I made a tiktok about the whole “Lets go to India, suddenly it’s not too far , really it isn’t, it was a whole thing last season, but it’s not now, how long it’s the travel? Months but we will not say how many” thing. And some people actually believe it’s in character. Why? Because Anthony said they would get there in time and because he said it suddenly it makes sense (?) And by the way some people reacted to what I said I know believe media literacy is dead.
It’s completely out of character for BOTH of them to ditch everything and go to India. Considering Violet almost died at childbirth and Kate lost both her parents, u would believe these two would be extra careful with the pregnancy. The fics where Anthony asks Kate to stop riding horses while expecting were more accurate than the actual show.
“Its called character development” no it’s not. It’s bad writing.
Character development is Anthony not fuzzing over Francesca, or calming down with a gentle bop on the nose.
They could have sent them to Aubrey Hall. Just have them saying “yeah we know we’ve been coming back and forth from the country to town but we’re actually remaining in the country while Kate is pregnant” and that’s it.
“It’s not like he forced her”, “she agreed to go” “he is going to be with her” Anthony is not a doctor, and yeah he didn’t force her but her agreeing to go is just as out of character as him coming up with the plan.
And the thing is: according to some of the creatives Kanthony had their honeymoon in india. It didn’t make sense in the timeline. But the decoration of their bedroom is based on that. Then the show disregards all that. Jonny and Simone’s version of the honeymoon makes the most sense.
There were people speculating some kind of regency era airplane. That’s the level of suspension of disbelieve the show is at.
