Epic indeed. :) BTW, are you are of this upcoming miniseries about Catherine starring Helen Mirren? It's Catherine in her old age, so no possibility of a Fritz cameo (unless there are flashbacks?), but it looks great. And this second trailer with different material contains this great bit of Catherine sass: "There are unscrupulous people in Russia. Fortunately, I am one of them."
(Alas if it's about her old age, though, we won't get away from the depressing fact her son hated her guts and banned women from the throne the minute she died. She had intended to pass him over in favour of her grandson Alexander, but didn't get to it before dying. Otoh her son then ended up murdered after a relatively short reign just as his legal father had done - legal because he may not have been Peter III's biological kid -, with Alexander ascending anyway.)
