The new show runner changed John’s cousin Michael Stirling into Michaela… Michael is supposed to be Francesca’s second husband..

[@contra3486]

love how everyone thought benedict is gonna be the one to ask for exclusivity but he went "i just discovered I'm bi what are you talking about" edit: apparently he's pan not bi

[@debbiewoweries9912]

He's confirmed to be pan actually! But yes, i'm actually even more excited for his season now because it finally feels like they've sort of found a direction with his storyline.

[@EthanAhMu]

@@debbiewoweries9912agreed. I think it would make sense for him to end up with a man, though. They’ve built his queerness so much over the 3 seasons, than I think the main conflict in his love story will be the fact that homosexuality was incredibly taboo (and fairly illegal).

[@contra3486]

@@debbiewoweries9912 omg i didn't know but that's cool! could you please tell me where it was confirmed?

[@Freyadyyaya]

Benedict's love interest's story suits for woman more than a man though. If they're going to still follow the core story, which they've surprisingly followed for 3 seasons now, his partner is going to be a woman.

[@EthanAhMu]

@@Freyadyyaya I see your point for sure. That being said Bridgerton the TV show notoriously changes storylines from the book (some of which are successful changes, and others aren’t). It wouldn’t shock me if they decided to alter Benedict’s storyline to include his sexuality. Actually I think it could be a really good change, if they wrote it smartly. The books themselves seem to be more of an outline for the show, as opposed to a rule book.

2:09 i get you nicola wasn’t lying when she said she had perfect breasts

[@crystalpritchard5065]

I’m so happy you enjoyed this season, it’s been so divisive in the fan base. Personally this was my favourite season of Bridgerton, it was so romantic and I love that both Colin and Penelope really challenged one another and grew as individuals and together as a couple. I’m excited to see them happy in season 4 and to see what they do with Whistledown now that the ton knows it’s Penelope.

I can usually handle the anachronisms but this 20th century Americanism just took me right out of the story.

[@MSGM72]

You’re right, in the book Pen & Lady Danbery have a really close friendship & she is actually the one who gets Colin to realize that Pen could be his one❤

[@rubysmolen5155]

I love pen and Colin's relationship- they have the strongest most realistic relationship I have seen so far and I love it- they pick up when something is wrong with the other, Colin gives her space to tell when she is ready. I love that when they talk outside of the modiste he is actively listening- he asks her questions, he doesn't yell at her, he stays calm, he doesn't run away, and she genuinely answers them - it's clear it's more about his jealousy and his fear for her safety then her actually being whistledown. When he said that she entrapped him he clearly said that out of pain and anger (which he is entitled too), because she didn't entrap him- he is the one who initiated sex, both in the carriage and the mirror (checking both times before continuing) she repeatedly gives him an out and he doesn't take it because he knows deep down that she didn't do that he is just deeply hurt that she kept that a secret and he loves her and wants to marry her. If she had entrapped him she wouldn’t give him multiple outs. I love what pen says about what it’s like for women because it’s true- it was amazing watching her stand up to colin in that moment. Women are taught to shield the parts of themselves that are flawed, not perfect, not allowed to be harsh, to call out bullshit in how they are treated- to constantly be mansplained, if tough in the way men are- act the way men do at meetings- automatic bitch, man acts the same way- praised. This also can be applied to nonbinary people regardless if they present more feminine, but especially if they are someone who does present more feme because we are then confused for a woman and continue to get all the mysagonistic bullshit regardless. It's obvious how much he wants to be physically intimate with her but is holding back because he is still processing all of this new information which I love- when he opens the door and she is standing there and you see him almost go in and kiss her but he restrains himself even though he wants to because he is not ready. He deeply loves her and for him to have sex with her when they are not in a good place isn't fair to her or him- so by not having sex he is respecting both of them. The first show runner also said that Colin is supposed to be demisexual so him not wanting to have sex when they are not in a good space makes sense- he feels disconnected to her and not having sex with her because he is still processing so much new information and feels emotionally separated from her at the moment makes complete sense. He is still being protective of her, he doesn’t leave and sleep at his mother’s house he stays and supports her when she decides to out herself. It has been ingrained in him that it is a mans job to provide for and protect his wife, so when she says she can take care of herself and he says then what good am I to you, you can feel the pain, pen is independent and doesn't need him in that way, she just needs him for him and it takes some time for him to accept the role reversal. I love how the letters help him reconnect with pen because he can tell he is losing her- they also help him realize he has always known both sides of her- LW was her in the letters they were never separate people- she was always LW- and he has always known that person and has always loved that person! I loved season 3- the culmination of a 10 yr relationship and 3 yrs of unconventional courting all coming together to show a beautiful, realistic, romantic, intimate relationship come to fruition! Those 10 yrs of friendship is still a part of their romantic relationship- when friendship transitions to romantic all those yrs of friendship don't suddenly become separated from it, like it's a completely different relationship- it now being romantic- the romantic just gets added on, I know a lot of people were frustrated with there being very little intimacy, but there was a ton of intimacy- it just wasn't sexual intimacy- There was an insane amount of emotional intimacy as well as many other forms of intimacy. There was no time jump- when Colin is talking to pen about something always between us she says I know maybe that's the key and takes his hands and puts them on her stomach and he visually reacts- she is already pregnant!

