[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a little irked by this season because Benedict is such a rake that I don’t see her being okay with that, and I don’t see him reforming long term.

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. [b] 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. [/b] 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.[/quote]
not if the family is wealthy.   Second sons (and the rest) get an allowance (basically) if the family is wealthy.[/quote]
