Four episodes in and I still have no idea of why D'Artagnan is still around. At least in the books they explain this stuff right away.

In the books he joins some other regiment that is like a step before Musketeer, which makes sense

Here he's just...around?

And involved in Musketeer business like whoa

I mean seriously how the hell is he even allowed to guard the King when he's nobody

Also how is he making any money

I really hope this gets addressed

While it doesn't take from the show that much (and it's been pretty good so far) it's the little things that bother me

He's a Musketeer in training! He hangs around and tries to prove himself with the musketeers in hopes of earning the Kings commission to

be formally counted as a Musketeer

is this ever mentioned? migth have missed it

in the novel he joins something like a branch unit until he becomes a musketeer

Ummmmm it's never explicitly mentioned that I'm aware of. But I'm fairly certain there are some casual references to trying to get a

commission and then 8 deals with it all entirely

oh well
