shallowness: Kira in civvies looking straight ahead (Vibrant Demelza Poldark)
[personal profile] shallowness
So, I rewatched Sanditon 2.6 and I have two observations and a mad theory: that score uses the strings a lot (and went a bit Downton during Colbourne’s angsty horse ride). Colbourne, Charlotte and Leonora are more dog people than I'd registered previously. Don’t rush to get that mastiff for Leo, seeing as you’re running away from your Charlotte-less house in two months’ time, Colbourne!

New potential theory I’m posting in case it does happen in the third series: Could Mrs Wheatley be Georgiana’s mother? I’m not sure how much it stacks up because from everything she’s said it seems like Mrs Wheatley was around for the Colbournes’ disastrous marriage and Lucy Colbourne’s demise, and could well have known Alexander Colbourne’s father. That doesn’t preclude her from leaving Antigua when Georgiana was young, and she and Georgiana have never met, although if she was looking for her five years ago, she’d surely have heard of Miss Lambe the biracial heiress, so there’d be a lot to handwave away, but I wouldn’t put it beyond the show. It depends on whether they wanted to cast another actress or not.

I’ve started bingeing (i.e. watching almost one ep every night) Hart of Dixie. I should have checked whether the show runners knew they were getting cancelled and it didn’t end on a never-to-be-resolved cliffhanger. Too late now. It’s available on ITVHub and was promoted during the Sanditon ad breaks (as was Veronica Mars, I chose to watch this for novelty. I’ve since learned they’ve also got Chuck, so I could finally see the seasons I missed too…)

My thoughts after seven episodes in two paragraphs: I have seen better fish out of water/city slicker is forced to come to small town ‘light dramas’, but the actors are charming enough and they’ve been adding layers to the regular characters. Two overlapping love triangles do a love pentagon make. I note that after two episodes, they decided to try to redeem Wade from his skeeviness. I enjoy his, Zoe and Lavon’s breakfast buds dynamic, and love Zoe and Lavon’s near-instantaneous friendship.

It’s bathed in a golden light and the music is by a hairsbreadth on the right side of being annoying. I don’t get why nobody seems to have noticed that ‘Lemon’ is the kind of name celebrities would be mocked for lumbering their offspring with. It took up until the seventh episode for me to begin to get a handle on why Lemon and Lavon’s relationship was a secret and she broke up with him. I’m now suspecting it was because her (former?) idol and mother replacement Delia-Anne (sp?) doesn’t like him and Lemon was technically still with George while he was in New York.
