Versailles season 3 thoughts

I just finished my Versailles rewatch and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the last season

- I HATE Madame de Maintenon so much you have no idea

- Three of her worst crimes: getting Liselotte’s baby taken away, firing Chev as master of ceremonies, and starting the whole ‘get rid of the Protestants’ thing

- It was very cathartic when her nude portraits got exposed

- We really took Madame de Montespan for granted

- You know it’s bad when you hate another mistress more than the one who participated in an attempted baby sacrifice

- I don’t like the ‘man in the iron mask’ plot line very much, I just don’t find it that interesting

- The whole thing was just Phillipe getting gaslit until the end

- RIP Maria-Theresa, you were a girlboss

- (the way she died is my WORST NIGHTMARE, I have a bug phobia, especially them crawling into my ears/nose/mouth)

- CHEVALIER’S HAIR THIS SEASON IS SO AMAZING

- They also give Liselotte way better hairstyles this season, she looks so pretty with her hair in a braid

- I don’t like the Paris people at all, sorry they are boring

- I know a lot of people like Guillaume but I don’t care about him

- I don’t like Delphine (I call her ‘that woman’) because I feel like she is taking advantage of Chev

- Like he is risking his life to help her and her friends and she is like “I wouldn’t marry you if you were the last person on earth”

- It was better towards the end I guess but I’m not a fan of their relationship

- I do love bi Chev though <3

- When they burned down Delphine’s father’s house I was like nooooo that house is so pretty

- I do respect her for keeping her faith but she needs to think about self preservation more

- If it was me I would just lie about being Catholic and continue to be Protestant in secret (I’m Lutheran irl)

- I hate the Vatican but I hate Louis even more

- I actually really like Colbert (RIP)

- The Portuguese infanta was kinda slay and Louis was super rude to her

- Louis thinking he is a god makes me so angry

- Can I just point out how during the thaumaturgy Louis didn’t even touch the people??? He just hovered his hands over them like he didn’t want to get dirty poor people germs

- Why did they have to do that to Fabien :( let him go be with Sophie or something

- This season is just Louis being stupid

- Last three episodes: screaming crying throwing up

- Love Monchelotte at the end though

- Overall: imo it is the worst season but still worth watching

Is anyone else literally INFURIATED by Madame de Maintenon? Like there are so many reasons why I hate her. I think one of the worst things she did was getting Liselotte’s baby taken away. On rewatch I was just fuming over how fucked up that is. I also hate how she isn’t forthcoming about her intentions and acts so pious and ‘godly’ even though she wants power. Like Madame de Montespan was a manipulative social climber but at least she was out right about it. When she fired Chevalier as master of ceremonies I was RAGING like noooooo. Also even though I don’t like Delphine I think that it was awful for Madame de Maintenon to backstab her, someone she used to be friends with, and basically try to get rid of all the Protestants. Season 3 is literally so hard to get through because of her. She in my opinion is the most hateable character in Versailles (Thomas is a close second). Anyways, that’s my rant lol.
