The Musketeers: Season 3

Hey Guys,

after what felt like years i finally watched season 3 of the musketeers. I love the serie and that doesn’t change in season 3. But it is not as good as i am used to. So i am really happy that this is the end before it got bad. So why does i thing that this is not as good as the two season before. That is really simple. Here comes the first reason – and there will be spoilers for the season.

Mylady is back?

What the season is missing is Lady de Winter. She was a really amazing character. She wasn’t trually good but not totally evil either. The world made her the monster she was in season one and she tried to built herself a different life. I still believe that she and Athos could have made it way better.
But instead of bringing her back we got Sylvi. Sylvi is a really good person. It is not that i have anything against her. I really like her. I just don’t like her with Athos.
Yes she made Athos smile. But everyone is forgetting one thing. Athos had that with Mylady. She was betrayed by the man she loved. Athos is a good person but he hanged her because she killed the person that tried to rape her. I am sorry but i totally believe her. Because she wanted revenge on him, because he betrayed her.
Everyone forget that it was Athos who choose to don’t believe her. She may lied to him about her past…
After that the love for each other destroyed them. Because they love each other to much… the way he reacted when he first saw her in season three is more than clear that he is loving her.
I really hate that they didn’t gave her her happy end. That they make her the killer again.
I wished that they showed us that people can change, that people can come back from dark places…but happy endings are reversed for the ‘good’ people.

He grow up in hell

The second point why i don’t like the season as much as the season before is the big bad. In season one we had the Cardinal. Which was an amazing bad guy that loved France as much as the musketeers. He was bad and dark but had so many other layers. In season two we had Rochefort. That was a good guy and than got tortured for years and became bad and obsessed with the Queen. He was crazy and in the end i really hated him and in the same time i feel sorry for him. He deserved what he got. They were all amazing.
But here… not the kings brother nor the guy that works with him as the potential to be that interessting and deep. They are boring… they don’t get me at all.
But this was the reason i loved the first seasons so much.

Watching or not

This is still a really amazing story. The characters are amazing. I love how Constance become a musketeer and get the shit done. I love the musketeers as a family. How they care for each other. There is nothing that can beat this amazing friendship. One for all.
So yeah watch it. But if you are like me a fan of Mylady be ready for a really hard season without her only to bring her back to show her that he wanted to be with her and now chooses someone else. So she is again totally and utterly alone the monster she doesn’t wanted to be anymore. She deserved a better story in this season.

The Musketeers: S03x03

Hey Guys,

the new episode of the musketeers seems to be one of the perfect musketeers episodes. The only thing it clearly lakes is Mylady and saddly it seems like this will not change in this season or ever again when you thing about that this is the last season of the musketeers.

Fighting for the king

This episode is just amazingly perfect. The Musketeers seems so tired of doing their job. They of course do what the King demands but they know by now really well what person the king is. They know that the injustice pratice by the royal will not be punished. They know the king will not mourn the people that died because of the acting of his brother in a pub. They all seems so tired of that game that they are playing with the red garde. Constance on the other hand is playing it very well.

The King intentions

We got to know why the King act strange these season. He is dying and it makes him think about alot of things. About who will protect his son. It is sad that the king thinks not much about his kingdom even when it is sweet that he will risk everything to do what he thinks is the right thing to protect his son. But the best about this scene is Treville. He know the king a long time. He know his flaws to good. He fought him so many time, so he will do the right choices and still does. But he always wanted the best for him. They are friends. The knowledge that the king will die is making him cry and it is so sad to see him keeping his word and try to make everything right again.

