Say hi to Chaotic Colin, he is just unhinged around Penelope. Once he made that choice to go all in, he's fully invested. He would never court her because he wants to marry her lol
Colin 'my wife' Bridgerton.
When I was a kid I hated my training wheels so much I pretty much just skipped right from my tricycle to a two-wheeler and would rather fall the hell off than wobble around with those trash little wheels bolted on the back. Just took a dose of over-confidence and leaned into the pedals! Colin's the same with intimacy--he can't do shallow. He was born ready to have a wifey (he just got misdirected to Marina at first.)
I appreciate that about him. No f**king around. He's figured out what he wants and he's 100% all in.
Courting is basically to get to know someone, Colin already knows Pen. She's his best friend, so the way he now wants to know her...lol....has to be marriage. And they did do stuff on that carriage.
Remember, he would not even kiss Marina…. He’s not about to do all that without the intention of marrying Pen
@@kellyvalence5323 Exactly. He already loved her as a friend, so it feels so right that he would ask her to marry him once he clocked in he desires her too.
@@kellyvalence5323He was 100% decided when she admitted she also wanted to be more than friends.
I really wish the writers had found a better way to show some of the thoughts he was having between the kiss & the carriage scene
I seriously recommend listening to the audiobook then re watching. You will get all the inner dialogue. They are pretty close to the book with season 3 with a few things switched around :)
Okay, so Colin didn’t realise he loved her just because he wasn’t interested in the brothel. He was already aware of how he felt by then and he wasn’t only offering her a good time in the carriage. He has just got on his knees and declared his love and she’d reciprocated. We know Colin wouldn’t ruin a lady. Look at marina. The moment he knows she loves him, that’s it, he knows she’s his future wife.
I feel like the conversation Colin had with his mom in episode 3 made it clear he knew he had feeling for Pen. The issue was that he was afraid to find out if it was reciprocated. That’s why violent talks about “working up the nerve to ask.”
unlike Anthony/simon/benedict we saw that Colin doesn’t have an issue with marriage when he proposed to marina. Pen is his best friend. He never would’ve touched her if he didn’t plan to marry her.
The whole point of the scene at the brothel and the one with his guys friends was that when he said sleeping around was lonely, is that he felt more in that single kiss with Pen than he did sleeping with all those other women. What she brought out of him made him sure she was the one.
Colin is very wealthy in his own right. His father and Anthony made sure he has an inheritance.
The drama is definitely whistledown. Eloise knows and Colin doesn’t. I’m sure she won’t be happy about the engagement when this big secret is between them. So Colin needs to find out and if anyone else like Cressida (because she is now bff with Eloise) learns Pens big secret it’ll be a disaster.
I thought it was made clear he knew how he felt before that too - the conversation under the weeping willow was awkward precisely because he was well aware of what he was feeling. And the conversation with his mother seemed more about him figuring out how to broach the topic with Pen, or even if she should.
Colin would never touch her like that if he didn't intend to marry her in the first place. I think when he kissed her he was already calling Penelope his wife in his head. They know each other since they were kids, they've had many conversations, many dances, now it's time to get to the next level: marriage. Polin is my favorite Bridgerton couple, both in the show and the books.
John Stirling knew already that Francesca likes peace and quiet, and knew she would be amused by not talking and repeating the scene of their first meeting.
"How long is this carriage ride?" Not long enough.
I get that Debling doesn't want to marry a woman who is in love with another man, but I can't help but feel like he hasn't thought things through. Hypothetically, if he found a woman who was completely romantically unattached to anyone, and who could find joy in being Lady Debling alone in his house while he's off on his adventures, there are absolutely no guarantees that she wouldn't have an affair, either with someone she fell in love with, or just because she's bored and lonely. He needs to find someone who would want to go with him on his adventures. Otherwise, he's just looking for a steward to look after his holdings while he's gone. I feel like Cressida would hypothetically be happy for like a year or two before she would begin to resent that she doesn't have her husband by her side. Then the nastier side of her character would come out and she might have an affair just to spite him.
The trip he is going on is extremely dangerous. So I think he’s looking because he wants an heir (but it seems like the trip is soon by his words & his rush to propose)…. So he might not have even left enough time to do that.
@@kellyvalence5323 In that case, who cares if she has an affair? He just needs to get her pregnant before he leaves, and then he can run off and possibly die and she can do what she wants while being the heir's mama.
