shallownessThe Musketeers 3.2
Time for the reunited Musketeers to find out what Paris is like these days: not good.
Refugees (oh, show) who came to Paris seeking sanctuary after the war against the Spanish the boys were fighting last week are wrongly accused by Faron’s Red Guards of stealing grain. Of course, Farron and his SIC (who seems to have changed name?) were doing a secret deal over the grain with a snooty but debt-ridden nobleman. A bit of greed and they pushed their injustice a little too far.
Also among the refugees were i. An idealistic family of revolutionaries ii. A Red Guard in disguise. One of the revolutionaries, Sylvie, was feisty and a fighter – impetuous, too, but capable of outsmarting Aramis (not hard) and surprising Athos (not hard). She says she’s staying in Paris – is she sticking around to fill a Milady slot? After all, they bothered building her relationship with two Musketeers and there was a lack of women interacting.
I loved the D’Artagnan-Constance interaction, where she was all pragmatism and he was a little more hasty (and her way got more done). They built up his realisation she’s had a lot of aggro from the Red Guard Captain – one of several enmities set up - well.
The moment where the cadet watched Aramis (who they did show as being a wee bit rusty at times) and Porthos do a crazy Musketeer-pacifying Musketeer routine was fun.
Nice bit of holding back on showing Anne and then having Louis, after he’d won his son’s kisses, reveal the four Musketeers including Aramis are back. So she’ll be prepared and tense for when she sees him then. Don’t remember if Louis knows or suspects or what. Poor sensible Spanish-born queen.
On the other hand, I thought the regulars’ response to the revolutionaries who just want equality was all over the shop if they’re going to keep Sylvie and that thread, which seems likely, given the class issues among the baddies.
*realisation according to my French dictionary.
