They did NOT oversell the carriage scene. I have not ever rewatched a single scene in Bridgerton as much as I have rewatched this scene and perhaps in any media š
Nic and Luke were not kidding. They gave it their all and I hope they know what a great job they did with their characters
š š š
Netflix looking at the data wondering why 3 minutes of episode 4 were rewound so many times.
Friend that scene was NOT 3 minutes. Felt like hours actually.Ā
Wait this made me realize I might be the only one rewinding all the way back to his pathetic pleading because him being a loser is part of the sexiness of the scene for meā¦
This speech was so good, and itās not even his love confession.
I've been calling it his obsession confession
The whole are you ganna marry me or what cracked me up
I'm hoping she "hits the pavement" in reaction in the opening of the second half like in the book lol
Omg Iāve found my peopleā¦Iāve watched the last 15 minutes so many timesā¦way more than any of the other scenes quite frankly
āDonāt say things you donāt mean..ā
Same, but I definitely skip past the unnecessary little Francesca and Benedict scenes.
I have to watch Francesca because I spend all my time just saying out loud "How is anyone that perfect looking?!?"
But that's for flavor! We don't just eat pure plot without seasoning, do we?
Me too!
I love how earnest he came across swoon
NO LITERALLY, MEN BEING PATHETIC FOR THEIR WIVES IS MY FAV GENRE
FUCKING SAME
Iāve been trying to figure out why I am obsessed with S2 and S3 and I think this is part of it haha
I SECOND THIS!!!!
Yesss, itās my weakness
The way that Pen goes "What?" When he says "what if I did have feelings for you?"
Is one of my favorite parts
Did it make you cry? I was balling and honestly, I never realized how much I wanted a couple to get together more than this season! You canāt help but root for them! He comes back from traveling and now he can show Pen what a real man is ((wink wink)) š
I was pretty teary which completely caught me off guard because I don't usually cry.
I'm so excited to get more of them. And yep at least the guy knows what he's doing haha. I hope they kept the part where they broke furniture.
The "love you like a sister" sad girl teenager in me honestly teared up a bit, lol. I probably haven't even thought about the guy who said it to me in 15 years, but apparently the melodrama is perennial, lol.
I always rewind to him shouting at the carriage
There's a clip without bgm on Twitter, though that starts when they kiss
I have the āWait!ā time stamp memorizedā¦
Let me in he says. Later he waits for the fingering nod. Asks her to come home with him. Just like Dracula has to be invited in. He sure is asking a lot for permission š¤£š¤£
Yeah the full scene is like 10 minutes but the part with pitull is like 3 minutes.
Yeah that scene starts for me when he gets on his kneesā¦
My heart pounded so hard when he got on his knees, this doesn't usually happen to me haha.
My husband, who doesn't like period romance, but knows it is my guilty pleasure/time killer choice for reading, who was kindly letting me take over the TV to binge Bridgerton.... Was screaming and practically jumping up and down cheering.
For me, that scene starts when he asks to let him inā¦.
No, I watch the whole thing too. His confession is the build up and just adds to the passion of it all.
I thought the pleading was adorable.
Guilty...even just to study Colin's face to see if the haters are right.....they're not. He plays it perfectly.
I think that it is very much more from Penelope's perspective than Colins. You see a lot of his hands groping and kissing profile but not a lot of close ups on his face.
When she strokes his hair and he smiles with both the pleasure of true intimacy and a desperate desire for someone...I thought....I have seen guys pull that face before during a steamy session.
What I loved most about that hair brushing scene is that it was something she had clearly been waiting to do for years. The nervousness of doing something she'd dreamed about for so long got me
Yes! I totally reminds me of Lane from Gilmore Girls when she has that crush on a boy because of his hair. But in like total redemption because Penelope got it GOING ON.
OMG yes!! Although pen was more like she couldn't believe it was really happening. I love how still he was while she did that, he knew she was scared
Yes exactly, I feel like haters are just going to hate. I've read so many comments online of people saying there's no chemistry the acting was bad etc etc but I'm like what four episodes did you watchš who cares let them hate. I feel sorry for the people who clearly didn't have an almost heart attack at that carriage sceneš
Dude, they know.
No joke, can they see that?š³
It would be last 5 minutes of season 1 episode 5. Then beginning of episode 6 as well
Then season 2 episode 7
They absolutely can, and if theyāre smart theyāll do a ton of marketing around sharing those numbers šĀ
Right there with you on season 1 episode 5 šlol
Netflix is looking at my account like š¤Ø
Reminds me of this
āMillions of Bridgerton viewers watching particular timestamps repeatedlyā will be a headline š
I assume the person plays it fall asleepā¦361 days out of the year
Omg šššš they really are watching us
Lol I was thinking that as I continued to rewind like...are they clocking this š
LOL. I lost count of how many times I've watched it. And I still gasp when he says what if I did have feelings for you? I'm like what????? And then when she touches her hair, I can't. They ate.
