"Whenever things look dire (and let's face it, they still often do) just remember that this show is giving us Anne Shirley as Catherine de' Medici, and revel in her scenery-chewing each week."

"of course she is" "a talking rat" and Catherines black dress were the best parts of the episode.

Yeah, I wanted Don Carlos to reply, "uh, what the hell are you talking about??"
