Goofs galore
31 January 2021
The episode is as undemandingly amusing as the series ever was; this is a personal issue, but as a European history buff the glaring historical errors had me gritting my teeth. You don't go to a fantasy sitcom for an accurate history lesson, but I'm glad the "Goofs" section caught most of them. One oddity that isn't just historically wrong but contrary to common sense is the scene where Josephine tries to verify Tony's story that Napoleon will divorce her and marry the Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria, and in the next scene we see the Archduchess as a baby (inaccurately, as Goofs points out) in a bassinet. France was a very powerful country, but I find it hard to believe their leader's wife could get the infant princess of a foreign power transported to Paris in a few hours' time just to rebut the claim of some guy in prison.
