Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2005 historical fiction / fantasy show that revolves around a team of Musketeers: D'Artagnan (Tobias Mehler), the son of the D'Artagnan made famous by Alexandre Dumas; Ramon Montalvo Francisco de la Cruz (Zak Santiago), a Spanish poet; Siroc (Mark Hildreth), a genius inventor; Jacqueline Roget / Jacques Leponte (Karen Cliche), a woman disguised as a man; and Captain Martin Duval (Bruce Boxleitner), the fearless team leader.Together they battle evil — Cardinal Mazarin (Michael Ironside) and his henchmen, naturally — fighting for a young King Louis XIV (Robert Sheehan).A victim of PAX's constant budget cuts and lack of audience, Young Blades ran for only one season of thirteen episodes and has no official DVD release.Has an episode recap page.Not to be confused with the 2001 movie Young Blades, starring Hugh Dancy, which featured young versions of the three Musketeers and D'Artagnan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Advertised Extra: Sheena Easton as Queen Anne. She has spot in the opening credits despite appearing for about a minute each in two of the first five episodes — and her appearance in "The Exile" is just to explain that she's gone on vacation and a Suspiciously Similar Substitute will take her place. She gets a larger role in "Secrets of the Father," "Four Musketeers and a Baby" and "The Girl from Upper Gaborski," but still doesn't appear at all in 6 out of 13 of the episodes.

Action Prologue: Subverted in the first episode, which begins in the middle of an intense swordfight that is revealed to be a friendly play between siblings.

comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: The highwayman in "Four Musketeers and a Baby" builds his image around this, targeting coaches with women in them, flirting, and giving them scarves as keepsakes. It reaches the point where women write ballads about him and ride around in a carriage trying to get robbed. It's implied that he gets pardoned in the end in part because Queen Anne herself falls into this mindset. Seeing this trope in action prompts Louis to dress as the highwayman in order to become more attractive to women.
