Yesterday I finished rewatching season 1 of Sanditon with Mr Wifey because he’d never seen it, and I was reminded of a) how much I freaking loved Sidney Parker and b) how infuriated I was that his character gets dropped like that. 😩 Jane Austen would never!
Whyyyyyy 😭😭😭

On the MSATD News
I didn't have time to post a knee-jerk reaction (which those of you from the Downton days know I was apt to do - thank you to all my long term mutuals of my side blog for sticking with me through those days), as I saw the news as I was getting ready to head out for work and it's been… a bit of a day.
Suffice it to say… I am devastated. And my initial reaction was (well after cursing), that it should have ended with S4, but with a different (happier) conclusion. It's called Miss Scarlet AND THE DUKE for a reason. And after all that happened in S4… it really feels like… what was it all for?? Especially if they knew WHEN FILMING THIS?? "Goodbye for now" is NOT "goodbye forever." They really, really really fumbled this.
There's a lot of theories going around, and I will admit it's too hard for me to listen to Stuart's new interview, but going off what other's have said and the parts of the transcript I did manage to read… I just cannot feel like this was actually his decision unless there's something else going on with him (either in his personal life or maybe he has some secret role he's got, because supposedly he hasn't worked since he did ADR on S4). He's been the captain of the ship, and he has always been enthusiastic with discussing the show and had just great insight into playing William. It doesn't feel like he himself was ready to move onto other things (and that's not even how it's worded - some BS about how the show needed it him to be gone for ~longevity~ of the show), like I've seen with other actors are on shows (e.g. Dan Stevens). He still promoted S3 (which came out in the UK after they filmed S4), he still even promoted S4! He was an executive producer for S4!!! Nothing makes sense!
So if it's due to RN… why keep having the other characters say William was only going to be gone a year? Why bother to have the flashback? why bother to have him stay at at Eliza's to recover?? hell I'm surprised they just didn't keep in the coma then--
But really, why even bother to have Eliza write to him? Or have Ivy say what she said to her?? The time apart was supposed to be them looking at their options. They literally foreshadowed him joining Eliza at her agency upon his return. So… what happened?
If it was actually for personal reasons that Stuart left, he has a right to his privacy. But then they should have rewritten S4 to be the end then, since they knew all this time. I can't believe we are getting the full story on this, one way or the other. The more and more I think about it... I do think it was RN's doing though.
Just two nights ago I drafted up a whole meta extolling how one of the best things this show has done has been how they developed William and how he grew as a character. The progression he made as he not only accepted Eliza having a career but encouraging her. His mentorship of Fitzroy. How he came from nothing, from a teenager living on the streets, to become an inspector at Scotland Yard. But they have chosen to toss that all out the window.
Who knows, maybe S5 ends with Eliza deciding to go to New York. But it doesn't seem like they are handling this like Babington's absence in Sanditon. They will make Eliza quickly fall for someone else, and slap fans in the face who have been following their friends to lovers slow burn for five years (because we had to wait for S2 in the first place thanks to the pandemic). And what sucks is that we still got promo saying they are in love with each other. From Stuart, from Kate, from Rachael New herself. We have still gotten promo promoting the romance. Why not have them have a big fight then or something, idk. They gave us hope. And you know what Fellowes says about false hope.
So I'm just supposed to believe that William gives up on Eliza and doesn't return…? No, I cannot. As much as we hated the deaths on DA when they wrote out actors, at least those characters still died in love with their spouses. And while I'd still be foaming at the mouth in anger if they killed him off… yeah.
William's last lines of the show is a flashback including him saying "is it all worth it?" And the answer is… no it's not.
#yeah I'm risking putting this in the tag#miss scarlet and the duke#msatd spoilers#honestly thinking about every damn scene they ever had#WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR#thought of the jewelry store scene and died#also does this make Arabella right? gross.#also I guess Alibi doesn't give a shit about the ratings for the last two episodes left to air in the UK#also I didn't bring up Theo J*mes because he left after S1 and it was different#if they recast William with Ben Lloyd-Hughes I'd take it#(wouldn't be the same but you know)#but don't make him a new character it doesn't work here with William still alive#I'm tired of men going to America#iykyk#msatd rambles#<-- that's gonna be tag for all the rambles and rants on this damn show.#it includes things I did not put into the main tag

