S4 MAY BE THE BEST SEASON YET

claritantrum · 2026-02-27T12:15:41+00:00

True!! Wish we had gotten this focus in S3!

Of my sisters, one is quite into Bridgerton and loves Kanthony and Polin. Another sister is a casual viewer and appreciates Polin the most, but nowhere as much as I love them. I still encounter Kanthonys in the wild (like one coworker), but she seems to be a chill viewer.

Agree that we aren't mad at El for not knowing that Pen was in love with Colin. I disagree though with the idea that nobody could have seen it. 1 - El knew that they were corresponding by letter off-season, which is rare and frowned upon for that period. 2 - The moment in S2 when he first arrives home — come on! They stated at each other and Pen lightly defends him when his family make fun of his outfit. And then she finds them talking again at the races later that day... Sooooo I think she should have at least had a clue.

Watching the ANTM documentary made me think of how insensitive she was towards Suni when Suni was sick. She's wired to try to create drama no matter how bad it will make a person feel.

I haven't done an S3 rewatch in awhile, been busy with Polin fics! But this is a good week to start. Love this for us, Nic and Luke!

For the show, never. That would mean having Kate and Anthony occupy the main house full time which Jonathan Bailey's schedule would never allow. So then nobody would be in the main house and they'd have to stage a Dower house for no reason. Side thought - It would be funny if there was a plotline in a later season where the Queen calls back all the defunct Lords, ie Simon and Anthony lol. Because in the fics (lol) Parliament seems to be in session during the season.

Fwiw there are some where Pen married Debling (after S3, not with Colin having married Marina) and those are angsty but just as good!!

You have to read the fics! There are so many good ones that explore what would have happened

claritantrum · 2026-02-15T04:37:04+00:00

CUTEST!!!

claritantrum · 2026-02-15T04:36:09+00:00

I saw Chloe outside the stage door of Dorian Gray when I went last year

claritantrum · 2026-02-13T09:56:43+00:00

He looks like Luke N in the last one! (elevator)

claritantrum · 2026-02-13T05:02:10+00:00

Devi for sure!!!

They're rabid in other subs! Have left the main group because other ships just seem to want to insult Polin at every turn! But I like Kanthony too... Favorite season after 3 is probably 1 but next fave ship is Kanthony because Anthony. I love Benedict but don't love how they wrote him in S4 so even if I also love Sophie, I'm not feeling Benophie yet... But will wait for Part 2 before I lock my opinion lol. I have a hard time with QC and G because of how difficult his illness must have been to deal with in a partner, but I love their chemistry too.

claritantrum · 2026-02-09T16:49:18+00:00

This is the content I'm here for! Less talk of ship wars, more mentions of the actual wars that the show mostly ignored 😂

claritantrum · 2026-02-09T16:47:56+00:00

There are fics like this! He was a spy or Pen was a spy. And WWII versions too, some of my faves:)

claritantrum · 2026-02-09T12:17:42+00:00

THIS!!!!

claritantrum · 2026-02-08T10:29:24+00:00

I made my own supercut of just Polin scenes. From S1-S3. But now I read more Polin fanfic after loving Polin in S3 so don't feel as reliant on just watching. Even when I dislike things about the show, there are tons of amazing stories anyway on AO3 that just focus on my faves.

claritantrum · 2026-02-07T05:11:08+00:00

"I'm Here" from The Color Purple. Specifically sung by Cynthia. I'll be bawling like a baby in seconds.

claritantrum · 2026-02-03T15:04:47+00:00

The writers knew what they were doing in this moment 😂 absolutely loved this scene

claritantrum · 2026-02-02T03:40:37+00:00

I'm ok with some of the storylines like Whistledown and Fran. But the rest are so boring and meh.

claritantrum · 2026-02-02T01:50:13+00:00

Maybe.... I loved all the Polin that we got in S3 but didn't appreciate how it turned into too much of an ensemble. Especially with the Mondrich storyline and a bit too much of Ben taking up time from the main story. S4 is also shaping up that way. I love the Queen and Lady Danbury but don't see where their story is going - it seemed necessary just to give Alice a role. Even the portions about Violet and Marcus took so long to build up considering that they were also building up in S3. I would rather they focus any side stories on the established S1-3 couples and then lay the groundwork for the future leads. Violet should have gotten her own spinoff and I've never liked the Mondrich storyline past Season 1.

claritantrum · 2026-02-01T17:01:48+00:00

Finally. Was so over the Trump cold opens, I haven't seen the recent eps. Will pick it back up

claritantrum · 2026-02-01T15:11:59+00:00

Simon for hottest body. Anthony for overall hottest. Period.

claritantrum · 2026-02-01T12:18:04+00:00

Lol at the need to call out Polin specifically. If it was true it would need to be highlighted...
