I don't like Jane Seymour being characterized as a doormat. When I look at the facts we have in front of us, she seems more like she was being practical and trying to survive. Besides bearing future King Edward VI, Jane did three things I'd like to examine as queen:

made strict requirements for her lady in waiting's dress and had a more sober court

championed the Lady Mary

begged Henry for mercy and for the monasteries during the Pilgrimage of Grace

The first seems like a sensible tightening up of standards to try and shield herself and her ladies from accusations of impropriety, of which Anne Boleyn had been accused of.

For the second, besides being a kindness, it was politically sensible to speak kindly of Mary because if the King suddenly died, Mary (legally disinherited or not) likely still had a good chance of being crowned.

The attempted intervention for the old ways was possibly Jane's biggest political move and Henry rebuked its strongly, ominously urging her not to meddle. However, the fact that she would even risk that indicates to me she had some strong opinions of her own. But the fact that she didn't bring it up again seems less like passivity but the good sense not to rouse the king's anger.

When Jane (whose time as queen was rather short) is said to have been passive and meek, I personally think, how should she have acted instead? Catherine of Aragon was strong-willed but Jane witnessed her be painfully put aside. Anne Boleyn too of course was famously opinionated and vocal, and Jane became engaged to Henry the day after her execution. Catherine of Aragon was of powerful royal family to offer some protection, and Anne had been the king's infatuation. Jane was neither of these things, and she had seen her two predecessors with them not fare well. I think it was entirely sensible of Jane to keep her head down low.

On a more 'out there' level of personal speculation, I wonder if Jane would have tried to be more vocal on her beliefs if she had survived Edward's birth and especially if she had had more sons. If she had one or more sons, she would have powerfully cemented her place as queen and had more leverage to speak. As unhinged and vengeful as Henry was, I doubt that if he had had a surviving queen who had borne him sons, he never would have disposed of her.

Source: sorry, not as official this time, but pages 131-134 in Divorced, Beheaded, Survived: A Feminist Reinterpretation of the Wives of Henry VIII by Karen Lindsay. I actually disagree with Lindsay's takes, I think she is oddly harsh on Jane.

Sometimes I feel like I'm shipping something that'll never be a Thing in canon and that's cool and fun but other times the show throws scenes like this at my face and all I can do is make distressed noises like a tiny nervous animal being brought into a foster home.

Dancing with the Stars Season 5 Week 6: Rewatch

Another infamous week in DWTS history. I really am not looking forward to watching Sabrina and Mark do their final dance on the show. But here we go. Let's just get this started. Also, this is the first week that the stars do two dances.

Sabrina and Mark- Foxtrot (Judges' Score=25, My Score=9)- Speaking of Sabrina, I actually thought this dance was judged way too harshly. I thought she was smooth when she needed to be but she also didn't lose the trademark Sabrina stamp of being feisty and fierce (as she should as a Cheetah Girl). Her posture was great. Her technique was impeccable. Musicality was incredible. There was a mistake where she did lose her footing, but it was great otherwise. CAI was right on the money with this one.

Jennie and Derek- Mambo (Judges' Score=27, My Score=9)- Jennie was so much more confident this week than she was last week. Her hips were moving. She was sure of herself. She had a good time. She just left it all on the floor and it was so much fun to watch. There were a couples of small mistakes throughout, but as a performance, this was Jennie's best dance so far.

Jane and Tony- Jive (Judges' Score=22, My Score=7)- So I'll say this. Jane hit every single step. There were only a handful of mistakes. The issue was that the jive just didn't suit Jane. She needed to be sharper and more precise. It was just kinda low energy. It's not that she didn't perform at a high level, the energy itself was just low. Again, like the judges said, it has everything to do with the jive not being a match for Jane.

Cameron and Edyta- Samba (Judges' Score=25, My Score=8)- This dance was good. I did think that Cameron's leg and hip action were actually really good for this dance. Taller men typically struggle with this, especially men with long legs. But he did not struggle there. I think his arms were a bit of a mess. I also wanted just a bit more energy and groundedness from him. I also wanna say that Cameron is so freaking sexy. This costume really highlighted his arms, legs and booty in the best way. Mmph.

Mel and Maks- Rumba (Judges' Score=30, My Score=10)- This was amazing. Perfect. Their chemistry was off the charts. Mel's technique was incredible. No notes.

Marie and Jonathan- Paso Doble (Judges' Score=23, My Score=8)- Marie was definitely way more in tune with her body this week than usual. Her posture was a lot better than it has been. However, she did not push as hard as she usually does and I also felt that the shaping was off. I keep saying this with Marie, but there are moments of greatness that are sprinkled throughout her dances. I just can't wait until we get to the dances where the greatness is realized the entire way.

Helio and Julianne- Cha-cha (Judges' Score=28, My Score=9)- What a way for them to come back. Helio looked so much more comfortable. He was the Helio that we all know and love and SHONE! The dance was technically good. The performance was high. I will say that I wanted his feet a tad bit sharper. But otherwise, a top notch dance. Also, I forgot that this was the dance that Julianne farted during their interview with Samantha. DWTS was in the news every single week during this season for something whether it was as small as an accidental fart or as large as Marie fainting. I miss these days.

Group Rock and Roll- I really enjoyed this group dance and it is one that I come back to and watch every so often. The thing I love the most about it is that we got to see how close this cast was to one another and we got to see how good they all are. This might be the strongest top 7 in DWTS history. There are no duds. Everyone is quite good. The pros were also just much better back then. I'm so sorry, I'm not sure what the difference is, but it's so apparent. I loved the group choreo. Even the rehearsal package was just joyous. I wish we could have DWTS go back to this. We are missing the fun and the camaraderie. We will see more of that on display next week.

My Rankings and Scores Out of 30:

1 Mel and Maks- 30 2 Helio and Julianne- 28 3 Sabrina and Mark- 27 =Jennie and Derek- 27 5 Cameron and Edyta- 25 6 Marie and Jonathan- 23 7 Jane and Tony- 22

So from this point on, every single elimination will be difficult. All of these couples are incredible and had exactly what they needed to win this show. I'm upset that Sabrina and Mark were eliminated, but I wouldn't have wanted Cameron and Edyta (the other half of the bottom 2) to go over them. If I had to choose, I would've chosen Jane and Tony and even that feels wrong because they are also incredible and have so much left to give. So yeah, it's gonna be gut wrenching from here on out. Let me know y'all's thoughts and I will talk to you soon!
