Jack of All Trades (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Fluffy Fashion Feathers]]: Feather boas are part of the outfits in the Marquis de Sade's island.

* [[Good People Have Good Sex]]: Avoided in the Marquis de Sade episode. Bondage =/= evil.

** Catherine the Great, meanwhile, was [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Ephiny]].

* [[Historical Domain Character]]: All over the place, from Napoleon to Ben Franklin to the Marquis de Sade to Catherine the Great. Pretty much anyone who could even ''vaguely'' be expected to show up in the early 1800s give or take a decade or three (Franklin and Catherine had already been dead for years by the time of the show, for example.)

* [[Riding the Bomb]]: Blackbeard, of all people.

* [[Selective Magnetism]]: Applied to the Governor's armor to avert an execution.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: You would think the US and France would have good relations in 1801, except for an undeclared, seldom remembered war between the US and France, called the Quasi-War. The US hated both Britain and France at the time, and many Americans even hated the French much more. The 1801 setting is also surprisingly appropriate for the [[Cold War]]-esque nature of the Britain vs. France conflict in the show. It takes place during (technically, just prior to) the Peace of Amiens, a brief period when Britain and France were not actually at war with each other.

* [[Talk Like a Pirate]]: Blackbeard, of course!
