AAAAAHHHHH YOU LEGEND!! (can you tell I’ve been waiting for this LMAO)

Harry Allen

PLAN FOR THE EVENING: - Teen Wolf is compressing as I type so that will be next - The Originals is rendering so will follow - The Magicians is being edited rn so that will follow after but will likely be quite late compared to the others (911 is coming tomorrow as I didn't get to record it today)

penelope's outfits have been intentionally unflattering throughout thw show - the canon reason is that lady featherington wants her daughters to stand out hence the bright citrus colours - but also it makes her inevitable glow up all the more satisfying. there's a running theme w bridgerton where the characters have a major glow up when it comes to their season.

To be honest, it always kind of hurts my feelings when people hate on Colin in general and specifically, him talking about his travels. He's very similar to Penelope in that he's just trying to be liked and not feeling good enough, but I feel like people see that more easily in Penelope. And here, he's purposefully *not* talking about his travels. He didn't write to his family while he was away, they point out he hasn't overshared about his journeys, and when they ask how many cities he's been to, he says "he can't remember." But he says the exact number to Penelope. He does remember. He doesn't trust the people in his life to care about him. That's why he's acting so fake this episode. He's trying to find people to at least like the pretend-him, when there was nothing wrong with the real him.

Ahhh interesting, didn't pick up on the fact he told Penelope the number, I wonder why he feels so distant with his family and can't trust them. Also don't get me wrong I have nothing against him, he seems lovely, I just HATE flirting compilations in TV as they always make me cringe 😭

Anthony and Benedict are much closer in age. Colin didn't have that automatic friendship growing up. He's closest in age to Daphne and she left. He's the Momma's boy of the family, but that means he's mostly trusted to be "the good one" so he doesn't get attention. You can see he's offended in S1 that Violet didn't notice he was "serious" about Marina, saying that her attention was too locked on Daphne. Eloise and A&B continuously tell him his travel stories are boring. For that matter, he gave everyone thoughtful, personalized gifts, and Eloise is telling him she doesn't want hers. He thought Marina genuinely cared about him and it turned out to be a lie. And, from his perspective, (before he knew why she was angry) Penelope just stopped writing to him because he wasn't interesting enough to hold her attention, either.

Hali

Colin is pretty much doing the same thing as Eloise – adapting to the society around him by becoming the person people will like (which obviously has worked). He was mocked in s1 for being sensitive/a loverboy, mocked in s2 for trying to carve out a path for himself. Even losing Penelope’s correspondence while travelling must’ve been a blow so it makes sense for him to want to become a different person. Only the people who truly know him, like Penelope, see through the act.

Hali

There was a really disgusting plot line in the book where Penelope basically had to lose weight in order to become desirable and I’m so glad the show didn’t do that. I also like that they kept her social anxiety because changing your wardrobe doesn’t magically give you self esteem after being beaten down on for years.

Leila Davis-Middleton

just wanted to say bc it popped back into my head while watching the reaction, but one of my biggest headcanons this season is autistic francesca, and i'm curious if anyone else sees it? particiularly over the course of the season you see her social awkwardness and her being the sort-of black sheep of the bridgerton family in that sense and in many other ways. her interest in pianoforte/music in general feels a lot like a special interest to me - i see a lot of myself in her personally. like, i could just be projecting but i can't be the only one who sees it, right?

Elizabeth Gates

I genuinely don't think Colin's comment last year was about not holding Penelope in high regard. He just didn't view her that way -- or didn't know he viewed her that way. Two things I feel people forget in this show is a) he and Pen met when they were children and b) the age gap. I don't think we're given the exact ages they met in the show, but he's five years older. So if they met when Pen was 8, he was 13. When she was 12, he was 17. It can be weird to shift your understanding of someone from friendship into romance with that situation.

