BBC MUSKETEERS: thread 86. There's treason at the palace and treason at the BBC. Give us back our Musketeers.

[AnneOfAramis]

Here we are again. Grab a Beardy Fucker, pull up a chaise and LetUs (nto) all fall into a drunken stupor.

Start as we mean to go on.

I think I do even less on the weeks I'm not working very much, how is that possible?!

Afternoon all.

How pathetic is it that I am narked that the short range weather forecast changed last night and instead of the rain as predicted yesterday at 3pm, we actually have a dry, warm (c. 10degC) day with a good breeze? In other words a perfect drying day. Did I put anything on last night? Did I hang anything out this morning? Did I buggery.

Afternoon

It's an expensive business having crap eyesight

Understandable you didn't want to confront her elk (I'd probably be the same, except when I'm pre-menstrual. But funnily enough, people often back down pretty rapidly when I am, so removing the need for confrontation )

sparks, I think I love you for getting JP to post the non-red nose pic (still would with the red nose though, just thought I'd make that clear)

It is possible to be in the mood for ironing badders - it happens when you have a program saved up to watch & it's full of hot beardy fuckers.

Not pathetic at all issy, I also decided against putting any washing on when I got up as the forecast wasn't so good later. Am regretting it now.

Am going to put second load on the line to dry now... first load turned out not to be clean (DS losing tooth bled all over his newly clean sheet (sods law) and the vanish didn't get it out. Grrr.)

No problem mouse

Sorry I didn't get to read the Web chat.

fancy I think I could quite fancy queenie myself.

I think my dh would prefer constance or milady if asked. So no aramis/ queenie swap for me.
Probably milady as she is very independent with Connie's looks.

I think the Queen has got more & more beautiful as they've made her 'softer' in S2 - more loose/casual hair, less of the severe up-do's. I guess all that Arattention is giving her a bit of a glow too

Can't decide if it's her or Milady I have my biggest girl crush on.

Afternoon! We're at the caravan, it's chucking it down and the wifi is shit. Still, it's a break.

Have only read the last page. Well done Elk with the Landrover. That'll teach her.

Lyndie it's Parkinson's Law I think. Something about work expanding to fill the time available. Happens to me all the time.

The general's daughter was very beautiful too.

Do the musketeers have a gay following at all? Just interested.

MoreLike Oh yes... have you not seen the slash fanfic out there?

Although it's not just the gay fans that like the slash fic.

Queenie has a lot going for her - she very beautiful, I like the way the character has been written & Ithink the actress does a great job too. Think I may have a bit of a girl crush!

I do cheer every time Milady sasses someone though. Or shoots them . She's a great character

I am so new to this thread I fear I have missed alot!

If you have to bleach your eyeballs and brain I may enquire no further.

I just wondered as I couldn't believe it would only be wenches would admire the musketeer buffness!

I do think milady is a fab character. We do need female characters who are completely independent of the men. Queenie is pretty strong as queens go (and much more so than kingy) but she does need a strong musketeer to protect her in a way that milady never would.

OK milady is cold hearted murder (murderess??) at the moment but you can't have everything.

Queenie is stunning but I liked her darker S1 hair.

Of all the female leads it's milady I warm to the most.
Ok, she's a vicious assassin with no moral code.... But she wears great frocks and I like her swagger :)
Queenie is too vanilla.
And connie is just irritating.

Marg's not getting many votes here, is she?

or Catherine!....
I loved mother superior too :( RIP

Milady is the more exciting character definitely. I like how Queenie shows the person behind all that privilege though.

Constance has been very weak around Dog in s2, she needs to give him a slap and tell him to stop pushing her around

He can come & push me around if he wants.

It's Thursday.

Mother Superior is still my favourite female character.

He can come (ylt) & push me around too, but I'd give him a slap. He needs to be trained

Well bearing in mind my current state of turmoil, stress and upset I am sure team Athos ain't mind him spending a bit of quality time with me?
For medicinal purposes you understand....
:)
Poor love.
He won't be able to walk when I've finished with him.

She was fantastic wasn't she chaise? I loved how she waited until the attackers were nearly at the top of the wall before cutting the ropes

Sparks I totally love your link.
I miss series 1.
Series 2 is fxxking shite.

Has anyone laughed this series? Nope, thought not. Have the musketeets laughed? No.
Any witty bits that have really made you giggle? No.

Sort it out Adrian. This series is missing everything about what made series 1 so fab.

I disagree. I think it's got the 4 main things that made S1 so fab

Right. I have a governors' meeting this evening. I need to do some prep & I need to keep me awake.

If you see me on here before 9pm, kick me. Hard.

See you later
