My mom had noncon sex with the devil and all she got was this stupid fetus. I think that reached peak dead baby humor.

How about the Code's application is completely arbitrary because the Old Men are just making this stuff up as it suits them? While twirling their mustaches, smoking their Cubans, and stroking a Persian in an affably menacing manner, probably.

Maybe they pit their best students against each other because they don't care that much about having competent agents. They care about having agents who will kill for them without questioning whether doing so makes a lick of sense.

Thinking a bit more about Mick's backstory...I've seen a couple of comments that it's jarring how Dickensian orphan it is, but that part actually felt fitting to me. Because the BMoL are not the modern day UK, they're a throwback to the British Empire, and so Mick having a backstory out of their heyday makes sense.
