Don't forget, UK BASED FOLKS! The Three Musketeers on BBC tonight, at 9pm! Gosh, Peter Capaldi as Richelieu and Santiago Cabrera as Aramis! Mwah! \o/
Also, speaking of Aramis. I really hope this show will dig deeper into his background, especially into his connection to Richelieu. AFAIK, only the movie with Chris O'Donnell ever even mentioned it. I mean, Aramis was the go-to guy for Queen Anne, it was he who helped organize her clandestine meetings with the Duke of Buckingham. How could a lowly musketeer do that? We know that he had wanted to be a priest before he joined the musketeers and since he obviously still has some very powerful connections, he must have been high-born, he must have known Richelieu personally... And yet, no adaptation EVER explored that! Gosh, I wish and hope that this time they do. Can you imagine Aramis as Richelieu's protégé? *_*
