Honestly, that makes perfect sense. The Georgian Era people didn't know everything about anatomy and understood that the best pelvic bones for child birth were more common in girls with wider hips. Nothing more, nothing less. And he doesn't want to fall in love in case his future wife dies in childbirth. He's probably of the mindset that no attachment is better because his mother was so broken from losing his father. It's actually rather logical.

According to google, an explorer is someone who explores an unfamiliar area. If you define unfamiliar as only pertaining to your own experiences then an area with a map can still be explored by yourself. Of course, you could also define unfamiliar area to mean a place nobody is familiar with or you could decide a map counts as familiarity which would alter your opinion on the matter. tl:dr its pretty much up to you to decide if she is an explorer or not

You can totally explore places that already have maps. The difference between having a map of a place and knowledge of a place is all about context - you can have a Google map of a city so you can't get lost, but that's not going to tell you about the antique store that has a complete set of rose china that looks exactly like your late grandmother's that your mom has spent twenty years looking for or that awesome little bistro sandwiched between the Apple Store and Goodwill that serves those amazing little cucumber sandwiches or to avoid that one alley between the Metro Store and the butcher shop because of all the feral cats. You still need to explore the city a bit to learn about all of those little nuances that give any city its personality.

I feel like Eloise's character could soar a lot more if the writers didnt try to be so on the nose with her feminist agenda. Or rather, if they portrayed her as a feminist properly. The way they wrote her lines make her seem like a stereotype rather than giving that dynamic a bit of depth. Regardless, Eloise is still my favorite. And the final scene where she discovers and confronts Penelope's betrayal is great.

I mean I think they have done a good job so far of writing someone who is immature still. Yeah she is starting to have some ideas around feminism, but they are rough and unformed due to her age and experience level.

What bugs me about this season is that they changed Edwina’s character. In the books, she was not interested in Anthony. She had feelings for a man named Matthew Bagwell, who was a scholar and academic. I just think that having Edwina in love with Anthony was unnecessary angst. If Matthew was added, it could have kept the relationship between the sisters from fracturing.

The muttonchops joke is actually true. In the early 1800s, a man's face would be more clean when they were more serious about finding a wife. So when this seasons plot was him finding a wife, they intentionally did that because it was historically accurate. Good catch

I know Regé-Jean Page did not want to continue with the show but I hope he changes his mind. It would have been nice to see Simon walking through the season, hugging Daphne, playing with and carrying Augie, exchange a few words with Lady Danbury and Anthony (and Will) and just have a few present moments. I feel like this season had a better and more comfortable vibe and flow, and if it continues to do so in the next seasons, such little performances of him would fit right in.

"Bridgerton is the dumbest show, but I can't stop watching it..." is so accurate it heals the soul to know I'm not alone. lol

Bridgerton season 2 was much improved, I think that's mainly because Daphne was barely in it. I dunno, I don't really find her nervous face fun to look at. The scenes she was in were generally useful, so yeah. Thank god she wasn't in much of it. Also thought the sex scenes were surprisingly a lot more tasteful lol. Like "I could show my mum this show and not be hella embarassed" level, unlike season 1.

Bridgerton season 2 is so much better than season 1. it was really written well and the two main love interest this season; Anthony and Kate have way more chemistry than season 1’s Daphne and Simone in my opinion

I found season 2 to be boring compared to the first, it lacked stupid drama S1 had. I had bigger hopes with Anthony and Eloise being the main characters. Then hearing about how it went in the book I wonder why they changed it because it would have made S2 a lot better imo.

If it weren’t for Kate Sharma, I wouldn’t have any reason to watch S2 at all. She’s practically the cherry on top. I’m personally not a huge fan of slow pacing in shows, and I also feel like there are some scenes that kinda dragged on, which is a bit of a bummer for me. I feel like this particular season paid more attention to other subplots/character arks rather than the actual PLOT of this season. It makes it seem like Eloise and Penelope are the main couple or something, when in actuality, they’re not. Anyway, I still have hope for S3. Hopefully we get to see more Kathony moments by the time that comes out.

They probably did this cuz they want to incorporate every single story in like 3-4 seasons.

All the subplots actually have a whole book on their own so imagine what they had to do to squeeze them into one season.

Kate and Eloise are gorgeous women. I was thoroughly captivated by their performances. I read the book series years ago and was really excited to learn about thisTV series.
