I just would love to see what Colin is thinking while the rest of his brothers are beating up Phillip
" I left my sexy wife for this"
" how would Eloise feel if I got myself kidnapped on her honeymoon? Why she so rude to me??"
" this is the most time alone I've had with Penelope in ages and Eloise can't even let me honeymoon in peace"
"wait a minute... Dots connected... Kidnapped Eloise = more Penelope for me"
" if Phillip keeps Eloise, then I won't have to share my wife with her"
" New plan, befriend this Phillip guy, convince him Eloise isn't annoying, bribe him to extend Eloise stay at his house, possibly forever, no, no, Anthony's way is better, force them to marry"
"Argh Pen would have better ideas, Pen is so smart, and witty...and sexy"
" I MISS MY WIFE"

The charm to polin is that at their core they are both losers. They make corny ass plant puns that never land with whatever crowd they’re with. Penelope’s idea of flirting is to act like you're seconds away from fainting from heat stroke. She runs a successful gossip column and yet she's extremely shy outside of that. Colin can't help making dick jokes in the presence of his own mother. He's set on ruining the love of his life and he follows through with about as much backbone as a snapable glow stick ( I mean, he succeeds!!! but not in the way everyone knows he meant). Their idea of being bad together is to drop an eclair into a potted plant as if they're five again. Neither of them can register a damn social queue. The two of them break every rule of propriety there could possibly be between them unintentionally. They both somehow think that dating lessons with each other are going to be no strings attached. Polin at its essence is boy and girl cringefail being so disgustingly in love it makes everyone else around them sick. You need to understand, love, and accept this to be on board with them.

I'm seeing posts saying they'll feel sad if Debling turns out to be a great guy and Pen doesn't end up with him. I want to say it doesn't matter if Debling is the so called perfect gentleman. He doesn't know her. She doesn't know him. Not really. The same would be true for ANY other man they had come in as the convenient plot device too.
Everyone in these convos always forget what made the Bridgerton family so infamous in the ton. Marriage was a business for everyone, and that was an accepted fact of life, but the Bridgertons had a thing for making marriages of love. Even if Debling is the nicest dude to exist on earth, he's still a man of the ton who will be looking for a wife to fulfill a role, and ultimately marriage in those times would always, always be transactional. And Portia pushing Pen into the marriage mart so early, Penelope looking for prospects year after year, is also for her own worldly well being, not related to her heart.
One of the things that actually makes Colin stand out is the very fact that he appreciated her as a person first, then a friend, and only later as a woman. Back when women were seen as just potential wives or side pieces, ornamental displays for one's arms, or someone to fulfill the role of housekeeper and mother, Colin who appreciated her as a friend first, saw her as someone that could be confided in, but also someone that he could be inspired by, is an anomaly. In fact, even among his own brothers, he is an anomaly.

I always feel so validated in my interpretation when Nicola talks about Polin's journey, especially now that their season is about to be released. I've been shouting this into the void since season 1. No more "Colin is oblivious" nonsense.
Colin can only see what Penelope is willing to show him.

Female rage is creating Lady Whistledown.
Female rage is also dragging the love of your life within an inch of his god damned life on the pages of said publication.
Female rage is powerful and complicated.