Not as good…

I am really sorry but his big bad this season doesn’t get me. He is just there and i can just look at him in disinteresst. Capaldi made me hate Cardinal Richelieu in an instant. But he had so much deep and as bad and evil he was, he always wanted the best for France. He was just amazing. Rochefort i really liked. I felt with him and his one-sided love and they way he tried to get close to her. Until he snapped and really went crazy and you just could pity him and wish he will send to hell for what he did to Anne. But still feel a little bit sorry for him, because spanish broke him.
But this bad guy is just there is making a few bad comments and this is all… i hope that will change.
The other thing is and you will hear this probably every episode form now one, is that Mylady was missing. The episode was good and would be amazing without Mylady and you wouldn’t had missed her so much. Because the musketeers fighting the red garde, choosing the right side again, Constance totally saving the Day. This episode was really good. But than they had to bring Sylvi in again. They can totally do that. I don’t have a problem with her. But i have a problem with her flirting with Athos. The love between Mylady and him was so big, intense and distroying that nobody of them will ever get over this. When he didn’t loved her more than anything than he hated her more than anything – or himself for still loving her – but which way it was she was always the most important person in his life. He chose her again after everything. He never could let go of her. He would never not choose her. Even when he know everything would ended liked that, he would choose her. These two are tied together. They can love each other, hate each other but they can never really life without each other. Sylvi flirting with him and he flirting back is the so against everything we saw in the other two seasons and i don’t want it.

The Musketeers: S03x02

Hey Guys,

he watched the second episode of the musketeers. This time i don’t have much to say about the episode. She was a good one not the best but good. It was acctually a standard episode. Some we have in every episode. The musketeers the only one in Paris that tries to perform justice.

No kissing…

The characters are so perfect and i love them interact. I love to see Aramis and Porthos going back to their old friendship and rebuilding the trust. How Aramis and Athos are like nothing happend. Constance, who got so strong and indepantend. She choose to not even let her obligations slide a little, not even with her lovely husband in her bed. I love how they still try to protect each other. D’Artnagnon is calm and than someone touches his wife and he got all protective even when Constance can protect herself.
But i miss Mylady… she is missing and with her a part of the magic of the musketeers. The kiss that woman gave Athos made me realize again that she is alone in London and i want her back. I want her in season three and i want her together with Athos… i want an happy end.

Like big brothers and wise kings?

It is really sweet to see, who this little musketeer is watching Aramis and Porthos like it is the best thing in the world. Hopefully the interact more often with this sweet guy, who looks at them as their were his amazing big brothers.
What gets me is the King. What happend their. Did he actually started thinking? It seems like he still believe that their is something between the queen and Aramis. But it doesn’t seem like he things that his son isn’t his son. Also it seems like the son is more a father than a mother kid. The Queen is more than just unhappy in her life now..

The Musketeers: S03x01

Hey Guys,

my favorite serie this year so far is back on the tv-screen – the musketeers. This is not just the third season this is also the last season of the musketeers. I will be really sad when this season ended i am sure but better and on an high than as a bad season.

Old friends

The first season brings almost everyone back. We see the king and his son, Queen Anne, the captian and of course Constance. She is in charge of the musketeers. I love that she is standing her ground again in this world of the men. I hope we will see alot of her and her fights.
Of course the musketeers are also back. They went to war without Aramis, who decided that he wants to live a life as a monk.
Of course the first episode brings us 4 years later to the reunion of these four people. What is totally one of the best things of the episode. We see the two most important relationships for Aramis. The Arthos and him relationship which are like brothers, always happy to see each other, forgiving and understanding of the decissions the other made.
Also the Porthus and Aramis relationship that is as deep as the relationship with Arthos but in a totally other way. Between Portos und Aramis is such deep trust. The depend on each other, trust each other blind and are always looking out for each other and the others. Aramis decission to not follow them into the war hurt Porthus deeply. They are more like soulmates.

The goal?

I don’t know where this season wants to lead us. I have seen years ago the movies but i don’t remember much and i never read the books so i have no idea what will come now. The bad guys this time seems so… i don’t know unsympatic? Okay the Cardinal was not sympatic but the way he was played was so amazing that you was interessted in him and Reuchille??? was for a bad guy real sympatic until the crazy end. But this bad guy doesn’t get me like the other two did in the first episode. But i don’t want to judge right now, because i have great faith in this serie so i am sure the bad guys will be as amazing as the other two were.

