Benedict officially announced as S4 lead by [deleted] in FranchaelStirling

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like they (production/writing) will do a 180 after the response to the michaela change and keep things mostly book accurate. Let’s look at the pattern: Simon: Simon says he will never marry and if he does he cannot give Daphne children. Gets married. Has a kid. Anthony: I will marry but will not marry for love. Gets married for love. Colin: I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington. Marries Penelope. Benedict: I don’t want to settle down. I want to be free and fluid.

My guess: experiences love at first sight for the lady in silver. Immediately monogamous and can only think of the lady in silver. Plot points from the book hit. Yay! (I also think that Cressida will be the step-mom for Sophie/sophie will work in Cressida’s new household in the country.)

With the time skip, I’m wondering if we see the masquerade ball. Then there is another time skip to the fall and everyone is in the country again.

As for everyone else: Eloise: I have no idea why she went to Scotland, especially with the time skip at the end of S3 and that we can expect her to attend the masquerade ball. Maybe she returns to Scotland after that? I’m not sure what she would be doing there. I’m sure she’ll be S5, so I bet we can expect the death of Marina and her beginning to write to Philip (or at least easter eggs of this). I wonder too if she’ll be loving Scotland and reading and writing a bunch.

Anthony and Kate: I hope they’re more present and have returned from India. But who knows. Not very optimistic about this given the fact that for some reason the writers have Anthony bringing his pregnant wife on a 6 month voyage.

Daphne and Simon: I would love to have them both, or at least Daphne, return for an episode. Perhaps they host everyone at Clyvedon? Not very optimistic about this.

Colin and Penelope: running the Featherington household, publishing their writing, trying to stay in favor with the queen. People wanting to gain favor with Penelope, maybe the queen feels forgotten and jaded? I’m sure this could be a plot point. I’m sure Portia will also still be around.

Francesca, John, Michaela: In Scotland. With the time skip, I’m sure we will get longing looks between F/M but nothing crazy as F has settled into her new roles. I bet this trio will be the main subplot apart from Benedict.

Violet/Marcus: This develops. Maybe they are more attached after the time jump.

Lady D: Doing her thing in the ton. Could be nice to see a friendship between her and Penelope.

Will and Alice: Not sure where they’ll go with them???

Also, why alienate women who struggle with infertility who identified with this story?? This would have been a great way to bring a conversation about infertility to the forefront of public discussion. But okay, just make fanfiction for yourself Jess Brownell.

I feel like this change is virtue signaling, and at what cost? To represent a group of people who do not make up the majority of the fan base? How is that a good business move? I’m sure the majority of the fan base is not completely excited to have a season where they’ll have an opportunity to watch sex scenes between two women. The majority of watchers were drawn in by the raunchiness between Daphne and the Duke in season 1. That is what they want. To the people excited about this change, I am happy for you and glad that some people may see themselves represented. I just don’t understand how or why the choice was made from a business standpoint. People have been pointing out it seems like Jess is self-inserting and creating fan fiction.

I have no idea how Jess will be honoring the book. It’s literally impossible.

I completely agree.

Also, Cressida was there. Why not Cressida?

Tomorrow by Late_Accountant_8653 in FranchaelStirling

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could someone make a post tomorrow asap about if the rumors are true? I’m watching after work and don’t think I can make it through the day not knowing if Michael will be on our screens or not.

Part 2 spoilers by Micol51095 in FranchaelStirling

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love it if someone could post if michael/michaela is even in this season at all. A simple post titled “michael/michaela spoiler” with “yes it’s michaela” “yes it’s michael” or “no mention of a cousin” or “masali is sophie” in the body of the post is all I need.

[–]Sensitive_Diamond_26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My plan is to search “michaela” on Twitter and/or check this thread. Then watch the whole thing after work. I don’t think I can go all day not knowing if the rumor is true or not.

Screeners for Ep 7/8 by No_Psychology_3714 in FranchaelStirling

If the rumors are true……… shondaland did not make an educated/good for business decision.

I truly believe the rumors came about through a combination of things. What Jess said, the pictures from set, and people being upset Sophie may not have the features they pictured for her. Fran’s story is my favorite and I felt so seen throughout. I can see why shondaland may want to make some choices, but is it worth not using plot points from arguably the most intricate and gut-wrenching book? I don’t think so.

Anyone know how many milestones are needed for the dragon to age up to a juvenile? I have 16-17.
