When Henri died, Catherine banished Diane.

This in and of itself is fine, Iguess.

We have a time jump, and they seem to have wanted an older Rahima.

Who knows why Original Montmorency is gone?

plotlines, youre expected to just kind of deduce that Montmorency changed his face.

In brief, the Guises are Catholic and the Bourbons are Protestant.

Francois is the martial one, and Charles is the cardinal.

Antoine de Bourbon is Pinky, and his brother Louis is the Brain.

Life is about what youre willing to do to survive.

And Catherine de Medici is willing to do anything.

Maybe shed be a good Real Housewife.

Its 1572, which means, oh shit, were in the year of theSt.

I admit to being annoyed with this season opener.

Its trying to walk a line between period drama and comedy, and its not successful.

Weve gotta be eased back in, people!

Other things Im hoping for more of are all of Catherines children.

But it cant be just a couple of them.

Id be fine if the Guises and Bourbons all fell off a cliff like harried lemmings.

Send all four of them home.

And by home, I mean off that cliff I mentioned.

They say,Okay, sure, well get right on that, and they convince Charles to go.

), and then everyone screams and its all very upsetting.

But was Charles inside?!

He is, in fact, Cosimo Ruggieri, so I wasnt as far off as I thought.

I miss Old Rahima, but New Rahima seems great.

She has a coterie of sexy spy ladies!

Also, Francois is gay?

Which his mother uses to blackmail him to burn the aforementioned church down.

She doesnt even threaten him with death due to being a sodomite.

Just the losing respect thing!

This is on you, Francois.

Hope Charles is alive, although with Catherines trail of dead bodies, he wont be for long!