Omg wait I get what U mean, I haven't had enough time with her to fully see it, but while reading this my brain was just like "yup" 😂

I 1000% agree with everything you wrote about Colin and such a great characterization of him. He is definitely the most misunderstood Bridgerton because he is more quiet and subtle with whats going on with him internally. He is not one to get angry or extremely dramatic about his troubles (which is totally fine) and just bottles it up. The sequences of him flirting with all the women are definitely meant to be cringe and succeeded in being icky (I was right there with you Harry) because that is just never who he was and you can just see how fake and forced it is all because he wants to fit in and be like the rest of the men in the ton. Anthony and Benedict were way more experienced than Colin, throwing it back to s1 and s2 they were always sleeping with different women (which is totally fine I just want to show the differences between them and Colin) meanwhile Colin was ready to settle down and marry Marina even though he was much younger. Anthony literally told him he needed to go "wet his wick" instead of marrying Marina and he refused and only wanted to be with someone he loved. Also in season 2 Marina straight up called him a little boy caught up in his own fantasies and I truly believe he took that to heart and wanted to show how mature and grown up he is now and completely change who he is at his core which is a soft lover boy. I truly believe he thinks he was a fool after the whole Marina situation and never wanted to feel like that again so he decided to put up this fake persona. I just love Colin so much and will always defend him with my life lmao

Exactly!! I always see people like actively ask why Colin didn't like Pen before, but my point is do you not see your friends as kind and warm? Do you not seek them out at social gatherings full of hoity-toity people? Like him saying he would never court her seems harsh, but the context never seemed like he said it to mock her. It is the way if someone teased me with my best friend who is of the gender I date, in modern language I'd say, "I'm not dating my bestie", which is exactly what Colin said.

Hali

The way Mr Finch smiled up at Penelope when she arrived at the ball was so sweet 🥹

Elizabeth Gates
>>159063423

Yes, I feel like that's why I always feel like I have to speak up for him because it's not in Colin's nature to speak up for himself. He's been hurting quietly for a lot of this show and people don't look close enough to notice the signs.

Priyanka Bansal

OMG you are speaking my language!! I have been so jaded and tired from seeing the online discourse about how benedict or anthony is more interesting than colin but how can we not see that his family constantly mocks him and puts him down (it can be argued it is all in jest), but his whole family puts down his travels, which he is genuinely excited about. I never saw anyone actively put Eloise down for talking about her feminist ideas and women's place in society ALL THE TIME. Like yes, they would brush it off, but Eloise putting women who choose to raise families and love marriage and the "traditional dream" down was far more infuriating to me than Colin mentioning Greece a few times lol. The thing about watching this show is, people very clearly identify with the female struggles, just look at Cressida. She has been a nasty bitch to everyone but especially penelope from the first season (when she spilled the drink on her and her and colin first danced), and still people are down to see her arc. But when Colin apologizes (Cressida doesn't apologize, she only realises and keeps her realisations to herself), people go ehhh his apology is not enough. I would have liked to see a longer scene but he cannot say to pen's face that he said that because he likes her as a friend and does not see her that way because that can also come off wrong and harsh. Sorry for the long rant, I never comment on stuff like this but not seeing people understand Colin frustrates me because you just need to put in more effort than other quite obvious characters to like, like anthony and benedict.

So far we've seen the two eldest of each gender (as it's understood in the Bridgerton world) make their way. Daphne as the eldest girl knew her role was to set the standard for her sisters. Anthony was finding the future Vicountess. Even Benedict and Eloise have the defined roles of "being second" - Benedict manages when Anthony is absent and Eloise even took Daphne's old room if not her old "role". Colin has...what? He's not expected or really permitted to have an actual profession. He has no familial responsibility. He's set for life but has nothing to do. He tried being himself and had his heart broken (twice!) and was the butt of a joke nearly every time he was onscreen with his family in S2. This is his attempt to be what everyone thinks he should be as a young man with all the money but none of the responsibility. It feels cringe because he's pretending. I do have such a soft place in my heart for this poor boy! Just as much as for Penelope (whose mother scoffs at the idea that any man could possibly want her).