So all in all i am just really happy that this season is back and hope that it will not let me down like other series did this year. I had fun watching the first episode and are excited for what will follow and hopefully we will also get Mylady back. I miss her and i am still hoping (against better knowledge) that Arthos and Mylady will get their happy end. I rule for them. She is such a great and shady character. I would really miss her if we will not see her this season.

The Musketeers: S02x10 – Trial and Punishment

Hey Guys,
this last episode of the musketeers played with my feelings. My love for the character only grow stronger and it is so hard to see them fall. This episode they all are on very low point. The story is great but not really important. In that episode it goes about the characters. How the develope and which way they will go.

Aramis

When i first started watching the serie, i kept watching it for the relationship between the one woman and Aramis. Aramis is full love and loyal for the persons he loves. But also i steps over boundaries. He is a player, he can’t let her love for the queen and his son go. I get it. This girl that did suicide… i don’t say it is Aramis fault, but he drives to an edge without knowing it and when he sees it, it is to late and he did take her hand. One thing Aramis has to do in this episode is living with that and giving the Queen and his son up. Because they need to be the kings wife and son. He has to take his feelings back.
In the end he leaves to become a monk.

Constance

I never ever get over how strong she is. Rocheford could never break her. She is so loyal that she would have died for it. The real reason i watch the serie is she. I love the serie but Constance is something else. She is so amazing and i love that D’Artgnan let fight her fights. That is why i love the relationship of them so much. They let them so much room to be their own person and are so near. I am really happy that she get her happy ending.

Milady and Athos

Milady has a too small role in that episode but everything she do is on point. It is so lovely to see her on the good and beginning think about her life and what she really wants. What she and Athos really wants. A new chance to maybe built a life together, to win trust back, to be together again. Her role in the first season has amazing and interessting but in that season i fall in love with her. She has a way to the life and to conquer it. She don’t need anyone but she choose to want have them. She is leaving Paris and wants Athos go with her and he was on the way to her and than… everything chances… and he is to late. This were the point my break in that episode. She got me hopeing that she gets her happy ending with Athos. She gets my believing that we could see them together again, i wanted that for her so much. I wish she will be become someone she can be proud of and that someday the will meet again and be together. Also this must happen really fast because i don’t want a season 3 without her and Aramis.

Rocheford and the King

Rocheford is crazy and broken and i feel sorry for him. Because he had nothing than this feelings for her. He hold on to them that he become so obessed with her. This could only go south. Everything he did, he did for her. Thats how he sees it. Rocheford was a good big bad. Not like the Cardinal. I loved the Cardinal to him. But Rocheford was different. He was broken and he was an interessting character. I will miss him and we will see which big bad they have to face now.
Rocheford showed us two things about the king. How easy it is to manipulate him but also how much he really loved his queen. He always wanted to forgive her. We see him breaking and let us hope that someday he will a little bit of strenght…but maybe we don’t see this ever…

Now we only can wait for the new season.

March 23

The Musketeers: S02x09 – The Accused

Hey Guys,
i am really happy that i watched this episode just know so i have only one week to wait for the next episode. I don’t want it to end… how could this become okay again? They can’t to anything to Constance… this can’t happen. But let’s start with the musketeers.

One for all

The situation at the palace is out of controll. Rocheford is the only one left with power and his plan is going like he planned it. Aramis is telling all the other musketeers that he slept with the queen. Now they all know. The importants of that is how they react. Phortos is the one how summeries it perfect. He attack him and than make it into a hug. This is friendship. He did something wrong but they stand beside him. They will never let him down. It is sad and you see in Phortos face that it hurts him to say it, but he had to tell Aramis that he needs to deny that it happend, he has to give up every hope, because the baby must stay the son of the king.

