The date crashers scene at the cinema really pissed me off, plus Brief Encounter is such a good movie!

I liked the season, although I did find most of the new kids kind of annoying. I'm really glad they had Viv's storyline with the gonna-be abusive boyfriend. It was pretty clear that he was moving too quickly and was over-the-top jealous, but of course, the average teenager in love (or adult, for that matter) wouldn't understand what red flags those things were, no matter how smart she is. I'm glad her friends rallied around her and warned her, and that she listened to them. I liked Eric's storyline up until the "I'm going to be a pastor" declaration. I didn't really buy that as the resolution his visions brought him to.

That fight between Eric and Otis needed to happen. So much between them is left unsaid. Have we ever seen Otis even come to Eric's house or interact with Eric's parents?

Didn't Jackson figure out that Maeve broke up with him in Season 1 because of her feelings for Otis?

Hulu kept recommending this to me, so I finally decided to watch it. I guess Hulu knows me well, because I love it! My two favorite moments so far is seeing Fatass and Bust-A-Nut looking down from heaven while those kids were fighting and Luis being disturbed after seeing the video of a baby "busting through [a woman's] pussy up close."

He concentrating real hard to do a Southern accent. I never understood the casting for that role. No disrespect to Chris Klein, but if the accent was that important for the part, there are so many actors who are from the South who would sound more convincing.

For the first couple of episodes this season, I wasn't even sure if it was the same actor, even after I'd just watched Season 2, Episode 10 to remind myself what happened. That's how little of an impression the actor left on me. The most passionate thing he did was show up with milkshakes. They were probably vanilla milkshakes 😂

The director had Heather Headley play that scene as if she were on the stage. She doesn't need to be that extra on a little TV show.

You're right. I didn't understand why she still wasn't drinking even after she told Ryan she can't get pregnant again. I just rewatched that scene, though, and she said the chances of her carrying a pregnancy are slim, not that it was impossible.

I thought the reason that Tyler told Annie he wouldn't take to see Jackson anymore was that he started having feelings her, but now I'm not sure. And I thought he was going to apologize for being so harsh when he saw her at school, but he doubled down.

The snooty bingo caller was pretty funny – "O as in Ozymandias." Definitely got a retired English teacher vibe from her. Did I miss something? Is there a reason why Helen doesn't drink or at least has a different drink than her friends during their girls nights?

I'm beginning to realize what bugs me about this show. Everyone spends all of their time having deep, heartfelt conversations. ALL.THE.TIME. Everyone in town communicates this way: women, men, teenagers. That is not how people talk in the real world. Most people have heartfelt talks every once in a while. Most of us converse about mundane, everyday things. I get it that it's the style of this show, but it feels like these people live on another planet. Also, I will never not hate Ryan, and I don't want him and Helen together. Now I have to be subjected to so many scenes of Heather Headley's over-the-top acting.

The scene was painful for me because the actor who played Owen was really bad. I assumed he must have been related to the producer or director.

They had the sex the day he brought her the hat. Lord Ledger has some serious game! 😂

Sometimes Grace bugs me, but I've never loved her more than I did in this scene. Quoting the Bible to her pastor and then rebuking him? Gold.

Same. Also, I was pleased to see that both Charlotte and Lady Danbury had visible "kitchens," i.e. tightly curled hair at the nape of the neck. It just added some authenticity to their hair being natural and not wigs. It would be funny if Charlotte knew how her hair should be done, but still didn't know how to take off her own clothes.

After her meet cute with George, she decided that she wanted to marry him, so she chose to wear the dress she wanted to wear rather than the dress was she was being forced to wear when the marriage was being forced on her.

I had a timeline question about that reference to the Hastingses. Would they have been Simon's grandparents maybe? Simon is close to Anthony's age, so he won't be born for another 20+ years. Then again, we do know that Simon's parents struggled to conceive, so the 1761 Hastings might very well be his parents. On second thought, I don't think we're supposed to be thinking about the timeline too much because then young Violet's age makes no sense at all. She shouldn't even be born yet during this time.

How on earth did they do those hopping dances in those dresses? My ankles were crying in solidarity.

I couldn't tell if the doctor was really trying to help George or if he was trying to manipulate and gain control over him for his own purposes.

I love love loved the focus on the mature women of the Bridgerton universe. I was also happy to see that Brimsley had a romantic relationship. I was heavily invested in every storyline. The only nitpick I have is that it seemed off that Lady Danbury and Lady Bridgerton used each other's first names so much, given that they never did so in Bridgerton, even in scenes in which they were alone together. I get that we were seeing a more intimate side to their friendship, but they were first-naming each other even before Violet confessed to being horny. I have to find a way to use her "my garden is in bloom" metaphor bc that was hilarious. I was surprised that Lady D put her birthday hat on display where Violet might see it, but I also didn't like Violet fishing to find out what happened between Lady D and her father. Whatever it was happened 30+ years ago, and it was really none of Violet's business.

I couldn't tell if Fay is just a serious, low-key person or if she didn't actually want to be going on dates. She just never looked all that pleased when Shaya showed up, like she was doing this whole thing out of obligation. Her mom looked happier to meet him. OTOH, she could be, like me, just not an expressive person.

They were going to help her, but they showed up late to meet her because those two male officers made them type reports. By the time they got there to pick her up, she had already been taken by the kidnapper/murderer.

I wished she'd spent more with the professor--he might have surprised her if their relationship became sexual. I feel like a 44-year-old should be past the point of sex being the #1 criteria for a partner. #2 or #3, sure, if it's that important to you, but character should be #1.

I thought they were going to have a conversation with TK about Huntington's, as it could affect his and Carlos's family planning choices. Maybe we'll get that in a later episode.
