At any rate, if youre going to touch our beloved Jane Austens work, PLEASE give it the respect it deserves and end it like Jane would. Austen is rolling over in her grave exactly what I told my mom while watching this episode. I am sure something happens and Sidney becomes free to be with Charlotte. The horses gallop along a beautiful stretch of beach. A chorus echoes in my head with the refrain, Lady Campion, shes the champion, richest widow in the land., Before Sidney leaves, he visits Charlotte and holds her hand: When I return, well finally have a chance to finish our conversation. Her complexion glows. While there is not a definite comparison between the two characters , I am seeing a transformative experience for Sydney Parker in Sanditon. CONTAINS SPOILERS. Demand that final episode everyone. But no solution is found for Miss Lambe! Informed minds want to know. 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. She ripostes, But much improved. Really, Charlotte, really? Well know soon enough. Shown from left to right: Charlotte Heywood (ROSE WILLIAMS) and Georgiana Lambe (CRYSTAL CLARKE) in SANDITON Season 2 On MASTERPIECE, Sundays, March 20 - April 24, 2022 on PBS. How could Sidney have done this? I would watch a second season if it primarily followed these characters (Lady Babbington navigates the London social scene?? Yarrrr! Thank you for visiting this blog. (There are 33 walks in P + P!). There are so many other directions they couldve gone. Frightfully decent of them. So disappointingonly one minor storyline wrapped up (Esthers). I could go on and on but suffice it to say, it was the transformation of the character unfolding that was actually changing me. "Do we have a rebel in our midst, Captain Fraser?". 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. Jane Austen would have never written such an ending. Im royally Pi-d! I wonder what she's up to. Also bad work for leaving some characters storylines hanging (Miss Lambe, for instance; what happens to her?). Ive never waited to put myself in someone elses power before.. There is the suggestion that Sanditon will rise again, but will it be less posh than originally envisioned? Good work! They really botched this one with no real ending. June 27, 2021. Like you, I found the death of Stringer Senior contrived, but it did not endear the young man to me. Charlotte is stunned, however. One of the times that happened before was when I was watching Ivanhoe (stay with me briefly) I was watching if like many others but I was just stuck on Sir Brian de Bois Guilbert. Also, I kept wishing Charlotte would put on a hat. finale. He drops Charlotte, whom he clearly loves as dearly as Willoughby loves Marianne, not to maintain an extravagant lifestyle for himself but to keep his family from bankruptcy (brought on by their reckless pursuit of great success). The only storyline that gave me any satisfaction was the marriage of Lord Babbington and Esther. Sanditon is believed to feature Jane Austen's only black character in Miss Lambe, an heiress from the West Indies, even though she's never explicitly described as such in the novel. Spoiler Alert: Weve invested many hours in Davies Sanditon on PBS Masterpiece and where did it get us? As for my feelings about the final episode: Boooo, Andrew Davies!! Ellen, I meant to reply earlier to your excellent comments. I dont think Davies can get Sidney out of this hole he created. So disappointed in the ending. I LOVE Sanditon. The couple meanders along the Downs, lost in tender emotions and lust. I too am glad for Esther and Im glad Edward is ejected. All wrapped up, tidy, and happy! Sidney quickly answers, Shed be delighted.. But especially I dislike happy endings unless I am made to believe in them. Yuck-patooey. We then see her saying goodbye to the Palmer family and leaving Sanditon in a lovely carriage pulled by four magnificent horses. Vic dislikes a few things I liked very much or doesnt mention them. Miss Lambe is a seventeen-year-old girl brought to Sanditon by Mrs. Griffiths, along with two Miss Beauforts. She was the only truly Jane Austen character in the whole series. PLEASE!! None of my friends watch Masterpiece and I have no one to share my grief with. The episode opens with our lovely Miss Charlotte walking on air through the one intersection of the Sanditon set that viewers have seen repeatedly. I suffered through 8 episodes so I could watch Sidney throw Charlotte over for that pretentious twit of a widow? This is not looking good. Like Downton Abbey it deserves more from these fine actors and actresses. I splutter. Thank you for your subversive nature. Reaching episode 8 I was in shock that Davies switched the DNA of what we know to be a Jane Austen novel with traditional endings based on the character development presented. Its the same feeling I had when Lady Edith married her Bertie in Downton