The first Teaser Hangman has been worked out - you can find it here. So here is the second one for you to work on, along with cryptic clues about its subjects. Good luck!
The hangman has been solved, well done everyone!
The first picture clue has been solved. Simara + mirror image = Aramis
The second picture clue has been solved. Oaths + scrambled letters = Athos
Aramis is the main Musketeer highlighted this week - although all of them have some sort of character development. He and Emilie develop a spiritual and close relationship, as you would expect from two people holding the deep-seated beliefs they do. Athos is vital to the main story and also shares personal time with d’Artagnan, while Porthos receives unexpected news.
B and W won the first poll and have been added

C won the fifth poll and has been added
Nope, nothing to do with triangles.
ReplyDeleteA and A' like Aramis and Anne? Sorry, I have to see Annamis everywhere :D
ReplyDeleteLOL.....I see Annamis everywhere too!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this hangman!!!
Yes, me too! I hope there will be Annamis in this episode!! It must be!!
ReplyDeleteAramis' scheme... maybe?
ReplyDeleteWho needs letters? I'm just gonna start guessing. Does the first sentence by any chance start with "Aramis is the main character represented this time"? And there's a d'Artagnan hiding in sentence number 3 methinks.
ReplyDeleteSimara is Aramis backwards, Aramis plots?
ReplyDeleteIs that a Venn diagram Sandi? So, I'm thinking it is a reference to the actor, Charles Venn. Does the first clue have something to do with Charles? ;)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the site Bunnery! You've solved it without realising it there I think, lol. Simara is the first clue, and mirror image is the second = Aramis. Well done, that's one of the subject's of the hangman :)
ReplyDeleteI think there's definitely a D'Artagnan in there. Always good news.😄
ReplyDeleteNot bad going ;)
ReplyDeleteNot if you finally wanna get some Aramis news! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha kynikey!😄 there'll be lots of deliciousness for you to enjoy I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThat was quick kynikey. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm properly motivated now. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what can be done with a bit of motivation ;)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking kynikey's on fire. Could that be because of a certain *r*m**?
ReplyDeleteDo you think she will share him??? ;)
ReplyDeleteThat was amazingly clever and so quick Bunnery! Welcome.:)
ReplyDeleteHehe, I don't think we need a cryptic clue to answer that one! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Scoobie and Sandi! Happy to be here - I'm totally hooked on this show!!! (Especially Constance and D'Artagnan!)
ReplyDeleteHey, look at it like this: d'Artagnan's aaaall yours. Win/win?
ReplyDeleteThat's so unfair, there's two of us to share d'Artagnan! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll take him on days of the week ending in "Y" lol.:) On the plus side, the boy never tires....ask Constance...:)
ReplyDeleteThat would indeed be an epic win!:) There is this curly haired red head...but I could take her...lol
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll find a way to share that's a bit more...fair than Scoobie's suggestion. ;) On the other hand, she IS right about the endless energy, so I'm sure you'll be fine ;)
ReplyDeleteWho might be having her eye on a certain Mr. Ed, so she doesn't count right now. Plus: you snooze, you lose, Constance.
ReplyDeleteAh, that sounds like a better deal than Scoobie's! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fifth word could also be 'Musketeer'....?
ReplyDeleteThere had better be a D'Artagnan in there! :P
We can negotiate.:)
ReplyDelete*cough* Three..... ;)
ReplyDeleteSee, there HAD to be an advantage of being surrounded by d'Art-girls. No competition! :D
ReplyDeleteOnly if she's got conjunctivitis. I think he's got no chance. I've a feeling she'd scratch my eyes out...and she's got the wallop, Aramis knows all about that. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no...I knew I should have chosen Athos or Porthos. ;)
ReplyDeleteTotally true! (to part 1). We all know my feelings about part 2...lol (not that I don't like him, I just don't like him as much as Aramis...)
ReplyDeleteTimeshare?
ReplyDeleteWe're going to have to clone him.:)
ReplyDeleteCome on, weren't we talking about proper motivation earlier? Properly motivated, I'm sure you can take her. Plus, you know it's three against one.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Bunnery. Another member of team Constagnan! Our current motto, "It's got to get better than this!" :) We're hoping it'll soon be replaced by, "AGAIN!"
ReplyDeleteAs if there aren't enough of you already... ;) Where's all the Aramis love? (Oh wait, that's me) Where's all the Athos and Porthos love?!
