Watching her play the manipulative queen Catherine just felt so, so wrong. She and Gilbert are up on PEI living happily ever after...<br /><br />Anyway, I return from my little world. The historical inaccuracies in this show are so rife as to be laughable. The one that had me, as Morgan so beautifully put it, screaming into the arm of my couch was the names of her four friends. In reality, they were all named Mary and they called each other nicknames based on their surnames. But, I can see how that may have been too much trouble for the writers when all one has to do is type Lola...<br /><br />Once I realized that the history books had been tossed into the moat, I settled back and approached it as a standard CW soap. From that perspective, I quite enjoyed it. It was a good pilot and, you may judge me as well as sunbunny, I will be back for more.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73789120404328605442013-10-19T01:46:27.765-04:002013-10-19T01:46:27.765-04:00Morgan - I can't imagine what you're talki...Morgan - I can't imagine what you're talking about.

Although the hint of supernatural is mildly intriguing. <br /><br /><i>One of the more obvious inaccuracies is that the younger characters have been aged up at least half a dozen years, in order to avoid the ick factor. I can’t imagine anyone really having a problem with this.</i> There is almost always a line in your reviews that makes me laugh, sunbunny, and this one is it.
