Some Bridgerton Season 4 story lines for Polin that I think should be included:

1. Some negative consequences for Pen regarding Lady Whistledown. There is no way in the world nobody in the ton would be angry and resentful towards her and what she has written. Tbh, there should be at least one or two people who would want some sort of revenge cause she for sure ruined a few peoples reputations. I must say I'd love the drama, especially protective Colin (😏) but alas, I don't think they'll go into any of that (especially since the epiloge took us almost a year into the future), which again I find extremely unrealistic.

2. The continuation of the LW column. In my opinion, the show would lose an integral part should they chose to scrap LW and with that the voice overs. I hope they will keep Nicola as the voice now that Pen is no longer anonymous, it wouldn't make sense to go back the Julie Andrews doing the voice overs (even though I know she was amazing).

And, like with my first point, realistically there should be a number of people opposing Pen continuing to publish LW since it would still be gossip, even though probably differently attained and less cutting (?).

3. Polin as writers. It's actually a shame they didn't take a little more time to show them in season 3 being happy with each other and Colin working on his book and, with her help, publishing. But in season 4, that really shouldn't be glossed over, it's a huge part of their dynamic as a couple.

4. And then, I know it almost sounds silly to say, just some romantic and sexy moments. They didn't have enough screen time in their own season and Colin was mad and distant almost to the very end. It really shouldn't be too much to ask to give the audience some time with them just being happy together (also with their son). But right now I don't know how optimistic I am about that though.

So yeah, that's just what I think the would be logical to include and what fans deserve to see going forward🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Now about season 3 of Bridgerton....some thought from a Greys Anatomy fan of the first hour cause I need to get it off my chest :)

I was really excited to see Polins story unfold even though I didn't watch Bridgerton before or read the books but I was swept up by the excitement on tiktok and got invested in their story.

But as soon as I heard Shona was involved I was like okayyyyyy, I gotta keep my expectations in check cause the women is not one to write healthy and lasting relationships and reasonable men who communicate well😬

Looking at how the season played out, I completely understand why so many people are disappointed cause there was so much potential wasted, so many scenes that could have made clear to the viewer what was going on in Colins head. I think I filled in the gaps in my mind but there are still some moments, some things he said and did that were almost character destroying, specially the comment about the entrapment, cause dude, she didn't even know what sex was🙄 Also, not even trying to have a converation with her about why LW started and has such significance to her was not sth Colin would do.

And that's the crux of why I think for many die hard fans, the season was a let down. They didn't show any true discussions or enough moments of passion alongside the argument cause in truth, there was no time with all the unnecessary side plots and so few episodes. If you saw the season you know, I won't list them all but I will say they better put a proper Polin side story and spicy scene in Ben's season cause the amount of pointless threesomes I had to skip through is almost offensive, especially cause it should be clear people want intimate scenes of the main couple😮‍💨

But looking at all of it considering this show is part of Shondaland, I am not the least bit surprised. The number of downright character assasinations I watched on Grey's (and other shows of hers) after over a decade watching the development of some of them is kinda ridiculous. The number of ruined relationships and the horrible ways most of them were ruined (I almost cannot believe I'm saying this now but thank god they killed off Derek before completely undoing who he actually was and what Meredith meant to him😭).

Untimately, Shonda loves the drama and the angst and very clearly doesn't think there is much entertainment value in showing happy couples resolving their issues in a healthy way. If you watch a project she's involved in, you gotta be prepared for the couple to not make it and in that way, Bridgerton fans are rather lucky considering no matter how the seasons play out, it's gonna end with a happy couple that's not gonna split up again.

She also was never gonna just take books and keep to the narrative cause I don't believe that would be any fun to her. Especially this season, since she has said that Pen is her favorite character. I was immediately thinking Colin will be taking a back seat and have moments viewers will hate him for to have Pen in the forefront individually.

