The Musketeers 3.06: Where are all the gods?

Jul 10, 2016 22:38

Out in the wilds of Musketeerland, we're half-swashing, half-sobbing our way into the second half of the season already. Doesn't time fly when you're gawping at men in leather? Anyhow, here are my thoughts about ( Death of a Hero... )

Loved it, and fully agree. X

Hooray!

Is it just me who didn't much enjoy this episode? Can't believe they killed off the only remaining source of amusement in another depressingly grim series. What a waste. (This is exactly how they ruined Robin Hood for me, stabbing the one character I really didn't want to lose, just for the shock value of killing someone you assumed was safe for now. Grimaud really *is* Guy of Gisborne!) Meanwhile the deeply unlikeable scowl-in-a-cloak will no doubt hang on till the bitter end, just like rotten Rochefort. Blah. I much preferred The Musketeers when it was a fun, feelgood adventure show... thank goodness we still have your light-hearted reviews to look forward to!

Gotta love all the faces Feron pulled when things weren't quite going to plan. I cracked up when he unexpectedly found himself in the world's most awkward hug!

P.S. Is "lent Feron his secret wormhole" a euphemism?

I enjoyed this episode but I am sad that they killed off Feron.

I kinda do too. It's not that I'm against the emotional or dramatic moments but I do think that overall, Season 1 was much more fun to watch. I think that's why I also loved the recent episode with James Callis in, as it reminded me of how fun this show could be.

I like it when there's deliberate comedy, but if there isn't any, I make my own, so I always enjoy the show...

That's why I love your reviews. Even if there isn't much humour in an episode, I always know that your review will make up for it.

And speaking of sustenance, what's on Porthos's high-energy raw-food breakfast menu for today? Why, it's only CARROTS.

Hahahaha..as soon as I saw what he was eating, I thought of your reviews! I just feel like they have to know about the internet's obsession with the carrots right? It seems like too much of a coincidence otherwise.

As Louis and Aramis hit the pilgrimage trail, looking like Dick Whittington and a sexy Jedi,

OMG I never thought of his look like that but Aramis really did look like a sexy Jedi!!!

"WE REFUSE TO DIE!!" Porthos and D'Artagnan are dusty but fine and Aramis wasn't even there,

I can't believe that you didn't mention the epic, full of feels hand-holding moment we got between these two!!!

Showing the obedience to authority that we all expect from him at this stage, Aramis meets Queenie in the cellar for a plot update.

Oh god love him. ;-)

I'll miss the fabulous Feron like mad - Rupert Everett's face was simply made for this showI'm going to miss him too. I think he's been a wonderfully fun addition to ( ... )

redscharlach July 15 2016, 20:45:18 UTC

I was going to mention the hand-holding and somehow it got lost in my edit! It was a continuation of the previous adorableness, though, so I feel it's vaguely covered...

cherish4 July 16 2016, 14:23:20 UTC

Ah that's okay, I just thought I'd mention it as it was my favourite part but you're right, it was all part of that whole adorable stuff!

Kudos for the 'Slipper and the Rose' reference! Precisely what I was singing at exactly that point :-)

redscharlach July 15 2016, 20:46:18 UTC

Yay, another person who knows The Slipper and the Rose - it was formative holiday TV viewing in my youth!

Thank you so much for your continued wonderful reviews. I cheered when Porthos continued his career as a wine critic. And when he ate the carrots, of course. And did you see his wobbly lower lip when he was talking about having no wife and children? Awww.

Throughout the series I've thought that Athos' and Treville's bickering is SO married-couple, no? "I thought we were supposed to tell each other everything?" "When were you planning to tell me?", etc...

redscharlach July 15 2016, 20:47:51 UTC

I think of Treville and Athos as more like dad and verging-on-grown-up-but-not-quite-there-yet son. "Oh go ooooon, dad, lend me the caaaaaaar, I'll be really careful, honest, ugh, it's so unfaaaaaiiiiir...."
