More Musketeers

The second half of season three of The Musketeers is so much better than the rest of the series! There is so much more action, a lot less "story of the week" with lots of white washing history, and less poorly written bad guys. Grimaud proves himself a great villain for the series and we get to see the characters really shine in their roles.

I'm so sad this is all there is. One more episode and I won't have more of these musketeers to keep me happy. I'll have to go back and read the books, I suppose.
For all the good, however, there are some easy outs the authors take that really drive me nuts.

Case in point: the episode Prisoner of War. ( Read more... )

At the very least, I want to see something. I get there's only so much time to delve into this stuff but it makes the whole episode fall flat without. Seriously, the captain of the musketeers just shouted before a crowd of people, the red guard, and other musketeers to "damn the law" while rescuing a prisoner without orders to do so. That can't go unchecked!

I haven't written fanfiction in a while, but I am sorely tempted to write this... Unfortunately I have to write my article today on abacus games and then work on my other stories for my business. Adulting sucks sometime


If anyone out there watched this show and wants to write me a tag to this episode, I'd be very excited.
