Anne could have at least apologized to her rat (edit - mouse). "I'm so sorry for killing you, Brown Jenkins. Please, forgive me." It might not completely de-zombify him, but it's a good place to start.

These first couple episodes brought to mind the fantastically creepy poem from The Innocents:
"What shall I sing to my lord from my window?
What shall I sing for my lord will not stay?
What shall I sing for my lord will not listen?
Where shall I go when my lord is away?
Whom shall I love when the moon is arisen?
Gone is my

Sadly, the dumbening of Mary continues. At this rate, she won't be executed, she'll just accidentally walk into an axe and decapitate herself.

I don't miss him per se, but I miss how fun the show could be.

a. La bête du Gévaudan
b. Mary's half-brother come to save her
c. Castleroy sold his soul to the devil to escape prison, now he's the phantom of the chateau
d. Clarissa's ninja boyfriend
e. All of the above

He had the best grade of his whole Hogwarts class in Disapparating.

Conde is "Life of Brian"-ing his way through the show. People keep going out of their way to give him grand opportunities and acting like he's special, but he's done nothing to deserve it.

If Mary can use royal funds to directly finance her friend's brothel - quel scandale! - then she can certainly pardon the realm's only proto-feminist Protestant pepper merchant.

Not sure how to react to where this is all going. I guess that when you board a ride at the traveling carnival, you know there's a chance you'll fly off the rails.
Of course I liked Greer's message about independence finally getting through to Leith - and hope springs eternal that the Protestant uprising will bring

If Kenna ever gets a spin-off, the whole thing should be styled like her 80s music video dream sequence, full of blurred movement and lens flares.

"P.S. Finn and I are running away together."

Does witch power coming from "arousal" match up at all with how Mercy was trained last season?
I'm glad they transferred Anne's crush on John Alden to Cotton.

Have you ever seen "It's Love I'm After?" A comedy with Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland.

I'm a big fan of Leslie Howard in general. As other people have noted, he was miscast as Ashley - almost fifty (almost a decade older than Clark Gable) and supposed to be playing about twenty-two.

Here I was thinking Count Odo was just a man trying to do a difficult job, wanting to marry Gisla partly due to the power it would bring him, but also because he recognized and admired her. Turns out, he just wanted to "break her" in his sex dungeon!

Rollo might betray Ragnar again, but he wouldn't betray Bjorn, who may well be in charge of the next raid. I predict Gisla will learn to trust Rollo, and she will make a deal with him to use the raiders to take over Paris from her father and Count Odo, both because she thinks she would be a better ruler and for

Hopefully Elizabeth will have better dialogue and delivery, though.

Wasn't there some nonsense festival called Winter's Ease half a season ago? Why are they still walking around in deep snow?
Child extras - cheaper than full-grown ones!
It's nice that the semi-traitorous queen is allowed to wander around the forest by herself to bump into her lover.
Did Francis' voice become deeper and

If they have the same child actor for the period between Pearl Harbor and VJ day, his other superpower is that he's in a bow office opening crossover with "Age of Adaline." Or maybe he prays so hard that time collapses in on itself?
