  1. There’s an episode of Red Dwarf (“Beyond a Joke”, season 8) where the crew enters a virtual “Pride and Prejudice” simulator. It ends with Kryten blowing up Mr. Bingley’s gazebo with a Sherman tank. Highly entertaining. I know nil about costume accuracy.

  2. beautiful costumes, snark, knowledge AND Firefly references………………..I love you ladies! x x x

  3. How can you NOT like Toby Stephens as Rochester? He’s my hands down fave. Now I liked the idea of Michael Fassbender as Rochester, but I was too distracted by Mia What’s-Her-Face to enjoy that movie. She’s about as awkward as Kiera Knightley when it comes to period movies.

    But I digress….and head to my bunk to contemplate Toby Stephens’ smirk.

    1. Re. Toby S. as Mr. R.: He’s too damned handsome. Most screen Rochesters are. Charlotte Bronte carefully describes him as close to ugly (although we, Readers, know that he’s a man of the world, with all that implies). I’ve spent far too much mental time trying to figure out who could actually play Bronte’s Rochester. George C. Scott wasn’t bad, as I recall. Too old and too American, but he gets the character.

  4. While I’m ridiculously late to the party… even if it isn’t my favourite historical movie, or even the best- there is something about ‘Becoming Jane’; like most, I love Austen- & I have a closer connection than the average fan: thanks to my mother’s obsessive interest in genealogy, I learnt that we’re descended from the Austens- via one of Jane’s brothers – I don’t have the paperwork to hand, so I can’t remember which one.
    That scene tho… forget the sex- sometimes the seduction is the more fun part!
