2.8 — The Blood of Juana the Mad
Manage episode 180709416 series 1250372
The Awkward Episode. We’ve decided this is also the AU (Alternate Universe) episode. Phryne and Jack are not quite themselves, and everything’s just a little off. Plus, the plot is extra ridiculous—which is saying something!
What is the point of the Book of Hours in this show? WE HAVE NO IDEA. But Chandler explains their original function in ecclesiastical life, Mary reminisces about the role PBS kids’ shows played in her lifelong love of mysteries, and Chandler swoons over a folding step ladder and vents about a lampshade.
Stuff that comes up:
The Archimedes song from Square One
More on Books of Hours and Illuminated Manuscripts
Personification of Death at the beginning of the Office of the Dead, from an Italian Book of Hours, c. 1470-1480, Hart 20966, f. 106v
Sketches from Chandler’s notes
