I think that if she ridiculed men, she would be in deep trouble. It would be akin to subversion. I don't think anyone would feel safe to be seen even reading her pieces. I hope that by the end of the series, they address it and she indeed writes about their society's prejudices and double standard. I see Pen's actions with more forgiving eyes. I am under the impression that she writes about gossips most people already know about. It's like she's a blogger going to every parties in town and making sure that those who missed it know everything that went on. I thought that "almost ruining" Daphné in season one was an accident. What did she even write about Daphné? Wasn't it only that Anthony was protecting her like a bear and allowed no man to actually court her and that he felt that no man was good enough for her ? I'm paraphrasing but wasn't it also the truth? She didn't lie! And how was she supposed to know that it would have the effect of pushing men away from Daphné? The only real secrets she revealed are Marina's pregnancy and schemes and Eloise's sneaking out and paper boy. And both secrets she revealed because she felt she had no other choice. When it comes to the case of Marina, I don't blame her. She had a though decision to make and she chose her best friend and the person she loved. She tried to help Marina, Lady Featherington tried to help Marina but she wanted the pretty and rich Colin Bridgerton. That's on her. And also Colin could have still married her if he wanted to. After all someone did marry her in those circumstances. Rich and powerful people made the law back then (they still do). If he wanted to, if they all wanted to, they could have accepted her and forced society to accept her as well. Pen knew him enough to know that he wouldn't. Also Pen's actions didn't almost cause Marina to have an abortion. Marina tried and failed to have an abortion and that is how the family found out that she was pregnant. As for Eloise, well she was embarassed and "almost ruined" but had she continued with her romance with paper boy or had her involvement with those human rights activist (I don't remember exactly what they were) deepened, then she would have been truly ruined. I choose to believe that she has done only what is talked about in the show and therefore that she has not ruined or almost ruined anybody else. I still think she should apologise and make amends for the harm her gossips caused but I don't see her as some sophisticated spy or informant.

Yes! I was disappointed that he too slept with prostitutes/slept around. We already had Anthony and Benedict behaving like whores. We didn't need Colin to behave like that as well. Not every man is like that today and not every man was like that back then. The idea that he too used women's bodies to feel good about himself and "find" himself is kinda disgusting. I would have been okay with him flirting with and maybe kissing courtisans in clubs but straight brothels! Just no. I don't even want to think about all the STIs he could and should get from such a behaviour. It makes my skin crawl. Also why are Benedict and Colin such "catch"? They are younger brothers of a viscount. They are noble, yes but untitled and without land or estate of their own. Would they truly be so sought after back then? Is the Bridgerton's fortune really so immense that it will insure a comfortable future for all those sons with no properties of their own? And why are all the Mamas and girls so desperate? Are the Bridgertons the only one able to afford potential unmarried daughters? I get wanting to marry your daughter off but was it truly such a shame not to find a match during your first season? I'm not a specialist of Regency Era but it seems wrong. Still I loved it and can't wait for the second part.

Earth also left the Federation but we still see humans in Starfleet. There should still be Vulcans, Andorians and some mixed people in Starfleet/in the Federation.

I binged this show in a day. Even though I knew it was going to be pretentious and unrealistic I was so bored that I decided to watch it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. It was exactly how I imagined it to be, yet I was still very entertained. On the boat in the storm John B says "I'd rather die that go to jail" and kook princess Sarah replies "I'd rather die that be without you". I laughed out loud during that since. I don't think that was the intended reaction but I couldn't help but wonder how long these two had really knowned each other to say things like that. So melodramatic, so intense. It was just a funny show. I felt uncomfortable when Sarah joined the group and was suddenly John B's priority. It felt like she became the lead female and Kie was relegated to supporting character and I didn't like it. I comforted myself with the fact that she (kie) rejected all three of them (the guys). She was their friend who happened to be a girl and didn't want to be anything else. I thought she might be into Sarah but I just liked the fact that she wasn't into any of the guys. Sometimes a girl just wants to be friends. But then they had her kiss Pope in the last episode. I did not like that. I didn't even see it coming, it was so strange. Obviously I loved their always perfect hair of the characters and their pretty faces. I loved the friendship of the pogues even though their shenanigans were unrealistic. I especially loved JJ and Pope's relationship. They were my favorite pairing even if not romantic. I guess that is one of the reasons I didn't like the kiss between Kie and Pope. I hope it was just all the emotions of the last episode and they will be back to being just friends in season 2. I also don't want to see Kie and JJ together. This is the first time I am against a romantic pairing of my favorite female character with my favorite male. For once I am one of those who just want friendship. I can already roll my eyes at John B (stupidest name ever with Topper being close second) and Sarah in the Bahamas. What can they possibly do to get the gold back? In reality nothing but in this fiction they will probably be a real thorn in Ward's back. When Barry said he owned Rafe, that was another LOL moment for me. Who is going to believe him? He is a drug dealer, he wasn't at the scene. Ward and his wife will back Rafe's story. Barry had nothing and Rafe would know that if he wasn't an idiot. I hope they will tone the violence down in season two. The almost drowning, the almost beating someone to death. That was strange. Who does that besides psychopaths? In summary a silly entertaining show. I will be back for season 2 but they better not ruined the dynamic of the main characters.

I was done with this show until the Titan came on screen. Riker and Troi's cameo plus Boimler getting his promotion and leaving the hell that is the Cerritos and its inadequate crew are the only good thing about this whole show. I find it too violent for children and too dumb for adults. I don't get the appeal.

So Mariner's academy friend is a captain... How old is Mariner supposed to be?

I cannot stand Mariner and it makes me sad because I want to like her. So far I too prefer the bridge crew. I don't like that there are so few non human speaking characters. It's such a shame.

Please Xander don't die. You are finally who I wanted you to be when the show started.

My dislike for Ben has reached nuclear levels. I wouldn't mind if he just died. Obviously he was just tolerating Maddie because Ryn cares for her too. If Ryn hadn't been okay with the three way relationship he would have broken up with Maddie for Ryn a long time ago. His over protectiveness of Ryn drives me crazy. She is a warrior and head of her tribe! All I think when I see him is "white savior syndrome". I hope Robb comes back. He is way more interesting. His whole tribe seems very interesting. Tia is a real monster. How many of her people has she killed? Maddie is awesome. And again I hate Ben.

I did not see that coming! On last episode's tread someone spoke of Robb's acute sense of smell last episode. I guess they were onto something! Tia is harming her people more than she is harming humans and with her knowledge of humanity she should know better. Her plan doesn't make sense.

I think Ava poisoned him with fentanyl and that's why he was loosing his senses.

I like this show. It pains me to see how little people seem to care about it. I want to know what others think of it!

I used to wonder when Jack Bauer from 24 would go to the toilet, eat or sleep. I wonder the same thing about these characters. When Nyssa jumped with the zeta-beam all I could think of was, why doesn't she take a little bag with some supplies?she doesn't even know where she will land. The fight scene between Dru and Lyta/Seg was the best thing of this episode. But where were all the reconditioned Dru worshipers? All the Sagittari present decided to follow Primus Lyta Zod. Wouldn't that be unlikely? I wouldn't mind Jayna and Dev if Dev hadn't been engaged to Jayna's daughter and sleeping with said daughter's clone a few weeks??/months?? ago.

Being born via genetical engeneering doesn't necessarily mean absence of love between the parents though. But then I know nothing of Kal El genealogy or life on Krypton. I am surprised so many people care about this love triangle. It is the worst part of the show to me. All those passionated conversations about who deserves Seg's love more, is the reason writers keep doing this.

I did not need to see that much blood...
