i wish that season three could’ve been for benedict so that in the side plots we could’ve seen way more development with penelope and colin instead of whatever tf that was… like wdym one second “i would never dream of courting her” to the next “i would die for her” MAKE UP YOUR MIND SIDEBURNS

They couldn't drag out lady w storyline line out longer tho. Truth is this story could have been accomplished with good writing

[@ickybrain]

@@Peayou... maybe they could’ve made lady whistle down insult the queen down somehow so she would’ve have to lay low, creating a barrier between colin and pen, and then having that in the background while benedict has his storyline

EXACTLY

[@LunaSilvermon]

Yes, especially because Benedict’s story in season 3 was completely pointless 😩

[@TangentialTif]

I think my biggest problem this season was that they prioritized the drama over the romance in a romance show. I mean we all love for the drama, but if the mid-season cliffhanger had been Colin finding out about Whistledown then we could have dealt with his whiney boy era before the sexy times and maybe we could have actually enjoyed them instead of cringing through them thinking about what was coming up when he found out. He also could have gotten over himself faster. It just felt like a wasted season because they were only really happily married for like 5 minutes at the end.

I think Lady Danbury’s anger makes more sense when you consider it with the context we gained in Queen Charlotte. Agatha was groomed, from a very young age, to be her geriatric husband’s perfect wife. She had to love his favorite color, eat his favorite foods, be the type of woman he desired. Her individuality was stripped away to suit him. Then she was repeatedly raped over the course of their marriage and forced to bear his children. In QC, we see that Agatha LOATHED her husband. She would scrub her skin after being raped and feared getting pregnant again. That level of intense and pervasive trauma doesn’t go away easily. He might have been 10 but Agatha’s marriage benefitted his family, especially when her husband became part of the Ton/titled. Also, trauma doesn’t have an expiration date. This was their first time seeing each other since he ratted her out, it makes sense that her hurt would bubble back to the surface.

I am so over the story of 'woman who does not fit modern beauty standards only gets over her body insecurities because of male validation'. In actual life, I have see no correlation between 'fitting conventional beauty standards' and 'not being insecure'. Confidence is a gift we gift ourselves, it is not sustainable if it's only created through external validation.

[@dianadelaconcha259]

So Penelope being a spinster makes more sense in the books timeline. Because Netflix decided to do the storyline out of order, it kind of messes up a lot of things. In the book timeline, Penelope is 28 during this period. So whenever people think she's a spinster or she talks about how she's a spinster, it makes a lot more sense in the books. Netflix pushing up her timeline, yet keeping all the elements and comments of her being a spinster made it really confusing and laughable. It also makes more sense that it is difficult for her to part ways with her "Lady Whistledown" persona since she's been writing her for 10 years. It became a huge part of her identity.

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Woman, the blush is BLUSHING today in your look. Summer is definitely here!

[@eldritchbaobun9976]

Your Colin opinions are so true and so brave. And no shade to the actor, because it wouldn't be as bad for him if the writers didn't try to force him to be the debonair "rake" trope (again, we already got that with every other male lead anyway), they should have just let him be the dweeb we know him to be. That could have been cute and different. Also, I think Penelope changed her look because she was wearing the clothes her mom told her to, not what she wanted to wear. Anyway, love the vid!

[@katiesmith2447]

They really messed up his character. Reading through comments, who does everyone love? Suave Colin? Nope. It's cheese loving Mr. Finch.

[@funkycrawler619]

There is explicit dialogue stating he isn't a raking and trying to be one for the sake of conforming to society...if you hated him as a rake then you should cause that is what is explictly stated...he isn't a rake and he is the only man to get down on his knees to profess his love so...

[@Slm99]

Honestly, Cressida deserves better. The show did her dirty, and honestly, I like a reverse Odysseus, so I'm team Pen and Colin. Plus, I forgot about season 2. The biggest villain this season was Eloise where is her character development.

