Bridgerton Season 4

Plus, at some point during one of the other seasons, I looked up the syphilis rates for regency London and they were really appalling. (Much lower in the countryside!) So for sure Benedict has syphilis and probably herpes and the clap too, which probably means he’s infertile and destined for an early death or insanity. Also the fact that all these prostituyes are mostly poor girls who got “ruined” (r@ped) by their former employers or the local rich guy, or are alcoholics who were thrown out by their families, so I feel like any guy patronizing 18th century prositites is inherently gross, even if he’s hot.

The Francesca plot line is also irritating me. She is so dead eyed.

I am curious to see what they do with the bookish sister next season. She’s sort of a Joe March character so needs some crotcehdly German tutor rather than a rich pretty boy.

Finally, I am a little irritated that the mother is so set on marrying all her sons off to fancy aristocratic girls. There is not money for that and it’s not realistic. Excess sons need to go into the British navy or the clergy to make a solid income with which they can marry a middle class girl who knows how to cook and can get by with one or two servants. Or maybe they can be a solicitor but I feel like that’s not a great spot until the Industrial Revolution really takes off. British east India company is another option.

This is why whatsername needs the Cinderella story of being a hidden noble. Otherwise she and Benedict will starve because his brother inherited the title and lands and he has no career or income at all. She’s gonna have to bring the bacon to this relationship.

not if the family is wealthy. Second sons (and the rest) get an allowance (basically) if the family is wealthy.

The scene with Benedict and Sophie in the stairwell was so hot…he licked two of his fingers….omg! I need a cold shower. Of course it was totally ruined with the whole “Be my mistress” line.

Violet was a trip with the whole inviting Lady Danbury’s brother over for tea.

Omg really?? I didn’t get the finger licking at all. If she’s really going to come in 45 seconds or whatever, she’s already lubricated. And if she wasn’t, licking your fingers like that wouldn’t help. He barely moistened them. It was just kind of icky.

Totally disagree. He was making sure he wouldn’t hurt her. He doesn’t know if she’s lubricated enough. Plus she’s a virgin!

See, this is the kind of dialogue I enjoy about Bridgerton. Napoleon—who the heck cares? Talk to me about a man who understands proper lubrication!

The original book was setup like a Cinderella story. Running away at midnight, loss of a clothing items, etc. In the story of Cinderella, the family has some means but the dead father's daughter is made into a servant.

I don't remember if Sophie was illegitimate in the book. In the show, she is.

Is she really, or is this only what the stepmother told her. I am not sure I believe it. I also don't believe her father left her penniless. That doesn't make sense and stepmom hid the truth, and poor Sophie never questioned the lie.

The father introduced her to his new wife as "My ward". Also her name is said over and over to be Sophie Baek. His name was Viscount Li and although that could be a title, it appears to be his last name.

During that scene, I felt like he was calling her his ward because he was trying to please the new wife.

No. If he'd been trying to please her, he would have claimed the girl was the orphaned child of a distant relative, or the child of one of the servants. Saying "my ward" was a well understood euphemism for "my illegitimate child." He tried to avoid introducing her at all, actually, and skipped right over her as he was introducing servants.

The housekeeper and governess also warned Sophie to never call him "my father" before the new wife showed up, saying it would upset her. Everyone knew she was going to be surprised to learn about Sophie and would not want to be reminded that she was the Viceroy's daughter. But it's clearly an open secret and no one was confused about what was happening.

I wonder if they will ever reveal who her mother was on the show.

I know it's reddit but that's what the googly thing offered me first.

To be fair, Bridgerton is about sex, not about history. It is a fantasy. People who are trying to relate it to real history do not get the point of the show.

+1 no doubt it was a man yapping about Nelson…and probably a man saying she didn’t need to be lubricated. lol.

+1 if you can’t suspend your disbelief, you will hate the show. It isn’t attempting to be historically accurate it’s basically just the aesthetic vibe and mating style of the regency era put into a modern show. You have multiple interracial marriages between nobility in the show, that is already killing the historical accuracy of the show. Just have fun with it.

You have to suspend disbelief but the show does actually assume you have some idea of Regency tropes. What's going on with the king, why does everyone wear high waisted dresses, What's up with the social strata.

They assume you have some base knowledge from watching or reading Jane Austen.

Ok, sure, but the show does not assume knowledge if Admiral Nelson's mistress. Even the costumes are anachronistic -- the queen dresses like Marie Antoinette because it's fun, it has nothing to do with historical accuracy. And they play fast and loose with high society as it suits them, especially on the race stuff. For instance the embrace of the Mondrichs. Which is fun, those are good characters and really charismatic actors. But totally absurd in terms of historical accuracy.

They don't want you thinking too hard about what Regency England was actually like.

The race thing is so refreshing. Considering

Probably not but it's a fun jumping off point, particularly if you read some of the over the top sentimentalist stuff (I took a whole class on it in college).

Pamela, she's a maid whose wealthy employer (Mr. B) wants to make her his mistress (he's really quite terrible) and she holds out, ends up married and joining upper society. And to be clear, this book is ridiculously over the top and moralistic, but it's kind of on point and was written a solid 70 years before Bridgerton takes place. I'm betting the author who wrote Bridgerton had probably read those novels.

It was incredibly hot and agree he was all about pleasing her. But how would he know she’s a virgin? How do we know she’s a virgin-are we just assuming since she’s not married yet?

That is definitely not true at all. I have not read or watched any Jane Austen. I don’t know what’s going on with the king, why they wear high waisted dresses, etc and I don’t really care. I know little to nothing about Regency tropes. I love the show. I am their target audience probably.
