[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 444461, member: 19949"] I like the massacre too—or rather, the actual scene itself—though I didn't care for anything else about the Moldavian storyline, except perhaps Alexis's fascination with the idea that, if not she herself, then at least her daughter would marry into a royal family. What bothered me about Moldavia was that it was supposed to be like Monaco, yet did nothing to come across that way. Michael's mother should have been a famous singer from the fifties who married into the royal family and died in a yacht accident when Michael was young, though her body was never found. That mother could turn out to be Doris Day, who knows? I think that given how easily everyone involved escaped the cabin fire in the season 3 cliffhanger—and the fact that viewers didn't seem to mind—the producers didn't anticipate any backlash regarding the relatively low death toll of the massacre.
