Oh yeah, Nostradamus is in this! Having visions and shit.
It's like a less well-executed period OC. At least, that's what I'm hoping. The pilot was fun.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It does have Anne of Green Gables as Catherine de Medici. But Betsy & others were over on LJ mocking the costuming, which is jaw-droppingly modern.

It's kind of half-assedly modern on purpose. Like they weren't going to do it that way originally, but then they realized period clothes were going to be too hard.

Because books.
Watching Reign now, and wow. The costumes are a bit brow-raising. It is fun, though. I like Mary.

In the ballroom scene, I thought, "Wow. Vera Wang has been in business for a looooong time."

I'm sure from a historical perspective, pretty much everything in Reign is wrong, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode. I wound up watching it last night because I was already on the CW after having watched TVD which I just can't quit even though now it's just cannibalizing itself and finding new ways to be terrible. Anyway, TVD went off, Reign came on and it was ridiculous good fun. I'll watch again next week.

I want to like it! I love this era! But they're taking *amazing* liberties with not only historical fact and fashion, but customs and courtesies. I don't mind a little bit of hand-waving, but I was expecting something more like The Tudors.
I'll probably watch at least one more time -- I really do like Mary.

I didn't even watch Dawson's Creek or Felicity but those were the show names bouncing around as I watched the episode.

I don't watch the show, but this amused me.
