Roll up, Roll up, get your leather clad, beardy goods here...... [free pube snogs included]

His hair looks really short now in the S1 videos. I don't want it any longer than it is now for S3 ta v much hair & make-up

Evening wenches. Hurrah for Elk getting to watch it!!

Was thinking the same thing Lyndie and Madame re Reynard's son's death. I did feel sorry for him which made me think how well that scene was done and he wasn't just a two dimensional bad guy.

I've mostly forgotten everything else

I have a feeling it might be Milady who dies either at the hand of the vengeful Catherine or the sneaky Rochefort. I would prefer Marguerite to cop for it though. I am starting to really like Milady.

Did Thomas try it on though?
We didn't find out, did we?
Blimey.
I bet Athos finds out that Thomas did attack Anne and Catherine kills her!
Was Catherine complicit?
Hmmm.....

Go Queenie

Oh that's fab Sparks
Madame re. plot hole. I seem to remember there was something about Milady having concealed it from her maid too, but I've no idea how - 17th Century concealer stick?
Carolina good summary

Eveneing everyone, just catching up before cracking on with some ironing

@ helen's Musketeer H&S comment

I had a lot of Vertbaudet clothes - French clothes seem to have a slimmer cut which was perfect for my two, but needed to buy an age up as they were both tall. I'd religiously work out which voucher gave the most money off, but then I'm an accountant

Aramis was limping sparks? I completely missed that. Any scene in particular?

Phwoarlords madame

OMFG that Aramis & Anne vid. So Fucking Hot. Thank you sparks

I had that same thought about the book madame, maybe that's why they departed from the book in this instance - I think a modern audience would never believe he hadn't seen the brand!

Oh God I can't remember where I saw the limp. I think he was walking away from the camera with Dog. Could've been round about the time of 'truly alive'. Dammit, I'm going to have to watch again, aren't I?

Well you don't have to! It would be a terrible chore but I could just watch it all over again myself. Such a hardship

No. I insist. I will sacrifice myself for the limp.

Fancy I can't taek the credit I'm afraid - it's from RedScharlach again as is the Hat one.

Thanks Carolina that's very helpful! I must read the book just in case!

Hmm could she have insisted on wearing a corset or chemise all the time? Unlikely I suppose. Or do something horrific like cut it off, so it just looked like another bad scar?

I noticed so much more the second time, I think my brain wasn't working properly the episode was so exciting!

Very close runner to episode 1 for my favourite in S2.

Love those, thanks helen

I appreciate the sacrifice sparks

I'VE MISSED YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
I have NRASRN so apologies.

Life is bloody manic at the moment...I can keep up with FB and that's it. I just wanted to share something with ma wenches. DD asked to watch TM tonight, series 1 episode 1 and being the good mother I am and as the man shapes were watching football I agreed. She loved it, although she did drive me nuts asking stupid questions like, "how can she (Adele) be Aramis' girlfriend if she's the Dr Who one's girlfriend". Apparently it's bad form to his FFS.

One thing that made me smile was when she watched the iconic Athos-getting-out-of-bed scene, she said, "Oh, so that's what you were doing with your head in malc's paddling pool! pretending to be Athos!"

ILYA

hiss not his.

Excellent parenting there flopsy

I LOVE how we're all such exemplary mothers when it comes to TM

#wenchskillz

Floppers

That was one of the highlights of Malcolmbury!!!!

Evening wenchi. I may have spent a lot of today transfixed by that gif set.

Just. Fucking. Wonderful.

I hadn't noticed Aramis limping, but then my attention was a bit captured. I need to rewatch again but that's a serious contender for best episode ever. Ever ever ever. Knight takes Queen may still beat it, but only just.

So pleased you finally got to watch it Elk. So.....analysis of the FAF chest? He has def beefed up a bit. And the chest hair....and nipple flash.... and the being tied up and wet....

I never shop with my two. Or with DH. It's all online. Next and Boden, but only Boden from eBay or when they send me the £20 off voucher at the same time as its 4 for 3. And Quidco. Then I eBay / FB sell them on when outgrown so works out pretty good ££ wise. Bit of Sainsbos Tu stuff as well. And there is a strong hand on / clothes swap culture here so we all get and give bags of clothes, usually in return for a bottle of wine.

Maybe they are just not doing the tattoo for Milady? Pretty sure we would have seen it by now. The throat scar seems to have taken it's place. And I still think it's Kingy who dies. S3 Regency and Mazarin as baddy.

Arf at your DD recognising Musketeer moments Flops. #parentingdoneright

Hope this week slows down for you a bit.

sparjs madam helen et al, although it seems odd to us, there's a reasonable amount of evidence that people in the 17thC and 18thC just didn't get naked as stem as we do, even when having season as far a Dimas was concerned it wouldn't have been too far fetched for Athos not to have seen milady's shoulder blade. (Not that I've read rather a lot of book on sex through history or anything...)

Of course you haven't issy, in fact I just can't imagine any wench doing that .

I keep changing my mind on who I think will die/not die. I think The Musketeers & Queenie are ok. Treville & Connie prob ok. Milady/Rochefort/Kingy - maybe. The Regency would be a good plot - lots of political shenanigans there, Milady would be in trouble though. All Maimie's talk of Milady's character & feeling sorry for her makes me wonder if she dies heroically or whether she lives but does something heroic - kills Rochefort maybe? But then Catherine happened. Gah!! I have no ideas really

Boden just oddly shaped for my kids (only tried on their sales but has meant I haven't bothered on eBay, their petite range however fits me very well!). Love ebay generally for the kids but agree postage now makes it less worthwhile Both to buy and sell (still do both).