[@mariazamora6824]

Luke Newton ATE the revelation scene! I would give him an Emmy nomination for those 30 seconds alone! I've honestly rewatched it so many times because you can really see his heartbreak almost more than his anger. He was teary-eyed and RIGHT when Pen nodded in confirmation that she is LW, his tears FINALLY fell! OMG! And it fits his character so well that he would be more of a crier when angry than raging (like Anthony would be). And his eyes were always glassy when speaking to Pen in anger. Ugh...Luke....the actor that you ARE!

[@dakota7314]

I actually don't think he's that great of an actor 😅 felt like many things they tried to portray with him this season fell short cause of his ability/acting.

[@juanitaguerra5864]

I love the scene where he’s asking Eloise how long she has known. His eyes are red making it look like he has been crying all night and the tears in his throat when he speaks 🤌🏻 He ate that entire scene, no notes perfect acting.

[@taminaah7188]

​@@dakota7314 I think that's because of bad editing and not focusing on him or his face in important moments. Like I hate how in ep 7 we couldn't see his point of view after LW reveal like he was a side character in his own season😂

[@silverkyre]

​@dakota7314 go back and watch again. You can practically read internal monolouge at times just by looking at his expressions. The problem is the camera just tends to not linger long enough at times. But he does so many little things it's so fascinating how much he conveys and very stubly at times too.

[@silverkyre]

No but actually I'm so mad that the way they split the season made then ineligible for the emmys. Because damn the acting was so good.

[@Disney95]

Love you for appreciating Simone Ashley's British/ Indian accent! I feel like we do not talk about how good it is!! 😍😍😍 Also love your love Anthony, he's my king as well 👑

[@Sytrylt]

Colin crying in the beginning of episode 7, made me cry. Luke Newton did very good ! It was so emotional

[@rbrainsop1]

12:38- Those actually are the traditional wedding vows. I'm not sure when they moved away from it... maybe during the more prudish Victorian era?

[@eviebennett4907]

3:57 a lot of the set pieces are in Bath, UK. I actually go to university there currently and there are a load of Bridgerton themed things that happen in the city especially in the summer!

[@HuntingViolets]

Probably a lot of Jane Austen-themed things too, what with the Bath connection.

[@eviebennett4907]

[@TheRealGoldenDuckling]

29:00 they actually are in the books It heightens their relationship more in the books, sad we didn’t get more of it this season

[@daquittaclements]

BOOK SPOILER I hear in Francesca's story, her husband dies and she falls in love with his cousin Michael and then has a baby. Not sure how they will play that out since they made Michael Michaela, because she can't get Francesca pregnant

[@rbrainsop1]

You really should give a spoiler alert for this comment. If anyone isn't familiar with the books, they may not want to know this in advance

[@HuntingViolets]

You should put SPOILER at the top of this and hit enter several times so this comment won't be visible unless you click the Read More.

[@rainbowdreams341]

SPOILER WARNING FOR ANYONE LOOKING They could just not have them have kids. When I was researching about the Bridgerton books through the author’s website, I found out in When He Was Wicked that you don’t actually find out if Micheal and Francesca had kids. It’s only revealed in an epilogue she wrote in The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, a bunch of short stories to do with the couples. Regardless, I’m sure people still want Francesca to have kids and I’d like to see it too so I think there’s two options possible that’d work best: 1. Have Francesca get pregnant before John passes and either she has the baby a bit after he dies or he dies soon after the child is born, leaving her a single mother. This could lead to Michaela coming to support her and is how Francesca begins to grow feelings over time. I haven’t read the book but I think I’ve heard she was actually pregnant before John died but had a miscarriage? So they could edit that to her not having one and actually having the baby. 2. They have John pass and the two don’t end up having kids. Francesca begins to fall for Michaela but knows she wants to have kids so it’s difficult for her to have to put that aside (kind of like how Daphne thought Simon couldn’t have kids but because she loved him was willing to be with him even if she still wanted kids desperately). I think one idea they could play with is perhaps adoption. Maybe there’s a husband and wife close by to them who passes that left behind a baby and Francesca takes the child in and raises them as her own. I think it’d be nice to see the show, show us that a child does not need to be blood related for you to care for them.