And this isnāt even the scene where they went and broke furniture
Oh, they KNOW.
Definitely š¤£š¤£š¤£
I told my sister that if this were on vhs, the tape woulda broken there from being rewatched so much lol
Oh Iām sure they know
I think it`s the best Bridgerton steamy scene to date. It feels so natural,not overacted nor overdone. That chemistry was STRONG and there was no need for words,just looks. It was so good,I must`ve rewatched it at least a hundred times.
There was just this comfort and intimacy that made it feel really special.
That's what I loved. As someone that married their best friend that felt so familiar to us, because that transition to things being sexy is so much easier and different because you already know the other person so well and they made it feel believable.
Yessssss. Everything about the scene was elevated to a whole other level because of the emotion of it. In the other seasons, the first big sex scene always felt more about lust rather than love. This one had SO much intimacy, trust and love that heightened the whole thing.
This is the only one that had 3 seasons of build up. I think thatās why viewers are emotionally connecting more with this.
I didnāt really feel it honestly, everybodyās saying that the pining and the longing made it better but what Iāve seen so far is Penelope wanting him while he didnāt even glance at her and to me thatās not cute. The only buildup there was was of her sexual frustration, if anything.
No you're missing a major part then! It's made quite clear he doesn't enjoy having sex or even kissing with anyone he isn't emotionally connected to. So him even wanting her was a love confession in itself. He specifically has said he thinks sex should be meaningful.
Yeah I just finished and donāt get these comments. His turnaround just wasnāt very believable. I donāt think they gave it enough time.
Absolutely agree and I was a huge fan of Kanthony scenes but this was something else. The actors and director did some crazy work here
I thought how reserved and softly spoken he was through his obsession confession was so Colin.
It's the most romantic steamy scene in the series for me
So far! Excited for part 2
The little head shake she does to give him permission is my current obsession.
The way he watched her the whole time š¤Æ
So many shots of him just watching her come apart. Heās conflicted over whether to watch her or kiss her. And then the lip bite while sheās moaning.
I have watched this a few times but evidently not enough š
Uh oh... guess we have to rewatch it again.
How did I miss that? Time stamp please š
The lip bite? Here is the shot https://x.com/sydglenx/status/1791155247110582508?s=46Ā
Omg can you warn us that thereās sound!? Sitting next to my mum lol
The way I rushed to turn my volume down š but Iām the mum in my situation š
My mum is on the couch, my toddler is on the floor playing with hubby lol. The trifecta of awkward š¤£
You are a hero for that link
Ugh the lip bite was crazy
I didn't catch it till someone on Twitter pointed it out
Her eyes are really beautiful in that moment.
My obsession is the serious look he gives her and little mouth twitch after they stop, and she says she wasn't really paying attention to anything. Right there is where he realized he was gonna wife her.
I am pathetic I have watched that part many times but really the face acting by Luke here was brilliant. There's a literal "his eyes darkened" moment there when he decides to make her his wife. It was just š
Yes!!! You can see it in his eyes almost instantly.
That was very nice
I feel like the whole show is great on consent. Simon telling daphne "I should like to show you more" was peak gentleman.
Ehhhh I wouldnāt use Simon and Daphne as a pillar of consent lol
Lmao except when daphne grabbed simon so heād come in her..
Eh on Simon and Daphne but Anthony and Kate and his āI will not!ā and such was so good.
Yep. The way the pace slowed after the kissing for them to go even further, a the nod of consent was also showing how much Pen trusts himā¦ This scene was just absolutely packed with emotion as well as being sexy, itās far and away my favourite of all the seasons. Iām absolutely obsessed lol
The asking for consent from Colin really shows how much he cares for her and respects her. It totally elevates all of it.
Exactly, the scene is so much more powerful because itās not just lust and passion, but love, trust and vulnerability. Itās obviously āwrongā that they are kissing and more without being married, but there is such sweet trust in the scene. Itās so emotionally charged!
So the fact they stopped, having time to rethink what they are doing, but both deciding together to go even further because they just canāt resist is SO much better!
And then the whole thing is even better again because it ends so abruptly, with jokes and giggling because they are both absolutely high with excitement. But so comfortable together- exactly showing best friends as well as lovers.
The. Perfect. Scene.