The strenght

Constance is not living the palace and is never give up the queen. She stays behind to see for the queens son and get accused to attemd to murder the king. Together with the doctor which finds his death in that episode. Rocheford tries to break Constance and let her witness everything. He wants to hang her to, but when she tell them that Aramis and the queen had an affair, she will live. But he doesn’t know Constance she will never to that. She is so strong and will stay loyal to the queen, i am sure of it. But she can’t die… she can’t!

Mylady de Winter

She is helping the musketeers. I hoped that this will happen. Again we find out us reminded of what she did to Arthos and Catherine, but this time i believe her. She is telling that Athos brother have committed an offence against her. She is good enought that this could be well played lie, but i believe she is telling the truth. I believe that that was the reason she killed him. She could be bad but deep down she is just disapointed in world. She lost hope of a good life and became what everyone believed she was. That is how the world works. Also i think that Athos beginns to believe her too.

So when will be the next episode there? A week… what will i do until then?

March 9

The Musketeers: S02x08 – The Prodigal Father

Hey Guys,
a little late but here we go with the new episode of the musketeers. We know now the big secret of Phortos past and the story is head to the climax. Only two episodes are left. But they will be back for another season.

Mourn

Get we to Constance first. She lost her husband and is mourning or something like that. She feels guilty because she could give him what she now think he deserverd. I think she is not wrong that he at heart wasn’t a bad man. But all that frustration made him bitter and when his wife felt in love with another guy, he lost it. But Constance is wrong to give herself the fault what happend to him. She hurt him and she betrayed him, but she didn’t kill him and because he is dead doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve happiness. This is what she is doing. She is puniching herself and sperate her from D’Artagnan.

Queens Annes Wishes

Because of that situation Constance is in. The Queen is telling her about her feelings. How she wished that Aramis could be with her and his son. That she was born in this life and that she couldn’t choose what life she wanted to live. She only has that one memory of what she could have, if she would be free. This is a beautifull and sad inside of her and brings Constance to get her happiness.

Phortos

For a Phortos story it was to little of him. Nothing against that episode it was amazing, but too little of Phortos and his feelings. I hoped for a little more screentime, a little more inside. Of all characters i didn’t get a really conaction to him. We see much more Aramis and Athos action. Phortos get to know his father and he finds out what man he really is. Thankfully he has more from his mother.

Showdown

The end starts here. The king is giving Rocheford the power he needed. Also Rocheford is losing it. He is going mad. So he could resist any longer and talk to the queen about the crucifix that he gave her a long time ago. But she isn’t saying what he want to here and violated her. Before he could could ‘really’ (that was more than enough) started Constance is coming. But know Rocheford is telling everyone that Aramis and the Queen having an affair.

So the next episode will be really emotional… and i am really excited to see what they are doing with that situation. So until next time.

March 3

The Musketeers: S02x07 – A Marriage of Inconvenience

Hey Guys,
so i watched the new episode of the musketeers and the new shadow over the relationship of Constance and D’Artgnan.

The new shadow

Constance made in the last episode a decision and tells that her husband. This isn’t a easy task. We all know her husband and his anger. So for a moment i hasn’t sure if she wouldn’t go back with him. But she isn’t. She is helping the doctor this episode. Constance is getting respect from more people know. The Doctor respect her because she helped the little baby prince and wants her help with the ‘OP’. This is a big step and Constance is of course helping and she grows on every task.
No, she have to live with the death of her husband. This is something big… she maybe don’t love him, but she never wanted something happening to him.

New ways for Mylady?

One of the most interessting things are, what way will Mylady choose. She did many good things in the last time. Of course she did it to protect herself, but she saw how ungrateful the world is. On the good side is not much to win. The only thing she can have is Athos ‘good’ will. But she don’t want it. She is a proud woman and she does much for her wellbeing, but i think she will never accepted help from Athos like that.
No that she knows about Rocheford. She has every way open for her.

