Oh horror, Mordaunt is still alive... (not -- surely not -- canonical?)
And there is a Part Four to this series, which I had not anticipated, assuming it was only three episodes like the others. Makes sense, as we are very far from being anywhere near the end of the book, although I have absolutely no idea what happens next. The Fronde, presumably.
The book appears to follow Athos and Aramis, while the screen version instead follows the fate of Porthos and d'Artagnan (captured by Jussac, which again is probably not strictly as in the original!), so I can't read up to clarify those events without spoiling myself for future scenes. The comedy stuff with Mazarin and the pigeon post is probably not in there anyway :-p
( Discovered details of the duel with Mordaunt )
( Confusion over Athos' role beneath the scaffold )
Otherwise I got a few more scraps of dialogue, including bits that weren't in the subtitles, or even the novel -- Porthos' reference to being attacked by 400 men at the bastion at La Rochelle -- but I had basically picked up all the plot-important bits on the first time through, and couldn't make out the obscure sections even on repeat.
