Poldark 2016

I've always thought the "rape" scene was on a par with Rhett Butler carrying Scarlett up the stairs, and Scarlett seemed happy enough the next morning!

As did Elizabeth!!!!

I loved Demelza's punch. No feeble, ineffectual, feminine beating of his chest with both hands, accompanied by screeches. Don't care how gorgeous he is ..... He deserved it!

As reported by The Guardian, Fay Maxted, chief executive of the Survivors Trust, an organization for sexual assault charities in the U.K., said, “This is some sort of rape fantasy where the man is overcome by his lusty passions and the woman resists but she really wants him after all. It’s a complete rape myth."

Poor Demelza she looks heartbroken by what Ross has done, such great acting by her last night i had a lump in my throat for her. Lets hope she triumphs in the end.

I felt quite sorry for Elizabeth too. What an idiot Ross is! Just as things could really be looking up too. He's messed up 2 women.

Is Elizabeth pregnant and if so who is the father? No paternity tests in those days!

Well, if she is and if it is Ross who is the father, it will have to be a premature birth because she has delayed the wedding.

Finally the story picks up and I suppose it'll be the end of the series soon. Oh well.

Last one next week I think Jane10

Aha! I know the answer to that one as I have read the books....and I'm not telling!

Drat!

I decided after last weeks episode that she is pregnant
This week we saw a bit too much of Elizabeth standing starring into space or out the window. Pretty boring really, what with that and Ross on his horse at the gate starring up at the house. Shame now his fortunes' have turned his marriage is down the pan. Oh no, wait that's his own fault.

Far too much cantering there and back along the cliffs, too many waves crashing on the rocks , too much paddling in the freezing sea, too much staring into space, too many drippy men and too much sighing.... I think this series could have been done and dusted in 6 episodes. I preferred the original with Robin Ellis and the late Angharad Rees. Just saying .

Why do they canter along the cliffs when they are going off to London? I thought even in those days the main road was further inland.

You can never have too many waves crashing on the rocks, too much paddling Marmight

I must say I preferred the original George Warleggan (Ralph Bates)

Yes; he was gorgeous. I do prefer this Demelza though but, as I've said before Elizabeth is too drippy. I thought 'the old one' had a haughty beauty about her [was surprised to learn that she was American or Canadian]. I thought last nights episode was good, having been disappointed with the rest of the series. I spent a lot of my [mis spent] youth living in Cornwall being spurned/cheated on by various boyfriends, so I can relate to Demelza .

Yes, I think the last Elizabeth was American, this one is Icelandic!

I spent quite a lot of my youth in Cornwall, didn't live there apart from working down there in the long summer holidays!

I do remember when I was little making friends with a brother and sister, the boy was called Denzil (could have been Jethro's pal!!).

Aah.

I've come over all unnecessary after that episode!

Great final episode. So glad they're back together.

Isn't the little boy who plays Jeremy Poldark just gorgeous? I bet the actors who play Jud and Prudy make a fuss of him because he's so giggly in his scenes with them.

Can't wait for the next series.

Final episode really held my attention. Will miss Poldark on Sundays.

Lots happening in this final episode. I love aunt Agatha especially. It's a whole year until the next series - boo!
