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.
