In a stunning turn of events, Iroh of the Fire Nation has dethroned Steve Blueclue and is now moving on to round 4! His challenger: Laios Touden of Dungeon Meshi!
i love s1 of doctor who. name a scene more iconic than them mourning planet earth with a 'tradition earth balllad' and they blast toxic by britney spears
With a lead of nearly 2.5 lightyears, the race has been called for Uncle Iroh early in round 5. He therefore now moves on to his next potential victim, our very own heavenly news anchor, Castiel of Supernatural. Begin the suffering.
[I know, I know... I'm terribly late to this party (only managed to watch in Dec 2022 despite having known about it since 2014) but thanks for allowing me to share this with you! 😃]

There's a whole lot to love about The Musketeers, especially the cast 💕, but the MUSIC is definitely near the top of my list. It was a treat to get a title sequence from this epic series as they are pretty rare these days.

Series One
Ryan Gage having no direct corresponding image is minor compared to Hugo Speer, whose sequence only consists of a silhouette with a shiny fleur-de-lis. I know Treville all but formed the Musketeers here but c'mon! 🤦♀️
Also, check out Athos' smirk around 0:15, lol.

Series Two
Still no corresponding sequence for Ryan Gage but hey, at least we can now see Hugo Speer. Progress!

Series Three
At last! Everyone has (more or less) their own sequence, although Aramis popping out from behind Athos at Tom Burke's credit cracks me up each time. Perhaps it's keeping with how Tom is introduced throughout the series but I prefer to think of it as a validation of what we all know, that Athos and Aramis are #two sides of the same coin! 😆
I also liked how they sequenced Matthew McNulty's credit here. And they replaced the silhouette of the three (and not even the original three musketeers) raising their swords/rapiers together with one showing all four of the boys. About time! #the inseparables
This video has the closing credits as well, but I'm just here for the music. 😬

Final Thoughts
How great is that (most?) British (Merlin, Miss Scarlet and the Duke) and Canadian (Murdoch Mysteries, Hudson & Rex) series still have title sequences? Oh, have a listen, if you haven't yet, to the title theme from Star Trek: Picard Season One. #pretty good
Next: The Musketeers' Theme
Part Two | Three | Four | Five
Oh, boy! The ending to the 2005 Doctor Who Theme used to kinda scare me when I was a kid! 😨 Still kinda does! I think it was the white noise sound that creeped me out the most, the way it fades away was just unnerving to me! 😰
You know, the more I think about it, Nine regenerating after one season was a brilliant way to get new viewers used to the concept of the character changing their face. A lot of people get attached to “Their” Doctor and its harder to accept a new one.
While it would have been neat to see a second season, it kind of worked out, too.
