I agree. Unlike all the regular characters of season 2, Mrs. Miggins was just too normal. Also, she wasn't very well integrated into the cast - she interacted only with Blackadder (and once with Baldrick, when she's roasting him on the fire in 'Dish and Dishonesty'), and never with Prince George. Even the much larger…

The show has explicitly compared Toby's behaviour of befriending people in need (specifically Lana) to Kathryn's.

Thanks. It's no big deal, really. I'm sorry for my tone in the above post.

Bob's name - as pronounced by Blackadder - certainly does negate a lot of ill effect from Flashheart's presence. But not quite enough to bring the episode up to a full A.

Edmund: Baldrick, you're fired.
Baldrick: But my Lord, I've been in your family since 1532.
Edmund: So has syphilis. Now get out.

The Percys are a real English aristocratic family dating back to Norman times, and have played a fairly important role in English history. Most notably Henry Percy, the 1st Earl of Northumberland, helped King Henry IV gain the throne, and then rebelled against him, and his son 'Hotspur' (both prominently featured in…

Yeah - season 2 is the most consistently great Blackadder season. I'd personally give an A to all the episodes except 'Bells', which would get only an A- (I don't like Flashheart all much).

Geez, thanks for the spoiler. I haven't seen the latest episode yet.

I didn't mean that he's not powerful in the sense that of not being the top monarch - I meant that he's not powerful because he's such a blithering moron that he literally can't function without Blackadder (for example, George can't even put on his trousers by himself). So Blackadder holds the reins in their…

I love season 3, but I agree that the smaller cast was a bit depressing. No Percy, no Melchett, and no Queenie … that's just sad. (Well, they all did guest star, but not as the characters they were in the previous season.)

"in away that even Downton Abbey doesn't convey."

Good point. Hugh Laurie is great as Prince George, but Goerge, despite being a prince, is not particularly powerful and therefore not dangerous - he's just too stupid. Season 3's Blackadder essentially holds all the power in their relationship, despite being officially a servant. On the other hand Season 2's…

I really doubt Angelo will die. It seems a bit too dark for SaB.

Melody accused Regina of faking her injury in order to get attention. If I were Regina, I'd find that very hard to forgive.

"When was the last time Melody and Regina spent time together?"

IMO, Regina's attitude towards Bay stems from her knowing about the switch for years before anyone else did. When she found out, she spent a long time following Bay around and building up a fantasy of the daughter she could never get close to or even acknowledge. Now that she actually can acknowledge her and get close…

Those are not all equivalent. For instance, Blackadder's killing the first Scarlet Pimpernel is a case of self-defence plus mistaken identity. But his killing of the second one is pure cold-blooded murder. Amy was a murderer and thief herself, so turning her in to the authorities could be considered an act of civic…

Don't worry too much about the historical references - they're all over
the place. It gets particularly egregious in the third season, which
shows the French Revolution (1789-1799) occurring during the English
Regency (1811-1820) for instance.

And he directly contributes to the deaths of the two actors in 'Sense and Senility'.

Middle of the ocean? It was on Dragonstone, which is just off the mainland.
