Why everyone should watch BBC's "The Musketeers": a powerpoint presentation

[sevenswells]

Cross-posted this on Tumblr, obviously. I know fandom powerpoint presentations are so two years ago but I don’t see enough people going wild for this brilliant show and that makes me sad, so I wanted to spread the word

:D :D It's so ridiculous and yet I can't stop watching.

I'm a little disappointed with what they're doing to Athos (it's not Athos. It's not Athos!) but the rest makes up for it in spades. & I was all for the ot4 but then that Milady/Athos fire scene came around and ... yeah. IDK.

Also, Capaldi. \o/

It's so ridiculous

I'm weak against dem *arguments*

I would pretty much watch him sensually grump everywhere around 17th century France for hours on end, especially wearing only a shirt and a sword. Guh.

Well if you're going to put it that way

IDK I wasn't particularly convinced until the fire scene happened to me, and Milady hugging his head to her chest before leaving him to die grabbed my lovers-turned-to-foes kink and ran away with it. Very, very far away.

On the other hand, Santiago Cabrera. Tom Burke who.

ALSO ALSO DID YOU SEE THE NEWEST GARAI/WISHAW CASTING BECAUSE I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT

Aw yiss, I feel you (THAT FIRE SCENE WAS AWESOME IT WAS SO BLUNT BUT ALSO TRAGIC I WAS CLAPPING LIKE A HAPPY TODDLER THE WHOLE TIME)

On the other hand, Santiago Cabrera. Tom Burke who.
I'm totally down with Cabrera, especially after last episode, but I'm not one to dismiss one for the other: I'll have both, please. Also Howard Charles. And I wouldn't kick Pasqualino out of bed either. (jesus this show is like being a kid in a candy store, I'd gladly bang the whole cast srsly)

AND DID YOU SEE DID YOU SEE NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE ARAMIS WITH A BABY AND CONSTANCE AND ARAMIS AND CONSTANCE KICKING ASS WITH A SWORD WHILE ARAMIS HOLDS THE BABY

WHAT NO I DIDN'T SEE THAT

Constance though ♥ When/if canon events unfold, I'm going to cry tears of blood.

The thing is though I never shipped Athos/Milady before? like, to me Milady was awesome because she stood apart from the men, even those she has romantic/sexual encounters with, lbr she's one of the greatest villains in French lit — but then this happens and whooo boy. If no one writes angry hatesex for them I'm going to be very put out.

The who the what the where the how?

omg. THIS. 1920s Period piece with Ben&Romola, + Carey Mulligan & Meryl Streep, Abi Morgan as scriptwriter. I've been excited about this since this morning.
