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.
