** When Telliagory [[spoiler: dies from a bullet wound he makes a comment about the irony that he lived too long to "die by the sword," since he had lived by one for so long. It seems like another example of his gently dark sense of humor, until you realize what he said to Durand's corpse: "I hope I die like you." Durand died in a swordfight, like an old-school knight. Thus Telliagory's last words are actually a lament for the end of French chivalry.]]
** The opening sequence [[spoiler: shows Robin shooting through the royal crest. This seems like it was done simply because it [[RuleOfCool looks cool]]; but in the final episode, Robin changes his name to Robespierre and becomes the leader of the French Revolution. Only after seeing the entire series do you realize what that scene was actually symbolizing.]]
* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler: So if Maximilien and Lia are half-siblings because they share the same father and Max's father was Louis XIV, does that mean D'Eon is also the son of Louis XIV and is thus the remaining heir to the throne after Maximilien dies?]]
** [[spoiler: Presumably Lia and D'Eon's mother married a nobleman whose surname was Beaumont. She had an affair with Louis XIV and conceived Lia while married to Beaumont. The affair ended and she then had D'Eon.]]

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Durand dies trying to save his friends after refusing to obey the King's orders to kill them. Bonus points for the fact that d'Eon is the one who's forced to kill him after he's been taken over by TheVirus - a compulsion placed on him to force him to carry out his orders. Just after it seems like d'Eon will be able to break the curse and save him.]]
** [[spoiler: Robin accidentally killing Teillagory is a big one, too.]]
** [[spoiler: Anna goes months waiting for D'eon to return, only to die less than a day before she would have seen him again. Oh, and she dies hallucinating that they're finally together.]]
*** Basically the series is one big TearJerker, since it deals with the subject of conflicting loyalties with no clear-cut answer.
