Many lives were tragically interfered with because of the rigid class system. "Do we have a rebel in our midst, Captain Fraser?". Esther laughs joyously and for the first time viewers watch her blossom into a fun-loving young woman whose worries disappear with a man who loves her more than she loves him. Sanditon is back for season 2! The only thing I regret is the sense Tom has hell be all right. We absolutely enjoyed Sanditon and can hardly wait for the next season. Lets look ahead to Autumn de Wildes Emma, rather frowned upon by the Wall Street Journals Joe Morgenstern. Miss Lambe's story is totally unresolved. I would have liked it if Lady D had *faked* her deathly illness (and that we knew she was doing so). Notes and references Please, please, please, bring back the show! I am trying to move forward but Im kind of stuck, I hope Mr. Davies does something to wrap things up cause its really bugging me and I dont feel like its my story to tell but I LOVE these characters and he better fix it. Jen, I have often wondered if Jane saw Charlottes fate similar to hersas an independent spinster, courted by men, but with no desire to marry. Davies and his writing team were writing against deadline, or so the story goes in the The World of Sanditon companion book. 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.

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.

S1 E6 - 47m 34s Charlotte and Sidney must reconcile enough in order to search for a missing Sanditon resident. I, too, am somewhat disappointed in the ending but if is not implausible, on the contrary. I feel weary even thinking about a second season because you know that Sydney and Charlotte wont be able to get together until the very end of the season. But I WILL read the eleven chapters that Jane Austen wrote. Whoa, whoa, says the coachman, prompting Charlotte to peer out the window. This denouement is occurring too soon! Here is a look at the official description of each episode from Sanditon according to the official website of the PBS with its airing date and time. And that version of Sidney (rather more Tilney than Darcy) is far more appealing to me :-). Her complexion glows. For the first time in many episodes, Miss Lambe is dressed in a lovely gown. Please say you are not., Well, uh, maybe, perhaps. So Sidney will continue as the cynical man thwarted in love. 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!!! 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. I would watch a second season if it primarily followed these characters (Lady Babbington navigates the London social scene?? Maybe hell come home paralyzed for life (which will last exactly one episode) before finding Eliza in bed with another man. Thank YOU for allowing all of us to vent and share in our love of Jane.

And Austen addict that I am, I actually read Sanditon years ago and always thought the premise was intriguing.The 11-chapter scrap of a novel is set in Sanditon, a seaside town being . The WHOLE WORLD wants to come to Sanditon (a slight exaggeration) just in time for the Midsummers Ball. So disappointed in the ending. Overall, Im somewhat indignant that this series is labelled as having anything to do with Jane Austen. While I enjoyed the series on a surface level, I could not resist writing tongue in cheek recaps. The viewers were cheated. It was obvious well before the first episode finished that this series had nothing to do with Jane Austen. Just let it drift over the horizon, and be done with it. No, noplease not another season. All care toward making things accurate to the period was forfeited, and Charlotte, this common-folk visitor girl was allowed in every conversation and situation. Well know soon enough. I didnt edit very well either! :). Now all he has to do is tell his Da. She is taken to Sanditon by Mrs Griffiths, along with the two Beaufort sisters. I had hopes for this one, but then the news came out of Great Britain last fall and my hopes were dashed. I loved the ending for Lord Babbington and Esther. If you market a series as Austen then you know in advance how it is supposed end.

Across the ball room, Charlotte and Sidney exchange glances of frustration, but she cant refuse Stringer, for she was not engaged to dance with another gentleman. She basically calls him a wuss and says: You are the worlds worst carriage driver., Why not? As she drives the horses even faster we gain insight into their future relationship. It changed him completely. Her complexion glows. As it turns out, Sidney Miss Lambes guardian is the lamb put to slaughter for his family. The P&P-like turning point that Davies was playing for didnt quite work for me. It was the timesmarrying for money to better the familys situation or hold onto the land (Downton Abbey style). 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.

