I hope you're right because I love Benedict. I also want Shonda to flip the script and have Cressida marry Lord Debling for show and have her and Eloise ride off happily into the sunset together, because those two have mad chemistry, lol.
I'm swooning over Polin and Luke Newton, but in reality, I'm more likely to date a guy like Benedict. I love the funny ones! I'm excited to see his "Bridgerton Leading Man Glow-Up." The only bummer will be that it'll mean we'll see less of him in future seasons, since that always happens. Both Luke and Nic are confirmed for season 4, but obviously, they won't be the leads, so we won't see as much of them. Sadly.

We started Dancing with the Devil. Holy crap! I never heard of this group but I'm sure all of us have seen them on TV.

I also watched Dancing With the Devil. Yikes!!! It's crazy to me how people who run cults get away with a lot and rarely have legal repercussions. On a happier note, since Bridgerton season three has come out, I literally watch the same four episodes every day. For some reason I get great comfort watching it over and over.

We finished it up last night and I'm sorry to say this but like in the case of the sister, just leave her be. The family keeps having her come out and she does but there is no real discussion about what is going on. They can't even mention what is going on. And seriously, the sister is only doing this because she was told to. I understand them wanting to see her but don't put your lives and happiness on hold because of her.

I've started to wonder if my subconscious somehow believes that, if I watch it enough times, episodes 5-8 will magically appear just for me

I’ve only watched the first episode so far. Flirty Colin does not work for me - I was cringing hard in those scenes. I presume it gets better.

He's pretending to be something he isn't. The more times I watch it, the more it makes me laugh. It's SO not Colin (and he will realize that). It definitely gets better. A LOT better.
The new part 2 trailer dropped this morning and It. Is. Good. I can't wait! "Swiftly"

That is exactly it. This isn't who he is.

I would imagine that is easier said than done. I have totally watched those dancing videos and now I feel "ick" because of it. People need to stop following them until that man is in jail....THEN give them support again. If my daughter was "trapped" in something like that....possibly being subjected to sexual assault and definitely being stolen from and brainwashed ...um, yah....I would be there every day. Every.single.day.

Hopefully. I mean, going by the books season 3 should have been his season so I hope it’s not pushed back further since they’ve already done it once.

It could be just a regular promotional appearance, but Luke Thompson (Benedict) and Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte) are scheduled to be on The View on June 6th. There's speculation that they might be there to announce that season 4 of Bridgerton will be Benedict's season. I hope so! I loved his book. Rumor has it that filming on season 4 starts June 10th! Benedict's book was my favorite of them all, so I'm really looking forward to that one!

Luke Thompson and Golda Roshuevel are going to be on The View on June 6th. I know the cast members are all out heavily promoting the show, but that seems an odd combo. Usually, Golda has been doing press with Adjoa Andoh and Ruth Gemmell - they like putting those three ladies together a lot (which I love, because they're hilarious together and I loved them all on Queen Charlotte). It feel like maybe they're going on the show (and I think one more, maybe a morning show in NY) to announce that season 4 is Benedict's. I've definitely got my DVR set! I know that many people - me included - are going to be closely watching the back half of the season for a character who might be Sophie, his love interest in the books.
There's an account on YouTube that has, IMO, the best "Polin" vids and I've seen A LOT of them. The one about Colin that is particularly good, although VERY spoilery, so if you haven't seen the first 4 eps, maybe skip it until you have. It totally made me cry. I think it really gets to the heart of who Colin truly is. The account is www.youtube.com/@theresad9 and this is the Colin vid. I may have watched it a few times There's a vid on that account titled "Colin and Penelope Hurricane" that is REALLY good, but super spoilery if you haven't seen the season. Like, if you haven't watched the first four, you won't need to Really, ALL of the videos on that account are excellent and I have watched them far too many times!

