The Musketeers 2.01: A lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends

[redscharlach]

Gosh, here's a turn-up for the books. Several people* have asked if I was planning to write recaps for series 2 of The Musketeers, in the style of my long-ago Merlin reviews. I didn't review series 1 of The Musketeers, mostly because it aired on a Sunday evening, which is not the best night for staying up late and typing nipple jokes. However, a

Oh I love your recaps!

Muskelads! Hee!

I too would like a gentleman's bottom to be showing up in the series. Actually I would have liked a detailed scene where we saw them change into the spanish uniforms.

I think Porthos wins the 'crossing a zip line in style' award. He also wins 'best line of the ep' award for the one about nailing the Cardinal's coffin down.

Please keep on with the recaps, I love them so!

Yeah, having an episode with multiple clothes changes but not showing any of them in detail is a bit of a swizz. After all, it must take quite a lot of fumbling around until everyone's found something that fits them decently. I'm picturing a LOT of experimental trouser-swapping...

I love your dancing Mrs Slocombe icon, BTW!

I can totally see Aramis trying on a spanish soldier's trousers and asking if his bum looks big in it!

I found Mrs Slocombe in my travels around LJ, I don't know who to credit for her unfortunately.

EXCELLENT! You must do one of these every week!

[redscharlach]

Thank you! As I said above, I can't promise anything but I will try to make these weekly...

That may seem like an over-optimistic scheme for the first episode of a series called The Musketeers

That made me irl lol. Great recap!

Rochefort is so shady in this it's hilarious that none of them (Athos, I'm looking at you) seem to entirely notice. He is the MOST unsubtle.

[redscharlach]

Aw, thank you! I would have said the folks at court had to be pretty stupid not to suspect that anyone striding around scowling in black leather all the time was up to Obvious Villainy (TM), but then I remembered that they see Athos doing that every day and he's not evil. ;-)

That Rochefort/shih tzu comparison in full:

OMG! :D

[asthenie_vd]

Ooh, brilliant! :D

Here via bbc_musketeers. I'd pay to zone-out in Constance's Patented Sexy-Sheet Dream-Yurt. She should really think about going into business with that.

Also Rochefort's ugly shi-tsu wig is a mental image that is going last for a while!

Thanks for visiting! For more on the shih-tzu wig, you might want to check out the comment posted above yours!