ReplyDeleteNext stop...world domination....:)
ReplyDeleteBetter than having to share! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm still feeling burned by Marian dying in Robin Hood (7 years later!) so I'm very worried about our poor Constance. :( I'm praying she doesn't suffer the same fate as in the book.
ReplyDeleteCloning would be good ;)
ReplyDeleteSo this is where this cloning business is going....I see....
ReplyDeleteI like Aramis, but he just doesn't hit the spot with me. I'll keep fighting the other ladies for the young 'un!
ReplyDeletePlus I could throw in Constance Kryptonite, if he dies she's skint. She'd have MANY happy memories but hey, memories won't pay the rent sister.....:)
ReplyDeleteThe one thing we know about Aramis is that he can hit the spot....lol.
ReplyDeleteWell, he certainly hit mine ;)
ReplyDeleteHold on Helen and I are losing the signal in our under-ground lair.....
ReplyDeleteThat would be horrible and we're all keeping our fingers crossed that Constance will be with us for some time to come.
ReplyDeleteMultiple Madame D'Artagnan's all with massive grins on our faces...
ReplyDeleteThe only thing stupider than Marian's death in Robin Hood was how they ended the show with everyone ELSE dying. It was ludicrous! So yes, here's hoping some common sense has been found in the meantime and they know to leave Constance well alone. :/
ReplyDeleteCertainly to kill off Constance after a series loaded with so much angst, would be a really poor decision. We need to see these two finding some degree of happiness together. That gives you the sense of jeopardy you need if you're going to, in any way threaten their future. Right now, they don't have one. I think however, that will soon change and they will be reunited.
ReplyDeleteYeh, but can you say 'Matthew Crawley'? Downton spent three torturous, agony-filled, heart-wrenching seasons getting him and Lady Mary together, then finally they're married, happy, yada yada, and the day his son's born...wham. Car crash. End of. My faith in the phrase 'they've been through too much to end now' is permanently dented. I trust no one, least of all script writers. :(
ReplyDeleteOh, the directions this conversation could go in. ;) Best I stop now and get back to the hangman!! :P
ReplyDeleteAt least they had some happiness. So far Constagnan have had a handful of kisses, some pretty seismic sex, we presume, then a whole lot of emotional ping pong. At the moment, they're all over the place. There's so much that needs to be rebuilt before you can even consider taking a sledgehammer to it.
ReplyDeleteOnce we get that first letter kynikey will have it solved! :)
ReplyDeleteI have faith that they won't follow the book on that..totally agree with you about Marian's death on Robin Hood. :(
ReplyDeleteBack to the hangman would be great guys please. Otherwise there'll be so many posts to go through in here that I won't be able to see what's what when it comes to updating it :)
ReplyDeleteWe do have a general off-topic discussion post you can use for more general chatter here if you want - http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/01/the-spoilertv-community-open-discussion.html
He is rather gorgeous ;)
ReplyDeleteBut Downton Abbey is more of a realistic drama/soap opera so it didn't come out of left field to me as much. Robin Hood was a lighthearted adventure/romance - killing the heroine was completely out of character for the show. Plus - the entire plot had been built around the love triangle between her, Robin and Guy! (Grrr - still makes me mad!) I am trying to steel myself for the possibility of Constance dying because of the book, but if she does - as with Robin Hood I would never ever watch another episode (I even gave away my RH season 1 boxed dvd set). I have zero interest in the show without Costagnan.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with Kynikey and guess we've got "Aramis is the main character/musketeer......" in the first sentence. Beyond that I'm already stumped!
ReplyDeleteWell, considering we don't even have a letter yet, I think we're doing ok! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat, he most definitely is....
ReplyDeleteHow about, "Aramis is the main musketeer unconcerned about...."
ReplyDelete'Cough' four....
ReplyDeleteI hope there will be something !!
ReplyDeleteAlright, due to the "w" I guess I'll amend yesterday's guess to "Aramis is the main character represented this week"
ReplyDeleteVery close, just about to do the update which will help with that bit I think :)
ReplyDeleteAramis is the main Muskteer highlighted this week?
ReplyDeleteThat's the one :)
ReplyDelete"...although all of them have (or play?) some part in [no idea] [even less of an idea]."
