BBC MUSKETEERS; Swagger on Inn it's thread 85! Who's your daddy Porthos? Will Roquefort survive?

[FolknNorah]

Yes! We are still here, for episode, er, 7? 8? so feast your eyes on the hot, leather wearing beardy fuckersz!
Everyone welcome, so don't to be shy, come on in.

Ok, so watching Poldark. So far seems a bit clean and not rugged enough, but I do like those wine glasses..

I quite enjoyed the fighty bit at the beginning mavis

Lots of corsets and heaving bosoms too mavis

I also quite like a military uniform (which will come as a surprise to no-one)

And the horses, oh quite a few of the bits I like from TM

Yep fancy much prefer the uniform. But the long coat is quite nice.

DD interrupted so I'm a bit behind now.

A billowy shirt would be nice

And again! FFS, why can my children not sort out their feckin' PE kits when I ask them to & not leave it 'til an inconvenient time.

I do like the grubby wall mending though....

DS1's verdict: ALL FOUR for the chop!

"It'll finish off all 4 story arcs nicely. Wrecked."

He's not doing your nerves any good is he sparks?

Think I've just lowered the tone on the Poldark thread.....

Right ho hey off to bed. Poldark was ok but I don't think I can manage 5 seasons of staring whistfully from the top of a horse over a cliff. The Cornish Tourist peeps will be cashing in though.

Night all.

Well I was a bit meh about that until the fight with Demelza's family.

I also rather liked the moment when it looked like he was going to let Francis drown. Not sure what this says about me.

My best uni friend is watching so we were texting throughout. We haven't done that for ages, particularly since he got a gf (also my friend) so that was nice.

I enjoyed it but I don't know how it'll last 5 seasons. The forsyte saga only lasted 2.

Night mavis

Agreed was ok, AT was hot, as expected, but I didn't warm to any of the other characters much. Demelza has potential to improve & I quite liked Verity, but suspect I will be annoyed at her being written as the plain sister - nice but destined to be an old maid. All other men were completely un-hot. The opposite of FAF. No swagger.

AT was hit and miss for me. I had a couple of, oh maybe moments:

1. As a red coat
2. When he was all up in Elizabeth's face
3. When he watched Francis drowning
4. When he was getting the shit kicked out if him and the bruised and bleeding result

Ooh, I liked the Forsyte Saga too mouse, although I sympathised more with Soames than I felt comfortable with, that's the Damian Lewis effect I guess. (Irene as a character gets right on my tits too - both in the book and on screen. Complete wet lettuce)

It was a big yes from me for the red coat too anne

Also the marketplace part when he hits the chap with his cane - very hot

I agree with Ross being the only one that was interesting worth shagging.

fancy soames always gave me the heebie jeebies. I loved young Jolyon, Montague and Val Dartie and the architect Ioan Gruffudd plays. But he was so wet I've forgotten his name.

Someone on the second Poldark thread is already suggesting a Cornwall piss up.

This tickled me from our very own Alibabs:

I am not defecting, I am thinking of this as a kind of sabbatical. To return refreshed to the day job

Oh and I liked the wee scruffy dog. He was cute. Nothing bad happens to him right?

well I watched the Bourne Legacy again

There was a lot of intense staring, running up walls, wearing of leather, smashing the shit out of bad men in an incredibly hot way, motorbike chases, rescuing rachel weisz, and sweaty nipples

I feel quite unusual.

Thats a bit better.

Its musketeers the 21st century. Seriously, give it a look. Sounds way better than Poldark.

Verity I like as a character but it takes her a long time to get to where she wants to be, but when she does (I think about BM 4 in the series), she seriously upsets he apple carts.

As for the rest, it was rather ho him. I have a feeling that it may make more sense if you've read the books. Plus the house they have for Nampara looks just too small - there's supposed to be a wing with a book room on the ground floor which was built by Ross's father in the 'modern style'.

Soames was seriously creepy, especially as he got older, you're right mouse, & all the more creepy because it was DL & I find it hard to hate any character he plays.

I wasn't that keen on young Jolyon, he was a shit to his own wife & then lectured Soames. June pissed me off, but not as much as Irene, couldn't see what all the fuss was about with her at all. I did enjoy it though , and the books.
