EP7 ReviewOk this might come off as a rant, but I did like the episode. So let me just jump in. Try to keep up with my scatter brain!
I loved the opening scene obviously from the gifs I posted! Their fights scenes are awesome, but one thing I noticed and this is my first complaint especially with this episode is how bloody it was! Seriously! I was so glad I wasn't eating dinner or I certainly would've lost mine!
This isn't TO! I mean there was blood everywhere which they've never done before, did anyone else notice that? It's like they were going for the gore factor or something. I've got to give a shout out to Hugo for his performance! That was so intense with them trying to do surgery on him! It almost had me in tears, but again I had to look away for most of it so I wouldn't
I really hope they don't turn this into a horror show.
I know there is blood when people die, but I don't need to see it in vivid detail!
I'll go ahead and get the other things that bothered me out of the way. Poor Constance! I am sick of them having such violence against women this season! That was the 2nd time she'd been slapped!
Thank you Louise for putting us all out of our misery by ending Bonacieux! May he not rest in peace!
What an absolute low life!
Trying to curse and damn D'artagnan and Constance!
D'artagnan! Couldn't you have washed your hands BEFORE you go to tell her that her husband is dead! I mean why don't you freak her out a little more and make her have a guilty conscience of wanting to be with you! Now she will carry the image of literally having his blood on her hands forever! Not to mention it's just unsanitary! I also wish we'd gotten to see her reaction to it. Maybe next week.
Why are they making Aramis look like a complete idiot!!
Does he really think Marguerite is happy with him just dumpling her like that? And she is an idiot for asking him if it's really over! Did she not get a clue last week when he completely ignored her!!!
This was written by one of the girls on tumblr which summed up how I felt about the Aramis/Marguerite scene:
Even though this scene actually made me wonder whether Aramis had lost his brain along with his crucifix (Seriously dude? „Hey, that’s so rad that you’re down with us breaking up, too! Look at you crying tears of joy! Thank god I don’t need to have ruining your life on my conscience along with all the other treasonous shenanigans I’m up to!“), he was exceptionally pretty in it. So I forgive him for being stupid and merely hope it’s not becoming a permanent affliction.
Amen to that! I really hope they have Aramis get it together next season and have him think about his actions because they do have consequences just like Marmion said! Last season he seduced a woman for money and now he used Marguerite to be close to his son. I get why he did it with Marguerite, but now it's coming back to bite him in the butt in a BIG way!!! The necklace!!!! WHY!! WHY!! WHY!!
did it have to be something that Rochefort gave Anne?
It seems tainted now.
It doesn't feel special anymore.
She gave him a necklace from a total psychopath who's only going to become even more unhinged now that he found out about it!!
Heaven help us all!
After last week I wish we'd had more interaction with Anne and Aramis too.
Ok now that I got all that out of my system I'll talk about what I did like.
I loved seeing all the guys working together which is the highlight of the show as always for me!!
All their scenes together or each of them paired off doing detective work was just!
I loved how concerned they all were for Treville and were working together to save him. You can tell he really is like a father to all of them. Porthos saying that the person responsible would answer to him! Boy did he!!! Awesome fight scene!!
I guess the guy would rather be dead than in jail or hanged. I can't really blame him, but grabbing the sword and killing himself!!! :-/Brutal!
shoe20 So this entire thing was a setup by Rochefort to kill his way to the top? Those were his own men in the beginning that were fighting the Musketeers? Red Guards? Seriously the man has no shame! Your girl is a survivor! I liked the scene with her and Athos too. I can't believe she stood there and just watched Treville get shot!
She can never change who she truly is which to me is bad. With her finding out all that info at the end I wonder what she's going to do with it?
In the promo for next week she's talking to Rochefort about Anne and Aramis and how if they slept together it's treason!! Please don't tell me she's working with him!!!!
I really hope she somehow gives this info to Athos and helps them. Do you think the treason is Anne's affair with Aramis or the letters she wrote to her brother? If this comes out about Aramis then obviously the other guys will find out which I'm very curious to see their reactions. I know they will be supportive and understand why he kept it a secret, but it will be fun to watch!
I loved the scene with Treville deciding to come clean with Porthos about his father.
Porthos seemed understanding and will probably forgive Treville for keeping it from him. He obviously loves and respects him because he's the only father he's really ever known so I'm looking forward to next week even though I'm VERY anxious for EP9 & 10. Then I realized it will be over for the season and that will make me very sad!
shoe20 About Louis! I thought he was getting a little too close to Rochefort as well! I thought he was going in for another hug maybe a kiss on each cheek!
He seems to love Rochefort more than anyone else right now!! Boy is he in for a VERY rude awakening in the next few episodes! Rochefort is certainly going to rock his world!
I wish they hadn't killed Louise/Sophie?Sophia I really liked her. She was good actress. She should've played Marguerite. Maybe I'd have cared for the character a little more. I was so bored with Marguerite she could almost put me to sleep! Sorry I have no sympathy for her!
Even the Cardinal thought Rochefort was too crazy to let out of prison! "He wasn't of sound mind!" Isn't that how he put it!
I wonder if Athos will get a chance to become Capt? From the looks of the next few episodes with them harboring the queen for her safety I seriously doubt it? What will happen with Treville? Will he be reinstated? I LOVE the looks the guys give Rochefort!!
Seriously one of my favorite things in the episode! They're so use to him putting them down now it doesn't even phase them anymore! They're like whatever dude!
So there is my very long review/rant. Yes I did like it believe it or not even though I had a few issues. I'll probably have more to say after I hear some more of y'all's thoughts!
