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.

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.

The Musketeers: S02x04 – Emelie

Hey Guys,
i found the time to watch the episode of the musketeers. It was a good episode but why did be the next one there? This episode will change a few things in the rest of the season.

Speaking to god

This time it goes about a woman that can talk to god. She sees visions and is building an army to fight against the devil the spain. This is a deficult task for Aramis. Most times i forget how much he is actually believing in god. He believes in him and to find a way to destroy that woman seems wrong to him. He knows that the way she is going will end in blood and death.
But this episode will show us something else. That what ever will happen he can never betray the queen. But they bring a new thing in this afair – Constance knows now.

Friendship between the Queen and Constance

Constance was always open for an adventure. She loved the thrill. Now with the queen feeling worthless and struggling to get the king look at her again. She does stupid things and now Constance is finding herself in the position to want to stop the queen. Of course she is going with her. Because Constance is one of the bravest and loyalest persons.The Queen is trusting her and talks with her about the king and his mistress.

The king

The king gets even stupier than before. He just have eyes for his mistress the Mylady. So Rocheford and the musketeers are handling everything on their own. When he is forced to makes decisions he lets himself manipulate again in doing the wrong things. He is such a weak person. Every other character is strong and thinking on his own, just he is weak – still child.

The changes beginns

Rocheford is wining a battle the Cardinal could never win. Treville is no longer the captain of the musketeers. That point goes to Rocheford. We will see how that will change the serie and who will take his place.

The Musketeers: S02x03 – The good traitor

Hey Guys,
i know i am late this time with the new episode of the musketeers but my laptop didn’t want to play it yesterday…

Constance strenght

This episode shows us again, who strong she is and what she is willing to take. The son of the Queen is ill and the doctors treats don’t work. She is not a doctor, but we all know how unlike it is to surive us a baby the treetment he wants to do next. But there are a few ‘tricks’ the comon people have with their babys. Constance take the baby and left the castle with him. She thinks the steam will help him and her only luck is that the doctor is a honest man and didn’t take the credits for the recovery of the prince.

Aramis weakpoint

Aramis weakpoint is his son. When he hears he is ill, he is worried and prays for him. He loves his son. When they are on the mission, he sees a baby crying and that take his mind away form the mission, what makes it more difficult and end in a failure. He needs to get his act together, but i can totally understand him.

Portus Past and future

The girl he is captured with tells him that he never will be france. That he never will be exapted. Maybe she is right, but one thinks is clear he is a musketeer and his friend sees him not as a franceman or an african, he is Portus a musketeer and their friend. He is one of them and that makes him have a home. Again we get the glimpse of Portus, who tells us that he never knew his father. So the truth will be make Portus it very difficult to see this as a home i think.

The Musketeers: S02x02 – An ordinary man

Hey Guys,
the Musketeers are back and i love every part of it. For now it turns out that the new bad guy is really interessting and good in his job. Of course he is Capaldi but is really good.

The idiotic king

I never like the king. He never thought of his own and was weak. Here in this episode i thought that we would see another side of the king. An ordinary life is what he wanted to see and he gets it. He got captured with D’Artgnan. He sees a new world. The way he talk, the way he looked at the man that spoke not good about the king, the way he looked at D’Artgnan when said good stuff about him. I really thought he would see another side, that the king will learn something, that take something out of it. But he didn’t, when he comes back he is the same stupid brat he was before. But i think know that he is not just dump, i think he is at heart a bad guy.

Constance against Rochefort

Constance was never someone that let someone forbid her mouth. She say what she thinks and that is good. It is good to see that she still believes in D’Artgnan. That she don’t bow before Rochefort and that she is not a trusting person. The way she looked at him, tells me that she is very sceptic about him. She is a real advisiour. She is the only person in that court that has a pure heart and is good from deep down. The Queen is… i don’t trust her anymore.

Rochefort

The new advisior of the king and the bad guy. He is a traitor. He is very different to the Cardinal. The Cardinal thought about France, he had his own plans, but in the end he wanted France to be strong. Rochefort is on the side of the spain. He didn’t thought about France. France is of no interesst of him. But he can use his head and that makes him very dangerous. He thinks ahead not just for the moment. I am really interessted what they will do with him.

Aramis at the edge

He always seems to search for the nearness to his son. That is the reason he beginns to sleep with the woman who cares for his son (i don’t find the word right now). This will become a problem. A big problem. But for now it is so sweet to see him with his son.

