I always love to ramble about Reign, and rambling via livejournal takes me back to the good old days of fandom, so. :D
How do you feel about the changes on the show since Francis has become King of France? I definitely felt like there was a shift where the show became grimmer and less engaging/romantic/generally delicious; however, part of that might be because King Henry was one of my faves and I would have liked to see him stick around for longer. (Which, I guess that wish came true in the strangest way ever!) I'm not sure if everyone agrees about the shift in tone, but it seems like a somewhat popular stance.
I do think that season two has foregrounded Francis's experience a bit too much; it felt like somewhere along the line, the main character became Francis instead of Mary, and I'm not down with that.
A few new characters have been introduced--Conde, Narcisse, & Claude--how do you feel about their characters?Conde kinda leaves me cold most of the time so far -- I am not often that into the nobly brooding menfolk, so he's

I agree with you, that it does seem like Francis has had the main arc this year and I don't like it. Even the storyline about Mary's rape seems to be more focused on him, and this just isn't the show I signed up for.
SHIPS!I feel so badly for poor Frary. I hope they get a really sentimental, beautiful reunion soon that somehow makes all of the agony worth it