ReplyDeleteSorry for giving you these cryptic parts, but I'm kinda slow today and I'm happy about every word I can be sure is right...lol
Haha you can never have enough constagnan fans!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good to me kynikey. Sorry, I've not been much help today! At the moment, I have pure guesswork for the other two lines, but hopefully with the next letter, I'll be able to help. :)
ReplyDeleteHhmm..."with D'Artagnan" in the second last line?
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought that too :)
ReplyDeleteNext word could be 'while' or 'which'? I'm so bored with the friggin' football booting our boys off, so I've been sitting here staring at the hangman instead.I need a life. :(
ReplyDeleteSame here - been watching on iPlayer as well! I'm wondering if the last word of the 3rd sentence is 'news'? Hopefully, the next letter will be up soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI just got off work, so I'll go update now :)
ReplyDeleteIs that 'come/with/'d'Artagnan' now for the 3rd line? Also, looks like 3rd word of 2nd line could be 'Emilie'.
ReplyDeletePossibly 'He/and/Emilie' for start of 2nd line?
ReplyDelete***m/*w*/ = /them/two/ ?
ReplyDeleteJust heading off for bed, but possibly " He/and/Emilie/discuss/a/ceasefire"? This could be totally wrong!
ReplyDeleteMight be /time/with/d'Artagnan/...
ReplyDelete/ **/***/*m****/*******/*/*********/
ReplyDelete/he/and/Emilie/discuss/a/ceasefire/ - Probably not, but it fits nicely! :P
Yep, spot on, nice one :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect. :)
ReplyDeleteI think we posted the same thing at the same time! Getting spooky.....!
ReplyDeleteCould the second last word be 'ultimately?
ReplyDeleteI thought the last part of sentence three might be "while [? Porthos maybe?] receives unexpected news."
ReplyDeleteProbably completely off-base, but "Athos is vexed by the move" as start of sentence no. 3?
ReplyDelete/Athos/is/v****/**/***/m***/*****/***/****/before/spending/time/with/D’artagnan/
ReplyDeleteOk, that was me, why do I show up as a Guest? Weird.
ReplyDeleteCan't be, b and g have already been used
ReplyDeleteDitto with the 'b'.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Right. So that's definitely not it.
ReplyDeleteI saw it was you when you posted, not Guest, although it's there now. Bit odd.
ReplyDeleteOK, then how about this. ../as/you/would*/expect/from/two/people..../
ReplyDeleteNow that I can get behind! :) (And makes a lot more sense than what I've come up with so far...lol). Might the "b" word towards the end of the sentence maybe be "beliefs"?
ReplyDeleteI said that! Does it not show up in what I posted? There's something techy screwy going on today! I put:
ReplyDelete/as/you/would/expect/from/two/people/having/the/deep-seated/beliefs/they/do./
Ah! No, your post seems to stop after "people". :( The site really doesn't seem to like us today. But that might definitely be it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for the first part of the sentence (with big gaps to fill still) maybe something along the lines of:
ReplyDeleteHe/and/Emilie/*******/a/spiritual/and/*****/relationship
Could the m word be many?
ReplyDeleteCould the final words be :discover/unforeseen/news?
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking "while Porthos receives unexpected news", but Sandi hasn't been around yet, so no idea if that's right. It seems, though, that the last sentence deals with the "other three" ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyone got any ideas on the picture clue? The second pic is 'letters' (I hope!) so maybe tied in with the last sentence about news, but the first?
ReplyDeleteI totally suck at the picture clues, so I'm not even gonna try...lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe second picture means Alphabet Letters or just letter.
ReplyDeleteMaybe for the last sentence: Athos is vital to/in the main story and also spends ******** time with d’Artagnan, while Porthos recieves unexpected news. ??
ReplyDelete(any other ideas for the "v****" word?)
Is the first picture an oath or promise? Or like being sworn in? Lol, just thinking out loud :p
ReplyDeleteCould the second picture clue be Athos? That the first picture could be "oaths" in plural, because there is lot of people. And the second picture could be mixed letters, showing us that we need mixed letters in the first word. And when we mixed letters in oaths, we can get Athos. I am not sure with using the word "mixed" is right, because english in not my first language, but I hope that you understand what I mean by it.
ReplyDeleteSounds good.😄
ReplyDeleteSpot on ;)
ReplyDeleteCorrect
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm not about much on Friday and Saturdays, lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate :) Yep that's it.
