    I know Lady Featherington is not a good person but I understand her motives. Her first husband gambled away everything and left her penniless. The cousin wanted to cheat everyone and then leave the girls behind. He would have left Lady Featherington more than likely in the states. She did what she did to protect her daughters and I am not really mad at her.

      @@jLachelle3 okay so first of all , No, I will not be upset with my sister for something like this specially when I'm bluntly told by the person who I'm going to marry that he won't fall for me and I agree to it and then make a drama about how he wouldn't look at me like he looks at my sister, if I choose something I'm responsible for it and no one else be it good or bad, in this case if my sister did as much for me as Kate did for Edwina, she became everything for EEdwina, her mentor, her sister, her mother, her father everything and in doing so she forgot to live for herself, she didn't even marry because of Edwina cause the family needed her and she sacrificed her own happiness for them at every point, so No I would never be upset with my sister if she's like Kate and even if she's not like Kate and just a bi*ch I'd still did the same cause no matter what she's my sister.
      Also they didn't have an affair in my opinion cause first of all there wasn't any physical affair and sexondlybthere wasn't even an emotional affair cause that would be if both parties agreed to it with mutual consent, like did you get her see them trying to sneak around so that they could talk or spend time or anything of that sort? Yes they had feeling and it wasn't in their control but their actions were a and they made sure to not to anything that would be inappropriate, neither emotionally nor physically. But again it's my opinion and you can have yours, I'm too Calculative about what can be and what cannot be considered an affair and ass long as they tried their best to keep away from each other and not even talk with each other I'm good. Also I don't like Edwina cause she's the type of person who can't take responsibility of their own actions and like to blame other people and act like victims. She wasn't a victim cause she didn't love Anthony, she loved his title and she was blind to not see what Kate did for her, she was ready to live her life in pain and suffering just so Edwina can have the life she deserves and that means a lot for me.

    A reminder that Eloise was about to be outed as Whistledown by the queen. Wallflower Penelope coming clean and announcing she was the author would have been met with scorn and disbelief and might not have been enough to save Eloise. She did enough for her friend to remove the queen's suspicions while (selfishly) saving herself. There are lots of scandal sheets so Penelope is not really being vindictive, she's doing exactly what they do in the others. The difference, as stated in season one, is she doesn't drop hints, she calls people out by name.

    • @efvanyberg
      @efvanyberg 28 днів тому +8

      Eloise is not grasping her situation when she is tells Pen she's afraid the queen thinks she's Whistledown. The fact that Eloise was visiting a young man *unchaperoned* and that she was *seen* was a much bigger issue for her than the queen suspecting her of being a gossip writer. It wouldn't have helped Eloise if Pen had come out as Whistledown because Eloise would have been ruined when talk of her visiting the print shop and Theo had begun. Not only had she been ruined but it would have tainted her unmarried sisters too. The Whistledown accusation was the least of Eloise's issues, really.

      Eloise was about to be outed if she didn't make a deal to use Whistledown for the Queen's benefit. But Penelope *is* Whistledown, is the one who was baiting the Queen, and is the one who should either take the deal or the punishment for being Whistledown. If Penelope doesn't try to convince anyone she's Whistledown (and I can think of several methods of doing this so surely creative Penelope can), she can't really claim as fact that no one would believe her.

    You all forget that Kate was impacted and traumatized by losing her father as well. Just like Violet, Lady Mary wasn’t able to support her so Kate grew up early as well. She and Anthony are so similar. She clung to duty and focused on her sister “to earn “ her place. Wish y’all would have addressed the talk Kate had with her mom. It doesn’t excuse her betrayal but I feel like you all gave Anthony passes you didn’t extend to Kate.

    You were adamant that Kate was trying to steal Anthony from her sister but she rejected him when she had the chance. If she was trying to steal him why would she not have accepted? Would have been interesting to see your reaction to Kate talking to mother - since she reiterates how important she thinks love is to marriage.

