Swagger Inn: Thread 88. BBC Musketeers Countdown to Friday and the Finale. Wenches avoiding spoilers only need apply!

[Carolina2015]

Come on in to the spoiler free zone. Settle down and make yourselves at home

Welcome welcome.

I must say I agree wholeheartedly about

1. Athos obvs. (Carolina - she can't help but want to. You know it, I know it)
2. Milady's corset and bosom.
3. dog being too young.

Also very much agree ref Constance. She needs to show more of the fighty S1 side. She's frankly boring me most of the time to the point I'm thinking, Dog should be off with nudie bum lady from episode 1. Well not really, but well, it's all a bit dull.

I'm not sure about Trev you know. Despite Dr Lemay's pre-death amazing medical innovations, I don't think he got Viagra sorted, and I think he might need a bit of help. Just saying. Just saying.

Excellent.

And yes.

Though, I did wonder to the end whether they're actually preparing us for Dog (I'll join in with that name) to do something more interesting? Because she's at least twice told him she loves him, and each time he's looked slightly pained and said something else. Dunno. I'm just not reading searing passion there.

Nooo!

I cross posted. I love the idea of LeMay having old-time viagra. He totally would. He's already turned into Florence Nightingale, hasn't he?

Treville isn't that old.

Every now and then I wander over here in the hope that someone will be discussing the actual episodes, the plot and what happens in it but you all are just way to fast for me and always discussing.... er.... other stuff about the musketeers.

Isn't there a thread where I can just go "OMG that was such a fantastic episode!! I hope that shithead Rochefort gets his other eye poked out too and how dare he try it with the lovely Queen! And Milady and Athos in the secret hiding place.....! Phew! But I could feel that one coming. I wish she wasn't so evil but being evil is what makes her so good. And how on earth is Aramis going to get out of this one?!"

There. I've said it now. All off my chest. I'll leave you wenches to it... touches the tip of her three cornered hat and with a slight dip of the head, bows out and leaves

comtess re Trev How very dare you

I'd be willing to give it a try though, my cleavage could knock Milady's into a cocked hat, corset or no. Viagra schmiagra

TheDiet - I'd quite like to discuss actually episodes too. I was, about four posts ago. I just got .... distracted.

I am really enjoying what they've done with Rochfort. Especially since I guess they can't have had that much warning to know they were going to lose the Cardinal's character?

Diet the plot? Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaahaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaahhaaaaaaahhaaahahahaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaahaahahahaaaaaaaa

Ok time to feed everyone, so I'll leave you to it.

Anyone Poldarking later?

Coming to you live from my pre-Poldark bath. (Psst I think it's shirt off action in that tonight btw.)

I'll tell you what it is. I've gone off Constance more since watching that BTS VT. IMHO they have zero chemistry together. I want to believe, as we've said before, that the leads have been off shagging in the cast trailers and we are glimpsing this on screen. Nada for these two. Zip. And I do think Luca is doing his level best.

Wicked - one of my fave bits of that episode is Milady telling Marmion she'd rather die than hear him witter on. Too right love.

Milathos ooof

You're welcome

Well it looks as though many of us agree about Connie. That silly girlie voice she's been affecting of late has really started to grate.

Connie was feisty in S1 but has turned into a cross between a disney princess and the Bonnie Langford when she was still a child star in S2

Queenie and Milady so much better - Queenie's grown balls this series I have to admit!

Thanks for dropping by TheDiet Lovely to see you!

Sorry I was just feeling a bit devilish ref Trev. I know he was shot and all but I can't help but think he's in need of more stamina.

YY, agree, they have no chemistry at all.

I do enjoy that 'rather die' bit.

So do we think, in the last one, she knows Athos is going to dive in? Because I know she's super-cool and blasé about death, but I don't buy her walking into that. And she does say 'you were meant to be here before'. So is the implication they both know what's going to happen?

I'll forgive you on Trev. I'll leave him for the nun woman.

We do talk about the plot a little bit, we just also have other appreciations of .......um......the fine cast

Best time is during the actual episode, though it does all get a bit frantic and usually involves the lovely Norah telling Rochefort to fuck off a lot.

Evening all. Hoping to be a bit more present this week on the thread. About to go for my second re-watch (with some ironing) and then watching the weekly Cornish Tourist Information Promotional Video.

to all wenches, I've missed you the last few days

Constagnan snogging time and Trev is REALLY happy about it

Gawd. Re-watching and I do want to tell the actress who plays Connie that raising your chin and pouting isn't a substitute for acting. It seems to be her default response every time she's scared/being brave/making a decision/you name it.

I get the feeling they didn't really know how to write Connie this season.

Milady is the best thing in ep 6

Arf at Cornish Tourist Info Promo. It so is. We almost booked Cornwall for the summer, so pleased we didn't as it will be heaving even more than usual.

well yes I understood that as she had clocked Catherine before, knew she was going to try sommat and then told Athos he'd better watch her back if he wanted her help on the whole Spanish spy front. Hence, 'what took you so long' etc.

But then, why would she walk into it? I just didn't quite get that plot wise. But I may be overthinking.
