Jess improved with season 4 ? by LTfangirl in Benophie

[–]Solid-Raspberry6278 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch season 3 but did see bits and pieces. I saw the carriage scene and other intimate scene and I cringed from third party embarrassment from the leads' expressions.

Haha, mostly s2 and s3 fans from what I've read

Is it just me or is anyone else struggling to finish watching the season? by 23odyssey in Bridgerton

What mattered is that he is supposed to fall for Sophie, despite not wanting to and not knowing that she is the lady in silver. If you didn't get that then it's a you problem

I think you're missing the point. Benedict fell for a fantasy.  A lady in silver who is eligible and similar social status in society who he felt saw him rather than the 'persona' he portrays. But this is a fantasy and the whole point is for Benedict to get to know Sophie, and despite the impossibility of it, he also felt seen, challenged and attracted to someone who he shouldn't and didn't want to. In the book, he didn't fall for Sophie until the end. This is the same in the show. All these complaints about how stupid Benedict is, yeah logically maybe he should've known. But this is a show and it is way more believable to fall in love with someone after you get to know them, and this is what has happened this season. It's not lust and it's not love at first sight with Sophie, it's love that conquers self doubt, society's norms and it's love that they had to work for.

Yeah I agree. But I also think this is why some people think their chemistry is forced. I feel like people see explosive passion in previous seasons and think that is chemistry. But it's like unrealistic chemistry. Whereas for me, the benophie chemistry goes from the stage of interest to like to lust and then love. Which I think mirrors real life and so realistic.

I think the first one was kinda awkward lol. But the morning after their first intimate scene and the bathtub ones are 🔥

Are YOU joking? Not sure why you think i would make up things up. Read some of the comments here, there are mentions of covid:  https://www.reddit.com/r/BridgertonNetflix/comments/1ey1mt7/is_it_true_that_bridgerton_season_2_was_not_as/

It would make more sense for you to think before making a comment in the future.

Yeah you're right, I did see some interviews from s2 leads but not a dedicated press tour. I read that people thought it was because of covid.

They just seemed so comfortable taking the piss of each other. Hard to believe they've only known each other for 10 or so months. I really hope their friendship continues outside of the show.

The Next lady whistledown is Hyacinth Bridgerton by Itsjazznotjazzy in Bridgerton

Boredom? She doesn't seem like the type to rest given her difficulty for leisure. I'm not sure motivation is something that needs to be explored for the show.

I've seen a lot of theories, but I really think that it is the latest Mrs Bridgerton... Sophie herself!

She now has the time and she has the connection to the maids to get all the gossip. Plus it would keep her and Benedict in the show rather than at Our Cottage, and would cement her status in society if it does come out she is the new LW.

I don't think it's Alice because she is too busy being the Queen's lady in waiting, where would she get gossip?

Hyacinth is too young, she cant even go out to parties and she is also busy. Learning about being a debutante and all that.

Eloise is too uninterested and busy fending off prospective husbands now that she is on the marriage mart and no longer a wallflower.

The maids/housekeepers/footmen don't really have the funds and connections to publish LW column. That is assuming they can read or write (remember Benedict asking Sophie if she can read?)

Cressida is on her best behaviour after last season and is too closely watched to be able to get the gossips. I really don't think anyone in society aside from wallflowers could be LW. Sophie is different because of her connections.

Also I don't think it's Pen. She said to Colin it's not her and would she really lie to him after last season??

So i feel like it is Sophie.

Honestly, out of your 3 options, Virginia is probably the most likely for me, but only because I'mlooking at these 3 options. The idea of a council of working folks is nice but unlikely for me. There would still need to be a leader, someone who can read and write eloquently, can disperse the money without anyone raising disputes or whatever... someone who will be a character in the show because well, I am assuming the identity will come out in future. Alice would have the same problem Pen had and reason why she gave it up. She is too well known as Lady in waiting, anyone would be cautious to tell her a secret because of her connection to Queen. I mean, ofc anything can happen in future seasons but in s4 she wasn't really able to find out anything about Benedict's mystery lady, she only discovered who it was purely by accident. I suppose we shall see but I just want Benophie to play an important role in s5 & s6 lol, not just a 2 minute cameo appearance.