I was reluctant not dauntless enough to continue watching the following seasons of Sanditon (S2 & S3) because of Sidney Parker's (portrayed by Theo James) departure from the show.
But I'm glad I shrugged off that thought 😊
I made the right decision to stream seasons 2 & 3!!! AHHH I ardently love how Mr Alexander Colbourne was introduced to Charlotte's life. Their dynamics, the mutual pining of feelings, the angst!!! 🔥😍
Glad they got their happy ending 💖

So, in the show Aziraphale talks about how (per Jane Austen novels) balls are the perfect place to talk out your misunderstandings and come to a romantic accord. And it bothered me a bit, because this is NOT true in Pride and Prejudice. Apart from Jane and Bingley’s courtship, all the dances in P&P injure the romantic understandings - and the one proper ball precipitates the break in even Jane and Bingley’s fairy tale. Northanger Abbey has plenty of romantice dancing near the beginning, but those dances are at best the way to introduce a relationship, not grow it, nor get past misunderstandings. Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion are all rather light on dances (and again, major romantic advances are much more frequently made in private than on a dance floor) - S&S’s biggest dance scene is the biggest heartbreak in the book. Where is Aziraphale getting this “balls build relationships” from?
Emma. Freaking Emma. Where the heroine is desperately working to maintain the status quo and manipulating everyone else in the spirit of helpfulness and doesn’t listen to the man who points out that a noninterventionist policy would be more helpful. The man who she’s amicably argued with and relied upon for as long as she can remember. The man who’s been head over heels for her for forever, whom she has likewise fallen head over heels for without really noticing, till they get to a ball and she gets him to dance with her because, well, “love” is a concept she’s not ready to come to terms with, but she wants to dance with him. Emma, who can’t be happy until she finds a way to keep all the people she loves in the places she loves them to be, who cannot be happy pulled away from the home she’s made with the man without quite noticing it.
Aziraphale, you might want to reread that book. And then the rest of Jane Austen’s bibliography, if you think she’s arguing for dancing as a way to make deep relationship strides.
I love Aziraphale stupid ass because he read like Pride and Prejudice and what he got out of it was that balls are cool and not that to make a relationship work you have to talk about your feelings. Remarkable

Sanditon
Almost done with season 1. A fine romp. I am told it does NOT follow the book. So, if that is the case, then it becomes a Regency era soap opera (novella, if you will). I have enjoyed S1. I do not know if I will be able to stomach S2 & S3.
stay tuned....

