ranking colin and penelope scenes from bridgerton S3 

I think you should’ve brought up the meeting in the market because that’s where you learn how they first met each other and it was really cute story.

There was a few scenes that I actually felt like they were important even if they weren’t in the same room together. (Not in any particular order) 1. The dream of Penelope (because this was his dream, the words she said was almost like this was what he wanted her to say back to him in real life) 2. Benedict teasing Colin that he slept in late and him being super uncomfortable 3. When they met in the market and she said she was unteachable. When she said she had to leave because she didn’t want anyone to notice: he smiled there, as if to say “so what if someone sees.” 4. The second brothel scene: him not being about to be a participant. Even his response with “fine” and then completely looking away. 5. The scene where he is talking with the guys at the gentlemen’s club about how intimacy should be desirable over being a rake. 6. When Eloise tells him she spoke with Penelope and he asked “oh what did she say?” As if he was curious if she wanted to change the not seeing each other arrangement. 7. Him asking the guys about Lord Debly at the ballon fair. And him watching Pen from afar that entire time. Even when he saved her, and instead of wanting praise from the other women, he was looking to her for her praise. 8. The interaction Pen had after the hand cutting scene where he prompted her to talk to the viscount and his horse has died. He was staring at the interaction but also showing concern that maybe the viscount said something untoward to her. And then them laughing later about it. 9. When he and Eloise got out the carriage and she noticed he was mentally distant. 10. After he got back from the gentlemen’s club, stumbling in his room, emotionally drained and tortured about Pen. 11. His interaction with his mom on the stairs and she basically encouraged him to go to the ball because she mentioned Pen’s upcoming proposal. He couldn’t even try to pretend that news didn’t rock him 12. Him in his study thinking about Pen before deciding to come to the ball to stop her proposal. 13. Him re-reading his journal and thinking about what Pen said about his writing. Wondering what her thoughts were, what she thought of him, maybe. These are micro scenes that helped develop the character and ambiance of how he felt about her. How at first he was completely fine with being flirtatious and cavalier but immediately after Pen rejected him more or less after their first encounter, the facade started to fall. You could tell he was slowing going back to his old self. Showing concern after Cresida ripped Pen’s dress and the guys he was talking to could care less about her well being. Especially during that time where a woman shouldn’t have been alone unchaperoned. But in the same sentiments: there was so many opportunities where he was alone with her and didn’t think twice about it. I’m on a tangent. Lol. Last thing: I find it interesting that there’s two love stories here. Colin falling for Pen and Pen always being in love with him but putting her feelings aside for the greater good. When Colin confessed, his words weren’t based on her feelings, but his. He actually has no idea if she felt the same way or if it was something that recently surfaced. In his eyes: this is probably something “new” for the both of them. When Pen confronted him about what she heard, she didn’t tell him that she was offended because she had been in love with him, but merely he hurt her as her friend. Never once did she let on that she felt deep romantic feelings towards him. His confession was merely his discovery of his feelings for her; him realizing that he didn’t like not hearing from her all summer, that she wasn’t at his disposal because of the strained relationship between Pen and El, that she put a stop to their lessons and kept their distance, that another man was vying for her affections. All of this realization was because he fell for her, as a woman, as a friend, and now a potential lover. Pen reciprocating his feelings wasn’t a full confession of how she’s loved him all these years. So I feel like a second love confession is in the future. I also think we need to hear Colin confess WHY he’s in love with her. Because it wasn’t ONLY because of the kiss. The kiss propelled his thinking, but the distance is what broke him essentially

Thank God for this video!!! Did you notice Violet in the back when Colin was trying to ask the question??? Chefs kiss.

Your enthusiasm is infectious, this was fun! i love your list, and i'd probably add the moment the two of them giggle together at the moonlight ball over a horse pun - its just so them 😀

My fave scenes 1) the carriage scene ( everything about it was perfect. But I really love the shift from the books where Colin is the one to say “can’t the driver just keep going” and they start laughing 2) the first kiss 3) when they laugh about the Lords horse that died. It was so endearing to see them both being silly & giggling 4) Colin’s dream about Penelope 5) the scene where Colin cuts his hand. (The tension, the way he looked at her. But also the fact he curled his fingers to hold her hand)

The first kiss is perfect to me I love it

Im giggling kicking my feet while watching😂❤

Love your excitement. I do think the carriage scene is my favorite.

I am SO glad to see someone else get as bonkers as I did watching this. I warned my husband and my son that if they heard me squealing, it was not a health emergency. As much as I loved the carriage scene, the points where you really saw the friendship just felt so good to me. Debling had potential but I would have liked to have seen Pen spend some more time with the chap in the wheelchair. Do you think that Debling will end up with Cressida?

I think the first kiss is my favourite. It’s beautifully acted, lit, shot and the score is perfect. I don’t agree though that she knew by getting him to kiss her it’d cause him to start feeling things. I think the whole point is she doesn’t think he cares or ever will for her that way and now she’s effectively undesirable she sees it as her first and last kiss. For her it feels really sad even though it’s beautiful.

