My drive-by reaction to Persuasion:

Sam West's Mr Elliot is too loveable. Not scammy enough, really.
Also, he does this thing. This eye thing. This... intense thing. It's just ... a thing. And it makes me afraid my mini tv is going to combust. Wtf, he makes Jane Austen dialogue rawr. How does that happen?

Also wtf, she's (Anne) hanging out on his (Wentworth) boat? Since when? Did I miss this in my two readings? Makes no sense.

Now, I write. Austen-y boat stuff. Mwahah.

Then I read, because I'm on page, like, three-oh-something and freaking out. Why must life continually interrupt my escapist bliss?

Admittedly, I had forgotten even about that, so snaps to you for calling me on it

I've got large chunks of Austen semi-memorized. Makes discussing them easier. :)

I needed something to whine about and go detail-twitchy on.

Perfectly reasonable.

Me, I'm sitting here being traumatized that my biggest early-20s crush (Mr Darcy as played by David Rintoul) grew up to be Dr Clive from Mutiny and Retribution.

I mean... that's.... that's... just wrong.
