I've got a feeling...that tonight's gonna be a good night

Help yourself to an ADMIT ONE pass if you're a fan of The Musketeers with a clear allegiance to at least one, preferably no more than four.

And building on Helen's letter idea, they could refer back to the book where Connie and the Musketeers have to get Queenie's diamonds back.

FancyFancy · 09/01/2015 23:02

No, she didn't comment on that one, I was squirming in case she did! Dog is her favourite, so she gets a bit shy about mentioning him. She joins in the rest of the stock comments - snarky Athos, Porthos throwing things, nanny hating etc, but only really talks about Dog being with Connie.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 09/01/2015 23:02

Are you a Bonnaire fan Anne?

Watched that episode last week, it is a good one.

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 09/01/2015 23:06

Oh FFS. Someone other than me is going to get this job Sad WAILLLLLL.

Perhaps I'll just offer to do it for nothing if they overlook all 4 of the experience requirements

Ok, that's enough for me - off to the hayloft...

ZZZzzzzzzzzzz

AnneOfAramis · 09/01/2015 23:07

It's my favourite episode Ali. Bonaire has the most fabulous lines, it has Athos being all angsty, doors, wine, shooting, angry aramis, Aramis watching Madame Bonaire fight. Dog snarky. Cardinal life depending on it and finally Aramis and whipping.

Do you know what wrenches, DH is out so I get to do this for the third time tomorrow.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 09/01/2015 23:10

Night Helen

I think my favourite is still the nuns, Athos has such great lines in that one, and the blue-eyed stand-off outside the convent.

FancyFancy · 09/01/2015 23:10

sparks the bit where Aramis turned up late & didn't have a clue what was going on was just about my favourite bit (apart from his disinterest in negligent nanny)

FancyFancy · 09/01/2015 23:13

Night helen

the nuns episode is my favourite too alibabs, Mother Superior is the dog's (nto) bollocks, snarky Athos & Aramis looking FAF for so much of the episode. Plus the Kingy & Queen reunion is rather sweet.

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 09/01/2015 23:20

Yep, nuns my fave too. If you have to ask why, you ain't a wench.

AnneOfAramis · 09/01/2015 23:22

Nuns are my second. It is pretty tight, but those two stand out.

Right I have a date with bridget Jones and Mark Darcy - just going to take some of these grips to hand out.

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 09/01/2015 23:23

Where is Comtess?????? She's not been in all day Sad

FancyFancy · 09/01/2015 23:36

Good question sparks, was she having to do taxi duties tonight? I know she said Fridays could be tricky for her because of that.

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 09/01/2015 23:39

Fucking hell. Look what the woman who is Gorgeous Aramis on Tumblr & Twitter has just written:

^Rant

So at some point there will musketeers in The Musketeers right.

If this is the way s2 is going to go on, think I shall not bother watching.

That whole sorry episode jarred, I’d rather rip the skin off my face than watch any of it ever again.

I’m very disappointed about what is happening to my favourite show.

I’m fully aware that nobody cares about my opinion so just skip on past this post. I shall delete it once I stop being so pissed off about it.

Ps just because Aramis singing to a baby in S1 made ovaries explode across the globe, does not mean we need it every season, particularly when it is so forced and the producers and writers can’t think of anything better to do.^

Wow.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 09/01/2015 23:46

first time in years I watched GH! I thoroughly enjoyed it. everyone was great. Hozier is FAF Hmm. I claimed it first even though he's bait camp but if it's good enough for Team Aramis….

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 09/01/2015 23:47

eh? she's talking shit Angry. it was a great episode!

FancyFancy · 09/01/2015 23:57

You're welcome to him drink

What is her problem? Has she got a cob on because the episode seemed a bit Aramis light? It wasn't my favourite, but I enjoyed the scheming and it was great to have Milady back. I hope she doesn't team up with Rochefort as the possibilities raised by both her and him plotting separately would be excellent and be a different dynamic than the last series. And the bit about him singing to babies? Well I guess last series was to set up the scene today & it's not like he sang a full fucking opera was it?

Jeez, take a chill pill.

LaComtess · 10/01/2015 01:30

Evening all! ie Mirning!

Just in from my fucking book group. I've been forced to drown my sorrows of not being in to watch.

Adrian - Feiday screenings Fucjs the whole thing up for me. Grrrr.

I've put a line through Fridays until March. No fucking social events THANK YIU.

Haven't RTFT but due to the magic of Twutter HOWEVER I did have time to watch the Londob Live thing twice before I went out.

Sparks I don't know where you found it but FMWAV. Tom is all funny and does as VERY attractive leg thing which I will have to get the lovely Apricot to gif me, and is all funny and gorgeous and FM Santi is giving done very interesting spreadage/hand action. That has actually saved today from being totally wasted.

So I've done a proper Athos and even managed to spill wine down my front tonight. Classy. None of the vets drink. Suspicious.

I've got to get up at shit O clock for the rugby. Hopeful to have 3G tomorrow. When am I going to get to watch

Hope you've all had x lovely time watching and wenching

Xxxx

Enormouse · 10/01/2015 07:40

Morning lovely Wenches. Things have been pretty shit but better now and I am back off my short hiatus.

I've been up since 5.30 as its blowing like mad here. Didn't manage to watch last night as the tv signal was completely fucked up by the gale. Ended up watching guardians of the galaxy instead. Between the wind and Mr M's snoring I have not slept at all. Surprisingly, baby, toddler and manshape are still asleep. Hmm

How's the wind everywhere else? Hope you're all managing to sleep through it.

Carolina2015 · 10/01/2015 07:58

Morning Mouse!

Quite windy here but clearly not as bad as you

Travelledtheworld · 10/01/2015 08:11

Morning Wenches.
Windy down here in the SW.
Missed last night too but catching up on the iPlayer.
Though I am usually an Athos fam I am Loving Porthos in the Blacksmiths shop.
He really is the most credible Musketeer, so tough. No nonsense. Not sentimental.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 10/01/2015 08:16

Morning! Great episode and anyone who says otherwise is a cunt.

Travelledtheworld · 10/01/2015 08:20

Hmm, love the way Milady says " they are FITTEST men here".

Baddz · 10/01/2015 08:27

I thought it was good.
Not in commodities or knight takes queen league, but good.
We are only 2 episodes in, the first series didn't get really going til episode 3 IMO (commodities)
This series seems to be following last series in the way it focuses on one musketeer each episode.
Why is that surprising to gorgeous aramis?
She sounds a but unhinged tbh Hmm

ApricotCrush · 10/01/2015 09:15

Morning! It's blowing a gale here too. Don't think I’ll be doing much today, except having a rewatch. Shame that the Gorgeous Aramis girl was so disappointed she felt it necessary to rant. DH thought it was the best of the 12 so far. My fave is still Commodities, but last night's was good.

Comtess oh ye of little faith. The first thing I did after watching the London interview was make a gif. Grin It's on page 3, but to save you searching, here you are!
