Souris

Rochefort is not Anne's brother. He was her French "tutor" when she was sent to marry Louis.

I can't remember if it was Tom Servo or Crow T. Robot who said this immortal line, but I use it often: "Jeez, I'd slap this movie if I could." I substitute "show" for "movie."

Damn, that was a great episode! Totally jam-packed and got me right in the feels in several places. Doctor Lemay! ::sobs:: I can't see any way that Rochefort makes it out of the season still in power, because it's reached such a tipping point that either he prevails or the Musketeers and Queen do -- and given that the show is called The Musketeers and not Rochefort, and the show would go wildly historically AU with the Queen convicted of treason, I'm putting my money on Team Good Guys. I could see Rochefort escaping to turn back up at some future point, but of course I'm hoping for his death at the point of a sword. So they ended up in the same room in the convent where Anne and Aramis slept together -- where it began and where it basically ended, because you know they won't dare go near one another again. Argh, my poor shipper heart, but I completely knew it was coming.

Ah, you were in Raleigh. A few of my friends are there, and another friend is going tomorrow mainly to see Joel Hodgson.

If the final round is CS vs. Ichabbie, as it looks now, Ichabbie will be VERY tough to beat. They've been the top vote getters in every round (there's a link where they rank all the couples by vote total, and Ichabbie has been No. 1 all along).

Orlando Jones posted a link on Twitter to vote for Colin in the Zap2it social media poll (sadly, he's losing badly to Sam Heughan, but CS fans are pretty occupied at the moment with the E! poll). I screencapped it and posted it on Tumblr -- and Orlando Jones himself Liked it within a minute of me posting it. Somebody is trolling his own tag, LOL!

A is for the Actors, who often manage to make silk purses out of narrative sow's ears.

The finale will be Operation Mongoose part 2. That'll be Ep 22.

Aw, keep voting every now and then at least!

CS has dropped over four points today. I worry CS fans have gotten too complacent about the lead.

12 millions UGHs.

Because they don't actually care about Emma. She's just set dressing for Regina's story, like everybody else on the show.

That sounds familiar!

We need to keep an eye on it, though, since there is still so much time left. I don't think CS fans are power-voting as much as last round because of the big lead, but it has dropped a couple of points. Each round lasts way too long!

My tumblr dash has been so dead. Everybody must be voting!

Oh, no, Dani-Ellie, I am SO sorry and sad for you! I was so hoping she'd be OK. There's just nothing easy about that situation, regardless of whether you were expecting it might happen or not.

Or maybe the Apprentice is sort of like The Ghost of Christmas Future showing her what it would be like. Though of course they have to include Emma along for the ride to create the SQ fantasy. Though I don't know why Henry wouldn't just cease to be in either case, since Emma and Neal wouldn't have met if the curse wasn't cast. They'll hand wave it somehow. (Pay no attention to the plot hole behind the curtain!) And, of course, they will show that Regina was actually a HERO for casting the curse and should be celebrated for it, since she made everyone's lives better, doncha know. The kingdom has probably overthrown Snowing for being crap rulers. Ruby has eaten a string of boyfriends. Archie fell prey to a hungry toad in his cricket form. That sort of thing.

Apparently Colin sang "All About That Bass" constantly to Merrin Dungey while they were filming, according to her Twitter. That desperately needs to be on the S4 DVDs.

It sounds to me like an SQ fantasy/wet dream -- just Regina, Emma and Henry alone together, with the Apprentice there as ... the priest to marry them? LOL. I expect Emma and Regina are trying to #SaveHenry and be reunited with their son. Clearly I've lost all emotional attachment to the show, because instead of being furious at the blatant fanservice pandering, I'm just rolling my eyes, snarking and LOLing.

Ugh. It sounds like an SQ version of the CS movie from last season.

I think this should be in the Spoiler thread, no?

Yeah, I don't know if the interview thing is legit or not. That's going around Tumblr, but I don't know where it came from. Maybe it's based on past years? Or it could just be a fanon belief that has sprung from collective desire.

I want to believe it will be Hook to pull her back, and on another show I probably would. On another show, it would be. But its TS, TW, so I'm still convinced it will be Regina. There are kind of competing spoilers out there, with the "Hook will have to protect Emma's heart" but also Lana saying Regina would help keep Emma from going dark.

I shake my head that anybody would buy that clearly fake site's post. But there's a reason that "Nigerian princes" send out spam appeals for money.

Heh, Belichik'd. Shipping is not for the faint of heart.
