Swagger Inn Thread 123 - There's Whiskey in The Jar-o, so make mine a stiff one Mother S. And a whiskey while you're about it <winks>

[FancyFancy]

Welcome regulars and noobs - drinks are on the bar, do help youself. But can we give the jukebox a rest tonight? There are a few sore heads in here tonight.

Thank you all kindly

Just seen TB! And Denisov

Andrei noooooooooooooo

I miss the blue uniform.

Oh lovely. They've made me all teary.

This is being beautifully done

DH hasn't seen eps 3, 4 or 5 and most of this last one. He's just sat down as Dolokhov appeared and started with the "who's that? "what happened to suchabody?" etc etc. Shutupshutup.

Oh god the epilogue thank god

I have been crying buckets.

Andrei dying
Marya crying
Pierre rescuing child
I even cried for Helene, but frankly, 19th century literature - adulterous woman was never going to end well.

I smirked when the General said the winter would defeat Napoleon.

Oh no Ilya died!

Good on you Marya - at last someone with the brains & guts to say what they feel

Oh god. The whole thing. It was fantastic.

Well thank you for burning my tiny straw of hope that Anatole survived

Well.
That was excellent.

That was fab!

Not enough Dolocock as usual. But I know that he married a Swedish wench and they lived happily ever after

Sorry about getting it wrong and telling sparks that TB not in this episode. how stupid do I feel?

By the way, in the book the Dolokhov character is very very small. He features In a couple of poignant and very important bits of the story. But overall, minor, and not featuring often, not THAT much written about him, word for word.
They made the character big and had TB in every episode, which just isn't how it is in teh book.

Not that WE are complaining, but just saying.

Christ fancy, he had to go, he was scum.

I know obs, but he was hot. And we are wenches.

Dolokhov was at Rostov funeral as well. I'll have to read the funeral bit again, I doubt he would be mentioned. Artistic license I think.

So did the relevant wenches see the trailer for the Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston?

He does WW?

That was brilliant although I zoned out to catch up during the occupation and stuff.

Is it wrong that I sort of liked the French being there because I like the accent?

What's next then until Season 3?

It really made me cry at the end! In the epilogue part. Glad to hear it was not just me.

Oh it was absolutely brilliant!! Loved it.

Tom shouting at people in French was a high point for me. Dolokhov was made into a fantastic part for him.

I just loved it! Pierre and his sweet view on life, the prisoner with the dig, Nickolai turning out to be not such a twat, etc etc etc. It looked so beautiful.
