Maybe start a new thread.

DP. Maybe become comfortable with talking about the Regency period and its tropes. The Prince Regent would be Queen Charlotte's son.

You know Charlotte wasn't a character in the books, right? She was added for the show.

I don't understand why someone watching a Regency era show wouldn't want to talk about the Regency.

Like... why do you think it's called that?

It is a mystery, isn't it?

I realize this is going to enrage the "don't teach me history" people, but I'm just saw the most interesting fact. Apparently an extremely niche historical error in Season 4 is that Benedict is actually swimming a more modern stroke, the front crawl wasn't used in Britain until later in the 1800s, someone in that era would have been swimming breast stroke.

As someone who learned to swim so young it honestly never even occurred to me that the swimming stroke we sort of consider default is pretty modern. I could have guessed that for something like butterfly but not front crawl.

Is it true that Kate and Anthony return with their child in Part 2?

I love that! My mom, who learned to swim in the 1930s, actually never really learned the crawl/freestyle. She learned breast stroke and side stroke at the Y. As a result, that's what I learned growing up in the 70s/80s.

I actually would not be surprised if he did come into the picture in future episodes. I think he already was in some episodes -- when the Queen wanted to play match maker for her sons, right? And in the last episodes, the Queen was obviously depressed because the King is getting much worse, and she was already asking about what happens to her when he dies. I don't really know when in time we are supposed to be...is the Prince Regent supposed to be reigning at this point, already, as Regent? Or is it before that?

Are there any trailers yet for Part 2?

Crawl is kind of a dumb stroke.

My boss resembles Benedict and it REALLY ruins Benedict for me, because ewwww!!!!

So THIS is an interesting bit of trivia to add to the Bridgerton discussion.

Making every other post about Pamela Who Cares is not.