[@blehhggg]

nah she was a genuinely a bad person

[@blueblack3591]

Yes she was so selfish

[@TangentialTif]

The Queen’s wigs were amazing this season. I’m not sure how Golda can actually wear them but she does it magnificently. 👑

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

Making this season about Colin and Penelope was such a massive mistake. Because the tension in regard to them, their love story and everything with Whistledown is over now. Everything expected with that storyline of everything I just mentioned was absolutely wasted. Colin’s undying love for Pen came out of absolutely nowhere. Pen’s character development is non existent. The whole reveal to everyone about Whistledown felt like it didn’t even matter. And everything about this season is so painfully rushed and all over the place. I know none of us watch Bridgerton for the good writing but Jesus Christ, at least the first two seasons didn’t feel like this one.

[@funkycrawler619]

The entire build up was S1/S2. The only thing that is different from this season to prior is that it did have build up. All the allusions to past season show Colin had strong feelings for Penelope but he never realized she can be more than a friend. Colin is the one who seeks her out at the dances, Colin is the one who asks her to dance, Colin is the one who writes her letters and is happy she responds. It wasn't rushed at all...i'd argue waiting til Ep 4 for them to come together was still too slow in some ways.

[@madelion24]

I hated that they ruined John & Francesca's love. I don't care Michael's a woman, but they should have done a slow burn unrequited love from Michaela's POV NOT Francesca.

Season 3 was a flop for me and I can’t believe we have to wait another 2 years for 8 more episodes. They need to have another Spinoff. Preferably for Violet and Edmund and Kate and Anthony (since they like to hide all their milestones offscreen) 🙄

[@mykalaranger5765]

The thing that gets me abt Colin is that they leaned into the wrong trope. Colin's charm comes from his boy-next-door, puppy dog eyes, curious and sunshine-y personality. Instead of giving us that they tried to make him this hunky sex symbol and it just didn't translate well which is a shame

[@katiesmith2447]

Well at least we now have Mr. Finch.

[@Peayou...]

Personally I really connected with her love story becuase it wasn't grand and she was able to be awkward and sweet not this big thing. So when she stumbled over herself it devalued her love story with the man she just married

[@ja_santana]

I was SO ANNOYED by the queen interrupting the wedding just to poke someone who writes gossip without one single proof about their identity...like, OMG, get a life lol. I liked Lord Debling over Colin as a pair for Penelope because their "friends to lovers" trope wasn't good developed and really lacked the begging and love affirmations from him towards her - ALSO, that hole conversation with Cressida about writing and privilege should had been with Pen, for God's sake!!! Pen's speech at the ball, saying that she was fascinated about the life of those people was also so lame...When her sister released the "bugs" no one gave a damn anymore about all the mean things and exposure Pen did on that paper...

I wish we got more of that yearning. Even though he is pissed and she doesn’t want to give up her dreams, they are just so in love and lustful for each other they can’t keep their hands off. Just feels stupid to have that steamy make out sesh if they weren’t goinn to go down that route. Immediately after that he returns to not wanting to be around her 🙄

[@bbygrljayroseee]

ahh appreciate your well-balanced takes!! your vibes remind me a bit of Kennie JD and her bad movies in a beat series, your makeup is deadly!! i feel as though the story for this season is the first draft for me. [this opinion comes from reading and writing too many fanfics so pls take a grain of salt] what's a common but unspoken hurdle in writing is that you can't just apply all of your ideas into one story with an even shorter run time, because like you said!! there are EIGHT children we have to experience. so i noticed the ideas each bridgerton was given but it's the execution is where it's awkward. And so when a season rolls around i like to view it as an 'all-you-can=eat buffet' where i choose which story line to follow and skip the rest because of the 'meh execution' we’ve come to expect. i dont know if youre aware of this movie, but Emma [2020] was what i expected from Pen and Colin because of the similiar traits they both have. Emma and Mr Knightley are the classic friends to lovers trope [jane austen you will ALWAYS be famous] and!!! not only it established their dynamic by showing the casual intimacy [that pen and colin did NAWT have] but we the audience were able to empathise and root for them to be together. I found myself confused at best with this season because I’m not confident of their casual intimacy. like yeah they’re friends…… but where’s the sauce??