    I also still maintain that while ultimately I do understand how Eloise feels betrayed by Penelope. Penelope did it to protect her from an even bigger scandal that would’ve ruined Eloise ‘s entire family and not just Eloise . I guess the issue or problem with Penelope is that she’s too loyal to both Colin and Eloise but also to the Bridgertons in general. So much so that she’s willing to expose her own family and by proxy herself to an even bigger scandal if it means that the Bridgertons including Eloise and Colin are protected. Even though I do think both Eloise and Colin take Penelope for granted in their respective relationships with her .

    I agree with Syntell. The stakes for Eloise were not nearly as high as they were for Theo and even Pen. The Bridgerton/s are a wealthy titled family. They will recover from minor gossip. Eloise does not have to marry. She will never be cast to the streets - forced to get a job. Money doesn't solve all problems, but, it sure helps.

    With Pen's family going broke, I can understand why she'd want to keep being LW. She also gets her confidence from it. Unlike Eloise she has to marry and she needs money. Eloise is so judgmental, privileged and sheltered. I remember when she went through her maid's personal stuff suspecting her of being LW, the maid laughed at her. I don't even think she has ever really asked Pen how she was doing, while Pen listens to everyone. It's only now that she actually heard her, she was so busy talking that she didn't know her own friend.

      I don't think it really matters. I had no idea how the storyline would go when I started the season either and I still didn't make Kate to be a full on villain after twenty seconds and making things up just to demonize her. They didn't give her an ounce of compassion all season, and that has nothing to do with knowing the full picture. Even in this reaction, you can clearly see the bias : they cut the entire happy ending, the conversation with her mom telling her she deserves love...

They may not have the same kind of experience, so for them, they may have needed the entire story and to see Kate take accountability and come into her full growth before being able to empathize.

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to give you a little correction here. Colin did not apologize to Will for being wrong about him. He apologized for having to talk to him like that before but that it was *the only way he could sell it to Featherington* whom he had suspicions of and had had investigated. Colin was playing his own game, and I hate to see him not get credit for that.

    I really appreciated your Season 2 reactions to Bridgerton!
    I think a lot of the book readers forget that for those of us who haven't read the books, the only way we know who the "couple of the season" are, is if it gets spoiled for us by the inconsiderate comments of others, or by seeing spoilers in other media.
    Just like you, I had no idea in the middle of the season whether Anthony was going to marry Kate or Edwina.
    I shipped him with both of them and would have been happy either way. 🤷
    Yes, it's clear he doesn't love Edwina and it's also clear he does love Kate.
    But Anthony and Kate are so VERY similar and sometimes that can lead to problems in relationships and be difficult to navigate (because sometimes the qualities we don't like about ourselves, bother us even more in others).
    Whereas, Edwina is quite different in personality to Anthony. So I could've easily seen a future where that ended up being a really great match for them both.
    I love the amount of chemistry Kate and Anthony have, but chemistry often fluctuates over time. In the end, friendship is the most important aspect of marriage. (Coming up on 20 years with my spouse this August, and still absolutely tremendously in love, so I speak from experience).
    Honestly, for me, the moment I stopped being sour about how Edwina was treated this season was the moment Queen Charlotte said "Have I told you about my nephew, the Prince?" Because I could 💯 envision Edwina with the Prince and they'd be super adorable I'm quite sure! 😂☺️
    And yeah, maybe I didn't agree with all of your opinions either, but what I disagreed with much more was the sheer amount of disrespect you folks received in your own comments section, oof. 😭😔🥺
    I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of that. People need to find better, less rude ways to voice their differing opinions.
    Especially when defending FICTIONAL characters and disregarding the feelings of REAL reactors.
    Your job isn't easy and you do it really well. You provide us with entertaining content and you give us an awesome outlet for our interests, a place to come and share, and feel safe in doing so.
    The least we should be doing in return is making it a safe place for you as well.
    I always try to read over my comments a few times before posting them, just to think about how I would feel being on the receiving end of them. I just wish more people took the time to do that.
    Hugs and love and Blessings to you both on your journey! 💕🙏💕
    See you in Season 3! (When I finish watching it) 🥰❤️😍

    Penelope is showing traits of her mother. U see it more clearly this season than season one. I agree with her trifling and I have not been happy with her when I found out she was Whistledown. I knew she would turn on her friend eventually to help her or not.