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I don’t know if words can convey the depth of how they hurt me with Colin. From the moment I heard that they were going to turn Colin into a rake I knew that they ruined him. And ruined the entire story 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (Colin had been taught, all his young life, that it was his duty as a gentleman to protect, care for, and defend the fairer sex.) Colin declaring that he is a true gentleman in season 1. [Means] As a gentlemen he considered himself worthy of veneration due to earn respect not handed it on a silver platter, his unearned entitlement had never warped his sense of moral conscience. He does not see women as decorative object or a prize to be won. 🥇 This is why Penelope loves him. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ I honestly won’t ever forgive the writers for ruining the character. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 When they took Colins, sweet innocence and naivety. They took something special from him. Because the way that Penelope loves, Colin is so innocent 😇 and pure. Having Violet do a scene saying how sensitive and different. Colin is. Doesn’t salvage the damage that they’ve done. You know what they could’ve done and said they could’ve showed us that he was this person. Instead of breaking the number one ☝️ visual media rule show and tell, don’t just tell. 🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏Colins desire to travel 🧳 is not to Rake across the continent 🌏having sex escapades, to fetishize it into his journal 📔 he travels for beauty for adventure architecture, culture and history because he’s a nerd 🧐 just like Penelope. The fact is, Colin was a different character. He was set up to be a different character. (TVShow Colin) why couldn’t he be the sweet Hufflepuff🦡. Foodie 🍰who seek purpose and greater meaning with his life with intimacy? 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞 Imagine if he’d come back as hot, sturdy Colin but still had his puppy 🐶 energy. Had all the ladies swooning over him but he doesn’t pay any attention because he’s focused on Pen’s lessons. Then he notices all the attention he’s getting because there’s one person who he’s not getting attention from anymore because the lessons work. When I think 🤔 on it, a few more things bother me about the plot. 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 1. Pen doesn’t write Colin back during his travels. Why didn’t that bother him? Because if he had feelings all along (I think he did and S2 had us believing he did) then he should have been increasingly unhinged by not hearing back from her. And worried about her. 2. This is a man who pledged to take care of her in season 2. Where is he? Instead he just goes off to be a slut in 17 cities? And doesn’t give two shits about a friend not writing him back? Just goes and fucks some more sex workers and Countesses? Let me write about it in my journals too! 3. His apology was glib and unworthy of Penelope and their friendship. They made it about Penelope thinking she is unworthy not Colin being a drunk ass and insulting her to eligible bachelors/her chances on the marriage mart. laughing 😆with men at Penelope’s expense. 4.Colin comes back does the same whoring about the entire time he is teaching Penelope lessons (for weeks apparently) and then kisses her because he feels sorry for her. Ugh that is so gross to me. 5.Then because he is supposedly so despondent over Pen having a suitor, he goes back to fuck some sex workers again. 6.He only gets up enough courage to tell Penelope how he feels once he knows she is getting proposed to. Like he couldn’t call on her, not even once, or bribe her maid again, to see her and explain how he feels. Instead it’s poor me me me me…. I keep asking myself why I should want ShondaColin with Penelope. She deserves sooo much better than him. Ugh… 😣 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦 The worst part is Lord Debling by comparison, a truly secure man 🧍‍♂️ who stands for his own conviction. Who is truly his own unapology self no matter. How society snares at him. And think him odd. He is who he wants to be. You can actually respect him. And admire him. For a man who stands on his own conviction. That’s truly a man. 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 It would’ve been just as spicy 🥵 repressed newly discovering virgins. There is such a thing as horny virgins. The excited exploration. The cute hilarious awkwardness. The wonder of a whole New World unlocked Wasted potential. The fanfic did it better. First awakenings are extremely sexy. And there’s so much more special. 🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️ if the two teens in blue Lagoon could figure it out on the deserted island. 🏝️ there’s no reason why Colin and Penelope can’t figure it out especially since Colin has the knowledge of the logistics of how it works. The friends to lover audience. Are deeply romantic we don’t want frivolous fucking. This was supposed to be our season. We were robbed of something beautiful 😍 I specifically only wanted him to be a whore for Penelope. Only Rabbid for Penelope. I wanted her to be his first kiss and first time, especially since we were getting a secondhand proposal. now she gets no first and everything is secondhanded and a hand me down. Because Penelope and Colin are sentimental writers ✍🏻 who document every monumental event in their life’s. We as the romantic fan base were expecting The friends to lover❤️Trope. To be more intimate. A story where Colin and Penelope have their first awakening together. I was hoping that the show would give me an improved version of Odysseus. as Colin. I didn’t like Greek myth Odysseus. I didn’t think he deserved Penelope. I wanted virgin demisexual Colins so bad and I was so pissed when I heard that we weren’t getting him for the TV show. I thought he would be our first demisexual representation, but NO we got another rake.
(very original). It’s not like we got that with the past two Male leads, and we’re also getting that with the future male leads. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 The disgusting mentality of a Rake an insecure man who uses women and their bodies as less so they can feel like more. Throwing money at systematically oppressed women for cheap thrills, isn’t sexy it’s not romantic. Only for his soulmate to change him. They didn’t have to make him a Rake to tell the same story of insecurity. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ I had no problem with him being a Showboat, who is charming with a false public image. Him being a virgin erotic writer. Would show that Colin has dichotomy and layers to him like Penelope who is whistledown and people think she’s more mature or older than she is. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 Why keep telling the same story about a rake. Who’s raking away his problems until. The soulmate changes him. The story had so much potential and they could’ve done it better without the Rake plot. The friends to lover. Trope. Is for the deeply romantic. 🥰 it’s the innocence of love. ❤️ they alienated Colin for his fan base. When they made him into a wannabe Casanova. They could easily made him a fake Casanova who’s just lying 🤥 to fit in. That would’ve been something different. It would’ve made him more endearing and intriguing instead of another. Man Whore

Lol, I have been noticing my best male friend in a different light and I need to stop lol