[@Aurora-lp9sn]

ugh from the minute he appeared on camera Colin was just not doing it for me!! I found him so much more attractive in s2, they really didn’t need to yassify him and cosplay him as a pirate to try and make him more appealing. He looked so wholesome, sweet and sensitive before, and while I get that he was apparently just doing the whole rake thing for show, it wasn’t made clear why he felt the need to change himself so much. Especially after travelling and going away so often in previous seasons, and claiming to ‘find himself’ each time he returned. ugh idk. His bouffant hair and high collared cloaks were highkey giving me creepy vampire vibes. There was also something going on with his eyes that put me off…they just never seemed tender or to express enough. He showed more tenderness of expression when he had a storyline with Marina, not sure why he struggled with that with Pen. But perhaps that’s on the actors own abilities. For me, Penelope really carried their interactions, and their entire relationship if i’m honest. She had more chemistry with that naturalist Lord D, and I’m not ashamed to say I was even rooting for them! He was the first man to actually see and appreciate Pen without having to be taught or enlightened to her. Colin was just…there. They made him a shell of a character this season and it’s such a shame considering the potential Colin had. Not one flashback scene of his and Pen’s early friendship, or of his travels abroad, or the letters he and Pen exchanged…If anything this season was more about the unravelling of the Whistledown secret than about the love story between Polin. And that’s where they messed up, by making Polin’s long awaited love story a subplot to the main plot of Whistledown’s unveiling. *sigh* Season 3 was badly written, ill-thought out, and just truly unsatisfying. I will say though, they had a mountain to climb trying follow Kanthony. Season 2 completely set the bar for Brigerton, it was the shows high water mark without question. Sadly, Kanthony’s scenes in Season 3 were the only thing motivating me to keep going.

[@kiaraivey1211]

Honestly. This season was boring to me & drew too much attention away from the main couple. And I hate Colin’s reason to love Penelope. I’m not convinced he loves her for herself, but more so how she makes him feel & validates his ego. I’m more invested in Francesca’s story. It’s upsetting that a main character with a bigger body has the worst season too. I’m not a season 1 truther, and obviously season 2 will most likely never be topped because it was dripping with chemistry & everyone being developed in a stronger sense, but this season just fell flatter than flat for me. And that made me sad. I wanted more for Pen.

[@toluwanimirufai6617]

Pen's excuses for writing about Colin were a bit gross. She was lashing out at him because she was angry, hurt and jealous, but as you said, that is the sort of conversation that should be kept between the two of them. The conversation they did have about it was great, but also soured by her initial response. She wants him the way she wants him, and didn't like that he changed, yet she's never once bothered to ask him why. Him believing that she lacks respect for him is completely understandable. I know she's a gossip, and a fundamental lack of consideration for other people's feelings and privacy is a given, but he was her friend for a long time. He always protected her, and saw her when nobody else did. What happened in 2x08 sucks, but one incident shouldn't negate all those years. Besides, Pen's intentional, pre-meditated, public attack on him was much worse than Colin's one-off, spur-of-the-moment comment to a limited number of people. All their conversations in S3 have been primarily focussed on her, largely because she let him believe he needed to earn back her friendship, when she'd already gotten her petty revenge. Her crush on him may have been one-sided in the first two seasons, but their friendship never was, until this season. Whether it's because the writers listened to all that toxic, entitled nonsense people kept saying about wanting to see Colin grovel, which is really gross, or for some other reason, that does not make for a healthy dynamic. I mean, she wanted him so badly for so long, but now that she has his love, she cares more about her ego? She'd really choose trashy gossip over the life she could have with him? Really?! Also, you were spot on about Eloise and Colin loyally keeping Pen's secrets, no matter how hurt and angry they were about them. Which is kind of ironic, since Penelope herself has little respect for anyone else's secrets.

[@bestieedu]

Yes. I really wished she let go of LW for her love of Eloise and Colin. Is not fun to have a friend who's letting the world know your secrets. I love Pen, but LW should have ended. There are other ways she could have been a writer.

[@Sunnysunshine626]

I love Penelope so much. She is my favourite character and I was so let down by season 3. I was so looking forward to it. Colin needed more. He needed to be more interesting and sweet. I’m a nerd (gonna own it) and I adore fandom Colin from fanfics and so on. The fandom writes him ten times better! They make him funny, sweet and interesting! Like I so badly wish Colin was written like that in canon…and I wish Penelope had rejected the proposal and we got the fandom version of Colin grovelling to his brothers about Penelope not wanting him anymore! Also I wanted Colin to know about Penelope being Mrs Whistledown before he proposed and to be frank, when he asked her if she was going to marry him or not, I thought she was going to just say ‘I’m lady whistledown’ ALSO the comment about Penelope entrapping him! And Penelope didn’t react! Like gal! Please!!