The carriage scene was wonderfully done it is my favorite scene. The way Colin asked, if the carriage driver could not keep on driving, was so sincere it is like he not acting. The fixing of the dress was an exclamation point on the carriage scene.
The dress fixing excluding those two fingers just grounded the whole scene and gave it a touch of realism Hollywood usually lacks in scenes like this
It was a genius move on Luke's part
And his delivery of those last few lines starting from "Oh God" are so endearing
I swear, the part when they laugh together feels so genuine and unscripted. It's just like how they giggle in all of their press interviews.
They appear so comfortable together. They really brought the electricity and friendship. The casting director for Bridgerton is doing a fabulous job.
And kudos to Luke and Nic. They really did a good job conveying the chemistry effortlessly
I wonder if they were giggling because they were told to stop earlier but didn't realize and kept going
It does feel like a genuine laugh but who knows. Regardless, both are clearly skilled actors that were committed to making the best adaption and I hope they get their flowers š
It is all magnificent. I was feeling disappointed watching this season, but that scene put a smile on my face. I hope the second half has more of Colin and Penelope.
This this this šÆ
Y'all know this scene in......... intimate detail.
Honestly, you miss a lot but people on Twitter point out all these little details and make it even better š
i loved him making that comment! it felt so natural and it showed how comfortable intimacy can be!!
and then you see the wheels start turning in his head and he knows what he wants to do!! itās so well acted itās hard not to believe luke is actually colin!!
That is a great point his face really changed as he decides what to do. His acting after the kisses blows me away. Now, I want him as a leading man in a bunch of romance series or movies.
For me the music was a huge part of it too. It fit the scene so well and it was so beautiful. Iām putting the orchestral rendition of that song on my liked playlist and Iāll forever think of Polin when I listen to it
Oh yeah, the music gets my blood flowing. I am definitely adding it to my playlist.
Controversial opinion, but I think breaking the season here and the viral nature of that scene is going to drive viewership through the ROOF come part 2. We may all hate it, but from a business perspective, it makes total sense. The internet has flipped out over it.
I thought the same. Being just four episodes, it feels way easier to rewatch multiple times before its release, too
I'm greatful because I stayed up and I got to go to sleep at 4 in the morning instead of leaving for work at 8 with no sleep. Lol
I would have much rather they did an episode a week tho. Give every episode time to be talked about. Everyone cares about epsiode 4 now. And the other episodes fall to the wayside.
Yes, same and there are so many other non Polin scenes to ruminate over and discuss!!!
Week to week is the best way to enjoy. The Fandom is usually so alive every week and you get to pay attention to all the little things each week. Instead of just highlights. It's way more fun.
I have totally been saying this! Itās the slowburn, I think itās mimicking their relationship, the longing for more then the sudden change, theyāve drip fed us polin scenes for the first 4 eps that I think weāre gonna get a flood in part 2 and I literally cannot wait!
I think Part 2 is going to ratchet up the steam 8 kinds of ways, Heaven help
Oh lord I do hope so. Iām simultaneously so ready and so not ready for that.
We will all melt and combust, somehow
I agree, Netflix knows this split season works for their numbers, they wouldn't do it if not. I choose to see it as a good sign that they'll keep making seasons.
This was the hottest thing I have ever seen in Bridgerton
You know what I love about this moment, is that every woman who's had a huge desperate crush on someone in their teens / early twenties is in Pen's head at this moment. Where she's fantasised about this so much and now part of her brain is just taking a second to register like 'oh my god this is really happening, Colin Bridgerton is touching my breast...'Ā
Most of us were not lucky enough to actually experience this moment. But we get to live vicariously through Pen!Ā
I actually experienced this with my highschool crush, which I (and him, but I didn't know at that time) had for about 4 years. I thought we never can be together, that I don't have a chance, he was just perfect and me? Not enough for him. I was dreaming about us being in ours 40s and maybe getting together when we are older, I thought someday we might be together if not now... I was madly in love with him and we became really good friends, I was constantly thinking about something 'more' and visualizing it all the time.. and then it happend, he told me he loves me and think about me all the time, he couldn't keep it any longer and I honestly couldn't believe it, it was like I was dreaming. And now after 5 years of being together we are getting married this year and Colin and Penelope just reminds me of us, of these memories I have and how we were crazy about each other and still are, my biggest dream came true and I still sometimes think about it and couldn't believe it...š„°ā¤ļø so this season hold really special place in my heart š
I was also here for a tig ol bitties moment like this.
This whole mini-season had me wondering how Colin slept on Penelope for so long without noticing that she grew up
Also the one bit where sheās having an orgasm and itās a bit further away/more view of them and her eyes open wide was chefs kiss
When they say a manās hands are the sexist part of the bodyā¦ this is why.
