Episode Goofs
At the end when the ships' guns fire on the French troops, men can be seen falling over well before the explosions.
When Mariette is guillotined, her hair suddenly goes from being tied back in a tight ponytail (as she's being strapped into the guillotine) to hanging loose around her face (as the blade falls and her head drops into the basket).