I kinda blame the shift in power behind the scenes because after two great seasons. Then this sudden shift to someone who wants to change absolutely everything. It gave a little whiplash. (Idc if you call me a hater. It’s how I feel.) It was too ambitious for what was going on. Each season focused on one character being the A plot and lady Whistledown being the B plot. Then they DID have the time crunch with only the 8 episodes. So maybe they should’ve just focused on like one big A plot and small B plot for the season. Then at the VERY end. Focus more on the B plot and the start of the C plot with Cressida. Cut out everything else that doesn’t have to do with the Bridgerton family.

[@velmamay7658]

And the cut the Colin 3 ways.

[@nordalilah810]

Colin is not charismatic leading man, because colin's characteristic is not a charismatic, He is a sensitive and a lover, He is a middle child who did not get much respect from his family, only Pen takes him seriously.

[@TheBroadwalk]

I genuinely felt bad for Cressida despite her being a total B*tch. I feel she acts that way considering she was never shown love in her household the same way Bridgertons were. And the fact that she had no genuine friends. Even Eloise just befriended her to make Pen jealous. Everyone kinda just uses her. She did what she had to do to run away and get out, doing horrendous things along the way. Her speech about how not everyone is lucky enough to be born into a family that loves them really made me sympathize with her alot.

Don't look for modern fiction to indicate what was the social norms of the time. Penelope was not of an unmarriagable age, that's ridiculous. Even Lizzie Bennett was 2 years older than Pen, her sister Jane is 4 and both Fetherington sisters are older and are both brides. Penelope is being hysterical (in the traditional sense of the word) she is by no means too old. As for Kate, although probably considered a spinster at 27, Anne Elliot from Persuasion was the exact same age and women a little older, like Emma Woodhouse's Governess Miss Taylor, married a Gentleman who was a widower, proving that it isn't necessarily ever to late to marry, if you wanted to, it was just in a world where people tended to stay married until death, options were not as plentiful.

Sigh. It had so much potential, but to me it failed the standards of the romance genre. Colin wasn't believable as a rake (and PS. we were told Anthony & Simon were rakes, but never had to SEE it) so why make him one? In previous seasons he was cutie 3rd brother who took courting seriously, and looked down on the rake lifestyles. It would have been a nice switch-up to see the man be a virgin too, make them equals and it would make it more meaningful as the "first time" both of them have been seen as their whole, true selves. I thought they would build on the erotic journalling and they would tease each other with love letters while they were engaged, nope, no emotional connection needed apparently! 😂 Premarital sex is also fine apparently, for **Colin Bridgerton**, established as a man who cares so much about honour! It's before marriage in the book too, but it feels different, as it's after the secrets are out and amidst all the conflict, it's part of an affirmation that he loves and supports her no matter what. We didn't get that cathartic happy ever after feeling at the end, not for me anyway. It was suffering for all of Part 2 😢 A good romance does need conflict and angst, but usually like 30% building a connection, 30% actually falling in love or a honeymoon phase, 30% big conflict that threatens to ruin everything, 10% happy ending. The balance was off, character development was really inconsistent, and it just didn't work! And I'm sad about it 😭

[@rachelzimmermann8249]

Can someone please explain to me how exactly pen made that money by doing whistledown?! Like she had to pay the prints and she distributed the column, who’s paying her ?!

[@andihunter7104]

People had to pay to get Lady Whistledown. So the paperboys would collect the money, take it to the printer, and everyone would be paid. The books made a bit more sense as her father’s lawyer discovered her playfully writing Lady Whistledown, thought it was funny, and then set up the arrangement with the printers and an account for Penelope’s funds.

The show sacrificed romance and colin for female empowerment 😮‍💨

[@sara1coco]

The writing sucked but I do NOT get the Colin hate like Simon, Daphne and Anthony did worse yet Colin is the villain? The man just had insecurities he overcame and was mad for 2 weeks at best aftee another fiance lied to his face again