But I've been thinking about this a lot, and I've watched season 3 part 1 several times now, and I've realized that Debling actually approached Pen BEFORE her charm lessons from Colin. And he kept approaching her, not the other way around. She didn't realize his regard, which is why she didn't get all awkward until she she decided to chase him at the same time Cressida did. I think Debling genuinely likes Pen. And when he realized the connection between Colin and Pen, he broke the courtship off, giving a practical reason, but I think the reality is that he was at least a little bit hurt by the fact that Pen clearly preferred a man that didn't even know his own heart to a man that had made his intentions fairly clear from the beginning.
It goes with the themes of the rest of the show that Debling was trying to approach a match in all practicality, as if if that would prevent him from getting hurt. But he was still hurt when he realized his practical match was in love with another man.
@@MeyaRoseGirl I agree, Deblin is attracted to Penelope, he probably didn’t even know how she looked in prior seasons. Colin just helped boost her confidence. I think Deblin is probably not being honest with himself, he has some feelings for her & it would probably grow (though he doesn’t seem to want it to). The concern about infidelity is real though. Even in the best case scenario (he gets her pregnant with a boy), if Colin is hanging around all the time once he’s gone, people would doubt the parentage.
I hope she doesn’t fall out of the carriage onto her face in part 2 like she did in the books when Colin proposed. 😂 And I hope we get angry Dom Daddy Colin from the books. And Colin wouldn’t have touched her like that had he not known he planned to marry her. He never courts her. He claims her.
In QC Lady D tell her son they’re descendant of royalty in their home country. I imagine that’s why Lord Marcus is a Lord.
He claims her. I love it.
@@trfaniel1 Book Colin gives dark fey daddy energy, and I love it.
Colin Saying This 🍒 Is Mine!!!
Colin's proposal.....I LOVE IT
Love your reactions. I will personally be mad at Shonda if I don’t see Penelope in a wedding dress.
He used the exact line in the book when he asked to marry her lol
Thank you for reacting I like that Colin proposed to Pen and not court her it shows that he is series also Lord Dibling didn’t ask for her hand immediately because they need to know each other while Colin don’t need to court her he already has feelings for her he only realized his feelings and they already know each other also what they did at the carriage he need to marry her especially now that Lord Dibling is not going to propose to her her mother will make things worse so Colin is actually helping her and since he asked her to marry him that mean he is serious and thought about this.
I've read the book. I've seen the clips/trailer for the next four episodes. It's gonna be a fun and wild ride. :) Can't wait to see your reaction!
HAHAHA same here, I’m bracing myself for another rollercoaster ride if it pans out similarly (or close) with the book 🙌🏻
More than just being from a powerful and wealthy family, Eloise is from a loving family that will always support her even if the rest of society turned on her. There was many a powerful and wealthy family that cast out a child that did not fit into their mold.
Colin knew wayyy before that he liked her it wasn't at the brothel were he realised.
Colin 100% deserves Penelope. He has a mask on this season. Its plainly obvious. He said what he said to Lord Fife because he was too scared to be honest in front of the Ton. That doesn't make him unworthy of her
Literally the Colin hate needs to stop like he made one mistake doesn't mean he can't change and grow from it😭
@@bxc.29303 what cracks me up is how EVERYBODY was hating on Pen for the past several months. How she's done all this horrible stuff as LW and doesn't deserve Colin, taking Eloise's side, etc, but as soon as these episodes dropped, everyone loved Pen again and suddenly Colin doesn't deserve her. I practically got whiplash from it all lol.
@@mamaseesa3122 RIGHT💀
He was right he didn’t court her. He just went straight to the proposal.
@@jjh2456 courting is the act of getting to know the other person. Colin knows Penelope. Penelope knows Colin. They have been friends for years. Courting is unneeded
The all is lost moment will be him finding out she’s Lady Whistledown
The carriage scene is from the books.
You can not do this to a Lady without asking for her hand. Otherwise she would be riuned.
Colin is a Gentleman and he is already in love with her, so he asked her.
In the book it's slightly different how all the "touching" began.
I hate that didn't not know she is Lady Whistledown here. In the show it will be a very bad situation when he finds out. Maybe I will watch straight episode 8, just to be sure everything is okay 🙈
I wished we would've seen more scenes between Colin and Penelope. In the book, they talked a lot about everything and they speak about her feelings or we can read their thoughts.
In the show we got nothing. The proposal seemed rather quick....
He kissed her, looked at her longingly and straight up he proposed... not really enough interaction/talks between them.
I really hope the writers know what they are doing.
