I also loved that Lord Ledger called Violet beauty and brains as her nicknames. He always started with beauty and followed it up with brains instilling in her that she was beautiful and smart. I love that.
Mmmm…yes! I love that so much! Because her mother could have really done a number on her if her father was there to balance out the crazy! That woman was off her meds for sure! 🤣
@@JoiLouiseReacts Her mother was just....not it. And I love that the father clearly wasn't here for here either with the way he aired her out to Agatha about her intentionally trying to miss her ball until the King said what was up lol. Thank goodness he was there for Violet because she would've turned out like Lady Featherington without him.
@@suprsparx Yes!!!!! I loved the way he aired her out to Agatha! She had no respect for anyone. Even saying Charlotte had no taste in music for taking a liking to Mozart. And the wanna be plastics just following along and agreeing with her. So shallow and stupid.
Lady Featherington is so miserable! Her poor daughters. That mixed with the father appearing to have a gambling and drinking addiction was just too much! Penelope is the only one with any sense and true character! Excited for season 3! CLEARLY! 🤣
@@JoiLouiseReacts He aired her right out immediately. I was gagged. Then he said he liked her and wanted to be friends and I knew instantly what that meant. Especially when he danced with her. Bombastic side eye....... But yeah Lord Ledger's wife was an unapologetic racist and small minded so I knew he wasn't happy anyway. He even had to leave the house at some point every day just to get away from her otherwise he wouldn't have even stumbled across Agatha lmao!
Honestly, I hated Lady Featherington until she chose her daughters over escaping with all the money that the new Lord Featherington had conned out of the families in the Ton. It made me realize that she really was trying to secure Marina a husband to ensure a decent life for her and her baby. It seemed like she was trying to pawn her off at first and sabotage her happiness with the father of her child but she was really trying to take care of the girl. Penelope is my favorite and was even before the reveal and I CANNOT wait to see her and Colin's story in season 3. I think it's the most excited I've been for the series yet.
Omg! Yes, he definitely was immediately drawn to Agatha when they first met. I I ring Herman to the hunts and everything! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! I can’t wait for Colin and Penelope’s story too! So excited for it!
Charlotte asks repeatedly if the King is dead because that would be the worst thing in the world for her. She loves him and aside from all that would go into crowning a new King, she's terrified of the day that he dies because she'll truly feel alone. I noticed that every time she asked, here and in the original series, she always seemed scared of the answer and so relieved to find out he's still alive. Some people think that she's waiting for him to die, but they aren't paying attention because if that's the first thing out of her mouth, it's because it's the worst thing she could think of.
🥺 So sad! He’s literally her only family besides the children. So happy she had Agatha. That’s so horrible to imagine. Awaiting for your worst fear to come true. Thank you for sharing your point of view and more insight into this series. 🙏🏽
I agree. In Season 2 there is a short scene of Charlotte sitting by George's bed watching him sleep. She loves him so much.
@@AnaisKarim I remember that scene and watching it after watching this series makes it all the more real how much love there was and still is between them. It added more nuance to their connection and it made me weep because of how sweet it was.
@@JoiLouiseReacts Thank you for your reaction. It's so much fun watching others absorb this love story because it really does suck you in. I know a lot of people weren't sure whether or not this series was needed, but it absolutely was because the Queen was already one of my favorite characters and now I fully know why.
For sure! 😫
The quickening is when the baby starts to move in the womb!!❤
Thank you, Chenise! I COULD NOT figure that one out! 🤣🤣🤣
@JoiLouiseHall lol no problem!!!!
Now you see why Agatha is so invested in the Brigeton children, she loved Violets father. It's her way of keeping him close that's my take away.
It definitely makes sense
@@couldbahappychic1217 I have always wonder from season 1 and 2 about her involvement. They tied it in nicely.
Mmmm…this is so deep and so true! We love Lord Ledger too! He was a cool dude! 🥰
I feel that same. She has such an affection for them because she loved Lord Ledger and I think that's so pure it hurts.
I’m with you! So many ppl have been shocked that Agatha would befriend Violet but I fully get it. It’s her own labor of love for the man who caused her “garden” to bloom.