Michelle

In interviews, Luke Newton, the actor who plays Colin, has been asked about his “glow up” this season and he did say it was a personal choice. He honestly never really got too into detail about it just that he wanted to show that Colin came back very different. Doesn’t seem like anyone in production forced him to change himself! The only thing they intentionally changed were his outfits, they are much darker and more mature than previous seasons, and his hair style. I always thought he was handsome but I am a sucker for his curls this season. Also, people started spreading around that he had botox done but in an interview he said he didn't but took it as a compliment lmao

Hali
>>159065998

I don’t think Colin saying “I don’t see you that way” would even really make sense since to him, Penelope knows he doesn’t see her that way 😭 But yeah, Anthony’s always been my favourite of the Bridgertons because I relate to him the most, but Colin is my 2nd fav of the brothers because he’s the most vulnerable & the sweetest. It was sad seeing him act like the other men of the ton this season after actively avoiding being like that in s1 and getting chastised for it. The most likeable parts of his character are the parts he’s trying to keep hidden.

Jessi
>>159066767

I can definitely see that! At the very least, an introvert among extroverts - but, you definitely have a point.

Kitty Underwood
>>159067182

I get what you're saying, but it'd be more equivalent if people who thought *anyone* dating your bestie would be funny, because they found your bestie so undesirable, and you said you would never. I know Colin is just oblivious of that, but it was very damaging to Pen

Laura W
>>159067182

I fully agree with everything you say in your comment, but just want to clarify I'm pretty sure the age difference is only 3 years in the show (5 in the book). They said Colin was 21 at the end of season 2 so I think he's meant to be 22 and Pen 19 in season 3.

Elizabeth Gates
>>159067182

OK, thanks for the clarity. I thought it was five for some reason, but I have read the book too, so maybe I just got confused.

Laura W
>>159065998

One of my favourite small things in his episode is how Colin and Eloise immediately clock each other as being fake in their first interaction lol. But yes, you can tell how Colin really feels in that scene with the brothers when Anthony is congratulating him on his admirers and he's just looking depressed. I changed my entire personality so people would like/respect me more...and it worked!? Ouch.

Laura W

I don't think I've seen anyone mention it so far, but yes, they recast the actress for Francesca this season. I believe the original actress got a role in another show. I believe they just explain her characters absences as her off learning piano in Bath. Re Penelope forgiving Colin and whether it's too easy, the thing is that she really doesn't want to lose him, especially now with being at odds with Eloise and the relationship with her family. She doesn't really have anyone.

Jessi
>>159067182

Honestly, the timelines make no real sense in the show, and I imagine it'll get worse. In the books, Daphne was in her 3rd season when she met the Duke, making her older than show Daphne - and Colin is meant to be only 18 months older than her. So, show Colin is right to be about 22 but Eloise? She's meant to be 4 years younger than Daphne but the show made them much much closer in age to accomodate the adjustment in Daphne's age. Additionally, in S2, (and this ALWAYS bothers me) the show is 1 year later than S1, so, 1814...but Episode 3 of S2 opens saying that it was 10 years earlier that Edmund died BUT his memorial says he died in May of 1803. And finally, most egregiously, (lol) in 1815 (which should be this year) the actual Queen Charlotte was 71. Now, I'm not saying that OUR QC couldn't just look absolutely fabulous at 71...but that would make Lady Danbury mid to late 70s and Violet in her 60s...which makes no sense because her youngest child is 12-13! So. I stopped trying to make it make sense. Lol

i'm so glad you see it too, lol - autistic francesca means the world to me, it's my favourite bridgerton headcanon. like, if you pay attention to francesca and how she views things and acts throughout the season it makes sooo much sense. (she lowkey is my favourite character this season, only partly bc i find her the most relatable of the bridgerton's.)

Its very shocking that Penelope even wrote things about the Bridgertons at all, since season 1 we've seen her write horrendous things about the Bridgertons even though they're the only ones who have always shown her kindness and treated her as part of the family.