ReplyDeleteHow about "Athos is vital to the main story and also ? Soending time with D'artagnan. While Porthos receives unexpected news"
ReplyDeleteSpot on! :)
ReplyDeleteTotally spooky :) I've been out all day but looks like the hangman is coming on nicely now ;)
ReplyDeleteHow about "Athos is vital to the main story and also spends valuable time with D'artagnan. While Porthos receives unexpected news"
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I got something right! :P
ReplyDeleteYou've been brilliant Knitty. I can't hit a barn door on this one!😄
ReplyDeleteCould the missing word be "brotherly"?
ReplyDeleteIs the missing word 'close' from the second sentence? .../'close/relationship/...
ReplyDeleteI'm exhausted. LOL
ReplyDeleteMakes sense! I still think the last missing word is "develop", but since that can't be, we're still one word short here...or has someone else guessed it and I missed it?
ReplyDelete/Personal time/?
ReplyDeleteThat could definitely work. It makes sense that these two, whom we know develop a closer bond during this series, may confide in each other about their respective issues. I actually think it might be interesting and enlightening for D'Artagnan to hear Athos' struggle to come to terms with Milady, not only being back but sleeping with the King. Although they're very different circumstances, it may benefit him and give him some perspective, to hear from a man who has been repeatedly cheated on and deceived by his wife and who not only has to live with the reality that not only a young man he views as a brother but his own sovereign have both slept with the woman he remains tortured by.
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited by these hints of their relationship developing further. They really are more alike than they realise and such a friendship will benefit them both a great deal. Next to Constagnan, Athos and D'Artagnan are my favourite pairing, and it'd be lovely to see them have a special closeness like Porthos and Aramis do.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see D'Artagnan's friendship with Athos develop further, it was touched on during S1 - most notably in The Challenge - but it didn't quite have the depth that the Aramis / Porthos friendship did - though with Athos being the most 'closed off" of the four, that is probably understandable..
ReplyDeleteOne of D'Artagnan's main problems is his inability to understand that things aren't always straightforward and his hot headed reaction to his frustrations. That is a undoubtedly a result of his immaturity. If anyone can help him grasp the complexity of life, it's Athos.a
ReplyDeleteI think Porthos is the only one with his head screwed on when it comes to romance, lol.. He doesn't fall for married women, the Queen of France or murderesses.. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's only because his heart really belongs to Aramis. :P
ReplyDeleteThat's the one. I'll sort the post out :)
ReplyDeleteNew love interest for Aramis...?
ReplyDeletei hope Porthos receive good news.
ReplyDeleteNot at all...
ReplyDeleteReally? You sure? Huh. Would have been interesting to see him have one.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. With what's been hinted at by Treville and General De Fois about his father and whatever terrible secret they've kept from him, I think dear Porthos is headed for some pretty traumatic revelations soon. :(
ReplyDeleteAramis has got enough woman trouble as it is without adding another to the mix! In fact it wouldn't surprise me if, following the news about Adele, the fate of Isobel and his rather gigantic faux pas in sleeping with the Queen, it wakes him up to how dangerous his charms can be and makes him more wary in future of getting involved.
ReplyDeleteYou´re probably right. I would just like to see him happy and in love for once. But, alas, there is time for that later.
ReplyDeletei think sadly the problem with Aramis is he probably never WILL be happy and in love like that. He seems to have realised this himself, in the conversation with Anne at the convent when he understood how wrong he'd been about his relationship with Isobel. He'd seen what he wanted to see as a young, in-love romantic, instead of grasping the true, cold reality of the situation. Until he's reconciled himself with this, and met someone available who doesn't buy into the flirtatious/womanising/charming routine but sees the man BEHIND it all, as Anne did in that scene, I think it will be hard for him to find that happiness. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving the sound of this episode. It feels like everything is now being set up for the remainder of the series. I think you're right Knitty42. I think he'll receive news that his father is still alive.
ReplyDeletePoor Porthos . He respect Treville. Treville betrayal be very painfull to him
ReplyDeleteLike Knitty says, he's already got more than enough woman trouble on the go as it is really. I think it's good that they don't keep piling his plate ever higher without dealing with what is there already.
ReplyDeleteAh, you make a very good point, or points, as the case may be.
ReplyDelete
