Unpopular Personal Opinion/Rant (#2):
*** SPOILERS BELOW - REFERENCE SOME DELETED SCENES***
Season 2 Colin admires Pens rubies (her necklace you perv):
This one I would love to see. If they gave us that scene any Polin fan that says they wouldn’t have spent the following 2 years talking/joking about Colin checking out Pens boobs is 100% lying.
“Teach Me” / “It Has Only Ever Been Us”:
I feel like the “Teach me” line/dialog makes sense to be cut. Colin’s dream happens after The Kiss, after Pen has told him she has basically given up looking for a husband, it’s why The Kiss happens. It makes no sense for Colin, someone who actually listens to what Pen has to say, to then have a dream about her asking for another lesson. Him having a dream where she confess that he occupies her every thought thus reassuring dream!Colin that his feelings are reciprocated feels more on brand for Colin as he starts realizing he has feelings for her.
Colin saying “it’s has only ever been us” I personally think would have just created more confusion and division for the average Bridgerton audience. When Colin truly realized how deeply he loves Pen and that he may loose her he takes action - immediately. Him having a dream with that type of realization in it that early on doesn’t align with him then waiting a week to talk to her again and then even longer before telling her how he feels (Also I think the line would have been more romantic if he said “it’s has only ever been you.” not ‘us’. So in general I don’t consider it to be a big loss, haha.).
Ambrosia at the Gentleman’s Club:
This scene adds nothing to the story. We know Colin likes to be the hero from season 1 & 2. We know Colin losses all interest in other women after he falls for Pen because of the second brothel scene. We already know Fifi is a jerk. This scene is nothing more than a romance jump scare “Will our leading man cheat? Tune in next week to find out!” .
The chat between Pen and Gen:
I think people say they want this but in reality, at the time, it would have been viewed as another secondary character taking time away from Polins direct storyline. I think learning more about Gens character would be great, but that is a conversation that can easily be had between Gen and Pen over tea when Polin are not in the middle of a very serious fight. The scene being cut takes nothing away from the main plot of season 3.
