Swagger Inn Thread 126 :TREPIDATION. The wait for 'The Musketeers' S3 is killing us!

[Obs2016]

Dr Lemay will suggest a remedy for our angst. More boffing discussions? More re-watches?
We need something to soothe, as we wait for news of Series 3. Is the tonic more wine, cocktails and debauchery?
We're currently surviving on in The Night garden Manager, Jane Eyre and promises of Santi in Soccer Aid.

On we go wenches.......

Helen. you aren't getting any work done, are you?

Are you going to do this for all the good bits?

Awaits next instalment ........

Ooh, can I contribute one please? Through A Glass Darkly.
Royal carriages pull up outside the fortress at Chatillon to watch the eclipse.
King (looking up): Oh dear, it's come over all cloudy and looks like rain. Turn the carriages around, we're going back to the palace.
Queen: But Louis, I was hoping there might be an opportunity for an HBF to stage a daring rescue.
King: Oh do shut up Ann.
The End

Well
No hbf I'm afraid just a nice young Asian chap
So...I need orthotic insoles and need to rest

Christ. I am officially middle aged

It's the long slow march to grave now isn't it?
Fuck it
I'm going out with a bang (ylt)

Badders that sounds like a good excuse to go and rest on the chaise with a line of HBFs to tend to your every need.

Now, where was I... yep. I can, by dint of a quick re-write, get rid of almost all of the angst in the second series:
Option1 (ep1):
Athos: Ah - Rochfort - yep, you can hang him. In fact, we'll help to make sure it's done properly, though admittedly I don't have great form in officiating over effective hangings

Bless you Obs. Great news about the electric blanket. We're wimps, and have central heating at the caravan, so don't need one there. It gets really cosy.

Brilliant plot adjustments.

You could get rid of the whole series.

S1Ep1:
Dog: I'm looking for Athos.
Athos: You've found him.

Dog: Prepare to fight, one of us dies.
Aramis: Now that's the way to make an entrance.
Dog: Fight me or die on your knees.
Athos plunges sword into Dog's chest.
The End.

Sorry!

Apricot and Fluff

We can also remove Athos from the equation completely:
Milady: "He tried to force me!"
Athos: "Oh well, that's fine then. Bastard thoroughly deserved it. Not to worry, we'll just bury him... oh do shut up Catherine - find another mug to get betrothed to."

Aramis and Isabelle can get married as childhood sweethearts;
Porthos's father can grow some and not chuck them out at his father's request;
Dog can live out his life in happy obscurity in Gascony since fake Athos won't be needed to kill his father.

Treville will have fewer opportunities to look exasperated/disapproving and Queen Anne won't get her Muskebaby, but ho hey hum.

You're such a bunch of nutters

oh, look a new one. Fit us perfectly doesn't it

Duty, pleasure etc WW (ref. 'nutters')

I have to hang washing out - bollocks. Meant to do that several hours ago. (will detach headless rabbit from the hedge while I'm at it)

Episode rewrites remove all need for series at all... Which means the Muskie boys can come to the Tav and have a LOT of fun. Result!! Good work!

Awwww, thanks Wicked, I'm touched (re nutters compliment).
Freeing up those HBFs from the requirements of swashbuckling heroism can only be a good thing. They would be on hand (ylt) 24 hours a day.

Apparently I pronate (sp?) my feet and one leg is 1cm longer than than the other
I'm basically Quasimodo in drag
Orthotics ordered
FML

Tom's play Reasons to be Happy opens on Thursday, and for those of us who are going at some time during the run, this is an interesting insight into what happened previously:

Reasons to be Pretty Resource Pack

Warrrrgghhhhhhhhhhh, KLAXON KLAXON ETC ETC

Looks like April for S3, according to JP!!!

You know what that means Badders don't you? Another session on the chaise with doctor Athos. Unfortunately I don't have any Athos pics, but have Dr Aramis instead

Isn't that the woman from ITNG??
Lord thingys wife?

Yep, that's her

Oh thank you Apriot

And will our thirst for our Zmusketters be over in a few weeks???? Oh my???? ♥️♥️♥️

OMAFG - the wait is nearly over mid APRIL

Evidently I am so excited about upcoming Musketeers (ylt!!) that I can't type or finish sentences!!!

That was thanks Apricot for the link for the RTBP notes. xxxx

It's the end of the world as we know it...

Oops - page hadnt loaded and a million posts just appeared!

Wooooooooo!!!! Where does this info come from - jess on twitter?

Yes madame she posted it a little earlier - all very exciting

Am I overthinking this, but 'showing sometime from April onwards we think' sounds more like, 'could start in April or some time afterwards'? Or am I just locked into a negative spiral of thinking where the transmission date is concerned?
