As to the ending, i wouldnt have minded if she didnt end up with Sidney. Well, clearly, we move onto Charlotte Bront. Lady D swoops down upon the hapless brothers and sister, saying she wants her investment back or else theyll all be put in the poor house. We do deserve one more episode. Thank you for your subversive nature. I have loved reading your perspectives. Just one more episode to wrap up some unsatisfying ends would be most welcome. I always preferred Stringer for Charlotte. The only reason for a man to ride pell-mell after his lover is to reclaim hernot to rub salt into her wounds. His marriage to Lady C, if it occurs, will be unhappy and he will regret it and let Charlotte know. James Stringer receives a letter stating that he has received an offer of an apprenticeship in London. This Sanditon pirate/director used the Jane Austen platform (or should I say plank) to walk these characters off the edge into Davy Jones locker. I like the combination of Georgiana and Otis, there could be a lot more to come there, but of course with her considerable wealth do you want her to let a prolific gambler get his hands on her money without some serious vetting and real communication. One reason why I love the comments so much is that I gain so much from others perspectives, what people like and what turns them off. Plus, why is the elder Stringer working for a gentleman when he hasnt been paid in an age? They were the best characters because their story involved actually learning about themselves and each other and experiencing personal growth. He leaves his friend as soon as he sees Lady D and Esther enter the ball room, fashionably late as great ladies were wont to do. Or is it that none of our young men have taken your fancy? She turns to Sidney: What do you say, Mr. Parker?. And remember, in the first episode, Charlotte actually said, I dont want to marry. Why should she? Thank you for stopping by and sharing your analysis! So, for my part I rewatched Episode 8 for a third time through and the BBC version (which is not clipped) and I loved it. If we were able to see Sidney take a step back and truly suffer through this decision perhaps coming to terms with his life-long self-inflicted agonies and habit of denying himself happiness and/or chasing the wrong things and/or always being the responsible one in the family, etc. There was a lot wrong with the ending, and not just lack of a happy ending. I felt so betrayed by this final episode and turned right to you for commiseration. Ive sworn, after each episode, of this Davies debacle that I wouldnt watch another one, but like the proverbial train wreck, I DVRd it and next day tuned right in: However, this time I read your review first, got a great laugh and finally enjoyed an episode without actually having to watch it! The actors did an amazing job. Excellent reading! James Stringer is aghast at the loss of his father, and he recalls his angry last words with profound regret. Stupid. Inquiring readers: This is a long recap. She says, coyly, Sure why not? And off they goin the exact opposite direction of her destination. What is the matter with you?. He sees her as well. Esthers bored and pays scant attention to the game, which prompts Lady D to complain, You are playing like a nincompoop. Her disdain for him is understandable as she is young and does not yet comprehend what she so narrowly escaped and anyone in her situation would resent being so far from home with no-one she can relate to and with the ever present reality of systemic racism and the real threat of slavery. The horses gallop along a beautiful stretch of beach. This was a normal TV soapie series, and that is why of course it couldnt end, but only leave you wondering what will happen next time. I dont think there should be another season.Just leave it ,ragged, and unfinished. i find the end of episode 8 to be unfulfilling, to say the least, maddening and a tease, at best. WellI had problems with the Sidney/Charlotte relationship, anyway. Who could ever be so handsome and sexy! I dont want more I want a redo. What can a second series do? In life this ending seems to me just what might happen. He is not, as far as we know, a seducer. Several people have already made some plausible suggestions above. Ending of 'Sanditon'. I wish Sanditon had been marketed to us as a mini soap opera version of a Jane Austen classic romance rather than a continuation of an unfinished novel. (Although that sounds awful when I reread it but I think you know what I mean.). In another scene, Tom grovels in front of Mary and she, milquetoast, er, loving wife, that she is, forgives him. This isnt Jane Austen, although some of the characters were likeable. I even have a Madame Alexander Pride & Prejudice doll. This leaves Charlotte heartbroken and she decides to leave the town of Sanditon and Sidney behind. Charlotte and Sidney continue to clash, resulting in Miss Lambe being placed in terrible danger. At the beginning of the finale, there appears to be a clear path to happiness for our heroine as a marriage proposal from Sidney (Theo James) to Charlotte (Rose Williams) seems imminent. In series 2, he would most certainly have a comeuppance and be taken to task for his sheer stupidity and foolhardy regard to other peoples money. I would watch a second season if it primarily followed these characters (Lady Babbington navigates the London social scene?? If he had learned anything he wouldnt have sacrificed love to save his brother who was not made to be a businessman (Tom also kept reminding me of P.T. I had hopes for this one, but then the news came out of Great Britain last fall and my hopes were dashed. For what its worth, I was totally #TeamStringer. Its for Charlotte and (eyeing his ball attire), you look like one of THEM! But I contradict myself when I add that Sidney is sadly unique as portrayed by Davies. But I WILL read the eleven chapters that Jane Austen wrote. Are you kidding me! Ugh, when it ended I was left staring at the tv searching for the TV guide. II, By CHARLES G. HARPER. Sidney and Tom would not have included have listened to, not included her in their financial discussions, she wouldnt have been able to visit Stringers home (many times!) Mr. Davies has honored her in the Sanditon mini-series. A general critique of the whole series is they dont trust us for a moment not to be bored. I go over it again and again and again and have awakened many times with new scenarios for the second season. He would have been much more fun! Good for you, Lizzie. I kept waiting for the scene where Mary (who knew how Charlotte & Sidney felt, even if totally oblivious Tom didnt see it) dressed Tom down, insisting that he find the money elsewhere and, oh yeah, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for his actions for once. And I dont think Stringer would have been a good match for Charlotte because they only started to develop his personality and character in the last two episodes. However, she's not alone. No. As James and Charlotte dance, he tells her hes found an excellent situation in London as an apprentice.