Abbey, making her a marchioness. Miss Lambe is described in Sanditon the novel as 'half mulatto,' and a wealthy heiress who may be sickly. A second series is demanded Hes handsome enough, and goodness knows Theo James, the actor, tried his best, but hes no Mr. Darcy. Esther is honest. Austen fans are likely quite familiar with Sense and Sensibility, Emma and Pride and Prejudice, but many may not. Miss Lambe makes only two appearances. Yes, yes yes! Perhaps we should plan a simple country wedding. (Although that sounds awful when I reread it but I think you know what I mean.). She and Sidney would not have been allowed to roam the countryside alone, Tom would not have been allowed to wander town and try and charm the Prince Regents special lady in shirtsleeves without a jacket on!!! Worse, how could he face his Mary? Gentle readers: Please feel free to post your comments and continue the conversation! Colour me outraged! They could have had a lovely life together. Sanditon is back for season 2! I am of the belief that tall, dark and dashing jolly well ought to come with good manners even when he hasnt fallen in love with the girl. But Im commenting because I wanted to say thank you for the excellent blog posts along the way; I enjoyed them more than the series! They would have enjoyed one another, treated each other kindly while she had her forbidden lover on the side and he did too. And would-be adaptors of her stories today should either honor her intentions (clearly shown by her finished works, her letters, and oft-quoted let other pens dwell on guilt and misery) or just leave Jane out of it and write their own story. If the marriage did go forward I can see Mrs. Campion dying in childbirth, opening the way for Charlotte and Sidney, but who would want him after their heart being destroyed. Episode #1.5: Directed by Lisa Clarke. I enjoy reading your comments through the years on this blog. Tensions between Tom and his laborers erupt during the Sanditon cricket match. Andrew Davies was bragging on the PBS show about his reading so much Austen that it is with ease that he writes Austen (my paraphrase). Willoughby was not worthy of her. Tidy up all those loose ends? 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. In many cases if you married for love you were quite destined to be poor for all your life. Davies went overboard in modernizing and sexing up Janes wonderful characters. But he is not attracted. She is taken to Sanditon by Mrs Griffiths, along with the two Beaufort sisters. Yes, it has that feel, doesnt it? And what of Sir Edward Denham and Lady D's fortune?" There's also a strong sense that ITV is trying to set us up for more. Sidney and Charlotte should be together. After Lord Babbs weddng to Esther, Lady D turns to Charlotte. Sadly, there will be no second season. Their meeting stinks, in my humble opinion. without a chaperone. We absolutely enjoyed Sanditon and can hardly wait for the next season. Oh well, for that matter, everyone else was allowed in there too. One or two episodes would be nice. For the first time in many episodes, Miss Lambe is dressed in a lovely gown. Who could ever be so handsome and sexy! Or someone else will have to do it. Its wrenching to see a story end in the middle. Fans of the show on PBS won't want to miss Sanditon by Kate Riordan. Tensions surrounding Miss Lambe's arrival in Sanditon erupt at Lady Denham's grand pineapple luncheon. Vic, a few descriptive words and statements and phrases such as: brash, exuberant, rough round the edges, a good laugh, I fell about in stitches at some of the dialogue, I enjoyed it. Even Willoughby, selfish rake that he is, gives us charm and wit before his fall from the proverbial pedestal. This denouement is occurring too soon! So the series is highly inconsistent and that goes with having different writers. The only reason for a man to ride pell-mell after his lover is to reclaim hernot to rub salt into her wounds. For what its worth, I was totally #TeamStringer. Ill be back in a week.. I suppose the wedding will be episode one of season three followed by Sydney getting killed in a carriage accident the next day. She knocks on Mrs. Griffiths door to visit Georgiana and espies Sidney nearby talking to Tom. