Aidan <3 <3 <3

Excited for Series 3 and for Queen Demelza.

[spider_orchid]

I haven't watched series 2 yet because of the r*pe...

[death_spoon]

i haven't watched it yet because of procrastination
but the rape is still very concerning

[winter_lace]

the second half of season two was so disappointing. JFC. Demelza is the only redeeming factor in this show.

That and the old aunt whose always hoovering and giving out dark predictions.

[fenchurchly]

LOVE the aunt. She's amazing.

[ella_rose88]

I love Aunt Agatha! And Verity!

[shadowfax]

She's awesome.

Did anyone watch the PBS broadcast? Based on what I read here on ONTD, they must have heavily edited the rape scene down, which is messed up.

[fenchurchly]

I don't think it was changed?

[misscrystal]

Probably not. The encounter itself was pretty quick so I don't think PBS would have any reason to edit it.
The reason people were so (rightfully) pissed off by it was the fuzzy consent/"no means yes" aspect, i.e. Elizabeth repeatedly telling Ross "no" but "not really meaning it".

[leitao]

It's not heavily edited, but it is less violating. In the PBS broadcast, Elizabeth invites Ross into her bedroom from the beginning, rather than having him refuse to meet her downstairs and barging in there while she has no say, etc. I believe they also took out Elizabeth saying "stop" repeatedly.
