in full swing though, that guide had to be edited at the end of the season or in between, depends if the mod who posts the guide would be willing to add my summaries every time an episode had aired... Or I just make the guide for season 1 and season 2 when the season is finished. That's up to you, actually...

And I promise and swear that I'm finally done making so many posts in here...

KaitlynReynolds

Ok, so I'll post the guides now... I'd love to post them myself later, so just tell me what then needs editing and I'll do it...

Episode 1:
Henry prepares for war with France, but receives cautious counsel from the powerful Cardinal Wolsey, who urges a peace treaty. The King learns that his queen's lady-in-waiting Elizabeth Blount is pregnant with his child.

Episode 2:
Henry and the court go to the summit to sign the treaty with France. Tensions are understandably high, and tempers of both kings flare up more than once. Meanwhile, Henry takes on a new mistress named Mary Boleyn. He soon tires of her and her father summons her sister Anne to court and tells her to find a way to keep the king's interest.

Episode 3:
The King asks Charles to escort his sister, Margaret, to her betrothed and promotes him to Duke of Suffolk. The envoys from the Holy Roman-Emperor meet with Cardinal Wolsey and determine how to cement the treaty between the two nations. Anne catches the King's notice in a play. The Emperor is invited to the King's court. It is learned that the King of France knows of the treaty talks - and the Cardinal is quick to find a scapegoat. We learn more of why Anne's father and uncle want her to seduce the King.

Episode 4:
As a reward for his denunciation of Martin Luther, the Pope christens Henry “Defender of the Faith,” but a brush with death causes the king to seek a solution to his lack of an heir. Princess Margaret marries the decrepit King of Portugal reluctantly, but the union is short-lived; Henry's desire for Anne Boleyn intensifies when Anne goes home to her family estate.

Episode 5:
Henry is shocked when he learns that his ally, Emperor Charles V of Spain, has released France's King Francis I from prison. He's equally surprised when Anne Boleyn turns him down after offering to make her his sole mistress.

Episode 6:
As King Henry gains in confidence, his displeasure with the way the Catholic Church handles his request for an annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon grows. As a result, Cardinal Wolsey's position is weakening, leaving him vulnerable to his enemies.

Episode 7:
England's population is suffering, both from a lack of food and from a lethal plague called 'The Sweats'. As a result, King Henry feels depressed and not his usual, confident self. He starts having doubts about the future and his ability to rule the country. Fortunately for him, a change is coming up.

Episode 8:
In this episode the King receives a special guest. A papal envoy has come to discuss the annulment of the King's marriage to Katherine of Aragon, as requested by the King. The outcome of these discussions will determine Cardinal Wolsey's future career as well as the King's romance with Anne Boleyn. These discussions will also influence the nature of the relationship between England and Rome.

Episode 9:
The unthinkable comes to pass and Cardinal Wolsey is stripped of his powers and authority. No longer is he the Lord Chancellor. His successor is a surprising choice.

Episode 10:
Cardinal Wolsey attempts to save his career by finding a new, yet surprising ally: Queen Katherine, who has also lost the King's favour. However, their plotting is discovered by the King's advisors.

Episode 1:
The King makes himself head of the Church of England while the Catholic Church fights a losing battle to control Henry VIII's desire for an annulment. Anne Boleyn demands that Henry break off contact with Katherine, so the noble Queen is banished from court. On top of that the Reformation is underway.

Episode 2:
Christmas at the Tudor court is a time for ringing in the new. Mistress Anne Boleyn has replaced the banished Queen Katherine. The King's chaplain, Thomas Cranmer, makes a fact-finding visit to Lutheran Germany while Henry withdraws both the authority and taxes of the Catholic Church at home. And a royal visit to France finally convinces Anne to consummate her relationship with Henry, even as his best friend Charles Brandon suggests that she is no virgin.

Episode 3:
Henry can no longer be patient. With the Pope's blessing, he appoints Thomas Cranmer the Archbishop of Canterbury. Henry and Anne marry in secret, without even waiting for the annulment of Henry's first marriage. Anne gives birth to her and Henry's first child.

Episode 4:
Henry and Anne's first child, a daughter named Elizabeth is baptised. Henry submits a bill to Parliament which will become his first 'Act of Succession'. According to this act, only the children from his marriage to Anne can inherit the throne. The act includes the requirement that every subject, on demand, takes an oath acknowledging the King's marriage to Anne and his supremacy in all things secular and spiritual.

Episode 5:
Attempts to legitimise the King's marriage and increase his power hit unmovable obstacles as Sir Thomas More and Bishop Fisher insist that only God can be head of the church. Imprisoned in the Tower of London they face likely execution unless they take the Oath of Allegiance. Meanwhile Henry's wandering eye continues to roam.

Episode 6:
As the Reformation gathers pace Sir Thomas Cromwell becomes ever more powerful as propagandist-in-chief of a new moral order. Royal confidence has given way to doubt. Henry is haunted by the memory of the executed Thomas More while Queen Anne Boleyn's insecurities border on paranoia. Her husband's affairs continue and an effort to have her daughter Elizabeth betrothed to a French royal fails when the French King refuses to recognise that the infant Princess is of legitimate birth.
