The Royal Beaver

So I’ve finally watched the last 2 episodes of season 4 and I have to say I’m feeling abit underwhelmed? I enjoyed episode 9 and the build up in episode 10 and I know they had Willow and Robert actually get married and the uprising not go ahead to add drama as it was supposed to be unexpected but I found the end of the episode abit of an anti-climax because of that?

I think it would have so much more interested to see the plan be carried out and Willow out Robert because I was excited for his reaction and Jasper and Boone’s responses. I thought it would have been interesting to be going into season 5 wondering what happened next with that and how everyone’s relationships and alliances would fair afterwards. What would have been Roberts immediate reaction? What would happen next with Jasper and Boone if they did have to hold down Robert. How would Eleanor and Roberts relationship have continued when he realised she was against him? Would Liam actually get to be king?

Maybe I was just disappointed that the whole season has been focused on showing Roberts bad side and watching everyone find out the truth about him as if it was leading up to something when in the end it didn’t.

Also, there were a lot of things thrown in at the end to make us want more and leave mini cliffhangers but it almost felt like too much to me. Finding out that Kathryn’s pregnant almost had me rolling my eyes, I’m not the biggest fan of her character and yet another pregnancy cliffhanger seemed abit repetitive. And the cliffhanger with violet returning was abit of a let down because she was shown in the trailer for episode 10 so we knew she was making an appearance yet it was for 10 seconds which was disappointing.

However, I did think that the character portrayal was very good in the last episodes and the mixture of drama and comedy was good. I found myself laughing at some parts yet other parts were still touching. The camera work and styling was excellent as always and I loved the flashbacks too I always think this show does then really well!

Obviously I am really hoping for season 5! I am excited to learn what happened to Violet and why she has only just returned as I liked her character. I’m excited to see the aftermath of the wedding and what everyone’s reactions are. I’m curious what Robert said to Willow in his speech with her before the wedding, I have a feeling he found out about the uprising and has blackmailed her to get on side. Unless he just convinced her he loves her but I can’t see her character being that weak willed?

CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING? 🤗🤗

Am I sensing some foreshadowing here? Like, if he somehow ends up ruining his relationship with Willow, are they telling us that if he really wants to he has the chance to make amends??? PLEASE LET IT BE, i’m constantly living on the edge here.

she called him by his name, he points it out too

he likes the necklace

when he quotes her during his speech

its like a coming home shot 

seeing her frazzled, love that they are touching

gives her a drink 

smiles after the shock of seeing her down it  

doesnt care about the prime minister on the phone - it willows time 

they talk, robert was never meant to allow himself to love

he’s starting to hope and feel things he buried

KISSS

THIS WAS THE EPIC MOMENTT

when he shuts Cassandra down for his queen

when he’s looking out the window, “Are you okay” - willow

he brings up her speech, she worries she said the wrong thing

when he says he owes her an apology, loved willow’s “why” - it was so cute and innocent 

he shouldnt have out her on a list

her words got him through a hard day

he never want to go a day without her 

“will you marry me?” Robert