The actors did a great job. Loved the carriage scene and all the scenes so far.... you can feel the spark.... just wished we had seen more of the two in general.
I’m with you, thank goodness we will be able to binge watch the 2nd half because I anticipate a lot of emotional upheaval.
they have their own house. After all she comes with a dowery, and the Bridgeton's are not poor. Some of that money is colins and perhaps Anthony gifts them a home for a wedding gift. Don't forget Anthony and Kate return in the second half. There is a trailer for the second half that some people get to see after watching the end of the episode 4. You can find it and it gives clues.
I feel like Colin mentions in the books how he fortunate his father and Anthony made sure he had his own assets. Colin has an inheritance.
In Queen Charlotte, Lady Danbury told her son to remember that they were royal in whatever African country it was that they were from, so she was already royal before marrying Lord Danbury which would mean her brother, Marcus, would also be a royal.
I like the ending of Part 1. I definitely did not see that coming.
your hair is DAZZLING, I've been trying to figure out what you've done to it all vid
There is no backstory so far on Lord Marcus Anderson his character was written just for the series. Queen Charlotte kind of gives us clue with Lady Danbury's backstory since she was from a prominent family with a marriage pact at 3yrs old. It was most likely a family title passed down.
I mean that’s how he proposed in the book and I think it was such a Colin way to ask 😂
A perfect neurodivergent couple! Well, at least now E must learn to listen and pen hit bottom and got out of her comfort zone (she has the money for it from LW papers). Pen's mother would take all he had while he was gone. He said 'battle worthy', I think
“My god dating was awkward.” Yeah to us, but think about it this way - a gentleman visits a lady during visiting hours in full view of her family. You never had to question “where is this going?” or “is he just going to hit it and quit it?” Fuckboys existed but they were judged harshly if they messed with women from good families.
Thanks for a great reaction , can't wait for the next four . Thanks again Anna I really enjoyed it ,and lots can still go wrong ,but, yes I do want Colin and Penelope together.😊❤
I'm definitely NOT ROOTING for Cressida. All she did was either bully or sabotage Penelope (unprovoked on top of that).
I don't like the trope of making excuses for the bully and again forcing the victim to be the bigger person.....thing.
And I hope Cressida doesn't end up with Lord Debling either, f***ing hate her.
Ikr
She continues to be vile in part two.
The book..... NO ONE WAS ROOTING FOR HER.
She has relentlessly bullied and affected Penelope over many many years....
Good actress.... horrid character!
So happy you're reacting to this. Lady Whistledown is going to be an issue as well as Eloise.
They're going to live at the Featherington house, because Penelope is going to have a son and be a wealthy writer while Colin becomes her 'sturdy' house husband.
I want to know if Lord Debling proposed what would Colin have done?? Kept quiet???
Marquess is an English title, Marquis is a French title.
Not to be seen with Eloise because of her disgrace last year considering with rebels and whatnot.
Yep colin already knows Pen quite well. Decades almost. The only thing left was physical attraction. And you got that there
Marquis in France and Marquess in England?
27:40 💔 you think Colin, who at his most distant still called Penelope one of his closest friends, would do something that he was raised to know would be considered "dishonoring" her and not do the right thing?? It's like... Where did that precedent come from? That Colin is worse than dirt, and an "ain't 💩 " friend. I could spout examples galore of why that doesn't make sense, but people like you don't care.
"Just offering her a good time"
I believe when he stepped into the carriage, he already knew he wanted to marry her, but wasn't sure of her feelings.
When she said she also had feelings, and wanted to be much more than friends, I think he came to the conclusion, that meant marriage.
I do not think Pen would have wanted to be his mistress, nor do I think Colin would have wanted that.
The program is nothing like the book! Well, theres a skeliton of the book.
I prefer the book rhis far. Its my favourite book of the series and additional books oublished there after.
Things have happened to friendships, what happend leading up to the proposal thats nothing like series3 thus far. Way way way to many sub stories, cgaracters added, it seems a bit crowded. Approx 40 mins on C&P out of 4 hrs. I hope the second part to the 3 series is more balanced. Having read the books over many years, the series is a bit too rushed in parts. (C&P)
Their story in the book was beautiful told. The correct pace & content.
🤞🤞🤞🤞
You do recall Eloise was exposed in Whistledown for unchaperoned meetings with a man thanks to Penelope's "help." Her reputation is sullied despite being the sister of a Viscount and sister of a duchess. Hense the edict by Cresida's father that she is no longer to be seen with Eloise.
