First Time Watching *BRIDGERTON S3x02* We Get The First KISS ! 

It’s so tough in the discourse because you can’t even mention media literacy to people like that or mention that they need to be a little more attentive in comprehending the covert and overt character moments. I get media literacy has become a buzz word and is used in a smug ‘catch all’ way, and people can think what they want about media and subjectively feel how they like. But you can just tell there’s some opinions formed with bias, projection and mean spiritedness this season, more than I’ve seen vs previous seasons. Meanwhile, this season I’ve objectively appreciated the shift of tone the most. I know Bridgerton tonally stays pretty lighthearted and bright, but the themes they are trying to tie in with Colin’s people pleasing, mirroring and hyper sexual behaviour because of normalized male rite of passage is interesting. If I had a critique on Bridgerton in general is I wish the run time was longer so we can Dig even deeper into that stuff and have more time for flashback and character centred episodes. I’ve enjoyed the plot beats they’ve chosen and so far this season feels the most rewatchable.

@@surette2012 Media literacy is an expanded conceptualization of literacy that includes the ability to access and analyze media messages as well as create, reflect and take action, using the power of information and communication to make a difference in the world. People not liking how Colin is written doesn’t mean that they lack media literacy

​@@surette2012 media literacy doesn't mean what you think it means 💀😂

@@kc87557 No, I know. It can just be applied to different text, though. I’ve actually had this conversation before and tried to correct someone using it, and we had a cool back and fourth about it and researched a bit. Fiction doesn’t exist in a vacuum and the definition of media literacy is kind of an umbrella term for the idea of approaching a text in more than just a superficial way in media. Understanding intention and being aware of your bias and honing contextual understanding. Having all that in order to also create media. Coined for irl media, news, journalism, digital aged misinformation and propaganda, I believe. There was a Big focus especially after ww2 and recent technological developments. Bare bones it’s just being able to analyze media messages. But the concept can be introduced into fiction analysis and interacting with a work on a deeper levels. Because fiction and reality intertwine. All points of media literacy are equally relevant to fiction. I think with Colin it’s not trying to attack people subjectively not liking him, but the reaction of people that genuinely believe he’s a rake or changed and didn’t pick up the contextual clues. It’s not that deep, though. Hence why I avoid saying media literacy for this reason lol. At this point it’s easier to shave off the ‘media’ of the term and just say literacy and comprehension in fiction because semantics are killing us.

@@Pillowlips77 aw condescending and cute with it 🤭❤️

I was also recently thinking about the effect of Penelope not responding to his letters in how he's approaching the season this year; with his masquerade continental 'bronze'. After his last trip, the person he felt he really got to know what's himself. But that's when Pen's words, Pen's vision of who he is in his head. Through her words. He had to direct himself this time, and spun around in a circle a little bit. They both needed that time not speaking to come to the place that they are in this season; which is important

Which I think is beautiful. Particularly to the theme of the season.

This season was beautiful

Friends to lovers is my favorite troupe. And I agree they did the kiss well

I just have a thing about deeply analysing characters actions and thought process . After that guessing 80-90% of things is kind of easy

Just had to look at the first and second season . It was kind of obvious, to quick for a character change

@@IAmSeanThompson Well, you’d be surprised how many people who have watched the previous seasons were super confused as to why he’s acting so out of character this season. To me is very clear he’s trying to act more like his brothers (like sleep around) because he feels like that’s what is expected of him, and not because that’s actually what he wants to do. But apparently that’s not so obvious to a lot of people.

I like the show but it’s pretty obvious. The only think difficult to guess is how and when Penelope will get caught .

Episode 4 last 5 minutes is crazy !

😂 but you called it in the reaction to ep 3, that it would be crazy! Excited

I thought it to, Anthony did number on us with his sniffing 😂
