okay, so y'all know I have some issues with this season (esp. part 2), but one of the things I'm just having trouble wrapping my brain around is this scene:
I guess for me, I have a hard time understanding why Pen saying "I love you" this time was such a big deal to Colin (I mean, he takes a step back as if it is the first time he's hearing this from her.)
She already told him she has always loved him in the church - why would her saying this now be such a surprise to him??
I guess, I can understand that her telling him in the church is pre-Colin finding out about her being LW...so perhaps since his discovery he's questioning everything she told him before??? But if that's the case then why would he believe her now?
I'm just having a hard time understanding why this dialogue was needed here - just for a big romantic kiss scene? I could have almost done away with this for a slightly longer conversation about how her being Whistledown doesn't change how she feels about him but how she's now worried her being Whistledown does change his feelings for her irretrievably. We sort of get this when Colin talks to Kanthony, but it still would have been an interesting question hanging in the air for Colin and Pen after a talk between the two of them-especially the night before their wedding.
I feel like that would have been a better use of time than a (in my opinion) redundant "I love you" from Penelope and a make out scene that doesn't really do much to forward the plot or their character arcs.
Don't get me wrong, I love a Polin kiss as much as the next guy (and the scene is hot!), but idk...this felt more fanservice-y (almost like they knew they weren't giving us much Polin togetherness in the final few minutes of episode 8 so they threw us a bone here...)
But I'm looking for someone to point out what I'm missing and help me make more sense of this scene! More than happy to hear thoughts, feelings, headcanons, etc! Thanks in advance!
