I will vote #7 I guess because I love the certainty of Francis' commitment to Mary in #3. Of course, I like #7 too - am I being ridiculous about still hoping that Mary is preggers? Please.

tftnt!

Again, I hope you're feeling better and enjoying your birthday, Steph.

Good to see you here, Rachel.

Stephen, I completely understand why you voted for #7. I adore the conviction with which Toby delivered that line. So beautiful and romantic. And you are not ridiculous for still hoping that Mary is pregnant. At least... if you are ridiculous, then I'm ridiculous, too. I mean...she has been under a lot of stress, so it would not be unrealistic for her not to realize that she was pregnant for a couple months. But every time I let myself believe that it could still be a possibility, I stop myself. I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

In the end, I have to vote for #3 as well. As a woman who won't be able to have children of her own, the moment in #7 touched me in an extremely personal way. To hear a husband express his unconditional love to his wife in that way, when she is feeling her most vulnerable and insecure....It was just incredible.

#3 - 3 (Issi, Steph, Keri)
#7 - 1 (Stephen)

Happy birthday Steph! I hope you can still enjoy it even when sick.

I'd love if Mary were pregnant but with all the stress, I don't know how that would be possible since the cycle would be out of whack. Also, as we all well know, Laurie doesn't like nice things .

I'll go with #3 too.

kerbear28

Hey Andrea!

Yeah...I suppose that the extra stress would probably be an obstacle to Mary getting pregnant in the first place and carrying to term. I was just thinking that if she missed a couple cycles or she felt "off," she might attribute it to the grief and stress she has been under, rather than get her hopes up that she might be pregnant. But, you're absolutely right. Laurie doesn't like nice things...or at least nice things that last for longer than five seconds. So, as always, it's best to expect nothing.

#3 - 4 (Issi, Steph, Keri, Andrea)
#7 - 1 (Stephen)

Keri, I think I know what you mean. There have been moments that Reign has touched my life in ways that I never would have thought possible. It took a lot of courage for Francis to say that he was utterly and completely Mary's, but it was also true until his death.

kerbear28

Yes, Francis was always so courageous in expressing his love for Mary. I guess that's why I'm ok with #3 not winning this survivor. By episode 1x15, we had already heard him express that sentiment to Mary several times - "I'm yours." It was, and always will be, TRUE. Even beyond death. It was special every time he said it, but #7 is just a different expression of devotion and reassurance.

Awww...I've really missed quite a lot in these few days I've been MIA, haven't I? It looks like I have some major back-reading to do. But from what I've caught a glimpse of, it looks like it was Steph's birthday and that Issi is going to Spain. Happy Belated Birthday, Steph! Also, I hope you have an enjoyable trip to Spain, Issi.

I hope everyone's well and looking forward to Christmas. I'm sorry I haven't stopped in to help with the survivor or to share the update to Reignite. I'm not sure what it is, but I've just been feeling really faint and dizzy lately so it's been difficult to look at a computer screen or to do much else really. Luckily, I am starting to feel a bit more...normal.

Since we're only one vote away from ending this last round, I can go ahead and vote #3 as well. It's beautiful and the way Toby said it certainly made me weak in the knees, but #7 is really special to me because it is SO Francis. I love that this line not only reaffirms his love for Mary, but also that he is a truly beautiful man. What King in that time would have ever said that? I'm sure we all know how many male rulers of that time were...*cough* Henry VIII *cough* Anyway, that's mostly why I feel more attached to that quote. I also adore it because it is one of the first quotes I remember when I think of Francis.
