Love that parallel.

Here are the next couple (more bittersweet) parallels.



Catherine || Regina #39 [Moved past the pain of losing a son by the need to win.]



Catherine || Regina #40 [Apologized for not being what their sons wanted.]

More Megan on The Murdoch Mysteries.





Happy New Year, Megan lovers! (Great edit Amanda! )

So many of the parallels involve their motherhood and their relationships with their children.

I love your observations, Amanda. I hadn't noticed this either.

^ Her pure JOY and exuberance in that scene is EVERYTHING! Great edit!

More from the Murdoch Mysteries.



It's the anniversary of Catherine's death today.







Today in history - The Death of Catherine De Medici

Catherine remained politically active until the end of her life, touring France on Henry’s behalf and trying to assure the loyalty of its many fractured and war-torn provinces. She also amassed a huge collection of books and paintings, built or enlarged some of Paris’s finest buildings, including the Tuileries Palace, and carried on to the end her fascination with astrology. She was fat and gouty by 1589 and was taken ill that year from the exertion of dancing at the marriage of one of her granddaughters. She lived just long enough to hear that Henry’s bodyguards had murdered Guise; this news, writes Williamson, “destroyed her will to live, for it epitomized her failure. Her idolized son, for whom she had spent her whole life, had destroyed all that she had built and rejected everything she had taught him.” Later that year, Henry III in turn died, assassinated by a Dominican friar, Jacques Clement, who regarded him a traitor to the faith for joining Henry of Navarre against the Catholic League. In this way, the Valois dynasty came to an end. Ironically it was the Huguenot prince Henry of Navarre who succeeded to the throne, though he was unable to sit upon it until 1593 when he cynically adopted the Catholic faith with the famous remark, “Paris is worth a Mass.”



How precious is Megan accepting her first Gemini award for AOGG?

I think i ran out of parallels finally....well there are actually most likely more but my brain has burned out on them.

kerbear28

Well, it's incredible that you found as many parallels as you did. Though it's not surprising that two amazing queens would have a lot in common. You can always continue the series if a few more come to you.

What a beauty.



An I'll go ahead and post Amanda's last edit of Megan in The Murdoch Mysteries Christmas special.

I've enjoyed all the parallels.

NotDoneAbusingYou

No worries...seems i already found another...

kerbear28

That's awesome! These queens are masterful at making threats.

The other edit you posted is fantastic, too, Amanda. Poor Catherine. She did not want to do that.

ETA: Love this one, too.

Another creepy moment from 1x02. Cool edit, Amanda.
