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.[/quote]

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

Making every other post about Pamela Who Cares is not.[/quote]

OMG stop. The plot is literally lifted from Pamela.[/quote]

DP. That hasn’t been confirmed from the show’s writers though, has it?[/quote]

It doesn’t need to be confirmed ….[/quote]

It’s just a coincidence then. Also there is the Cinderella thing.[/quote]

I don’t understand what you think this conversation is about? It is an artistic/literary production in a long traditions of getting inspiration from the historical era. Of course there are myriad influences visible including common plots and novels - I mean if you didn’t see the reference to Mr Darcy in the lake (which is actually from the miniseries and not the book!) I don’t know what to tell you. Nobody is claiming that they plagiarized or whatever but the influence of various sources (Pamela, Cinderella, the BBC Pride and Prejudice) are easy to see! [/quote]

You seem to be trying to start something over nothing. Responding rudely if someone doesn’t 100 percent agree with you. It’s very odd. I think I know you. You are the Dr. Collins lover from the The Pitt thread. You like to stir up drama in turn every thread about a show.

[/quote]

I don’t watch The Pitt, so no. But yes I am pushing back against the PPs who claim that discussing the historical background and literary/artistic influences is somehow out of line. [/quote]

No one said that. But you continue to go on and on in detail about regency history and this is supposed to be a fun discussion about the tv show itself. You were rude when someone asked who was Pamela, or who was Nelson, like how could they not know?

Do you want to actually discuss the show? Do you have opinions about the characters or plot lines? Or are you going to continue to just bring up history? Yes there are influences - we get that. [/quote]

Omg are you this controlling about everything in your real life? Please accept that what some people think is fun to discuss about the show (history, influences) is not what you think is fun, and just skip those posts.[/quote]

Omg are you this dense in real life? Accept that some people don’t want to spend the whole thread listening to your history lessons without context. And if someone asks a question for clarification about the trivia, no need to be rude. You’re also feee to skip the posts you aren’t interested in without snark.[/quote]

NP here, people weren't asking for context, they were literally complaining about people discussing Regency era figures, telling people NOT to discuss them.  Go back and look at the posts.

Asking for context is fine, going "Stop posting about history, this is Bridgerton" just comes across as petulant.

Julia Quinn's work isn't terribly accurate but she did do some research into the era.[/quote]

When are you going to move on from this? It’s time to grow up and be the bigger person. I’m sorry your feelings were hurt by some anonymous posters. Please let’s get back to discussing the show. JFC.[/quote]

You mean the HISTORICAL ROMANCE show? The one that seeks to in part use history as part of the story telling and inspiration?[/quote]

I'll also point out this person seems to think they're responding to one person but they aren't.  There isn't one person here talking about historical contexts for the show.[/quote]
