[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the only reason people got mad initially is not that historical references were brought up, but that the poster or posters who brought them up mentioned them with zero context and then got annoyed by and insulted people who were like "who is Nelson? what is Pamela? what does this have to do with the show?"

I think it's fine to discuss the historical references but don't be a pedantic jerk about it. Not everyone is a history nerd and it is absolutely possible to watch and enjoy this show knowing literally nothing about Regency England. If you want to bring up historical references, be ready to explain it and give context, and try to do so with a good attitude.

Can we move on now?[/quote]

This is it exactly!!! Thank you!

For the record, I’m the one who was asking who were those people. I am not a history nerd and generally don’t like history. I was taken aback by the rudeness of the replies when I asked for context. It seems like maybe that person doesn’t have appropriate affect?

I would love to move on though and get back to discussion of the show!!![/quote]

Yes, let’s talk about the history of dancing in the show! Did anyone read the NYT article on it? very interesting about waltzing vs more social dances. [/quote]

I am interested but don't have a NYT subscription. Can you summarize or gift link? Would love to know more, the dance sequences are always something I enjoy. I also always enjoy those in Austen movies. [/quote]

Enjoy! https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/arts/dance/bridgerton-waltz.html?unlocked_article_code=1.LFA.Nfyc.KWUWI1i2PteT&smid=url-share

There’s a lot there but the historical aspect is that waltz was the first dance that you would do only with your partner (as opposed to switching partners during the dance) and that dance was the only acceptable way to actually touch a man. [/quote]
