Captain Treville (The Musketeers) - an appreciation

Apr 24, 2015 21:45

While "The Musketeers" focuses on d'Artagnan and his three best buddies, the BBC version of Captain Jean-Armand Treville has become my favorite character of the show.

brilliantly acted (he pulls some of the best expressions on the show! And then there's the character stuff, like his anguish over his past mistakes in "The Good Soldier" *happy sigh*)
Oh yes, so true. And I love his face palms or when he has his rare smiles or the scene where Aramis and Athos reveal that Aramis had slept with the queen. Just wonderful stuff.

I actually liked the scars! He's a veteran of a bazillion campaigns, so it made sense for them to be there.
Yep, same here. But I also appreciate the sexier look. *g*

I mean, seriously, I think the first and the last episode in series 2 are the only ones in which he doesn't leave his shirt unlaced, and sometimes even for no good reason other than to show off some skin? XD
It was episode 3 and 9 IIRC ;-) And I love that unlaced shirt. So. Much. XD

but so far Treville has shown more skin in one season that Athos in both!
I think I read somewhere that Tom doesn't want to get nekkid, because he hates to work out. Well, I don't think he gives himself enough credit...

(I think Porthos didn't get his kit off this season either? Really, I have to rewatch, only watched every s2 ep once so far, apart from ep5)
Has he ever gotten out of his clothes? I really don't remember... No, I was wrong. He slept with his old girlfriend and the widow.

but it's grown on me (not literally though, thank God XD).
Oh god, now I have pictured you with that beard *lol*

Either way I wouldn't want to go back to the s1 look. He cleaned up nicely so to speak. Yes indeed. :)

(actually I'm sure the silhouette is Aramis, because of the beard!)<(/i>
I rechecked and you are right. There goes my theory *sighs*

(Plus, everyone else got pretty action shots, even Capaldieu does some twirling in the s1 intro, so why not Treville? He could totally twirl! Or open his shirt. What do I know? *g*)
YES, Season 3 intro with Treville opening his shirt. WANT. NOW!

He has the best smile! (His "proud father" smile is my favourite though. *g*)

You know, come to think of it you should have mentioned his sarcasm more explicitly in your post. ;) Oh, and his wonderfully vitriolic relationship with the cardinal! I loved those two together. Ugh, I miss that carnivorous French flamigo. They could have had so many more beaufiful episodes in which they were forced to work together.

I'm sure that with the new haircut + beard they could have pulled off a sexier look without having to get rid of the scars completely.

Has he ever gotten out of his clothes? I really don't remember... No, I was wrong. He slept with his old girlfriend and the widow.

Of course! It's pretty much the other reason I love 1x08 so much. Porthos ends up being such a (shirtless ;) ) gentleman. ♥

Aw, poor guy!

Clearly I have to start my rewatch soon!

Yes, that one is great. But I'd love to see a sultry smile next season :p ;)

You are right. Sarcasm has been added ^^

Clearly I have to start my rewatch soon! Well, I might watch a couple with you, if you want to *g*

Dammit, I just rechecked: The shirt is laced in eps 3, 9 and 10. (I have no clue why I thought I could see his chest in ep. 10, so only 7 episodes with that wonderful view). I NEED MORE CHEST!

Ugh, they really need to make up for this neglect in s3. Preferably in combination with the smooching!

Sadly the new outfit doesn't look very bare-chest-friendly. :(

yeah, you are right... And no leather *sighs* Why did they have to get rid of the leather????

It looks like leather though? It's just dyed blue.

No, you're right. It's cloth. It's just the edited colours that made it look all shiny.

Damn, I had hoped for more leather :/