I got a youtube short of Colin bridgerton pulling up pen's skirts and I'm embarrassed to share that I watched that ATLEAST 10 times
Excuse me! Thatās the hottest scene ever put on any media! Iāll fight anyone on this.
RIGHT
Something I havenāt seen mentioned, but what really made meā¦ you knowā¦
He slides his hand down her body, under her dress, hand on her outer leg.
Then she nods.
And he moves his hand to her inner leg.
Just that switch made me blush!
The respect and consent in this scene was so refreshing without detracting from how hot it was.
It actually hugely added to it in my opinion. Because we know that it is SO taboo to even kiss before marriage in that world. So prolonging the moment and drawing an extra line between how theyāre already breaking the rules kissing, and how extra āforbiddenā it is to go even further just increased how sexy it was. So Pen nodding her consent was also both of them saying āAre we really going this far? fuck it, canāt resistā. And they didnāt even go all the way!
Iām absolutely obsessed lol
something that sticks out to me, it always icks me out in scenes where someones fingers have supposedly been inside someone and then they are just touching everything afterward, but he held two fingers seperate when fixing the shoulder of her dress.
Ok coz they are gonna go inside and announce to his family and Iām sure thereās gonna be hugging and hand shaking and what tf is he gon do with that hand ?!?!
Yeah but thatās not a detail they consider in a lot of movies and shows so I thought it was awesome
Agreed . I lost my shit when I saw it and Iām so glad so many people are on the same wavelength
Agreed. I watched it 4 times. That scene gave me the literal chills and butterflies all at the same time.
There were so many hot moments but just as many sweet moments as well which is what you want with friends to lovers. Iām going crazy over the fact that the director confirmed it was Luke Nās decision to fix her dress only using certain fingers.
I just saw that
He deserves so much more credit! I love how he played Colin this season. And the delivery of "Are you coming with me" was so good š«
Omg same! Just reading the comments here makes me feel that way too!!!
how many times I've rewatched that scene? Possibly around 20 times now
Omg same like I have never been this obsessed
I finally let it go and then someone uploaded a clip of it without the bgm and it's š³
Omgggggg lollll where is this clip??? Asking for me of courseš„µ.
I think itās this one! https://www.tumblr.com/gifcity/750670885114019840/i-removed-the-song-from-the-carriage-scene-because
Thankyouuuuuuu!šš
Pleasure!
I donāt think the pleasure is just yours! Lolll damn Nicola!!
Hahaha have been watching the scene on repeat since it landed lol. I love them so much. Hope this account does a no music version of the other spicy scenes in Part 2! š„µ
That is anlot more breathing than I remember. No way the driver couldnāt hear that right?
Holy crap. That is...wow.Ā
I made my husband rewatch it with me so he could take notes š he was like āhow many times did you watch this?!ā
Please I lost count after 20 š itās embarrassing how much Iāve been watching it
I just love the classic version of Give Me Everything Tonight. I was listening to that when I was fixing some food for dinner.Ā
I burst out laughing when I realised it was that song. It fits perfectly ill admit. However that song just takes me straight back to when I was 16, at my boyfriend's formal, where he acted most I'll-bred, then dumped my ass the next day. Just like a regency ball haha!
Another commenter somewhere else said āWell, Colin IS Mr. Worldwideā¦ā š¤£š¤£š¤£
Thatās what I kept hearing in my head the whole time hahaha loved the scene though, they have so much chemistry!
The way I've seen GIFs of moments over and over. Him fixing her dress with specific fingers is such a good detail ahhhh
Oh Jesus, I didnāt event notice i canāt breathe
Have you seen the Gif, and this was the actor who decided that! The Director confirmed it on Twitter š
This, that really made the scene so much hotter for me.
Agreed 10/10 Thank goodness for Luke
Itās an amazing scene. I love Colinās confession, and itās delivered while heās literally on his knees in front of her, classic romance. And the humor! When he looks around and utters the stupefied āoh godā because the carriage stopped moving, I burst out laughing.Ā
Nic and Luke killed it! I think they can be very proud of the work and care they put into the scene. I think it shows.Ā
Yes! The āoh godā actually managed to elevate the scene even further, because it felt so real and sweet. In most of the other sex scenes in S1&2, things just kind of go perfectly well the whole way through and itās very serious.
The fact they were interrupted and shocked because they were both lost in the moment, followed by a sweet giggly moment was SO much more intimate to me. 10/10, best scene of Bridgerton so far- the sexiest, the sweetest, the most emotionally charged. It was everything
I really hope they get their flowers, they were incredible
I love the carriage scene. But the moment that really gets me is the super soft, closed mouth kiss afterwards.
