I loved the intimate scene. It was so beautifully done. Not gratuitous or exploitative, but respectful and tender and very real. And Colin standing up to her mother is such a great scene. Nicola didn’t actually get a PG version for her family, she was wrong about getting that and in fact her family watched this episode in a cinema! I’ve read the book and the mirror scene doesn’t actually happen. It’s something her says he’d like them to do, but they don’t do it, so the show decided to include it.
Really? I haven’t read the series, but assumed from comments on other reactions that the “mirror scene” was pulled from “Polin’s” book 🧐📖😅 EDIT: Apparently, it’s “Polin,” not “Pollin”
@@cometgirl217in the book when they are first intimate he says to her he’d like to see her in a mirror naked, she’s says now, and he says later, but that’s the extent of the mirror’s involvement. So the show took that reference and incorporated it into the first time scene on screen.
Where did you hear that Nicola's parents saw this in the cinema? I'm a Mom from the U.S. and don't think I could've watched my daughter do this scene either. I'm a Catholic to boot. Haha.
Every woman needs a Colin! Mirror scene done so repectfully and gentlty and I loved how Colin asked "May I" before he started to touch her. To me, that is sexy. I don't know what I would do in Cressida's place! I'm so grateful women have better choices today! I have read the books, and Polin's is my favorite. Hyacinth's and Gregory's are 2nd and 3rd for me. I forgot to mention that I like Varley. She is the voice of reason for the Featherington's! I also feel that Pen's maid knows what's going on and is so loyal. She has been a gem!
I loved your reaction and i agree the mirror scene was so gentle and loving between them both he wanted her first time to be special.And loved how Colin told his brothers that hes always had feeling for Pen but was a fool for not knowing what he was feeling
Episode 5 has everything from start to finish. Love, intimacy, and the DRAMA 😂 I love how Colin stands up to Lady Featherington, then proves to Penelope that he can take care of her by taking her to their new home. I LOVED the mirror scene. I wasn't sure how it would translate from the book but it was done well. The intimacy scene was very loving. Then the drama starts with everyone 😂 Lady Featherington and Penelope's sisters are extremely funny this season.