[@HuntingViolets]

@@rainbowdreams341 BOOK SPOILERS Yes, I suggested something like this too (suggested is probably not the right word, because who is listening to us?). 1. If Francesca has a baby, the baby will become earl (most titles in Scotland being heritable by women/girls if there are no male heirs). Michaela comes to support her. 2. If there is no baby, Michaela inherits the title and goes away out of guilt for wanting John's wife (as in the book) and having John's title. Comes back at some point, when Francesca is entering the marriage mart because she wants to remarry to have a baby. 2a. Eventually gives up idea of having a baby because of love of Michaela. The title would die with Michaela then. 2b. Same as 2a, but there is a distant cousin (maybe a girl) they can take in who can then be the heir. Although non-blood related, as you suggest, would be good. I'm not sure whether the title is tied to blood, though? Title dies out if so. Which is a problem if Michaela pre-deceases Francesca, Anyway, the show would be over before we get that far. :)

[@rainbowdreams341]

@@HuntingViolets BOOK SPOILERS These are all such good ideas! I remember I found out about the women being able to become earls in Scotland a few days ago, which I found so interesting. Having them take in a distant cousin is actually so good I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I tried to do some quick research about if titles can go to adopted kids and it seems definitely back then they couldn’t (seems in 2004 they changed it a bit to make it somewhat they could). Adoption also apparently wasn’t something that really properly existed back then and didn’t come to how we know it today till the 1920s. However we all know the the show doesn’t tend to be fully accurate to the regency era it’s more just a baseline, so I could see them making it so it’s possible for an adopted child to be an heir if they don’t have any other children.

[@fenniahtvxq]

Luke Newton gave a really great performance. Nicola is so good and charismatic too. I loved this season so much.

[@ShiningStar2010]

lol his confusion over Francesca is hysterical

[@taylorferrow7248]

The wedding song is Yellow by Coldplay 💛

[@WaftingCurtains]

Apparently Luke was supposed to play Colin's reaction to it with more outright anger but he went with tears instead, and I think that's absolutely the better route for his character. If it helps, John's cousin Michaela is Michael in the books, so they've decided to genderswap the character and that may change some plots later on, so that's why that moment might have seemed strange/stood out for an unknown reason at the time.

[@michaszone]

Portia and penelope working things out was so sweet best part of the season !

[@Emily-dl1sl]

The show runner has come out and said that Penelope got pregnant during their first time, so the time jump wasn’t as drastic as it seems. I kind of wish they had laid out hints of that in the show though.

[@rubysmolen5155]

They did- she was constantly putting her hand on her stomach- one of the major ones was when she put her hand on her stomach when she was leaving the modistes and ran into Colin( the whole interaction was one of my favorite scenes) she put her hand on her stomach multiple times Besides all the hand on stomach moments the scene when she is standing by the mirror before she writes all the letters the way her outfit falls made her look like she was pregnant there were probably more and they were all subtle

[@berlineczka]

@@rubysmolen5155 She does it throughout the whole show, though. Every time Pen is stressed or anxious, she touches her stomach, even in season 1. There was a lot of stress and drama this season, so she does it a lot. She also wouldn't be able to tell for most of the time shown. Considering the wedding is about three weeks after the mirror scene (they had the banns read in the church, which takes three Sundays), she would not have been able to even know her period is late before the weeding. She could have suspected that later at her sisters' ball (the timeline is fuzzy but it like likely 1-2 weeks later), but then she wouldn't have proposed annulment if she already knew she is pregnant.

[@rubysmolen5155]

@@berlineczka she could've still popped the annulment and decided to raise he baby on her own- Colin reacts when she puts his hand on her stomach in a way that says she's pregnant- his whole body goes back she could've known by then or at least suspected- penn is very smart- smarter then. I think anyone ever gives her credit for- the characters of the show or even the audience. they had to figure out they were pregnant in a different way back then- she could at least be suspicious that she is by then- she was also going over the plan with him- but I personally think they are going over both- the plan for LW and telling Colin she is pregnant( atleast suspects)

[@berlineczka]

@@rubysmolen5155 Well, they would not have been granted an annulment if she was pregnant. If she was pregnant, annulment was no longer a possibility. Also, even if, that would mean that the child would be born out of wedlock and would mean ruin for her and the child itself. Sure, she had the means to support herself due to her LW income but that would not have saved her from social ruin and the child of being excluded from the Ton.