Rocheford

Sometimes i don’t know on which side he plays or if he is just dump – sometimes. Did he really thought that the musketeers would try to find out what happend to her captain? The king is dump, but Rocheford know what they are doing, but sometimes… most of the time is Rocheford a good bad guy.
So the crucifix from the Queen is from Rocheford. So maybe the Queen had feelings for Rocheford. This will bring a lot of dynamite in the story.

the best thing

Next episode we will get answers. What happend to Phortos father. What did the captain do, what is the real story…why is already next week?

The Musketeers: S02x06 – Through a glass darkly

Hey Guys,
this episode of the musketeers is one of the best so long. It have everything. There is a lot of Constance and Constance x D’Artagnan feelings, we have a lot of Aramis and Queen Anne feelings, also Arthos and Mylady feelings and Rocheford is working with Porthos.

The Game

So one of the decision the King made had bad consequences. He and a group of his people including the queen and his son get prisoner of a crazy guy that wants revenge. He invented a game. A game were he thinks is nothing his fault because it is all destiny. He flips the coin and the King have to tell head or number. This game is breaking the King. We see him down and you wants to feel with him. But than at the end his the old king again and you want just to hit him hard. So no developement for the King.

Constance

The last epiosde of without her so here we have a lot of her. She tried to help D’Artagnan and don’t shut down, when she brought the Queen away. I love how we see so much feelings on her face this episode. All that love, the fear, the will to fight. D’Artagnan is understanding the play and when the king ‘decided’ that Constance have to die, he is ready to give his life. What i love must about this two, is that they even when they are not together they never had someone else.

Aramis

Aramis needs to learn how to use doors. I mean i never thought that he died but he don’t have to scary them. He is of course saving the Queen and his son. They interessting dynamic is that we see this feelings between the Queen and Aramis but not only we wittnessed it, also Aramis loveaffair. So very interessting is what she will do with that knowledge.

Rocheford

Rocheford and Porthos together in a cell. This is a really interessting dynamic i never thought of. Rocheford is open up a little and telling Porthos what has holding him alive in prison the last time. In this episode we see that maybe Rocheford is not so bad and could work with the musketeers, but when he founds out about the Queen and Aramis it will end badly. But i would love to see more of Rocheford and Porthos together.

Mylady

She gets to know how it is to do the right think. She got out, so she could bring Athos and the other musketeers to save the King. But the King don’t see it that way. He is seeing that she left him. When he don’t change his mind she will stand ones more without everything there. Only thing she will have is the respect of Athos for what she did. But she claimed to don’t care about it anymore.

February 14

The Musketeers: S02x05 – The Return

Hey Guys,
the latest episode of the Musketeers is a epiosde about Athos.

Absend persons

First of all i like the episode and i like how much we see of how Athos feels. But it plays not in Paris and not in the castle so there is a lack of many people. Rochefort and Constance missing roles in that episode is really sad and i missed them a lot. But as much as i don’t want it, the episode don’t need them to be really good.

Athos life

Athos is taking back to his land. We know that he never wanted to go back there. But it is back. So we get to know the woman that would have become is wife if there wasn’t the mylady. At first she seemed nice, a little harden be world but good heart. She lived and survived on her own. She is a really strong woman. But all that is just a part of a woman which don’t a normal life. A life of a normal person is not enough for her. She wants her status back. She wants to stand above them. She wants restore her life before everything turned bad. She wants Athos.

Athos feelings

The last epsiode ended with the mylady saying to Athos that is still loving her. This episode shows us that she right. She is murderer – the muderer of his brother – but he still loves her. He can’t stop. He never thought about a life without choosing her. That shows us how broken he is. Because he hates himself for it. He knows she is right but he don’t wanted to be true.

Three things i wish for

First of all i want a lot of Constance next episode. Secondally i want to see real consequenz of the degradation of the captain and last i want to know the secret he has. I wanted an episode about Phortus.
