Did I miss a memo or something?

Impressions:

This may be where I call it quits for this show as well. It was back to the princess and she remains as godawful a character as ever; perhaps even worse now that her bubble's burst. Her reaction is to throw an episode-long (and counting!) tantrum, and all the adults in the room are bending over backwards to protect her and accomodate her. Maybe it's supposed to be a parallel to current American politics. It's a poor juxtaposition against the constant doom and gloom of how outmatched they are in the war, how desperate the fight is, how badly they need leadership and every advantage, so on and so forth. None of those things so much that they might go against the whims of a temperamental 12 year old throwing a fit in her almost literal fairytale utopian castle though. Frankly, the nuclear lettuce last week was easier to swallow than the core dramatic conceits of her character.