Why does that small moment make me so giddy?
Same. Because itās the first Proper Polin Tender Both are In Love kiss.
For me that's part of it lol
Everything from him shouting at the carriage to his proposal at the end
As pitbull would sayā¦ DALE
LMAO
The way I was straight up bawling watching it the first time
I was in a busy airport terminal watching it, and was laughing and crying. I must have looked nuts.
Same. I was legitimately sobbing the first watch through. Even with the many rewatches I've already done.. I still get a little teary eyed now. Hehe. Though mostly I just kick my feet and giggle-squeal at this point.
Luke and Nicola did a great job, I feel like the viewers can wholeheartedly agree on that. This is what happens when the actors respect the original source and their audience
I've also never been so consumed by one scene ever before š„¹š© (help but also don't lol)
The consent aspect of this scene and Colin's focus on Penelope feeling comfortable and good was CHEF'S KISS. Luke's portrayal of Colin was so realistic and so sweet - MY GOD.
There was a tenderness and tentativeness to it that I canāt get over š very sweet and intimate moment of discovering each other 10/10
Also small but I love how when Colin thinks Pen is turning him down, heās immediately like Iām so sorry and respectful. Like the bar is in hell but it was so refreshing to just see him be like okay if youāre not into it I respect that despite the fact that I made this huge romantic speech just now while literally on my knees. š¤Ŗ
The fact that he was actually going to sit back down and sit in silence the rest of the carriage ride if she said no. He's so sweetš«
The moment she raised her hand and smoothed his hair, just like in the book... oh my!
The look on his faceā¦ I canāt get over it!
I was THRILLED that they kept this moment in and honestly his reaction to it is one of the hottest parts of the scene imo
It was perfection. Totally worth the 2 year wait
Honestly, the dream scene too id literally just replay the part where penelope is moaning his nameš¤(im straight)
Ngl I was wishing he'd reference an erection in some way. Maybe look down at 'it' while he sat up. Or try to make it go down when it won't before getting out of the bed. Or maybe when he changes clothes hes looking at the wetness on the trouser pants idek. Hell, even putting the pillow there and then falling back on the bed like 'wth is happening to me'.
I don't think they needed to do that he woke up sweaty and gasping we all know it was there.
Do you reckon this was the scene on the soundstage where they didn't hear them calling 'cut' for ages and the director was like "what are they doing?? Staaaap!"
Or is that an even steamier one we have yet to see?
They really didn't oversell it. I said the other day I felt like their steamy scenes would be the kind where you feel like you're intruding because it's SO intimate and I was right. This was SO hot and passionate and the laugh and soft little kiss afterwards just elevated it to something else. I have rewatched a hundred times already and I don't even think I'm exaggerating.
I really liked this scene. Tenderness and passion intertwined - well done to the actors. I also noticed that the trailer to the second part has her standing at one point, clearly in the process of being seduced, and Iām wondering (okay, hoping) that it might be the mirror scene. I know thatās only a fantasy thing in the book but it would be awesome as theyāve really showcased Penās poor self-esteem this season. Hereās to hoping!
It just makes me so happy. I have been waiting years for Colin to look at Pen like that. Heās so handsome and sheās so beautiful and they are so cute together and Iām smiling even writing this. š¤
Enemies to lovers used to be my favorite but now I am endeared towards friends to lovers for sure
I don't understand people who are pitting the ships against each other. Romance has many enjoyable tropes
How many times have I watched that scene? Yes.
Thank you for posting something positive. Iāve gone into the feeds this weekend and there were so many negative posts. I love this story so far and I canāt wait for more.
My friend showed me a post on facebook of the screencap of an alternate take. Looks like they edited it down in the final which is a shame because it was 10000x hotter
This scene had me on FIRE š„µš„µ
That scene had me panting and fanning myself. That was the hottest scene in Brdgerton...Simon x Daphne go home.
GUYS AND THE LAST LINE - I melted
His delivery was so sweet; perfection š
Just wait till the mirror scene.....
Iāve watched it so many times itās embarrassing
Loved, loved, loved the monologue so much! Luke Newtonās voice is so soft š
It was so hot.
It was such a great scene, but then when I read an interview where Nicola discussed getting naked on the show ā¦ I canāt wait for part II.
Colin said hereās my hand in marriage now may I have yours š®āšØ
IM SO UPSET ITS OVER THIS SEASON HAS BEEN SO GOOD!
(June feels 5,000,000 years away)