I saw your book recommendations and came here to say: I love The Doomsday Book. I also have similar mixed feelings re: Willis, but that book is incredible and makes me cry every time. I had to reread it in 2021 for my grad degree because I had chosen it on my booklist, and suffice it to say I found that very disturbing to read in the middle of a pandemic of my own!
I also saw your tag about a Crosstalk AU for Fitzsimmons, and oh my goodness, be still my heart! 😍 That would be utter perfection. Indeed the whole “I have ESP but not with the person I expect” thing has preyed on me since I first read that book (in the best way). I’ve thought about a similar AU for Alison and Declan (from Sanditon). But I have a love/hate relationship with that book… I am obsessed with some parts, and I get really fired up about others. Why do think it gets to us so much?
Did you ever read Willis’s book To Say Nothing of the Dog? I tried, but I couldn’t get very far… I’m afraid I love her *and* sometimes she very much gets under my skin.
Okay, last thought… have you ever read her novels Fire Watch? I think of it as a love story for history lovers and it never fails to make me cry.
Sorry this got so long!!! Love reading your thoughts either way.
The Doomsday Book makes me cry every time I read it too, even though I *know* what’s coming (good and bad). I love love love the mix of triumph and tragedy all tangled up together at the end - so beautifully done. The first time I read it, I started it at around midnight on a work night because I couldn’t sleep, intending to read a chapter or two until I nodded off. Instead I read it through in a single sitting and then somehow had to go to work, even though a) I’d been awake that night and b) I had been weeping copiously through most of the final 100 pages. I couldn’t bring myself to read it during the worst of lockdown - I am impressed you managed it!
I love the basic premise of Crosstalk *so* much, but likewise I have a love/hate relationship with it. I think the characters in Willis’ books can often be extremely stupid for the sake of furthering the plot. I think that’s one of the things that most frustrates me about her work, because she’s capable of such great character work and then throws it all away. Would any adult really be daft enough to get experimental brain surgery at the insistence of her extremely demanding and needy new boyfriend, without even looking at the side effects? It’s very difficult to believe it! But by the end of the book I was won over in spite of myself.
I have a theory that The Doomsday Book was such a runaway success that she’s no longer being edited properly (aka the Late Career Agatha Christie Problem), because a lot of the problems with Crosstalk (and Blackout/All Clear) could be fixed by better editing. I think that’s part of why her work frustrates me, because the good stuff is *so* good and I feel almost like she’s being let down by a wider team.
I do really like Crosstalk as a basic premise for a Fitzsimmons story, though - if I can ever bring myself to get through a reread! I would probably try to start it with them in the emotional equivalent of early s2 - best friends, estranged following a traumatic accident that led to traumatic brain injury for Fitz. Jemma’s so keen to help him that she agrees to experimental neurosurgery with Milton because the findings of the EED study might help people with TBI - so Fitz feels like she thinks he’s so useless that she’s literally willing to undergo brain surgery rather than accept him as he is, while she of course feels guilty that she’s “fine” and badly wants to help relieve his pain. It feels like it would make for a good angsty set up! Can’t you just see Fitz as grumpy CB hiding in the basement of a building with pictures of Hedy Lamarr everywhere?
I really enjoyed To Say Nothing of the Dog, but I was in exactly the right mood for a silly romcom caper when I read it. I also really love that light, frothy late Victorian/early Edwardian comic writing style that she was trying to ape, and I think she (mostly) did it successfully. If I’d been in a different mood, I would have found all the random side characters walking on stage just to opine about the nature of history very annoying.
I haven’t read Fire Watch - thank you for the recommendation, I will give it a try!
Oh and Sanditon is on my list of programmes to try this autumn/winter, because it’s finally made it to a streaming service I actually have. I’m looking forward to it!
#roamingbadger#this answer got long too!#but glad to talk about my love and also mixed feelings for Connie Willis’ work#!!#crosstalk spoilers#doomsday book spoilers#(kind of)#connie willis#lou reads

Hi, regarding Sanditon and Georgina's ending. As someone who watched S2 and S3 I really liked her storyline. It was defenitely imporvement from s1. And she got HEA with*spoiler* Otis.
Yeah, but did she have a romantic arc to the extent that the other girls did? Nope, a guy we hadn’t seen for many episodes showed up at the last minute. It’s pretty blatant to me that she didn’t get the same treatment as a romantic heroine as white women #1-28393993, and considering how clearly the show tried to market itself as a diverse romance based off her presence alone… that’s just not good enough for me.
#sanditon#here’s a last minute happy ending for gi isn’t good enough#especially not when they literally added Charlotte’s sister just to give her a romance arc#lol like they had the time

do you regret reviewing Bridgerton s2? lol or are you having fun with this UPROAR? cause I am. xD I still maintain that I'd love to see you hate watch sanditon. cause that fandon is even CRAZIER!
LMAO it's a fun discussion except for the fact that there is a fundamental disconnect between what I'm saying and what anons who disagree with me think I'm saying so repeating that over and over is exhausting but everything else is pretty fun. LOL i can't with Sanditon, I HATE theo james. HE IS SO CHARMLESS.
