Changing alongside it is the impulsive and unconventional Charlotte Heywood, who swaps her quiet rural . So disappointingonly one minor storyline wrapped up (Esthers). 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.

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!!! They would have enjoyed one another, treated each other kindly while she had her forbidden lover on the side and he did too. We agree on so many points. Charlotte/Sidney/James Springer dance to the same music as Marianne Dashwood/Willoughby/Col. The current ending is too reminiscent of Mariannes situation with Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility. Thank you for listening to my rant. Shame on Davies and to heck with the disappointing ending.

A little choppy for me. A general critique of the whole series is they dont trust us for a moment not to be bored. I have both and love both! Shed do it for Charlotte if not for Sidney. Couldnt Young Stringer (hunky, intelligent, loyal, hardworking and consistent) and Charlotte have found some happiness together? Downton Abbey did such a great job of providing a completed story each season. Cant Lady Susan give them some money or better yet have the Prince Regent give it? generalgtony Their happy ending would have made us feel complete! Then they kiss.

Crystal. Did anyone else not really see the Sidney/Charlotte connection? I watched 8 hours for this ending? Thank you for visiting this blog. 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. 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. I had taped the series and I think I must have watched the damn show about 200 times because I couldnt actually believe what was happening to me. I enjoy reading your comments through the years on this blog. Please believe me there was no other way to resolve Toms situation. Davies and his writers failed on so many levels to pick up on Austens clues. This time a stagecoach takes center stage to deliver passengers and the mail. Her role was more as an observer. Later in the series, Georgiana gets kidnapped to be a man's wife because Otis had mentioned her when he had debts to pay, and after she is safetly back home she breaks it off with Otis because she can't trust him anymore. Ha! I completely agree that there should have been more Tilney in Sidney. The only thing I regret is the sense Tom has hell be all right. No, it was him. What exactly he was doing abroad is a mystery to his family, though they're determined to find out. His attitude towards us is disrespectful. Dont have this strong, individualistic, hard-working woman being manipulated by an older man. Sanditon introduces a delicious cast of supporting characters, including Miss Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), the first significant person of color in an Austen work, and Miss Lambe's. Help! Ralph is a farmer in Willingdon that Charlotte's father insisted she marry. I was as heartbroken as anyone and frankly am still grieving (I had PBS Passport and watched it all a few weeks ago) but I really enjoyed it. I did warn you a few weeks ago that the last episode had a Big Surprise. One or two episodes would be nice. She and Charlotte chatter like close girlfriends are wont to do, giggling and exchanging highly personal information. I reach for crackers with sharp New Zealand cheddar cheese and a fine red Australian wine and watch Lady D and Esther playing cards. I always preferred Stringer for Charlotte.

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). As it turns out, Sidney Miss Lambes guardian is the lamb put to slaughter for his family. The scene segues to Georgianas bedroom. Does she just resent being forced to go where he makes her? Sentimentality such as in the scene between Tom and his wife and then Sidney and Charlotte on the cliff grates on me by its untruthfulness. Part of their misunderstandings revolve around Miss Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), the 17-year-old mixed-race heiress from the West Indies who just happens to also be Sidney's ward. He does not deserve being all right. Exactly. Songbird: I thought Jamess acting was fine. I mean, this is way better than most of the heaping garbage people put money into so why not make it happen? She is just there because they paid this actress. As outsiders, both Lockhart . Her complexion glows. Or does she know something more sinister about him? I inferred that they were both childish in spirit and had fun together. She is from Antigua, and her father, before passing, left Mr Sidney Parker to be her legal guardian. Lets hope we can watch a fine episode ending. He is a weak attempt at Janes magnificent Mr. Darcy and lacks the character of Wentworth. The writers gave her a talent in organizing events. James, such a sweet and likable character, stomps out, calling his father a miserable old man. Whatever happened to the Heywoods or Lady Susan, or were they meant to make an appearance in Season 2, which will not be funded? So there you are,Vic.It appeals to my subversive nature. Maybe thats why Davies had Sydney emerge from the beach a la natural as he did a throwback to his P&P production. He hies back to Sanditon several weeks after his departure, causing ulcers and sleepless nights for kith and kin. Oh well, for that matter, everyone else was allowed in there too. Ugh, when it ended I was left staring at the tv searching for the TV guide. The worst part was the rushed changes in the last two episodes. I find it odd that so much money was spent on costumes and a few lush sets and so little on the town of Sanditon. No. It turns out, he has saved them allexcept for he, himself and Charlotte. I plan to follow up this mini-series with this book. Recap the previous and following episodes.. Sanditon is an eccentric place: even the priest is odd and a bit off-putting. I agree. All your thoughts about the series make sense. I believe we all saw what Sydney was forced to rescue her from. So glad to read this this morning! And remember, in the first episode, Charlotte actually said, I dont want to marry. Why should she? 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. Sir, I shout at the screen, You are no gentleman!, Charlotte meekly steps inside the carriage and Sidney watches until it disappears over the horizon. 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. And, Mary Parker, having taken Charlotte under her wing, should have told her not to wear her hair the same as she would have in the farm yard. Lets hope that the powers that be listen to their faithful and erudite fans. Yes what Sherry said! Description. Why was Sanditon Cancelled? Thank you for your comment! Thank YOU for allowing all of us to vent and share in our love of Jane. I absolutely LOVED Sanditon and it rivals Persuasion as my favorite work of Jane Austen. 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. It just made him look utterly selfish, when were supposed to believe hes a reformed character. The only reason for a man to ride pell-mell after his lover is to reclaim hernot to rub salt into her wounds. What about borrowing all or part of the money from Georgianna? And Sidney ( after being rude and aggressive) all of a sudden is overly polite when he tells Charlotte that he is best when he is around her. I will leave it there its not about me but it had to do with the character transforming and understanding something about women that he had never known before. Regency manners require her to accept this invitation or bow out from dancing for the rest of the evening. The next thing we know, someone yells, Fire! Poor Mr. Stringer is toast. 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. We need another season to finish it off right! 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? I cancelled the DVR and now I can look forward to a Monday night for the first time in 7 weeks.

