Members Faulkner Posted January 21, 2019 Members Share Posted January 21, 2019 There’s been a touch of backlash, which I don’t want to overstate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted November 17, 2019 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2019 Have watched the first two episodes of Season 3 - loving it - if there's any justice, the nameplates for the Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG and BAFTA awards for Best Supporting Actress are being readied for Helena Bonham Carter. She is sensational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted November 18, 2019 Members Share Posted November 18, 2019 I absolutely loved the second episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 26, 2019 Members Share Posted November 26, 2019 The casting for Camila (Shand) Parker-Bowles was very generous. No offense, but Camila was never as cute as the actress portraying her, I've seen photographs when Camila was younger. But the casting for young Princess Anne is ingenious! The actress is quite a find. I've seen interviews with Anne as a young woman and this actress is spot on in her interpretation. Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter are as great as you'd expect two actresses of their caliber to be. One of the aspects that really caught my attention was the use of music cues, which was excellent. In a way, it sort of reminded me of when soaps were really good at creating original music for scenes and certain pieces became identifiable for a certain mood. What The Crown did that took it even further is that there would be a piece of music that would give an air of foreboding or dread and just when you start to believe that you know when it will be used next, that same piece of music might be used in an entirely different context during a scene that is hopeful. The use of music cues during this season was top drawer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted November 26, 2019 Members Share Posted November 26, 2019 @DramatistDreamer Yes, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne was quite the find. Best character of the season IMO. I'll put this in spoiler tags just in case there's anyone who doesn't know about the following historical events or who has not completed the season (plus I've added my own speculation on what the first episode of season 4 could be): Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 27, 2019 Members Share Posted November 27, 2019 My guess is that the event that you described will happen in Season 4. From what I've observed and in reading articles, The Crown doesn't always put events in exact chronological order. That event is too dramatic not to be included. I think it's likely that there will be more on that character in the next season, as well as the introduction of a new character (who I think we all know who she will be) in Season 4. I was surprised at how they raced through years in this season's episodes but like I've said, the show has been known to 'reorder' the sequence/chronological order of events for dramatic purposes. Using a bit of 'dramatic license', if you will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted November 27, 2019 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2019 From your keystrokes to Peter Morgan's scripts. That event is too dramatic, and Erin Doherty too perfectly cast, for this event to not be portrayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted July 9, 2020 Members Share Posted July 9, 2020 The Crown has gone back to ending with six seasons instead of a truncated five: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/crown-be-extended-six-seasons-netflix-1302590 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted August 2, 2020 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm glad to hear it. I imagine Season 6 will end in 2002 with Please register in order to view this content as that is likely the natural bookend that's long ago that history can have some appreciation for it, but not too distant in the past that it leaves the series feeling incomplete. I am very interested to see who will be cast as Sarah Ferguson. She is a particularly fascinating character to me and while I imagine she will only appear in a few episodes in seasons, either late in season 4 or in seasons 5 and 6, but I hope Peter Morgan gives her some attention as she intersected between Diana, Andrew, Philip, The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, as well as Her Majesty, quite a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