The quickening is when you can feel the baby moving around. 🎉
Yes! Thank you for educating me on this! Such a unique term! Well, unique to me as I don’t have children yet. 😅
@@JoiLouiseReacts no worries! I have one kiddo but I remember hearing the old folks talk about it back when I was a kid. It really does sound exotic! But back in those days, tbh that was the only proof a baby was certainly in there alive (they did check the cervix for changes as well as uterus shape, but it still needed confirmation).
Some people believed back then that the quickening was when the baby’s spirit arrived in the body 👀👀 but of course it’s just when the baby is big enough for mom to feel it rustling around in there 🤣
Very insightful! Thank you so much for the backstory. We really have come so far when it comes to the world of medicine. 🤩
The quickening it's when you can feel the baby moving inside you
Thank you, Jemel! Such a unique way of expressing a babies first movements in the womb. I will remember this expression forever! 🥰
Great reaction, Joi💜 Adolphus is handsome but annoying AF! I wouldn’t have the patience for him🙅🏽♀️ I’m looking forward to the next episode 😁👍🏾
Same! He’s also very militant. Not sure how I would feel about being married to him. He would have been much better than Herman but still Agatha would feel trapped. 😩 What an existence!
I love your reaction 😂
Thank you, Sue! 🫶🏽
I am so happy to see the love on your channel for Lord Ledger. I won't pollute your comments by repeating the exact things I've read and heard on other channels about this fine man. The summary is 'old, ugly, disgusting.' I mean, I understand that taste is subjective, as is chemistry, but don't people have eyes?
I think it was obvious that Agatha loved Lord Ledger and that he truly respected her - something Agatha had never received from a man before - RESPECT. I do believe he ended things because he respected her and wanted to safeguard her reputation, as well as his own and his daughter's. (In interviews, Adjoa Andoh, the actress who plays Lady Danbury, has repeatedly commented that her love for Violet's father explains how invested her character is in the Bridgerton family.)
Some commentors think the way he ended things - by bringing Violet on his walk - was especially despicable and cowardly, like he was hiding behind a child. I don't agree - I think he was demonstrating powerfully why they could not continue to be together. Not only for Agatha's reputation, but for his daughter's reputation. Because as bad as her mom was, Violet deserved to have an honorable father. And I do believe Lord Ledger was honorable. I believe that he truly cared for Agatha - that he slept with her because of those caring feelings, not simply because of lust. And that is why he ended it - because he cared.
I look at Lord Ledger and I think, 'Awww, what a great grandpa the Bridgerton kids had!" I think Colin resembles him, and in the season 3 photo releases, we see Colin wearing a brown coat that resembles Lord Ledger's walking coat. At least that is how it looks to me! THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVELY CHANNEL!
What a lovely comment! Yes, I did think he was VERY honorable and so was Agatha. She could have made a scene and very well treated him and his family differently but they truly cared for each other and it showed. I loved their short romance and was so happy she got to experience it no matter how short lived.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Lord Ledger had a biracial background.
Possibly! But also I think he was just a pretty chill guy who didn’t think too highly of himself when it came to gender or race. I especially loved the way he treated Violet. Her mother told her she thought/read too much and he called her “brains” while encouraging her learning and growing up to be anything but like her mother. He also understood that what he had with Agatha couldn’t go beyond that one day. Too much a steak for her. He would come out ok but she definitely wouldn’t. 🥺
@@JoiLouiseReacts He had very good character and he was quiet but observant. He taught Violet that you don't judge people by skin color. Even though he's not protesting every time his wife opens her foul mouth, he has taken the time to teach their daughter to see the world very differently. He probably didn't have any choice but to marry her mother and his child is the only good thing that came from it.
Yes! I wholeheartedly agree with this. What a wonderful man Lord Ledger is! Probably the best on Bridgerton. Although I would have loved to see Violet’s relationship with her husband. 💖
@@JoiLouiseReacts My biggest fear about fleshing out Violet's backstory is there will need to be something to overcome in order to make a compelling story. People aren't going to watch 6-8 episodes of them traipsing through the garden with butterflies and floating on clouds holding hands. So what ugly unknown thing will pop up that they have to move past? Violet told Daphne that you have to choose to love each other and things aren't always smooth.
Make Edmond white passing with a Black grandma. That would make Lady Ledger throw a fit and Lord Ledger fight for Violet to have her choice.
Augusta had 9 children. George had a brother named Edward who was next in line. There were plenty of heirs.
