Now, I'm Not Sure Why He Was Shirtless In This Scene But I'm Not Complaining....

I would have been fine with Colin being angry Penelope until literally the last 25 seconds of the show as long as he was standing by her side, touching her, holding her hand, talking with her, arguing with her. In the show, he wasn't JUST giving her the silent treatment, he was treating her like he HATED her and wanted nothing more than to be away from her. Why would they do this to polin?????

I would have been okay if he just silently seethed next to her, even curtly saying "i don't want to talk about it!", but always by her side, even if he was mad and not saying anything. Just frowning next to her, grumpy + sunshine style

You don't understand how opposite this is to the essence of book!Polin - book polin always argue but then immediately make out and go have sex, like they're always in each other's orbit, even when they are upset with each other. They talk things out, argue head on, deal with issues quickly. I always found that to be such an important and beautiful part of Polin!

The way that Nicola PERFECTLY captures that gently bred virginal touch-starved lady getting the man of her dreams, wondering if this is all a dream, taking in the moment for what it is, tomorrow be damned! chef's kiss.

and LN is there, I guess.

show!Colin leaves Pen all alone in the middle of the street at night.

Twice.

The second time, Pen has to call out to Colin to get him to stop and talk to her. forcing her to initiate everything in this relationship because he's a spineless limp dick that keeps running away from her like a coward.

book!Colin would challenge show!Colin to a duel at dawn and kill him on the spot for this.

"Some sort of shift to tip the scales."

a deranged vulnerability
