#ME? DEFENDING POLIN? i know just like!!!! you are purposefully misunderstanding

[lizzibennet]

the way people seem to be purposefully misunderstanding the addition of two (2) scenes in which colin is having a threesome like. he’s traveled all around the world in order to find himself and maybe it worked but not to extent he’d hoped for. he comes back and then plays the part society expects of him - rakish rogue - because he thinks that will help him feel fulfilled. and in that sense, what could be more “manly” than getting with two women at once? juxtaposing that first scene with the second in ep 4, it’s so clear that we’re meant to understand the reasons why he goes there are fickle and not what he truly wants. that’s why he’s so desperate to go after penelope!!! when he understands what he values and what about him is truly worthy he immediately wants to go after her because after all he’s always valued her even when he couldn’t see it. he went everywhere else literally to find his meaning at home, literally - within himself and with the person he’s always been closest to. “he was at the brothel” is not the gotcha you think it is!!!