    • @kiana960
      @kiana960 28 днів тому +3

      I do agree that both Portia and Penelope are similar except with some key differences. Penelope will and do anything and everything to make sure that the Bridgertons especially Colin and Eloise are protected. Even if it means throwing herself and her family under the bus. Portia is the kinda the exact opposite of that. Portia’s main goal and focus is make sure that her daughters and herself are well taken care, and are protected. Like Portia has stated before. She’s a mother . She’s also very clever and cunning like her mother too. To me it’s not a black or white issue. Because Portia and her daughters are women and men . They are constantly under the thumb of males in general. I do appreciate the fact that Portia is like f that . And proceeds to take matters into her own hands and look out for not only herself but her daughters too and make sure that they’re good as well. Because no one else will. Which I highly respect that. That’s another trait that Penelope has in common with her mother Portia also. Except Penelope actually believes in love.

    OK, here is my unpopular opinion. I'm Team Pen. I even appreciate Portia. Women doing what the have to do to survive. Theo got one thing right Eloise does not recognize nor appreciate the priviledge that comes with being a Bridgerton. In a way Pen has been telling her who she is. Eloise never heard her.
    As to Mary, f they had spent more time building the Kate backstory, Mary could have become more important to advancing the story
    Lastly, the stake for Theo were way higher that for Eloise. The monied/titled Brigertons will always recover. People like Theo and even the Featheringtons don't have the same protections.

  • @HuntingViolets
    @HuntingViolets 28 днів тому +1

    @sSyntell, I'm not going to say Theo losing his job isn't the biggest deal or he couldn't die if he winds up on the streets unable to find another, but a lot of people in the comments seem to overestimate the queen's power and I wonder whether you are doing that also (not clear).
    1.The monarch does not have the power to just execute people. No one is getting executed in this situation, including Theo and Lady Whistledown or people mistaken for Lady Whistledown.
    2. As Queen Consort, Charlotte was never a ruling queen (unlike Elizabeth I and Victoria, whom you met in _Doctor Who)._ This is part of why she spends time with these balls and matchmaking schemes.
    3. Since the King is incapacitated, the one in the role of the monarch is neither George nor Charlotte but their oldest son (the future King George IV) who rules as Prince Regent. This is why it's called the Regency era. We see the queen convince him to approve his brothers' marriages in _Queen Charlotte,_ as she cannot do this herself.
    Sure, the queen could hire someone to kill people who angered her, just as any rich person could, but that is not what I've seen of her character on either of the shows (her jokey threats about having someone beheaded have not helped with the misconception). The sovereign is immune from prosecution, but I am not sure when that was put into effect; however, Charlotte is not and never was the sovereign. And the sovereign did not have the right to have people executed at this time.

    • @CarysLibri
      @CarysLibri 24 дні тому

      Actually, I think in real life this Queen was acting as a ruling queen in some ways and had an opposing court with her eldest son, nicknamed Prinny. This is why this period is called the Regency, b/c the Prince Regent IV is in power while King George III was dealing with his mental illness.

    I have been noting in the last few comment sections that I wish you would discuss the parallels between Lady Mary and her husband with Eloise and Theo. Maybe on the livestream?
    I think it's very important that Mary is around, but I wish they had allowed her to talk more before the end. Maybe a conversation with Violet? With Eloise? The parallels left lying on the floor to give the Featheringtons more screen time.
    I said last comments section all the things Penelope could have done instead of throwing Eloise under the carriage wheels (and had about five hundred comments arguing with Pen stans, so I've said what I said; see previous).
    It's hilarious to me that Mikel-Claire picked Violet as her favorite character but thinks her name is Abigail. Abigail?

