Reign Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Reign Season 1-2 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Reign Premieres on The CW on October 10, 2013



Hidden between the lines of the history books is the story of Mary Stuart, the young woman the world would come to know as Mary, Queen of Scots. Queen of Scotland since she was six days old, the teenage Mary is already a headstrong monarch - beautiful, passionate, and poised at the very beginning of her tumultuous rise to power. Arriving in France with four close friends as her ladies-in-waiting, Mary has been sent to secure Scotland’s strategic alliance by formalizing her arranged engagement to the French king's dashing son, Prince Francis. But the match isn't signed and sealed: it depends more on politics, religion and secret agendas than affairs of the heart. Prince Francis is intrigued by the fiery Scot, but like most young men, he resists the idea of settling down into marriage, especially when he has a history with a lady of the court and his own point of view on the wisdom of an alliance with Scotland. Still, an attraction between Mary and Francis is ignited. Further complicating things is Bash, Francis' roguish half-brother, who has a history of his own - despite his illegitimate birth, Bash is his father's favorite. And now that Bash has caught Mary's eye, a royal triangle may be forming. While at French Court, fierce foes and dark forces conspire to sabotage Mary’s marriage to Francis and even threaten her life, until a mysterious shrouded guide becomes her ally. With danger and sexual intrigue around every dark castle corner, Mary rallies her ladies-in-waiting and steels herself, ready to rule the new land and balance the demands of her country and her heart.

1x01 Pilot

Mary almost catching Francis with another woman was a little predictable and thing would of turned out so different if she had drank the wine

TOP

This has now been added to the flash site

TOP

1x02 Snakes in the Garden

Clarissa roaming the secret tunnels without being seen was interesting and the woman pretending to be poisoned was a strange way to scare Mary

What a shame for Greer having her eye on Tomas when he has his eye on Mary and as he can help with the troubles in Scotland she has a tough choice

TOP

1x04 Hearts and Minds

Mary agreeing to sign the whores statement for King Henry to let her out of her engagement to Prince Francis was a risky move but Tomas getting her a wiping boy just show what sort of a monster he is and he wont be missed

TOP

1x05 A Chill in the Air

Sending the coach through the woods was obviously a trap but the fact he was tipped for the information about the kings road was flooded I found amusing and Aylee being forced to spy on Mary should be interesting as Mary knows

TOP

1x06 Chosen

How on earth did they get the stags head passed everyone to hang it above Mary's bed, drugging Mary and her guard I understand but finding out it was one of the guards made sense and Kenna coming clean with the girls about her affair with the King I thought would backfire

Waiting for the king to leave to take over the castle and hold everyone hostage was a surprising move but trust Olivia to spoil the girls escape and Catherine's back up plan was impressive

TOP

Reply 32#32 bala's post

Kenna being mistaken for Diane was lucky as she figured out what her plan but telling Catherine was a mistake and Nostradamus telling Mary of his prophecy did make things interesting

TOP

1x09 For King and Country

Henry threatening to kill Bash if she don't go through with the marriage was bizarre but going with Mary's third option was a surprise and Catherine being held prisoner was karma for all her evil doings

TOP

1x10 Sacrifice

I thought right from the start that Isobel looked like she had a tie to Bash but Mary trying to help free her after she was wrongly imprisoned was predictable but tragic she died after giving birth, Catherine's imprisonment was amusing as Mary was determined to make her suffer but Lola blackmailing Catherine was incredible

TOP

1x11 Inquisition

Catherine using the baby to try and save her head was predictable but the way she unwrapped the bandage it looked like she already knew and Henry almost cutting the guards head off was a surprise, Catherine being overcome by the poison meant to kill Mary was careless

TOP

1x12 Royal Blood

Clarissa kidnapping Henry and Catherine's children as a way to punish Catherine was a surprise as Bash was trying to get them out the country and who would of thought Mary would kill her to save the boys

TOP

1x13 The Consummation

Catherine organising her own beheading was bizarre and could Nostradamus life be in danger for being responsible for Mary going against her mother, Marie de Guise wishes but the was she got her own way was sneaky, Catherine's blank piece of paper was a surprising way for Mary to make her own mind of who to marry

TOP

1x14 Dirty Laundry

King Henry's latest conquest falling out the window was surprising but being forced to ask for Catherine's help was ironic but using the dead priest as her lover was quick thinking

TOP

1x15 The Darkness

Another of King Henry's latest conquest dying is startling so soon after the last one fell from the window and Francis confiding in Mary about sleeping with Lola put her in an awkward position as she knows she pregnant

TOP

1x16 Monsters

Penelope taking control of the king was amusing and Bash saving Francis's life was a stroke of luck as the king would of killed him

TOP

Mary was lucky she was told about the secret clause in her marriage contract and Mary getting her first taste of power as the Queen of Scots was short lived thanks to Catherine but at leased the contract was burnt

TOP

1x18 No Exit

I thought Lola was lucky Julien still agreed to marry her after telling him about being pregnant but there does seem to be a ulterior motive behind his marriage proposal and James convincing Mary to return to Scotland was interesting as someone wants her dead so James can be king