I may be wrong about that, but I was surprised on how they ended a good story. I agree that the Sidney character as written by the Davies team comes nowhere near Austens heroes, because, as you say, he is written with a lack of wit. I know Rose Williams rather liked the ending with the man ending up in a marriage of financial convenience, whereas, it was pretty much always women who ended up that way, and I can truly appreciate that little twist of fate here, but I was still bummed out by the ending. Announcement: According to PBS and ITV, there are no plans to film a second season of Sanditon. Although I dont think it would be our sort of thing.. Thank you, Mr. Stringer. Charlotte obviously has no desire to flirt with James or embark on a relationship with him. THATS IT?! :-P. I wish this story had featured Esther and Lord Babbington as the main hero/heroine instead. Bleh. Even if Sidney had said, I must do this for us the ultimate sacrifice, at least it would have shown that the family was aware and cared about what it would mean for him. I voted one more show to wrap it up, though it was easy enough on the eyes that Id dare to watch a second season. His character should have and could have become so much better! She ripostes, But much improved. Really, Charlotte, really? Terrible! In your comments you write independentcourted by men which is fully understood by women of the 21st Century. I always preferred Stringer for Charlotte. In that case, secondary characters Sidney and Charlotte similar to the S&S Willoughby/Marianne romance would have seemed to come to a fitting end. I so enjoy this platform, Vic, that you offer to the sisterhood and brotherhood of Janites to express themselves.

Their meeting stinks, in my humble opinion. Also Read | 'The Wilds' Season 2 Release . (?). Still, I had a rollicking good time and hope to see at least one new episode. Charlotte writes a letter to her sister saying that its been weeks since Sidney left in an attempt to save Sanditonand so the plot goes on. And quite uncharacteristic of Lady Denham.

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. Dont give yourself airs, says Lady D, You havent got my money yet! It was obvious well before the first episode finished that this series had nothing to do with Jane Austen. OF THE COACHING AGE, VOL. STAGE-COACH AND MAIL IN DAYS OF YORE: A PICTURESQUE HISTORY Otherwise, Sanditon season 2 wrapped up its major storylines: Alison married Captain Fraser, Tom and Arthur Parker finally got Colonel Lennox to pay the money he owed to the town, Georgiana learned that Charles Lockhart was the fiend scheming to marry her for her fortune, and Sir Edward Denham is now being punished by Lady Denham for his cruel Charlotte says without inflection, I dont think badly of you., He then says, I dont love her, you know Im just fulfilling my side of the bargain., This is the UNFAIREST cut of them all. In Janes stories all the heroines get a good ending. Really to leave a Jane Austen story in such a shambles is a travesty. I cant believe it! 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. Im assuming you are rooting for a season 2? Take your pick. I actually enjoyed the movie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies better than the ending of this mini-series. I suffered through 8 episodes so I could watch Sidney throw Charlotte over for that pretentious twit of a widow? Did anyone else not really see the Sidney/Charlotte connection? 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. Sanditon might have been tolerable enough if they had left any expectation of Janes wit out of it. Vic, thanks for all the summaries and dissections. What are you up to with Charlotte? As for my feelings about the final episode: Boooo, Andrew Davies!! It really was that bad. I am thinking of Persuasion now, and though this is a reverse situation, where the man chooses to marry for money (for whatever reason) instead of for the love of his life there arises an opportunity for a do over. That is a plausible ending if there is another episode for Sanditon. Lady D is called away, before he can formulate an answer. Thats how I see it anyway. Good for you, Lizzie. I dont understand why Lady Susan couldnt come to their aid after being such a dear friend to Charlotte and being so understandably critical of Lady Campions relationship with Sidney. I am mostly sad that Georgiana was dropped from the storyline completely and had no ending. And if Davies wasnt going to do it, then at least grant Charlotte the dignity of riding off into the sunset on her own, perhaps visibly gaining new confidence in herself as she goes. I didnt like the trajectory of her story line and expected her part in the drama to be more complex and for her to be given a strong story arc that demonstrated growth and stamina. However,.