    Hey Guys, I will duplicate this comment on your Q & A post. Please do your homework on knowing the characters name or have a cheat sheet. Lady Bridgerton is Violet. Also briefly see Season 1 again. There are numerous reasons to place Pen in the trifling and evil category. Please remember Marina/Miss Thompson/Lady Crane storyline. Backstabber Pen went out of her way to hurt her "friendly" cousin as well as BF Eloise. UNFORGIVABLE!!! I wished you gave Kate a break for filling in the parental & breadwinner role that her sleeping "stepmother" the widow Mary left for Kate to clean up. She partially apologized to Anthony in the art gallery scene.

    Pen is not vindictive. Eloise would have been ruined if it had come out that she was seeing Theo. And since the footman had seen her, that was going to come out. It would have had repercussions for the entire family (in particular the unmarried sisters) and sent Eloise to isolation, had Pen not explained away unchaperoned visits with politics. The fact that Eloise is having a breakdown over being suspected of being Whistledown is leading the 21st century audience astray, and shows that Eloise can't grasp the severity of the situation.

    • @kiana960
      @kiana960 28 днів тому

      True. I think that has something to do with how privileged Eloise is. Because she’s never had to want for anything. Never has faced the threat of being poor or having her house taken away from her . I think that’s why she’s having a hard time understanding Penelope. I would also like to point out that. Love or hate the Featheringtons particularly Portia and/or Penelope. But those women are hustlers/business women and most of all survivors

    I do love this finale. Overall I really like season 2. The acting is fantastic and I love Anthony’s backstory helping understand him and I love the chemistry between him and Kate, but I admit the edwina triangle I really don’t like and wish it wasn’t framed as that and I loathe him proposing to edwina and it made it hard for me to cheer on the true endgame couple. As for Penelope and Eloise, I think they are both right and I get why they act how they do. It’s true that if society discovered eloise was spending time with a lower class boy alone, she’d be ruined beyond repair. Penelope writing she was there about politics was a way of saving her rep and getting the queen off her back. But eloise has every right to feel betrayed by her friend. I’d be devastated too. And Penelope should’ve told her the secret. That being said, I don’t think Penelope should’ve revealed her identity to the queen and ruined herself when she didn’t need to. As for Colin, he has all those chivalrous moments, but mocking Penelope to his friends is appalling. Can’t wait for you to start season 3!,

    • @HuntingViolets
      @HuntingViolets 28 днів тому

      She wouldn't have ruined herself by revealing her identity to the Queen considering the Queen wanted to work with Whistledown. The only reason Eloise met Theo was because she was trying to find Whistledown to get her to retract things she'd written about Penelope's family. The irony. But if Penelope didn't want to work with the Queen, she should definitely have shared her secret with Eloise and the two of them could have tried to come up with a plan. Honestly, this is all for drama, but I actually think Penelope working with the Queen would have been more fun as a storyline. Imagine her getting annoyed by all the suggestions the Queen has for the column. Comedy gold!

    I'm not sure Penelope is burdened by being a wallflower. I think she chooses that at some point to get gossip. She could have asked Colin to introduce her to gentlemen or find her an interested dance partner. She doesn't want anyone else.
    I'm not too bothered by Colin saying he wouldn't court Penelope. He could have said "because she's like a sister to me" or "I'm not good enough for her" or any number of things the moment after she walked away, so it doesn't seem that definitive (whereas Anthony was very clear) that it's meant to be insulting. It was a one-two punch for Penelope, of course.

    I will say I prefer season 1 over season 2. Not because the season was bad, just because I don't really like Anthony.
    I don't like Eloise. I feel bad that she got hurt ofc but Penelope did warn her over and over to leave it alone, but she did not.
    Pen did what she did in order to protect her, and you can tell Penelope was crushed about having to do it. Could she have gone about it a different way? OFC
    Eloise wouldn't even listen to Pens explanation as to why.
    Eloise took Pen for granted. She always talked about herself, and what wanted and never really listened to what Penelope was saying or what she wanted.
    Penelope is my favorite character.
