OH GOD THE FEELS. I think that it was probably a slight error watching all of S2 in the space of 3 days because it has left me somewhat shell-shocked and in serious need of a season 3, which apparently may not ever happen. Although, realistically, all I need is a Christmas special where Bel and Freddie ride off into the sunset together and I'll be happy. I am fairly certain that if they do a third season then Ben will be in it cause he's one of the main draws for the BBC in terms of their cast. But apparently it's his schedule that may be problematic? Whatever. I say it's only 6 hours of television. MAN UP BEN!
This is an excellent post and I agree with it wholeheartedly.

Thank you! So glad to have fellow fans on my friendlist.

I figured I should start the new year with a new season of something and wanted to spread the episodes out, but that didn't happen because I was reminded of just HOW PHENOMENAL THE SERIES IS AND HOW MUCH I SHIP IT by the end of the first ep

Since we share Revenge and The Hour, clearly this means that we have superb taste. I just saw a promo for a show called Deception which looks very Revenge-y so I think I'll be giving that a try. I believe that the premier is tonight so I will let you know. Although, if you decide to watch it then you can let me know
( ... )
For sure, we have exquisite taste in all things TV. I have heard talk of Deception and its similarities to Revenge, and ngl I'm in two minds about it. So many shows, so little time. Did you end up seeing it? What did you think
( ... )
I haven't seen Deception yet, but I do have it downloaded and ready to go, so I think that I shall probably do that today at some point. I will let you know how it goes

Your thoughts on why the petition is important give me hope. I've no idea why it wouldn't allow me to sign it, but I think the fact that I didn't provide my detailed address might have something to do with it. Not a big fan of that part... what to do, what to do.
The Hour's Golden Globe nomination also gives me hope, although it would have been better for us if it won, ofc.
Yes, I was thinking that maybe Freddie's wife is nowhere to be found! And - oh - how twisted would it be if Freddie ever brought up the fact that he had to get MARRIED to get Bel to finally agree to be with him & called her on it as being the only reason, and her flipping out about it & not wanting to justify herself, and it escalating? I just... I'm not sure she'll ever tell him about that letter b/c she's very private about her feelings and there could be tension/doubts, etc.
lol, I'm sure I'll come to you & complain when I'll watch it. I should get on with it... S1 OF THE HOUR TOO. so many things to watch, so little time, but at least I finally HAVE some. YAY
Well, like I say, I don't know if it'll make a difference but I'm prepared to do anything I can at this stage!
It would be amazing if Freddie found the letter. I'm not sure if he'd be cool with it or furious that she let him be off in the world not knowing and marrying someone else. He is big on all the truth all the time after all. Could be interesting.
S1 of the Hour was also really good, but had quite a different feel to S2 which was definitely darker overall. It's still fabulous though!
Did you get the impression that Freddie actually told her he loved her first in his letters? He kept reciting what he wrote & stopped mid-sentence after "And I said..." . Probably made it all the more devastating to him that he confessed his feelings and never heard back from her.
I'm not really sure tbh, I hadn't thought about it. I think that the implication has always been that Freddie told her that he loved her at some point. There's no way that all those looks could have been totally without some sort of background confession! ITA agree about the devestation though. HE MARRIED ANOTHER GIRL TO TRY AND GET OVER HER.
YES. Did he love the other girl? I think he was fond of her, but not the way he was fond of Bel, BEL WAS STILL HIS /LIFE/ AND THE ONLY PERSON HE COULD THINK ABOUT.
I WATCHED THE ENTIRETY OF S1 YESTERNIGHT (I was going to watch only E1 lol oops) AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN FREDDIE & BEL IS SO LACED WITH EXTRA ~MEANING NOW, I CANNOT.
I really, really need to talk about it so that my head doesn't explode, I am SO re-watching it again and possibly S2 too and making a post in the nearest future.
But yeah S1 totally pointed at some history there. HE RECITED POETRY TO HER & SHE ACTED ALL TOUCHY-FEELY WITH HIM & damn, how could I ever have /doubts/ she felt the same way, f l a w l e s s OTP.
P.S. I really need some TheHour userpics if I'm going to fangirl like this.
BEL WAS STILL HIS /LIFE/ AND THE ONLY PERSON HE COULD THINK ABOUT. Yes. This. I am in 100% agreement about the fact that Freddie always had Bel in his head as the person he would end up with. But then Bel didn't reply to his letters and I think he just got on with his life. He found a girl that he really liked and thought he wanted to be with forever, but he barely knew her, and as soon as he was back in Bel's atmosphere that was it.
I have not watched S1 since the end of S2, but I remember very well all the stuff about poetry and baths and lying on the same bed etc etc.
I've visited the petition site & there's only a little over 500 signatures left! However, I think I've discovered the reason the BBC is on the fence about renewing the series: Romola's fansite is reporting that she has recently announced her pregnancy:
I'm happy for her (imagine how GORGEOUS that kid will be!), but of course, it puts a delay on any nearest commitments, especially a TV show one. In any case, I hope they won't cancel the series but just put off until she's ready to work again.
In other news, I sort of want to watch everything with Ben & Romola rn?? IDK I've done that for maybe 2 or 3 actors in my lifetime, but they are just SO and I miss them so much. Mum & I have seen the first two episodes of Emma today and LOVED IT, she is so delightful in it, I can't handle it.
Fingers crossed that this is indeed the reason cause that would give me way more hope! If you're on a Romola kick then I would totally recommend 'I Capture the Castle' it's one of my favourite movies and it has bonus Rose Byrne!
This is an excellent post and I agree with it wholeheartedly.
