I'm kinda iffy on this...

I was going to watch the Pride and Prejudice 1995 mini-series tonight (that I bought today) but I forgot about both Criminal Minds and the premiere of SGU. Will watch it Saturday though. Frankly because I want to see why do many uptight Janeites like it so much. I figure I'll watch it and get it behind me than I can fairly say that I believe the 2005 is better than the 1995 mini-series, because from everything I've heard about it on the P&P 2005 IMDb board it was way overdone and the chemistry between the 1995 EB/FD was ice cold despite the fact they were in fact a pair at the time of filming. Who know maybe I'll like Mary. She is my second favorite Bennet sister (in a few ways but not every way).


It's possible I may like it but no one can replace my Mr. Darcy first in my heart that is Matthew Macfadyen.

Right now back to CM, I've already seen this particular episode earlier tonight so I'm wasting time until the next one.

BTW I find it extremely funny how many members of the Sense and Sensibility cast (1995) ended up in the Harry Potter movies.


ETA: 12:40AM EST-
If my theory is correct I shall soon see if a certain Austen site was the word "Janeite" set up with a news/blog keyword search. And no I didn't make this post just to test that theory. In fact I didn't realize it until just now that it could be a possibility.

Totally out-of the-blue SG-1 Random fic idea

I wish someone would write a fic where Daniel gets caught in a "Window of Opportunity"-like time loop where he and only he gets caught in a time loop. Post-Continuum is preferable. The purpose? The deal with his issues with Vala Ending with those two together at last. Who's to say Daniel doesn't give in once or twice to Vala's advances before admitting to himself he loves her (no one can convince me otherwise) and then by trail and error (all the while trying to learn of a way to get out of his time-looping predicament) trying to find out if Vala has feelings for him as well (of course she does!) And who's to say that a similar situation (like in Unending) didn't happen while Daniel was looping before he realized just how much he cares for her Why none of the D/V writers out there haven't come up with a story similar to this yet is beyond me.

Oh and one other thing..the SGU series and the "Destiny" don't exist. The 9th chevron is used for something else entirely (not needed in the fic, but hey it's my idea and if I say it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, lol!)


Wow fertile imagination for me tonight.

I've always known this to be true but....

today it's just been confirmed. io9 doesn't have any taste at all when it comes to good SciFi.

So I'm watching the Pride and Prejudice mini-series just now

...just beginning to watch it really. And right off the bat I'm rolling my eyes constantly at Elizabeth Bennet (JE) She's WAY too old to play Lizzy! Also she plays her in such a way that's repelled by/ Now KK's Lizzy Bennet is exactly how imagined her, not JE. and yes I got that out of the first few minutes alone.

ETA: Favorite Bennet sister in this adaptation so far? Mary.


ETA2: And from little I've seen of her, I adore Charlotte

UGH! Mrs. Bennet, I much prefer the less annoying 2005 version

Ergh! I think after this is over I may watch Emma (and I don't like Emma I didn't like the Gwenyth Paltrow movie , I admit I just watched it for Ewan McGregor. I loathe Clueless and I tried reading the book but I discouraged of how much "Emma" is an empty-headed ninny and I just gave up on it) just to erase most of this PP95 from my memory.


ETA3: How can anyone like this crap?

Don't get me wrong I love the Jane Austen book and the 2005 movie but the 1995 mini-series is pure crap. Way too much scenery chewing for my liking. Not to mention the stiff acting from both Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth! ERGH!

But Bingley? I like his almost as much as I do Simon's version *le sigh*

UGH!
