In fact, it was a lovely touch that in both cases they recognise each other’s voices before seeing each other properly.
Yes! It was just a brilliant moment of parallelism. Tom Burke's acting in that scene was utterly brilliant - watching the growing shock, dismay, and horror on his face was fantastic. And then his total loss of control, the spittle that flew from his mouth - he is completely in character. Fabulous.
And Milady was fantastic in this episode. I loved all her lines; she really lights up any scene she's in.
According to the previews next episode we should get a direct confrontation between Athos and Milady; can't wait!
it felt a little out of left-field.
It did, didn't it? I liked it, though. Since we were given no hint of it in the previews, and this episode shunted D'Arty into the background, it was a complete surprise, which I love. Plus I think it fit well to have this happen in an episode about women's rights and women's station in life, since Constance is stuck in a loveless marriage.
One of my favorite things about this show is its portrayal of nuance and complexity. This episode was no exception.
