Line 9:
** Micheletto and della Rovere, with even further torture.
** Cesare and Machiavelli.
** Cesare and Djem in "The Moor", with Djem calling Cesare's name as he's dying and clutching him tightly.
** [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|Lucrezia and Giulia]] when the latter teaches the former how to kiss.
* [[Idiot Plot]]: After {{spoiler|Paolo's death Lucrezia refuses to feed her baby. While everyone is looking for a solution because the child is starving ''no one'' thinks about finding a wet nurse (an issue that had been talked about in the first episode, and never again)}}.
Line 18:
** The last two episodes of Season 1 show Lucrezia to be either a [[Magnificent Bitch]] or a [[Guile Hero]].
** The three of them each have subtley different takes on this trope. Rodrigo is at his best with one-on-one manipulation and charm. Cesare is mainly [[The Strategist]] and prefers to cleverly outwit the enemy rather than manipulate him. Lucrezia relies mainly on personal magnetism and an innocent persona that is only partly an act.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Ursula is referred to as [[SpongeBob SquarePants|Squidward]] on [[
** Any meme associated with [[Troll|trolling]] already and then put in conjunction with Juan. Hell, his nickname is "Juantroll".
*** It's become very popular on [[Tumblr]] to compare the Borgia family to the Bluths from ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''- particularly Cesare to Michael and Juan to GOB.
Line 35:
** Arguably, a male version {{spoiler|with Paolo. His story function was to give Lucrezia the natural-born son she may have had in history and a paramour whom she loved, then die tragically. He's more or less a [[Purity Sue]].}}
** And now, {{spoiler|Ursula is dead too. Since she's regarded as [[The Scrappy]] by most people, it's unlikely anyone will be too upset by this, even though Cesare all but lampshades the fact that her role was to make him more ruthless; "[her death] has released my heart of all emotions but one: vengeance".}}
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: The murder of {{spoiler|Paolo is more or less resolved in logical but very undramatic fashion in the first fifteen minutes of the episode following. Lucrezia remembers Paolo did not read or write and couldn't sign his name, much less leave a suicide note; she knows of only three people who even possibly knew about them and two of them, if not in favor, were at least accepting; and the third reacted violently to even the possiblity. She mentions Juan to Rodrigo, who confronts him with Cesare and their mother, and Juan admits it, because he's ''proud'' of "defending her honor".}}
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]'' meets ''[[The Sopranos]]''.
