Henry was 6'2--and JRM, sadly, can't be more than 5'6 or so. He is fun to watch, without doubt, but Henry was never a "weak" king, and this show likes to portray him as a "little boy" who is learning to be a strong king. Henry was formidable (in personality and stature) from the beginning. But this is something we Tudor fans already know. I guess we should just enjoy it, right?<br/><br/>ps--Episode Two is MUCH better than the pilot... Not to sound nit-picky, but JRM is Wayyyyy too short to play Henry.
