IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! The Musketeers Season 3, first episode Swagger Inn thread no. 131

[JaneElk]

Phew! We're all feeling a bit post-coital. Come, pull up a bar stool, down a Jizzy Athos and flail with us over Aramis in his navy monk robes.

Morning! Yes I think it's even better on a a second/third/fourth watch Sparks as the first time I was basically just watching Tom so I wasn't totally following new baddies etc.

The 'Red' review is v funny about Grimaud collecting the rings and where he might put the next ones. She is very funny.

Right, off to be sociable. Then I'm listening to Tom in Jane Eyre on way home as have finally received from Amazon. Oooh.

Fancy you know me, I like to keep an air of mystery

But has SisterComtess seen Anna Karenina, Love and Other Disasters, Dexter, Chef Santi, Peces and the other romantic comedy I forget? < head tilt>

And does she have kryptonite Santi? #nokryptonite #AnneWins

Off out with fellow wench and DC today so will see you all later.

Review!

I'll tell you what the Beeb is playing at putting it on at random odd times. Changing the schedules confuses and reduces the number of people watching. Just in case it gets too popular for them to cancel, and there's a big petition/letter writing urging the Beeb to continue. They do it all the time (not just the Beeb, they all do it).

The first season is on Netflix! Been catching up there too.
Which got me confused. Did Treville say 'you lot, my office, now!' (In the manner of a grumpy police chief to his/her unorthodox detectives in a police procedural show) in the first season or in Saturday's episode? Either way it was my favourite line from that episode.

Damn kids!!!!!

No respect for mummy being up late drinking wine and beer.....none

HALF ONE IN THE SODDING MORNING IS NO TIME TO FECKIN WELL GET UP BABYELK

Can someone pass me a none exploding Athos?....I need sorting soothing

Yes smut he did, accompanied by the three of them doing a synchronised hilt tilt. It's a great moment.

So, is this your first watch of all the seasons?? I'm a teensy bit jel.....oh to be a Muskie virgin again

Nah I'm rewatching not catching up. Wrong wording.

Still got to rewatching Satuday's show as I don't think I took it all in. So to speak.

Just dipping in, so to speak, to say hello

I'm usually to be found on the Our Girl Captain James in depth total lustful adoration thread, as modern day posh boy Army captains in low slung combats tend to do it for me, but have to say I do enjoy a 17th century French leather shoulder pad as well as Cornish curly permed scythers now I come to think of it...

It's Dog for me - all the way - esp as he's coming over to "us" vair vair shortleh in S2 of OG. Plus of course Grimaud is an OG reject although still high on our naked fireside wrestling list

Just wanted to say you wenches crack me up, I love your banter

Ooh Woof hello and welcome naked fireside wrestling you say....sounds like it could catch on in the Tav

No fireplace necessarily required MmeElk as we just create a bonfire on a dusty floor from the random sparks ignited from discarded underwear then take a good dib, dib, dib in true Girl Guide fashion at all our favourites. Obvs the odds are rigged so Captain James always wins the final bout, so I dare say if you want me to oversee your inaugural bout at the Tavern it will surely be accidentally on purpose Dog who is the victor. He will give Athos a right good pasting I'm sure. I'm thinking Santi's monk robes could come in jolly handy for the walk into the ring to "Simply the Best" accompaniment.

Now I really must depart

Haven't even watched the whole Ep but Grimaud... Just YES!

Morning (just) wenches, just off to catch up with the thread......

helen I suspect that may be the case sometimes for me, but it's mostly comtess's posts that appear where I swear they never were before. Witch? Druid?

fluff re: scheduling, why the fuck have they swapped TM & Casualty round next week? . And no, it's never too early for porn. Speaking of which I found some diverting Anatole/Dolokov/Helene filth last night It was a late one

Have a fab day out anne. I also have no Santi kryptonite. Some incarnations are better than others, but ultimately, hair can be ruffled & beards grown. Would. Always.

Blimey comtess, will you be safe to drive?

smut, thanks for the link - that review is a bit though? The overall style is a bit odd. But more importantly he ignores Queenie and equates Grimaud to Ozzy Osbourne . Two critcisms there - he describes Grimaud 'goth' - so not like OO then? And Grimaud is HOT and OO is NOT.

for elk

welcome woof, I see you've got the gist of this place already

I lovvvvve all these newbs popping up!!!

DRINKS ALL ROUND.

That's as much as I can manage as I'm still stuck on Santi in robes in wrestling ring. Eye of The Tiger would also work.

Welcome newcomers - woof, kittens, smut.

Elk more for you.

And Grimaud as Ozzy??? Are they blind or have they forgotten what Ozzy looks like?

Have an enjoyable, relaxing bank holiday everyone.

Have watched again, on my own this time, so there's no-one querying whether all the powder would have blown up on the battlefield with just one shot and how the cart blew up (we both missed the bomb first time around).

Much better second time. Like Comtess I'm just looking for Athos on first watch.

Very funny review from Red. Sound of Muskets! Poor little Dauphin.

Welcome to newbies!

Ooooh, lovely video on the making of the battle scene.

Bahahaha at 1min20.

That's a brilliant video Apricot thanks for posting!!

Loved the vid thank you Apes. Tom is hilarious at that bit. Mwahahaha.

So, driving back with Burke coming in my ears (Chorley FM). Wonderful.

Note to DVD producers for S3:

You know that vid ^ on the BtS. We like all the jokey back stage stuff like the 'boo!'. Not so much the technical scenery stuff, which, whilst interesting, needs to be sandwiched between FAF out takes of the beardy ones doing yoga or costume fittings. More funny bits/FAF, less 'this is how these clever bids made an Astro-whatsit' from last time

also, if the DVD only has the boys on from the website I AINT BUYING. I was crushed crushed by the disappointment last time.

Don't disappoint me this time please

Ta.

Bits not boys

More bits than website.

Oh ffs.

Um.

You know what I'm saying here. This is your opportunity to make us happy. Dooooooo it.

What comtess said.

Plus BBC, I understand why there was something missing from that video, but I think you now owe us one dedicated to Aramis alone? Just ask if you need any suggestions for the subject matter.

Oh that video is joyous.....totes with you Comtess, more pranks and nonsense....daftness that demonstrates the famous camaraderie between the FAF, that's what we want, what we really really want
