Swagger Inn Thread 76. BBC Musketeers. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

[SparklesRedHotChileLeather]

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.

It was me!

The official FB one I think. I only logged on after it had kicked off!

I'm not sure I'm on the right one then. Can't see anything. Why were they wanting it removed?!

OMG just seen Madame's post last night about Tom Burke/Marc Warren..

I HAVE TO SEE THAT!

sparks, I should have known!

Is that the BBC Musketeers accounts livia? (not on FB so have little idea what's going on over there)

Couldn't see anything on the official BBC Musketeers FB. Everyone seems to love it.

I've seen other trailers for Epi 3, but I haven't seen this one before.

I may have got confused, of course.

I was trying to skim past as much as possible so there were no spoilers, but I was playing a rather hot game of Peter Poker that night so I couldn't stay off Facebook entirely!

I've been looking at comments on the 'DigitalSpy' websites - are any of you on there? It's just that someone posted this comment:

I do believe that a poll for 'Which Musketeer would you kick out of bed?' might be the only poll in DS history to get no votes at all.

And tying in with my comments yesterday about the preponderence of slash fic in fandoms, a later poster on DS, whilst wondering why they don't warm to Connie, says they find her a bit inconsistent - too sweet one minute, too feisty another, suddenly getting better at sword fighting than trained soldiers... "A bit of a Mary-Sue, I think".

And that's what writers of female characters are up against. It conveniently forgets that so many male characters are male equivalents for their male writers. I've lost count of how many times I see middle-aged men in tv/films copping off with beautiful young women & think 'oh god not another middle aged male writer's wank fantasy'

Off to look at apricots's link to revive my mood

I'm clicking on that ep 3 link for the sole reason that it's from the Beeb so can't be that spoilery.

And also cos I could do with some FAF.

Well that was bit erm..... wanting on the FAF front

How far are they going to go with the Rochefort fantasy then? Are we going to justify that 9pm watershed Adrian?

Jeeez, that guy have an even worse accent than me

That Rochefort pervy role-play fantasy is a bit for me. I'd find that a lot harder to explain to DD than a bit of straight forward sex. So far we've had quite a bit of realism wrt expilicit referencing of prostitution & brothels, a few more graphic deaths and a nekkid female bum. And less sex scenes than series 1. Strange priorities, given the audience.

Agree completely Fancy! What's wrong with a roll in the hay starring a nekkid musketeer Athos

I've just realised I haven't downloaded ep 2 from iPlayer. Have we all remembered to do it?

#WenchesDoPrague

explicit

Nothing wrong with it at all ww . And we're not that fussy or demanding - a roll in the hay, a romp in bed, a knee-trembler down a dark alley (not so dark we can't see anything mind), a quickie on the kitchen table - any of them would be fine.

Thanks for the reminder sparks

Says on iPlayer that TM is 5th most popular show on iPlayer today, behind The Voice, Last Tango, Eastenders & GN. If we downlaod on enough devices can we get it up the list?

livia sorry for over egging state of play..
you dont actually see them shag. Just a bit of tom flirting.

Yaay I have internet again. The wind knocked it out for a bit but I have wifi again.

Hi mouse, glad you have internet back, is the weather calmer where you are now?

Hello darling wenches

In a hustle just off to Spin class with new instructor, better not be too hard.... (nlt) (or maybe that would make it more interesting hahaha). Am wearing my gel padded shorts to protect my poor bottom.

Have just scarfed down THE MOST DISGUSTING ping meal at work so I can go straight to the gym. Waitrose, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Will be back later but:

1. APRICOT I think I love you . I've just been mesmerised by the gif whilst eating repulsive ping food. he's so fucking hot in this. Ahhhhhj!

2. well done Elk with the house despite the vom situ etc.

4. cheers for Mouse's wifi

5. question time. Badders do I need to read the books then in your expert opinion before I watch GOT?

6. Fancy - was hoping someone else would ask so I didn't have to look thick. What's a Mary Sue? V interesting ref DSpy reviews think I will read some later - any chance of a link .

Liv/sparks please enlighten ref this page!

right I'm orf to kill my poor glutes. I'm all out BACK ON THE WAGON. My fitness pal, gym, classes and NO WINE. At least I have Tom Burke, otherwise January would be totally unbearable.

Plus it's raining nasty and I've left my coat and brolly in the car. Fucjsajez ~Czech for Fucksake.

Apricot - realised I didn't actually say thank you for the gif there. THANK YOU

Good luck with the spin class comtess, hope your bottom is ok

best definition of a Mary-Sue I've found

Hopefully this'll take you to the page where they start discussing this series, you lazy old cow

fancy it died down towards the beginning of the afternoon. It was actually quite nice out after that - bright and clear. I managed to get into the nearest small town with babymouse and we had lunch together.

Thanks for the gif and the pic Apricot.

Comtess, I think the facebook page being talked about is this one...

They posted this message...

We just wanted to thank all the lovely fans that commented with us tonight. We've sadly had a lot of abusive messages tonight saying we should shut the page down, we have also been reported to Facebook. Thankfully as we have done nothing wrong we are still here, and the offenders have now been removed from the page. So thanks for making our night better x