I like the combination of Sydney and Charlotte and as an interesting and unexpected love growing for him and for her, it is rather a shock for him because I think its something he has never experienced before- lets face it Mrs. Eliza Campion is simply incapable of making him feel and think like this and drawing out his real self.. Now, those are plot lines worth taking in. It was released on 17th April 2022 by PBS. My, oh, my! The movie is more an interpretation of Jane Austens novel while the PBSs P&P series is almost a word-by-word rendition of the same (except for the pond scene). This is not an ending, this is not Jane, this is STUPID! Anyway, thank you for the reviews!! Colour me outraged! Its wrenching to see a story end in the middle. And so, Sidney says, What a brute I was., Charlotte, who, once upon a time was a feisty opinionated woman, says, I deserved it.. Literally finished watching season one and instantly hunted down the petition to beg for season 2. Charlotte sets out to avoid Sidney, until a serious accident forces them together . Like Matthew Crawley's (Dan Stevens) death in Downton Abbey, Sanditon killing off Sidney is also a smart move because of all of the story possibilities that spawn from it. And she enjoyed her independence. I think: *WTDFJH? The opportunity is there for a real love story, but not until she grows up a little and he commits to being honorable and seriously understanding his responsibility to protecting her and her money. Maybe she will meet a man more worthy than Sidney and less penitent than James in Willingdon. Fans of the show on PBS won't want to miss Sanditon by Kate Riordan. I plan to follow up this mini-series with this book. Does anyone recall a scene from Becoming Jane where she turns to her sister, Cassandra, and mentions that she will give all her heroines a happy ending in her honor (paraphrase). Really. Now I want to see Pride and Prejudice and Pirates. Technology! Let's watch the announcement of the series Sanditon Season 2 Episode 5. Cant live without it. Jane Austen characters are supposed to learn from each other and grow, so that by the end of the story the heroine and hero are made better by each other. We need closure! The only storyline that gave me any satisfaction was the marriage of Lord Babbington and Esther. I felt like the endings of the story line were hurriedly done. Ralph is a farmer in Willingdon that Charlotte's father insisted she marry. You cant give yourself to someone you dont love just because were the most foolish family on earth. Are they all really so selfish, unfeeling, and stupid in the end? Why was this disaster HIS full burden to bear? She is just there because they paid this actress. Yuck-patooey. No, it was him. Its the same feeling I had when Lady Edith married her Bertie in Downton Abbey, making her a marchioness. My sense is that cost and ratings will both play a huge part in the decision. Idiot. I would hope Clara comes back but if its again these seething melodramatic absurdities Id just as soon skip her doing more handjobs. The character Miss Lambe, a West Indian heiress, is "a real effort to represent someone in a very difficult situation at the time," said Crystal Clarke, right in "Sanditon." Credit . Thank you, Mr. Stringer. Charlotte obviously has no desire to flirt with James or embark on a relationship with him. Why, why would you do that to your audience?

I guess were lucky S&C didnt run away like Lydia and Wickham to ruin the family even more. Episode #1.5: Directed by Lisa Clarke. The ball as far as I recall, it really was a ball and not one of the monthly Assembly Hall things that were common in many towns, and so I was very taken aback when Stringer appeared. Well done you, Lord Babb. I have only just happened upon this excellent recap of the series I watched just a couple of weeks ago and found wanting in many respects. Unfortunately, a dance in formation can take up a considerable amount of time and Sidney will have to bide his time before he can talk to his sweet Charlotte.
