Swagger Inn 80 - What Do We Want? MUSKETEERS IN BILLOWY SHIRTS! When do we want them? Erm... All the time actually please.

[LetUsPrey]

I like to be polite.

Come on in wenches.

Just over 24 hours to go!

Psssst! Your corset's on backwards!

Best. Tweet. Ever.

Night ww.

Right wenches I have shit to do. I still have 10 balloons to blow . I might be slightly high from the plastic I've been breathing in. I also need to try and repress the memory of babymouses arrival into the world at 5.45am, waving.

Oooof!

Just finished watch after late start, wee break and then I rewound the Athos and Milady in the market a few times.

obviously not enough Athos but some nice leaning action.

Plus I very much like the bit when they're at the Spanish ambassadors and he says 'when we are quite ready'

BBC One ?@BBCOne 46m46 minutes ago
@charlottesalt If only Marguerite knew that Aramis was spreading his 'fondness' elsewhere...

OOft, that was fab, despite sodding RL interfering.

Soup and AA (Alcoholic Athos) rehab were fab. I sooo wanted to shout at the tv that I would happily go into rehab if I had Athos doing the looking after, but not v. appropriate given my company

I initially thought that re the bridge Comtess - but it was much lower. So no.

mrsbeee - Sportacus may be squeaky clean but he was a gymnast - flexible & muscly

Oh cinn your friend

Of course Aramis tried the stare on Emilie & of course she was not immune. She's probably pregnant now

I nearly found myself saying to Queenie 'bet Aramis taught you a few tricks' & then remembered DD was in the room

So agree with anne that Milady should be the one to deal with Rochefort, it could result in lots of Athos looking conflicted

With respect elk, Fuck the fuck off from the Aramis queue

I'll give Treville a hug (unless there's a gap on the Aramis rota, in which case, sorry Trev love)

Cheshire Cat just about sums me up sparks, can't wait for a rewatch! Amazeballs indeed madame I'm glad you were able to watch it

Mouse - enjoy.

Wenches I must love you and leave you. DH working late so a rewatch on the cards for me at some point.

So we are pretty unanimous it seems, unlike after Ep 3.

Onwards & upwards Adrian...

And where the FUCK is that announcement hmmm????

I suppose the pub bit could be seen as slashy, but I just took at as the start of Athos coming apart at the seams. He's just been eavesdropping on dog/con discussing milady being the kings mistress after all, then the camera pan upwards and away after the Dog: wine?........Athos: yeah (in a really flat voice).... Meant to highlight his loneliness I thought.

Clearly you misunderstand how slash works if you think that mere creator intention is an impediment to making something slashy

Comtess no - that was a different bridge.
Sparks can you post the links to the tweets?

Am currenlty buried under a pile of cats.

Mouse - good luck tomorrow with party...

Sportacus - check

HOPES DESPERATELY that Milady fucks Rochfort up in a big way in the finale. I think that'd be best. just because you said it so brilliantly

Right really going to bed - see ye tomorrow.

night mouse & anne

Forgot to say how much I loved how pissed off Milady looked when Rochefort told her to leave the politics to the men. I reckon he's just signed his own death warrant with that remark. Up the sisterhood

Am off to hayloft now, to develop an addiction that will need curing

Mavis - YY to the T-shirt by the way.

Most of the tweets I've copied are @bbcone helen.

Not at all Muffin, I can totes see how it works.....I was having a chuckle at the BBC earlier for seemingly deliberately painting it that way - was re watching the scarf bit from ep2 with my ironing.

I've just been waiting for Athos to disintegrate over the whole milady business, and it thought that was the first sign of it, is all.

Right my lovelies, off to bed.

Looking forward to next episode already as it seems to be an Athos episode where he's been fighty in his billowy shirt which therefore means that Team Athos will be

Night wenches

mouse sorry I've missed you hope all goes really well tomorrow

anne

muffin um. I don't really know anything about slash stuff. Or how that might work.

elk I also saw that as a start of the unravel. We haven't seen him hit the wine like s1 yet, until tonight. Bless him.

At the risk of a sharp elbow from Aramis wenches, I must say that there was a very nice bit of chestage from Santi in the tent. The bit where he was handing out the dodgy mushroom soup. Top pec. Yum.

at fancy trying to keep it clean with DD. How is she now after the dental stuff ?

Night all.

Oh FFS. That's 2 of you that have mentioned chest in tent. I'm going back in cos i don't quite remember that well enough and I'm up on my own now so seems like a good opportunity, can do some fast-forwarding

BloodyElkFire you are, of course, completely correct about the scene highlighting Athos' loneliness and the beginnings of him coming apart at the seams. But nobody should ever let the intention get in the way of the slash which is probably also intentional, especially judging by what had been said about the Twitter feeds

Oh dear God flopsy it was so hard (nlt) to keep it appropriate at times! She's fine thanks, bit achey in one spot for a day or two, but nothing lots a bit of Calpol couldn't handle. Next stop - brace fitting

I shouldn't have just had that creme egg

Why's that elk? Are the new ones that bad?
