Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction, too.

Best. Kiss. Ever.

dangermousie January 20 2006, 15:57:52 UTC

Yup. I had to fight a huge urge to rewatch and rewach and rewatch.

maddeinin January 20 2006, 16:18:54 UTC

I'm afraid I totally failed to resist that urge :P

dangermousie January 20 2006, 16:54:27 UTC

I failed to resist this morning before work :P

One forsees a horrid future for Fanny in which her husband speculates all his money away and she is left pianoless and with aged spouse in some horrid dump. Not that I dislike her or anything.

I did wonder how living with the mum was going to turn out - hopefully they get her a granny flat.

dangermousie January 20 2006, 15:55:37 UTC

Or maybe, Fanny will lose everything BUT the piano. I keep imagining the scene where they are in a tiny flat and there is no room for anything but the piano which Fanny insists on carting around. I do wish her moderate prosperity though, because Thornton, being a responsible man, no doubt will take care of her if she is broke and he doesn't need a millstone around his neck.

Re: Dear Old Mum. I wonder as she can't be the easiest person to live with. But I suppose she will me much nicer to Margaret than she's been because her two biggest problems were that she refused her son (and that's obviously over) and that she gallivanted with strange men at night (and either Margret or Thornton will set her straight the first time she brings it up). And of course, there is a huge trump of Margaret bringing all that money into the family and saving the business.

Because? I don't see her moving out except feet first. Luckily, the above plus the fact that Margaret isn't timid will get them through.

*laugh* Wow.

I haven't even watched it yet and I feel like I'm watching it with you. I feel like saying: "OK now describe the whole series to me".

Kind of like: "Dangermousie's audiobook/transcription of North & South for the Visually Impaired. And Koala". :P

dangermousie January 20 2006, 15:56:21 UTC

Heeee.

Yeah, I got a bit enthusiastic for it. Just a tad :P

ex_beautyof January 20 2006, 18:02:09 UTC

*raises hand* totally feel like that too, but its just makes me want to watch it even more hehe...

dangermousie January 20 2006, 18:06:29 UTC

You definitely should. It's soooo good.

I really loved the ending. It was so sweet and passionate and right.

The kiss. GUH!

dangermousie January 20 2006, 15:57:17 UTC

Oh yes. I don't care how odd it would have been for Victorians to kiss on train platforms. It so worked for me. Guuuuh, the wa he cups her face with his hands during The Kiss is the hottest thing ever.

crumpeteer January 20 2006, 20:13:33 UTC

How many icons of that kiss do you HAVE, girl?

You'll be happy to know that I just added the series to my Netflix queue. The guy who plays Thornton; quiet handsome in that severe British gentleman way.

dangermousie January 20 2006, 20:15:01 UTC

Just two. I just like using it :P

And very good at smouldering.

crumpeteer January 20 2006, 20:20:15 UTC

Funny how some guys can and some just...can't. That aspect has to do with how someone actually looks rather than acting. Some guys just don't have to try.
