The Power of a Fandom
The ‘about this contest’ section had a line that said: If you can't get enough of Pride and Prejudice, then Bridgerton is the show for you. I beg to differ. If you’re a fan of Jane Austen’s work, then watch her last, unfinished book come to life with the help of screenwriter Andrew Davies, the same man who wrote the screenplay for the nineteen-ninety-five version of Pride and Prejudice. Watch the entrancing love story between Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker develop just as Jane would have written it. Watch the heartache they both face just as Jane Austen would have wanted it. Then after you do, come find the fandom on Twitter and let us support you through your own heartache when the show ends. We will be ready and waiting with open arms.

Susan Joy ClarkPublished 3 years ago in GeeksThings I Want to See In Bridgerton Season 2
Okay, so I may have watched “Bridgerton” way too many times to admit. I might even call it my “emotional support ‘Bridgerton’” to my best friend when we talk about what we are going to watch during the week. Regé-Jean Page is a dreamboat, okay? I can’t help it. I’m sure you’re asking yourself right about now, “why watch it so many times when you could read the book series and have some new interactions with the characters?” Well, dear reader, this is a notion I found myself expressing as well. So I went ahead and bought up all the books and began reading them. After finishing the second book, “The Viscount Who Loved Me,” I thought I would share with the world a few things I want to see in the second season of the show.

Spencer HawkenPublished 3 years ago in GeeksIf Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Then Superstore
Brooklyn Nine-Nine won the hearts of millions of people. It reached every viewer on a personal level from those of us who adore the straight cut and monotonous ways of Captain Holt who would let loose from time to time with his acronyms and backstories when working a case with Jake, to loving the crazy yoghurt obsessed Terry who adores his suspenders as much as he adores his two girls, to even falling in love…creepily I’ll admit… with the puppy-like qualities of everyone’s cousin, Charles Boyle, who lacks the ability of a filter and the understanding of inappropriate comments and highly sexual innuendos. There is even a portion of the “Nine Niners” who love the laidback and irresponsible Gina who would rather dance and play “Cwasy Cupcakes” on her phone than work.
What’s love got to do? Got to do with it?
Dipping one’s toes into the expansive sea of queer films and TV can be a daunting prospect. Whether you fall under the umbrella of the Alphabet mafia (LGBTQIA2S+) or not, this most elusive of genres focuses primarily on love.

Love turned sour by disappointment or crushed under society’s indiferent boot. The pull of these tales is the uniqueness of the individual flowers, and the many shades, patterns, petal shapes, and stalk lengths that unfurl if given the right care and attention.

Humans are complex creatures. We’re selfish, self-absorbed and materialistic, compassionate, intelligent, and vulnerable. We’re raw and happy.