The one Charlotte gave the love advice became William IV. Though they didn't have children, he did love his wife.
Run the World (Girls) was the perfect song for Agatha and Charlotte's scenes.
Agatha and Violet only became real friends in Queen Charlotte. They were just polite ton members in Season 1 and 2 - matching making for the young people. Not to mention Agatha is a good 16 years older than Violet. Violet is 12 and Agatha is about 28. They weren't friends and hadn't even met at that point.
Ugh! I hate that it seems like he literally was carrying the weight in d the world on his shoulders. Poor George!
Thank you for confirming their age differences. Agatha and Violet are an unlikely pair but it does make for good TV.
The matchmaking gig is a tough one. Especially when you actually care about your kids and who they end up with. I can’t wait for season 3 of Bridgerton. Excited to see if we get to see more of Agatha and Violet. 🤣
I really want Violets and Edmonds love story ❤️
Me too!!!! It sounds like it was BEAUTIFUL! 🥰
@@JoiLouiseReacts I imagine Jonah Hauer-King playing Edmond 🥰
After watching The Little Mermaid I see the vision
Mmmmm…YES!!!!!!! 🫶🏽
@@x_narnia_x6660 same!!!!
Quickening means when the baby start to move
Aaaaahhh! Thank you, Sue! I thought it meant when she started to show. But this makes much more sense! 🥰
Hey Joi. Love your commentary. The king's doctor, Dr. Monroe, was based on a real character who ran a notorious asylum, Bedlam, in the 1700's. From what I gather, his methods were as barbaric and torturous as depicted, if not more so.
My Lord! How terrible! I am definitely going to look into that one. How can someone be so horrible to another human being?! 🤬
Also in 1810, King George III signed legislation on how an asylum should be ran.
This is GREAT! A good use of legislation. 🙏🏽
Reynolds’s can’t do anything if it what the king want
Ugh! That’s so frustrating!!!! 😫
@@JoiLouiseReacts it is I know I was screaming at my tv
@@zzy4306 same! 😭😭😭
Something I've seen a lot of reactors miss is that by trying to intervene as he does, Reynolds is directly disobeying the King's orders, hence why he couldn't just come back with guards or other staff - they would not have disobeyed the king. And also, telling other staff members and trying to get their help would risk having revealed George's illness, which could have been catastrophic in 1700s Britain (he could have lost his throne, or worse, as mentally illness was not understood and mentally ill people were treated appallingly). So Reynolds was in a really impossible, horrid situation (the book goes into more details about the strain and pain this put on Reynolds, being George's oldest friend, and wanting to help him, but not being able to 😢). Great reaction, btw!
I totally understand this. It was just so frustrating to watch. There was so much hanging in the balance and Monro’s character knew that. Thank you for supporting my reaction journey. I am truly enjoying it. 🥰
I like that the bridgerton shows the different types of mothers. It's so real your force to marry a produce children with men you don't even like much less love. Some women can't even reconcile with that. That's why I think there children were not a priority. Damn that's so awful
Ugh! What a time. It’s hard being a woman but we definitely have it so much easier now. It’s CRAZY when you sit down and actually think about it. You are having to give your body to a stranger. Carry a child and never really have a choice in ANYTHING. 🥺
@@JoiLouiseReacts we are not where we should be, but damn so happy how far we came. I think alot of people judge the queen and Agatha when they watch. I get it ,we are talking a 17 year old and maybe early 20s damn.
Agreed!!!! I am happy to be alive today and not back then. 🙏🏽
Awww your dress and your cat
Thank you my dear! 🥰
You are cracking me up!!
🙈🙈🙈
George have siblings
Thank you, love! Guessing he was the first born so it’s why he was given so much pressure. His mother operated out of fear and could never really see that she was a huge part of what made George have his episodes.
Have you watched The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live? I think you're really going to like it! :)
I have not, but I will add it to the poll list! Is this the one based in NYC? 🤔
@@JoiLouiseReacts It's the spinoff for Rick and Michonne's reunion after 8 years! It's an epic love story and it's so good!! The lead actors have mind-blowing chemistry on and off screen and apparently, they watched clips from Bridgerton for inspiration and... they did not disspoint 😭 Turns out my favorite love story is in the zombie apocalypse 😅
Omg! How cool! I will definitely let you all vote on if we watch it on the channel. 🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is messy!!!
