You guys: PLEASE watch the "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" mini-series. It's *sooooo* unspeakably great!!! And it really makes you view Charlotte's character (and her tragically beautiful relationship with the King) in an entirely new light throughout the rest of the main series. 🥹

YESSSS

I would love to see them react to derry girls! they'd definitely enjoy it

Derry girls!

@@jennb3112 I think so too but I just finished big mood and holy shit…. It’s fantastic

A man of culture

OMG 😆😅🤣

💀😏

😂😂😂

LMAO

I love the minute he took to place the tune lmao that's me watching bridgerton too

That was my inner monologue my first time watching that scene as well, though... They just very much externalized that inner monologue, I guess lmaooo

Not just regency. It’s very common for years. Lucy and Ricky slept in separate beds in the same room on TV. Sleeping together is for marital relations. In Downton, there’s a Lord/Lady bedchamber. He keeps the bed made to pretend they sleep in separate rooms. But I think that’s to cater to a modern audience. It’s also in cases that the technical Lady of the house may not be married to the Lord. Maybe it’s Mom or another female relative.

House of Cards showed the President and First Lady with two bed chambers too so historically it was set up that way even in The White House.

Yeah, it's a wealth/status thing--only POORS have to SHARE a room! In the grandest households, the lord and lady of the house would have separate suites or even entire wings of rooms for their personal use, including entertaining guests and attending to matters of business in their own rooms. (Not the bed chambers, specifically, of course, but like their own studies or less formal sitting rooms.) The actual bedroom layouts were usually designed to have connected dressing rooms so the spouses could easily go back and forth at night or in the morning without the fuss of going through a hallway in a state of undress. Or lock the connecting doors between the rooms if things are Frosty between the couple.

Look how far it goes with The Tudors and Vikings; and the movie The Duchess. They’re practically in different parts of the house. 😂

I've cut my hand mid-angry-gesture before, in that exact spot.

I thought the same and so I went and looked again, but that’s not what happened. He picked it up with his right hand (with Index finger and thumb) and then dropped it into his palm. That’s how got cut.

what was it like in the book?

@prayingbanshee Ok I didn't read the books so I'm curious what this "Colin "My Wife" Bridgerton" is all about. Does he say it a lot in the books? Or.. Where did it come from?

@@Chadulthe’s basically Penelope’s number 1 defender in the book and very much down bad for her. I think he even announced in front of the whole ton that he “worships the ground she walks on” 😭

@@hali_55 Nice! Thank you for the answer ☺️

@@Chadult To my recollection, in the book with all the epilogues, released after the core 8, the siblings comment about how (annoyingly) Colin is forever saying "my wife"-this "my wife"-that.

YES. Please please please do Outlander.

So much grape, tho

I second this. Outlander is 🤌🏻🤌🏻

no teeth clicking together

Yea. Entailments like those that dominate in Jane Austen just prioritize a man inheriting estates, and making sure they are kept together. This is how we get Mr. Collins in “Pride and Prejudice” being next in line, despite being a cousin barely known to the family. Austen’s life herself changed dramatically after her Dad died. She and older sister Cassandra were unmarried. Women didn’t get enough. In “Sense and Sensibility,” a reasonable dowry might be a few thousand pounds for 1 woman. 4 women are suddenly expected to make do with £500 a year. They can’t even keep 1 horse. Mom in that story grew up on a big estate. Poor 19 year old Elena is charged with managing them all. “Sense.” The answer should be that their 1/2 brother could at least give them a better allowance, or even let them stay on the huge Norland estate, but his wife is the issue. Her family has plenty, and she pretends it’ll bankrupt them. Land is incredibly valuable at this point. It doesn’t start changing really until the industrial revolution in about 30-40 years. Austen’s prime is within the Georgian era, (King George) from about 1795-1817. She unfortunately dies young at 41 from Addison’s disease. Industry starts changing around 1830 if I’m not mistaken. George’s brother William takes over for 7 years, then his niece, Victoria is crowned in 1837. She barely avoids a regency as they tried to manipulate when she “came of age.”

They had a window tax. You were taxed on each window. Also you were taxed for owning horses and dogs were taxed and for every male servant you had.

pretty sure they mentioned last episode that they did

I laughed at your 1st comment which I remember, and I did the same here. Good luck and best wishes for your exams.

Haven't yet!

But the charcoal thing?

They’ve started recording but they haven’t started posting it to Patreon yet

they are going to start it when s3 part 2 comes out

They're brand new to high society. Trying to fit in so they don't lose it, and think they have to follow that 'rule'

They’ve already started watching it

I think they only take recommendations from patreon... I do not think that they take recommendations from KZfaq comments, unfortunately. I absolutely LOVE that show though and I really really hope that more people here on KZfaq react to it! It's so good!

@@AnxietyRat well, hoping that maybe someone from their patreon sees this coment lol

@@AnxietyRatthey don’t really take recommendations from either of those. They use input from the recommendations section of the website to determine what populates the polls.

@@joshwilliams5860 ah, I haven't watched their channel in a good while... But I definitely remember them mentioning that they've been recommended stuff off of patreon a COUPLE of different times prior to them making their own website. I suppose they just switched to getting recommendations off of their website directly after they made it. Idk. Thanks for this correction! 😊

Gotta be fat fingers

That’s the one I’m thinking of too.

Piano means quiet. Forte means loud. A pianoforte can be played quietly AND loudly. Conversely, a harpsichord only has one volume setting.

It wasn’t super loud but there were people a few feet away from them

So, your main ocupation is hate on penelope on every Bridgerton reaction comment section?

​@@gotasintrospectivas Lmfaooo 😂😂

@@gotasintrospectivas I would say not; these are perhaps the only comment sections we have visited in common.

​@@gotasintrospectivaslmao ikr? I have seen it too. Obsessed.

It began when they were children

It is both too fast and yet also incredibly slow. Part of the issue here is that, unlike in previous seasons, the lovers actually know each other very well for years beforehand and have stayed close right through, so it feels fast even though it's actually painfully slow. The other couples went from perfect strangers to "I burn for you" and "object of all my desires in a couple of months. Polin have been unconsciously courting since before she was even out of the school room, let alone in her first season like Daphne. That's part of the rom-com. He's been hers since before he could shave. But he didn't realize that because he was thinking that love had to be sudden fireworks with a new person like Anthony, not slowly intwining vines like his parents. Once he kisses her, that's when he finally gets it that he was meant to be with her all along. That's why none of his other romantic or sexual encounters really fulfills or satisfies him. They don't feel right because he is a one woman man who already has his woman subconsciously picked out. The rest of these 3 seasons has been getting him ready for that love. So, he skips right over courting her formally and goes straight to marrying the woman. So, in a way, he was prophetic. He "would never court Penelope Featherington. Not in (their) wildest dreams..." We will soon learn that this statement is both prophetic and hilarious. Just wait until you meet Colin "my wife" Bridgerton. AKA Mr. Whistledown. I really hope they write him well going forward. Some of the changes from book to show have been problematic for him and Penelope. They really needed more episodes this season to flesh out what's going on. Also, I recommend re-watching these or one of the many compilation vids from fans. Other fans have noted that it's easier to see the progression of the love story if you consider it right from season 1 through to now.
