Lost in Austen
We stayed up far too late last night watching all 4 episodes of Lost in Austen. I think B loved it even more than I did. (He is a sucker for costume dramas. Also, we saw the A&E Colin Firth version of P&P a couple of years back, so the references were fairly fresh.) As we were going to bed he said, "So that was kind of fanfiction, wasn't it?" and I said, "Oh, yes..." and then I was horrorstruck by the sudden realization that it was totally and completely Mary Sue fanfiction. (Which, God love him, B must have heard me mention before, because when I said that, he actually knew what I meant.)
But I still loved it. I think my favorite bits were the Colin Firth references (and the pond incident!), Mr. Bennet who is just as awesome here as he was in P&P, Elizabeth in the last ep, and, er, a certain scene with Caroline and Amanda that had me laughing out loud in delight. (B: "Did she just say what I thought she said? I: OH YES.)
