Lost in Austen
MOAR. MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR.
NAAAAAO.
On a side note... why is it that everyone's interpretation of Darcy seems to have one's that I don't consider quite... Darcy? I suppose I can't say anything about the a-fixed scowl, that, in itself, is Mr. Darcy, but in my head, I imagined... I dunno... dashing? I think Macfadyen's portrayal was the closest to what I had envisioned. Darcy, while being a complete git and looking so, had every ability, as shown in the second half of Pride and Prejudice that he could be caring and such. But the Darcy in Lost in Austen... with that man's forehead, I don't know if he can do anything but Darcy's scowl, even if I admit he does Darcy's scowl quite well.
I'm glad it looks like in the next episode we get Bingley and Jane together. As much as I loved the Elizabeth and Darcy relationship, I always thought Bingley and Jane were absolutely adorable.
Two DW actors in this, both from Moffat's episodes. I have to say, I am enjoying Alex Kingston's performance down to the very last letter. I kept imagining Mrs. Bennett when I read the books as a non-Asian, more loud version of my mother, therefore frail, frustratingly narrow-minded and prejudiced, and annoyingly outspoken. I love Kingston's interpretation. She's exasperating and overbearing to the very last, just like in the books.
Not enough of Nancy's actress to get a good feel for her, but I'm enjoying it all the same, if only for the snickering and cracky crossover thoughts.
Considering in one of the reviews they compared Jemima Rooper (who plays the main character Amanda) to Billie Piper? I find it too easy to find the crossover ideas lulz-worthy.
Eh, Mr. Bennett doesn't fit right in me because of the looks as well, but he's still lovable, as he always was. Bingley looks waaaaaaay too much like the pretty boy. So I'll be over here, finding that annoying. I hate his sister already, so that's good.
OMG, WHY CAN'T NEXT WEDNESDAY BE NAO.
NAAAAAO.
