Musketeers
Aug. 2nd, 2016 10:25 am Anyone here still watching the Musketeers? I'm half way through season 3 and I'm starting to really get into it now.
The writing is improving and the stakes are raising. I love the characters more each episode and I'm excited that they seem to be heading toward the Fronde (civil wars before the revolution). I love how each of the Musketeers are starting to question which side they are on.
In the books, Athos and Aramis choose to fight with the Fronde while Porthos and D'Aratagnan fight for the king. It comes together when the boy king is kidnapped by the Fronde. They discover they are on different sides during a fight. They come together in a meeting to discuss it and it almost breaks out in more fighting. Athos brings them together saying they may work for different sides but they are friends until the end. It's one of my favorite scenes in Twenty Years After. I may have to go read it right away! Yup, just read it again from my very old version of the book:
( from a 1893 printing with wood art )
I can't express how much I love that scene.
I don't think they'll do this at all in the series. If anything, they seem to be working to have D'Artagnan and Athos work with the Fronde but I don't think there will be infighting among the Musketeers.