[@rubysmolen5155]

@@berlineczka I think she was more concerned about her outing as LW affecting Colin’s family and just wanted Colin and his family being safe then her own well-being because that’s Penn- she wanted Colin to be ok and was more worried about what being associated with LW would do to him and his family because she loved him and his family so much and was putting his needs above hers because that’s what penn always does( regardless if she knew by then or not) because that’s Penn💕 my personal opinion/take💕❤️💜

[@Ashley-tw6ho]

Thanks for telling us about the talking AI. I may be 37 years old but I would love to write a fanfiction for Titanic, one where Jack survives and reunited with Rose afterwards. Seriously, if Rose had of stayed on that Boat rather than jumping off it to be with Jack, he could have either had more time to see about getting on the boat on the other side of the ship that was letting me on, or perhaps he would of found himself in the water and found the door that Rose used and didn't share or take turns with Jack. They could of saved him from the water and they could of had a wonderful like together. I mean, she had the heart of the ocean diamond in her pocket, that would of helped them have money to travel back to his home and visit any family he had there and build a little house for them to start a family. I remember crying for 3 hours after watching Titanic in the movie theater when I was 10 years old. It would be so wonderful to read a well written fanfic or play around with the characters in Titanic and try to save Jacks life. Perhaps you could make Rose and Jack lure Calls henchman away and knock I him out and steal his gun. And Rose get onto the boat and wait for Titanic to sink and see if Jack on any of the other boats or use the weapon to force those Titanic staff guys on the boat to go back and help her find Jack. I mean seriously, that ending has troubled me all this time. They could of had such a wonderful life together. They were robbed of it. So I wonder if you can change up the story's in movies entire in Talkie Ai and go on a mission to save someone like Jack Dawson from dying. That would truly be an awesome app of it let you change up the story that much. I just wanted them to be free from Cal and her mother and get married and have kids. Is that really too much to ask? Lol

Why should Eloise forgive Penelope? Colin knows Eloise loves Penelope; I guess he thinks that isn't as important. -What did Penelope say? It "turned into a real friendship over time"? Is she talking about her friendship with Eloise? Is she saying it was just a way to Colin at first?- Edit: Surprised no one stepped in to reply or correct this, but, no, Penelope was talking about her friendship with Colin.

[@XX-le1wn]

10:58 Nuh uh....F%#% this guy. Spoiler Alert. Her brother's excuse is that he was 10 years old...........No. If he was like five or six years old yeah, not at ten. Kids notice a lot of things, and they KNOW a great deal what is going on around them. For example at four years old I found out some s*** that I flat out knew right then and there what it was. At eight years old I knew that DV happens to married women. I notice and KNEW a lot of "stuff" long before I was 10. He said "You were trying to escape" (he KNEW she was trying to escape) then he said "I had no concept of what you were running from" Oh really? So he took it upon himself to stop her and turn her in, to their dad. He knew she was trying to escape and didn't even bother to ask her why? He also said something like "I knew the world was not a safe place for young ladies" So he knew the world was not a safe place for women but he did not notice that Lady Danbury (who was still a kid at the time) is being forcibly married to an old fossil, old enough to be her grandfather? And he did not notice she didn't want that? You know like that exact same scene where Cressida was being forcibly married to a man 3x her age. Did SHE look like she was having fun? Never occurred to him that was the reason she was trying to escape? He didn't have to stand up to his father, all he had to do was remain silent and let her escape. So supposedly trying to "protect" her as was his claim.........Sure 🤨 What he actually did was helping the predator trap the prey in this case in marriage. He condemned Lady Danbury to endure decades of marital 🍇starting when she was a kid, and who know what else. When she could have been freed, when she was so close to escaping. Queen Charlotte was inspired by ACTUAL EVENTS, which includes Lady Danbury being groomed at three.

[@anafromr5413]

He was still a CHILD. It doesn't matter if he was 4, 10, or 14. He is not old enough to know what's the right thing to do in this situation. Just because you think you did at that age doesn't mean that everyone else does.

[@XX-le1wn]

@@anafromr5413 Still does not change the fact that he helped the predator instead of her. Also.......14? You already lost the argument by 14 for SURE he should have known better. It was obvious to anyone 6 years old and up that she did not want to marry this man and he took it upon himself to turn her in. What do you think happened to Lady Danbury, as a kid, on her wedding night? I highly doubt there was consent and she was just a kid too.
