* SpecialEffectsFailure: The Minotaur in the first episode is clearly just a man with fake horns.
* UnfortunateImplications: "The Blessing" reeks of DarkestAfrica. In the original version of the "The One Handed Girl," the heroine's husband is a prince and the son of a Sultan. Here, he's been downgraded to the son of a chief. This can't even be excused as historical accuracy, as the story is from Zanzibar, which was historically a Sultanate and was also ruled by the Sultanate of Omar. Likewise, he and his family live in grass huts despite the original story said they lived in a palace with servants.
** Likewise, the episode is explicitly set in a desert. Zanzibar is made up of tropical islands. It would have been more accurate to have filmed on a beach!

** Arguably a BrokenAesop, too, since the mythical Blodeuwedd was a murderous BitchInSheepsClothing who really didn't have any redeeming qualities outside of her beauty, yet the episode portrays her sympathetically because it's so hard being beautiful. The episode seems to have the message, "It's okay for pretty people to kill their loved ones because it's just so damn hard being pretty."
