Penelope Bridgerton (Netflix)

1) This is the reported for timeline for Season 3 of Bridgerton: "Season 3 of Bridgerton, set in 1815, focuses on Colin and Penelope's romance."

2) This is the reported timeline for Queen Charlotte: "1817

The death of Princess Charlotte, the royal heir, prompts the queen to pressure her children to marry and produce another heir. The series is set after the events of Bridgerton season two, but before season three."

There's a conflict there - how do the events of 1817 (Queen Charlotte) occur BEFORE Season 3 of 1815 (Bridgerton) ??

AND ... if 1815 does in fact come before the events of 1817, why is there no mention of Lord Anderson (Lady Danbury's brother and love interest of Violet Bridgerton in Season 3) in Queen Charlotte ??

When I watch S3Ep4 ~~ the Old Friends episode ~~ how are the guys that Penelope's sisters married aren't considered male relatives? Is it because her sisters married into those families, or is it just the time period? I would think that they were her male relatives more than her not having any at the moment.

Maybe it's just me, but I love the Little Mermaid movie ~~ The 1989 version is what I've seen more than the 2023 version ~~ but I get some serious mermaid color vibes in the dresses in the current season. I don't know if it was decided because Penelope is a redhead or just because she's trying to be more adult than what her mom thinks is adult.

I find that, for me, the most relatable character is Penelope. I think that for me she's more relateable by being the one person in her family who is either ignored or over looked, and her family doesn't seem to care in any way. I know personally what it's like to be treated like Penelope by my family because I've been ignored by my family far more times than I would like to admit to. I think that why season three Penelope is so refreshing from the first two is that she stopped pining for Colin, and started focusing on other men, like her mirror Lord Debling. I think that Lord Debling is Pen's reflective person who sees her and wants to know her more than the other men want to. I will say that Penelope is also the strongest female character in the show, from the start, because of who she is, or who the town knows as Lady Whistledown. I don't think that any other of the female characters would dare to do what she's done, and I think that she is perfect for the wallflower charater type so that other women can relate to her. I do feel bad for her with her mom being how she is.

OMG! The season3 ended with so many clues!!!!!

Francesca will again have her own season.

Benedict will be the star in S4.

I don't understand why Shonda Rhimes in S3E1 at 48 minutes would have Penelope sitting in the garden with a very lightweight hot summer dress on, and Colin comes out to meet with her. Colin has four winter layers on with a heavy wool winter coat, a wool jacket under the coat, a silk shirt, and other clothes. Colin could be in sub-zero and still be warm, and Penelope is dressed like she's in the hot tropics. This is totally unlike the reality of the times.
