Here we are, at the penultimate episode of our coverage of the Rose of Versailles. IRL, Joe is knee deep in Star Wars Rebels and books. Meanwhile, Sarah has been dating in Stardew Valley and IRL!

In the Rose of Versailles, the Revolution is here! Fighting erupts in Paris and Oscar and Andre must decide what they’re going to do! But first, they have to get together and elope. Finally, after 36 episodes, the couple gets together! Hurray! Just in time to die! They go full defection and try to fight their way though the Paris streets.

We close in on the end. In our real lives, Joe has watched the first episode of like four anime series and isn’t that confident in how they’ll turn out. Sarah, meanwhile, continues her quest to watch all of Survivor.

In the Rose of Versailles, things are kicking off. Oscar is dying and possibly turning traitor (thank god!) while Andre is trying to keep it together long enough to make it to the end of the show. At Versailles, Queen Marie is trying to tamp down dissent with force while King Louis doesn’t know what to do. The stage is set for the powder keg to blow. Only 4 episodes left!

This week, we inch our way to the end. But first, we talk about our personal lives. And we…have some trouble remembering what we did. Panic buy thing? Play games? Watch TV? Who can remember….

In the Rose of Versailles, the French Guard is tasked with protecting a Spanish Duke from the wicked Saint-Just. Will they succeed? And then, Oscar and Andre almost are victims of the mob but are saved by Fersen! Right before he…exits the story? Then it’s the Estate’s General! Lots going on!

This week we’re both feeling a bit under the weather. That didn’t stop us from doing stuff like going out till 2:30 am or hosting big meetings. Nope, we still did that stuff.

In the Rose of Versailles, everything changes. Oscar’s affection for Fersen boils over and she decides to change careers. This domino knocks down the next as Andre completely loses his cool and freaks out resulting in some odd scenes. Then we meet the French Guard. Tensions are high between the noble Oscar and the commoners in the guard. Will she be able to navigate this one? Will she swap loyalties? Can Oscar be saved??

This week the Black Knight arrives! But first, Joe and Sarah talk about their lives. Joe has been staying up too late and it’s brutal, while Sarah has been trying to rehouse the dog she found. It’s been a long one ya’ll.

In the Rose of Versailles, Fersen is back baby! He returns from France, and he’s totally over Marie. It’s True! And you know who else is over their crush? Oscar. She’s done. Done. Well…maybe just one dance… Then she distracts herself by persuing the Black Knight, a robin hood type guy. Oscar wants to catch him and Andre is eager to help. It goes real bad for him…

This week the Diamond Necklace Affair! But first we catch up. Joe went to Dallas and drank a lot. Woo hoo! Meanwhile, Sarah has watched Severance.

In the Rose of Versailles, Jeanne pulls off her biggest “prank” yet. She scams Rohan into buying an ungodly expensive necklace and then immediately gets caught. Then we all go to trial. It goes bad for pretty much everyone especially Marie Antoinette who wasn’t even there. Let’s see what else… Oscar is accused of being a lesbian and Rosalie gets kidnapped basically. It’s a really dense three episodes.

High drama this week as we round the half-way point of this show! IRL, Sarah has gone to see the live action Sailor Moon performance, which she definitely remembers that she did! And Joe watched Casablanca for the first time, so we are both sticking to the oldies around here.

In the Rose of Versailles we take a dark turn. First, we learn about Charlotte’s cursed fate as her mother marries her off. Then we check in to see how Fersen is doing, and it’s, uh, not great. Then we round it out with a Jeanne episode as she settles into her sexy evil villain trope with complete delight. Things are picking up folks and we’ll see where it goes!

This week, we near the series midpoint. In our actual lives, Joe has been watching Hunter x Hunter again and it’s, uh, happening. Sarah is getting into the hunter mindset as the new monster hunter has released.

We talk about other stuff too. In the Rose of Versailles, it’s REVENGE TIME! Oh, wait, I’m sorry. Did I say revenge time? I mean, TIME FOR EVERYONE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH OSCAR! Also, everyone runs into everyone else immediately. Rosalie sees Jeanne, Rosalie sees Polignac, Rosalie sees Fersen. Okay, I guess it’s all Rosalie this week. But that’s okay because she our favorite assassin!

This week, we're out for revenge! But first, we catch up on what we did this week... we did do something this week right? Oh yeah! Video games. We talk about video games and our disappointment with recent reality tv shows. Maybe if they added another island. That could fix it.

In the Rose of Versailles, Oscar learns that the peasant life isn't a good one. Things are deteriorating in the rural lands of France. Mean while, Marie Antoinette is gambling all of the riches of France to the real big bad, some opera singer. What was that? You thought Duke Orlean was the big bad? Pfft, idiot.

We return once more to check in on the new king and queen. But first, we catch up on things. Joe and Sarah have played some video games and we talk about them for a bit.

In the Rose of Versailles, we check back in with Jeanne and see how her life is progressing. Meanwhile Rosalie has the worst time. Queen Marie is failing miserably as Fersen goes back home. And Oscar gets into a duel. Pretty uneventful if you ask us…