And of course the Mylady is back. What is the Musketeers without her. We will see what her plans are now.

The Musketeers: S02x01 – Keep your friends close

but your enimies closer. That is the thing i thought when i read the name of the episode. So the waiting is over the new season started.

The loose ends

Aramis baby is there – as the son of the king. He tries to look at him and search for the queen eyes. D’Artangan is recommanding Constance to the queen and his is hiring her. Constance make clear that he should stay away from her. And even worse is that the Cardinal is dead. This is the obivious part but it is sad because i was such a good bad guy. Bye Peter Capaldi. So here we start the new season.

New BERATER to the king

The king is trying to replace the Cardinal and finds it deficult. The chief of the musketeers don’t want the job but the king don’t like to get rejected. I think that will be a problem later. But for know the musketeers should rescue a friend of the chief and that should become that to the king. Will he be a traitor like the one that told them about him? The traitor seems to be a old friend of the queen. What makes me question her again?

The new woman

I don’t like the way D’Artangnan and the woman look each other. Also the meeting is simualar and he get punch him like she did. Constance is an amazing character and he hope she got not replaced in D’Artangnans heart.

So it seems that Porthos past will be playing a role in this season. Aramis knows now what happens to Adele… it seems cruel that she died in the first episode and Aramis get to know this on season later…

We will she what the next episode will bring us. Until than ‘One for all and all for one’

The Musketeers: Season 1

Hello Guys,

i started watching The Musketeers when the first broadcast on TV. But i had problems at that time with watching without interruptions – of loading. So i stopped watching and waited for the DVD and here we are.

Reason to watch

First of all the first episode was just what we thought it will be. It was nothing special, nothing different from what we know. The problem is everyone knows one version of the Musketeers. So there is not much what you can do to surprise. So why watch this?
For me it where three things. One of them is Peter Capaldi as the Cardinal – the big bad. The sad thing is that Peter is playing know the Doctor (Doctor Who Season 8). He is gourgous.
The second thing is Santiago Cabrera. I know him from the serie Merlin and i wanted to see him again. Also they told me that it should be like Merlin. An old story really different to tell. So maybe it will be after the first episodes.
The third things is the realtionship between Aramis and one of the girls from the Cardinal. Yeah i know she is not long a part in it, but i loved to see this relationship.

Every man for himself

The Story is about the team. But i think that the relationships between them came a little short in the first two episodes. We all know the Musketeers never let some them down. So they can’t play really with that. We know that but we don’t see the bond between. But we see an amazing character with Constanze. She is a strong woman, which not afraid of stand her man. She is to strong to be with such a lame husband without a real own opinion.
It seems like they want to play with that motto ‘Every man for himself’. But they also show that the trust each other and it is lovely to see. I just want to know how the met, how they became so close.

Milady de Winter

So we get to know the past of Athos. Of course it is not new to us that Athos big love was Milady de Winter. But it is a good and tragic story. We have a big inside in Athos and Milady de Winter. So i am not sure what she is upto now. But it seems like she wants to play Athos and D’Artagnan against each other. They relate the story with many feelings and love for details. I don’t know very much about the Musketeers – just the big things everyone knows. So i can’t tell you if the changed something and what they changed.

Behind the mask

Everyone have there past. It is not to dark, not to tragic but not an easy past. They have all there ghost with them. The most i love Aramis and Constance. Aramis is the one that loves easy and is a romantic at heart, but also a player with woman. Constance is a strong woman, she learns to fight with the sword and don’t let her mouth be shut. These characters are loveable and that is what makes us the a serie about the musketeers.
This sweet lovestory between Constance and D’Artagnan is really good. She would do anything for him and i like that D’Artagnan after that break up, don’t go for the Milady. He is young but he has a strong character. He can fast lose is temper but that makes him so sympatic. Athos is the most sealed character of them. With his background of the Milady, you got the best inside of him. But he is a good teacher for D’Artagnan. Phortos is the strong guy with the soft soul. I somehow thinks that he is the most moral of them all. Also the Cardinal has many side and i love to dislike him.
The Queen is also a really sweet. She wants do be usefull, but he just have nothing to say. Her husband wants her dead and she falls for Aramis – but maybe I am wrong about her. Maybe she knows totally what she does and how she gets what she wants. So I am excited what of the sides of her are the real ones.
