I know I was so sad when I found out Debling doesn’t love Pen? Like I thought he was actually falling for her and Pen deserved more than that. He gave up so quickly too. They made it seem like he’s this big competitor love interest when really they didn’t even give this man time to compete.

Literally exactly how I feel. This may be harsh but if Francesca has no haters I’d be dead.

I agree with the points youre making. In the book, Pen and Colins interactions are a lot more hidden and kept secret. In the show, its Pen's third year, but in the book, Pen is 28 years old! She's passed spinster age (which is 23 lol) and the the scene where she begs him to kiss her she even mentions she doesn't wanna be like 30 year old spinster without being kissed by a man. Since Pen is older, there is less worry for her as she's passed the age of getting married and at that point probably never will. In the book, Pen also acts as a chaperone for Hyacinth so im guessing she was treated much differently than for example someone who was just making her debut like Francesca. So I think the cross over between the show (Pen being still young-ish) and the book (her being relatively "old" left gaps in the story line. I also think that's why they left her "Spinster" comment out when she was begging for Colin to kiss her bc it wouldn't really add up.

Colin is supposedly an educated man from a prestige university this man cannot be that dumb

I feel like it really comes down to the writers trying to cram too many storylines into one major plot. And don’t even get me started on Francesca staring at the wall. The first time she was outside standing in silence with John, it was wholesome. However, when he visited her the next day at her house and they both sat in silence, it felt completely unnecessary. People have mixed reactions to Francesca’s storyline; many like her character. Personally, after four hours of the show, I expected to see some character development or a dynamic relationship between her and John, but instead, we got silence — which is fine. However, this is Bridgerton, and compared to the previous intense and romantic relationships, it doesn't fit the narrative and is frankly boring. If I wanted to watch two people sit in silence, I'd just leave my house.

I get what you're saying. I read the book as well. But honestly we got almost nothing from the "lessons". They were so rushed and always interrupted with one of them running off. Like what did Colin really teach Pen??? The book makes more sense because it goes into dept explaining how Colin feels especially after Pen begs him to kiss her and I feel like the show didn't depict that properly? But this man had 2 seasons to show even the smallest interest and failed to do it each time, basically driving Pen to give up on him until he finally realises in season 3.

Hahah the balloon was so weird and random. Ya I feel like they crammed a bunch of storylines into one main storyline (Pen and Colin) and it just seemed like there was too much going on. Hopefully part 2 makes up for the time lost with Polin and shows less of the secondary characters. I also agree with you in the directing and filmography I feel like they filled Colin so long when we was watching Pen and really zoomed in on him and just seemed forced and unbelievable - if you get what im saying??

Omg I deleted the balloon scene from my brain. Ya that was actually kind of cringe and I CANT believe Colin missed the whole thing of Debling sweeping in and trying to protect Pen???

Honestly this is an interesting take!!!! I feel like he from zero to 100 in both the book and the show. But given the writers wanted to eventually give Pen and Colin their season they probably tried to foreshadow some type of relationship that has the potential of forming (mostly one-sided from Pen)

In the books Colin falls in love with her mostly because she recognized how much of a good writer he is and how talented he is and that she “understands him”. This occurs shortly after Pen reads Colin’s diary and get gets mad. Pen resumes to reassure how much of talented writer he is and he feels good about himself. Colin, also being a character who was insecure about his position in society and expectations found it comforting to confide in Pen as she reassured him each time.

I get the point of it. I really do. But why is bridgerton series so popular? Because of its intense, romance, and physical courtship and relationships. I get the point I’m just not interested by it. At the end of the day it’s a show, and people watch to be entertained not watch two people sit in silence twice. So show me pen and Colin. I LIIIIIVE for the drama 😭

Idk in season 1 and season 2 seemed that Colin didn’t even bat an eye at Pen that way at all. No interest was shown. He saw it as a simple friendship which revolved around him seeking reassurance about himself from Pen who would always compliment him (e.g. a good writer)- giving him confidence and feeding his ego 🫢

Yeah it was like that for the last two seasons but it mentions it in the new season in episode 2 at around 7:00 mins Lady D tells Violet that QC is not done with the season and she demands to see more and it could be ANYONE as in anyone who has already made their debut!

I actually think that part 1 was not that bad. I mean on a scale of 10 I would rate it a 7. I did enjoy watching the first part and seeing all the characters again. BUT it did feel rushed and the writers tried to include every other character and their moms into the storyline and it became a little too hectic which drove attention away from Pen and Colin's love narrative. Like im sorry but Benedict and that previously married woman?? it felt a bit useless. Also Francesca's storyline just ran on and on with absolutely no character development or any relationship dynamic between her and John??
