I really dug Persuasion.
I wasn't crazy about Persuasion (although I thought ASH was perfect!). I thought it was kind of lifeless and rushed.
Nandi: I ain't her. Mal: Only people in this room is you and me.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

No, Mansfield was bad and boring. Persuasian was not in the same class as the Amanda Root/Ciaran Hinds version and they made some inexplicable changes to the story.

Oh, my god, Monday. No. No, no, no.
I don't think my brain is awake enough to fully appreciate the horror that is Monday....
My Monday (so far; all of this occurred before 9:30):

Why couldn't they have, at least, done something about her HAIR?
I know. I don't think she refused, because I saw a commentary from who where she was saying that her hair was dyed red for a part or audition or some such. I was left thinking that somehow they couldn't afford a wig?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's fucking brilliant. I love two things: the look on sandy guy's face about a minute in--it's precisely "But, okay, I know these things, and that's not technically possible." and the sound effect of mouse clicks over the closing credits.
Love!

Where is all this Austen you all are talking about? I set my TiVo to record anything Austen and it is not catching it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
On PBS, Masterpiece Theater is doing a "complete Jane Austen" thing. Which includes some new productions, and a rebroadcast of P&P and Emma which previously aired on A&E.

Also, the "complete Jane Austen" seemed to include Jane Eyre. I was a little confused by that.
