Oh, I thought it just screamed " I thought we were going to have a second season and maybe there’s still hope if the Americans like it…so I can’t have Sydney and Charlotte live happily ever after because that would mean THE END. Maybe this way, I’ll get a crack at another season."

I sort of suspected half way through that this was going to be like Marianne & Willoughby & Col Brandon. I thought that Sydney would leave Charlotte high and dry at the end of season one and then the accommodating young Mr. Stringer would step in. That romance would be season 2. Charlotte would return to Sanditon to help with the building, thinking that Sydney would be far away in London. She’d be thrown together with Stringer, who will end up being a co-owner of Sanditon–because Tom Parker can’t afford to pay him–and will make his fortune that way. She’ll figure out he’s actually a better match than Sydney because he won’t be looking down his nose at her family and relations. Maybe some subplot in which he has the power to ruin the Parkers & refrains from doing so will show Charlotte how good a man he is.

In any event, I felt like the ending wasn’t the one Davies planned.