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome. We all see the right wayand even Lady Georgianawhy was she even in the plot if not to have her give money on the promise that she can marry her true love, too? Please find Mr Stringer someone nice he is quite unsuitable for Charlotte so I imagine Sidneys wife will die a gruesome death leaving him all her vast wealth, and then we can be left in limbo again, wondering whether he and Charlotte will marry in Series 3, which I will definitely not buy. ? I did not know that a 2nd season might be in the works, so I thought that really was the end. I agree. Really, all that happens in the part Austen wrote was setting the story in motion by getting Charlotte to Sanditon and mentioning the coming of Miss Lambe the heiress, and introducing most of the characters. The conclusion of the series found Charlotte traveling back home in tears, Sidney Parker engaged to a woman who he didnt love, and young Stringer giving up his dream of a London architecture apprenticeship to stay in Sanditon. I agree. I have the complete works of Jane Austen as books, and one or two DVDs of each of the movies or TV versions. Miss Lambe gasped. I am in agreeance with the comments here; as they say, shared sorrow is half sorrow. Read the review of the book at this link. He didnt go quite as far in some character resolution within the 8 episodes, as I may have liked, especially in regard to silly and irresponsible Tom Parker. Charlotte folds in on herself like a wet noodle. He is a weak attempt at Janes magnificent Mr. Darcy and lacks the character of Wentworth. Once Sidney/Charlotte was credibly ended, so was my interest. He's kind. Why was this disaster HIS full burden to bear? As the town's cast of characters congregate in church the morning after the ball, the priest preaches about the "blooming" young women of Sanditon and how they will eventually be plucked. It will have to go some to beat the BBCs version with Romola Garai. Sanditon is STILL unfinished! Then I wondered how the same person who created the quintessential Pride & Prejudice could have created an Austen adaptation where only the least likeable character got a happy ending and all other story lines were left unresolved. I wouldnt mind if the series ended there its more probable. Then they kiss. James Stringer receives a letter stating that he has received an offer of an apprenticeship in London. I did enjoy the Esther + Lord Babington storyline. My sense is that cost and ratings will both play a huge part in the decision. The dancing continues, with Lord Babb and Esther, Arthur and Georgiana, and the rest of the assembled guests having great fun. Feeling her lungs start to burn, Charlotte pressed down on her stopwatch, let out a long breath and opened her eyes. THATS IT?! That is what I call a good mini series. They are curious to find out what happens with Charlotte, Sidney, Miss Lambe but unfortunately cannot do anything but use their imaginations . Charlotte is, understandably, in a period of mourning so that the audience can commiserate. 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. There is no urgency to her dressmaking, she says. Following which, Sidney breaks upon Charlotte that he has plans to honour his word and has to get married to Eliza Campion. Have Edward and Esther got it on any further? I dint like the poorly designed set for the town of Sanditon. We just dont want to let go of the delightful, charming and exciting characters we have grown to love. What about borrowing all or part of the money from Georgianna? The Ms. Lambe scenario is quite reasonably played out so far, has everyone forgotten that Otis is a rather flamboyant gambler. 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!) If you market a series as Austen then you know in advance how it is supposed end. What happens to her? Anyway, Charlotte and young Stringer would be nice with their similar backgrounds etc, except for the fact that there is Syndey and he is going through something from what Charlotte is teaching him that could make for a dramati c and compelling love story. The Parkers combined resources cannot cover the disastrous cost of 80,000, or 6,323,574.23 in todays money. We may receive books (physical or digitized) and DVDs for review purposes. However, in Sanditon they are both entertaining and hopeless to help, as Dr. Fuchs agrees. Then Sidney is way laid by Tom. He was hoping for but was not assured a second season. But almost anyone can know her intentions when she took up the pen. Looked dinky, cheap, fake, loaded with CGI and not up to the standards of the other exterior locations. Hopefully, at some point, someone will take him to task and appoint a manager to rein him in. Surely you jest..that is not a ending.Jane would be horrified. The arrival of Miss Lambe's forbidden love causes Charlotte to question her opinion of Sidney. However,. Charlotte and Sidney soldier on, exchanging polite conversation. Shes/were just lucky that Esther broke her silence at her bedside. Charlotte was destined for Sidney Parker, so I reconciled myself to the pairing as an inevitabilityor so I thought. Presuming says lambe if no legal heir it goes to Lockhart and he is gonna try and show that g is not legal heir hence the search for alive g mom who shows up with legal documents etc. Such a loss! Having been born on Janes birthday it could be understood that I have empathy for her fate since at 72 I find myself a spinster, in dependent (and loving it).