I guess I'm gonna take away and rewatch the beautiful moments, even some of the angsty ones and wait for what little side plots Polin will have in future seasons. I don't believe I will watch the entirety of future seasons cause I'm not interested to be disappointed by Shonda Rhimes' story telling anymore. Been there done that😂

But my little obsession with Polin was still worth it cause they're just an amazing fictional couple and I might just read their book now☺️

And I have definitely found a new actress to follow along for her future roles cause Nicola is just amazing as an actress and as a person🥰

(Also find it deeply offensive to make an audience wait for 2 years (!!!) for 8 episodes but that's for another day😅)

I can't believe I'm doing this again, but...

ANOTHER YUZURU HANYU RANT INCOMING:

After Beijing I swore I wouldn't read opinion pieces or listen to any commentary about Yuzuru and his career (especially not by Americans), but self-destructive me couldn't help it and now I'm mad, like really mad and nobody in my real life cares, so I'm gonna write this into the void that is the internet🤣

My question at this point is, what else does this man have to do to be acknowledged as the greatest (male) figure skater of all time (and yes, I'm talking objectively)? After what I've read/seen I just don't know anymore, but let's just look at some indisputable facts, shall we?

He is the only men who has won every competition on the junior as well as the senior level.

He has won back to back Olympic gold medals, which hasn't been done since 1952. And if we're being honest here, figure skating then was a completely different sport. So nobody has done it in modern figure skating

He also has 7 World medals (2 of which are gold). I don't know if people, especially the ones saying that there are people with more titles, know how crazy it is to be consistantly medaling at Wolds over a DECADE, not just a quad. Again no other man has done that in modern figure skating and only 4 men have more Worlds medals but guess what, that was PRE WORLD WAR 2!

He has been one of the people pushing the quad revolution forward, being the first to land the quad Loop. So, another one for the record books. And of course the whole 4A saga, that he has been the driving force behind for the last few years. And don't tell me someone else has tried it before, because yes, I know someone has, but nobody has brought that jump into the conciousness of the other skaters and the public like Yuzuru has. It was considered impossible until he started openly training it and now everyone and their mother wants to try it, too.

He has broken 19 World records, more than any other person and also over the timespan of a decade, which again, is insane in a sport people often don't (or can't) even compete that long in general at the senior level.

He won 4 Grand Prix Finals, which also noone else has done (and consecutively I might add).

Now those are some facts. Now you can of course also talk subjective points like the effortlessness with which he skates, the musicality and fluidity but that is not what this little (or maybe big😊) rant is about, cause I know there are people who for some reason don't like that style and prefer something else. Alright, you do you! Not my point right now.

I am also aware that the populatity of someone in whatever field doesn't automatically make them great, but if you take a look outside the tight knit skating community (which I know a lot of people in there, especially in the US, don't like to do) and see the impact Yuzuru Hanyu has had on this sport, it is quite astounding. The amount of people becoming interested and invested in figure skating all over the world because of one person is insane. His name alone can fill arenas.

The reason I'm mentioning this is the question I've asked at the beginning. What else does he have to do? If all the medals, titles and records aren't enough, what else? Maybe being the face of the entire sport? Maybe his unique style? Maybe the fact that the ISU changed the scoring system to scew over one person and show him the door cause he got bigger than the sport itself?

Now I thought maybe Beijing could be that competition where people finally acknowledge the fact that there has never been anyone, who was better but of course the man has to have the most bad luck a person can possibly have at a competition. But you know what? I honestly think had there been another outcome, it wouldn't have changed anything, cause it's just never enough, no matter what he does.

It will always be "He may be one of the greatest" or at most "He is one of the greatest". No, you know what, if you take all the biased bullsh*t and subjectivity out of the discussion and look strictly at what he has accomplished? He IS the greatest of all time.

Now I don't even know why I wrote this about someone doesn't know I exist and that I obviously don't know, but I've been following Yuzu's career since I was 14 (and he was 16) and figure skating has always been "my thing" since even before that. So even though it's stupid I just needed to get this of my chest and for some reason I feel better now even if it doesn't really matter🤣 (and I'm pretty sure Yuzu's a lot more hung up on that damn 4A than all of this, but I can't help it)

So, I don't have an answer to my original question, but maybe someone else would like to enlighten me or has some other comment?😅