Nicola and Luke had an appearance in Toronto yesterday to promote the last half of the season of Bridgerton. The audience got to see episode 5. Based on descriptions Redditors have posted of the episode, I can’t imagine watching it with a big crowd of people. It gets VERY steamy, folks!
Also, readers of the book will be very happy!

Okay, this is very cool! Netflix is hosting a special online event on June 12th to celebrate the second half of the season of Bridgerton. There are still spaces available and you get early access to episode 5! I just signed up.

I’ve watched through episode 3 of Bridgerton and I’m still not sold on Colin. He’s just…fine. I’ll ship him with Penelope because I know I ought but I honestly would be fine with her ending up with Lord Debling. I’m really only interested in her side of the story.
I wish they spent more time on the Mondriches. Such an interesting transition, from working class to upper. The dichotomy of how do they stay true to themselves and their likes and what they’ve built (the club/their home/their life) and yet navigate their new world. Plus they’re a beautiful couple so that’s just shallow of me. 😂
Loving Benedict and his avoidance of the mamas. And the Featherington subplot is better this year (lol at the one with her “and then he makes a noise and has to change his breeches.”) 😆
Francesca is a bit of a cipher. So far I only know she is quiet, likes the piano and wants to get married. There was a bit more hint in this episode of how her position in a large family is dictating her actions.

I love Francesca and John. There's truth to the saying "There's a lid for every pot" and I loved the scene with him explaining that while he was a man of few words, he preferred action and gifted her the sheet music (which she was absolutely delighted by). Maybe the first two seasons spoiled me, but I'm not sold on Polin yet either; IMO she has more chemistry with Debling. And I too am njoying the side stories with the Mondritches, Fatheringtons, and Violet and Lady Danbury's brother.
Also, please bring back the wheelchair diva with his nosy Lady Whistledown loving self!

I absolutely don't think Polin happened fast. We've been watching it happen slowly for three seasons! I think their chemistry is off the charts, especially in that last episode. Remember, they're having to pretend they don't have those feelings, so we're just getting little hints of it. The more times I watch those four episodes (and it's a lot), the more I see it, but I think the back half of the season is going to be much hotter. If you watch Nicola and Luke in interviews, their level of chemistry is, as one of her friends put it, unsettling.
Frankly, in the book, it does seem fast. Like, the time from him finally noticing her to proposing seems really fast. That's partly because, in the books, the characters/sibs who aren't the main couple are hardly mentioned, except in passing, so they're very minor characters in the previous three books, especially Pen.
Nicola and Luke are in Dublin for the end of their world tour to promote their season. They've been going since January! Italy, Australia, The Phillipines, Brazil, Canada....so many more. I'm sure they're exhausted. They were in Toronto two days ago. They finish tomorrow in Galway, Nicola's hometown. The footage from today's event was insane. The crowds went absolutely crazy, especially for Nicola. She deserves nothing less.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that filming for season 4 starts very soon. One site, which I now can't find, said June 10th. The sooner, the better. I'm really hoping it's Benedict's season. Loved that book!

Dancing for the Devil - I'll never understand how people like that get away with so much. The "leader" was about as charismatic as something I'd find in my cat's litter box.
Atlas - this was...okay. Nice effects, decent story, but JLo just wasn't the one for that role. She's no Sarah Connor or Ellen Ripley.

We will be watching it for sure!!! My co-worker mentioned it was on there. He has some disabilities and I wasn't quite sure I believed him. Last night we checked Netflix and there it was. I am VERY excited to see it. I grew up on Godzilla and all the rest. It will be fun.

AI gains freedom leads a rebellion against humans and flees in a rocket to another galaxy far far away and manages to land on a planet and magically in a few years build infrastructure all by himself and a AI army with the intent to travel thru space to attack earth and Atlas flies there is a few hours. Give me a break. I fast forwarded thru most of it.

We still have an hour left on Godzilla Minus One. My husband, who gets up at 4am every morning, started to doze off. So far, we love the movie. It feels very "old school".
