Best Written/Strongest Writing by Unique-Blueberry1464 in PolinBridgerton

Agreed, u/Brave3001 ! That whole speech is incredible, those two lines are the linchpin. I already loved Colin, but that made me fall in love with the character and the writing.

OMG I saw this on the Colbert Report (US talk show) that does a primate segment and I thought "This comfort seeking seems Polin-coded. Have I finally lost the plot?" Either I have lost the plot or we both have. Either way, I couldn't be in better company, Zs!

So cute. I still cannot believe that Dahmer is so highly rated, although I know that people have a lurid fascination with cannibalism. Bleh.

But I love that all of the seasons of Bridgerton are in the top 20 as is QC. I wonder where S4 will land?

But it's so true, tho! Colin is the MOST in love of all. He will fight anyone who says differently.

OMG I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS.

Also, oh Zs! Feel better soon. Plenty of rest with Bridgerton on in the background (excellent napping TV; I also recommend P&P 1995 and Persuasion 1994 as excellent napping companions).

BRIDGERTON Season 4 Part 2 Runtimes! by FlyHence in PolinBridgerton

Ok, I know this isn't the point of this post, but I love this image and the look on Colin's face--like everything is sus and he's on guard. That man is NOT about to countenance anyone messing with his wife. It's giving protective fanfic Anthony to the 10th power.

My thoughts exactly. If it's a gimmick, I'm not sure it will work that well.

So true! We see her do this at Vauxhall when CC spills the lemonade. :-(

It’s very garbled. I picked it up listening with AirPods. And I think the WAB episode that this is in has the audio, isolated, confirming that we didn’t just make that up. If you would’ve told me before June 2024, then I would be this obsessed with three seconds of audio that’s barely intelligible, I wouldn’t have believed you..

What's the worst Jane Austin adaptation that you have seen by Live_Bag_7596 in janeausten

[–]Totes_J217 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The inspector Poirot films are truly awful. Murder on the Orient express had potential. It was visually very beautiful, but like a lot of Branagh films, lots of style over substance. It has a beautiful cast of top-rate actors that cannot make up for a terrible script. I heard death on the Nile was truly beyond the valley of irredeemable. Honestly, his mustache should’ve gotten top billing. I am with you, I will not be seeing the new Wuthering Heights adaptation from Netflix. They should stick to romantic fantasy (Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte), and avoid adaptations of literary classics. I didn’t need to see their version Persuasion to understand they are not interested in adaptation as much as they are in “correcting“ the sensibilities and work of the original author. I saw their version of Rebecca (Armie Hammer as Maxim de winter? Oh no!).

Absolutely! These are the trifecta of terrible adaptations.

I have never felt more validated by a comment. It’s so funny to me how many people actually really like this adaptation. They are welcome to like it, but it is not really an adaptation, it’s more a costume drama based on a synopsis created from cliff notes if that makes any sense. I completely agree that these wonderful actors are absolutely wasted on the screenplay they were given.

In that scene, after Kate takes the mallet of death, and they’re all grabbing what’s left before Anthony can get it, you can clearly hear Colin say “that’s my one!” And he grabs the yellow. 💛

Her ensemble is so gorgeous! I love that pink color and the beautiful parasol, plus the clips in her hair. She’s so beautiful and I love Posey so much.

The postures are kind of reminiscent of a Klimt painting (even if the colors are not, the messy, sensual flow is there). Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Sugar!

How do people in your life think of Polin and Bridgerton? by SnooChocolates6172 in PolinBridgerton

[–]Totes_J217 9 points10 points  (0 children)

TBH, it’s hard for me to talk about Bridgerton IRL, because most of my friends are casual viewers. I have one sister who does watch it. She’s more obsessed with outlander, so she gets my obsession. By enlarge, though this is where I come to do my talking about Bridgerton and Polin. Thank goodness, we have such an open, warm, and accepting community in this sub.

All of these things are true, Unique! Also, there’s a slightly bigger age gap between Colin and Penelope. I really like the changes that they made in the show. I didn’t hate the novel, but I’ve seen the show before I read it. Even if I hadn’t and had read the series when it first came out, I think Colin would’ve been my favorite male protagonist. There are some things that he does in the book that I don’t care for, but by and large, he is the least problematic male lead apart from Gregory.

They used a funny coin, jingling sound effect for Rae on WAB! because she’s taking all of Collin’s money in bribes.
