** The show [[http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/reign-season-two-ratings-34217/ has been bleeding viewers]] throughout season two, and is [[http://headlineplanet.com/home/2015/02/06/ratings-cws-reign-struggles-crowded-timeslot/ currently at less than a million]].

** The whole story arc surrounding [[spoiler: Mary being raped: the scene itself, her HeroicBSOD, Catherine using her own experience to help her through it, her having to pretend that nothing happened to save face, Francis's guilt for the role he played in it, her anger at him for the very same, everyone being really worried about her, and the subsequent psychological issues she develops because of it. To add salt to that wound, just as she was ready to reconcile with Francis, she found him asleep with Lola and their son.]]

the Ship Tease in s2 nullifies this
Deleted line(s) 15 (click to see context) :
* ShipSinking: [[spoiler: Greer and Leith are separated after they were found kissing. She has to marry someone else and he's forced to leave the palace. He returns a war hero with land, but its still not enough for Greer to be able to save her family (her father's debts are too high, and most importantly, she won't abandon her sisters and the dowry Castleroy promised each would get if they married with Greer's own approval) and they part on bad terms.]]

** Ironically, it ''may'' be character development for Mary; we do not know in history as to [[spoiler: why she hated Protestants]] which caused her to lose her throne... We do now, unfortunately.