Esther feigns boredom, but Lord Babb urges the horses on. Alas, her heart was broken when Molyneux's big mouth and gambling ways got her into some serious trouble. There is no way a trademan, however talented, would have been invited to a ball in that company. All wrapped up, tidy, and happy! They really botched this one with no real ending. ? I did not know that a 2nd season might be in the works, so I thought that really was the end. i find the end of episode 8 to be unfulfilling, to say the least, maddening and a tease, at best. The viewers were cheated. While the actors did an amazing job in their roles, I admit to being disappointed by the ending. It's revealed in the season 2 premiere that Sidney Parker died from yellow fever on a trip to Antigua after the events of the first season finale. Despicable ending did I really suffer 8 episodes so he could dump her for that pretentious twit of a widow? However,. Due to SPAM, we will no longer accept comments on posts after 30 days of publication. After Lord Babbs weddng to Esther, Lady D turns to Charlotte.

We then see her saying goodbye to the Palmer family and leaving Sanditon in a lovely carriage pulled by four magnificent horses. The Parkers financial future lies in Sidneys quick return, and they gnash their teeth as they await news of his success. Like Downton Abbey it deserves more from these fine actors and actresses. Ive just finished reading Sanditon by Jane Austen and Another Lady, in which Miss Lambe is a nonentity (disappointing), but this story starts off by bringing Georgiana to the viewers notice and then then huh? Even though parts of Sanditon didn't entirely feel like Jane Austen herself, it was wholly entertaining novel and very delightful to be back in an Austen inspired world. This! Also, Charlotte was 22, and she never seems quite that age in this series. Sanditon's a place that's changing fast. Where could it go from where we left off? Copyright Statement: Jane Austen's World blog, 2009-2022. James Stringer takes this moment to ask Charlotte for a dance. The only storyline that gave me any satisfaction was the marriage of Lord Babbington and Esther. 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. Good work! Anyway, I am disappointed that Charlotte didnt get her man. I also was really bothered that all the other Parkers let Sidney take all the weight of the financial burden. He's so dreamy. James is beside himself with grief and regret. . It is so rich in possibilities. How are your wedding preparations? she asks, her face immobile, as if injected by botox. She was an immature, inexperienced child. Andrew Davies, you did us wrong! Good mini series requires only good costuming and setting. I love all the different plot scenarios people are sending in for Season 2. We should see him as noble for taking such a hit, but instead he just seems obnoxious. The dancing continues, with Lord Babb and Esther, Arthur and Georgiana, and the rest of the assembled guests having great fun. The camera pans to Sidney chasing after Charlotte on his powerful steed.

Isnt the first rule of Austen that after all the suffering comes a happy ending? Absolutely agree, particularly about the ridiculousness of the Parkers not objecting to Sidney sacrificing himself. Its the same feeling I had when Lady Edith married her Bertie in Downton Abbey, making her a marchioness. Three minutes 26 seconds!" Miss Lambe is a prize well worth the winning. Sanditon (1817) is an unfinished novel by the English writer Jane Austen.In January 1817, Austen began work on a new novel she called The Brothers, later titled Sanditon, and completed eleven chapters before stopping work in mid-March 1817, probably because of illness. Also bad work for leaving some characters storylines hanging (Miss Lambe, for instance; what happens to her?). Vic dislikes a few things I liked very much or doesnt mention them. In the eighth clip released, Miss Lambe (Crystal Clarke) receives a letter from her love Otis (Jyuddah Jaymes). Sidney didnt change at all except for becoming attracted to Charlotte and therefore being nicer to her. Willoughby was not worthy of her. Bleh. 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. But what happens after the Jane Austen plot runs out? sat on his steed in regret as he watched his Marianne marry Colonel Brandon. Im just saying. A week ago I didnt know it existed, I am thrilled youre doing it, cant wait to see your take on the new Emma. I love it when Story B makes it to the A list and emerges front and center. Stringer would not have been invited to the ball, and even if he were, it was not true to his character that he would go. They exchange smoldering looks. Thank you for the patience for going through this. Yuck-patooey. I actually enjoyed the movie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies better than the ending of this mini-series. Still liked it, but feel it needs a good solid ending at the least. You made me laugh out loud with your Janewould have hired a hit man to take out Andrew Davies. LOL, Despicable ending!!
