Finished North & South

[dangermousie]

Oh. My. Guh. I am a puddle of goo on the floor.



Horrid Fanny, come to beat her brother when he is down.

The look on Thornton's face as he realizes the man on the platform was Margaret's brother. OMG. He looks like a boy.

And he went to Halston without a cravat and got a flower and she went to Milton and then she sees him in the window of a carriage in an opposite train and guuuuuh.

And he gives her the Halston flower and he is so smiling and tender and relaxed (for the first time ever) and she tries to talk about business propositions and she is all flustered and then SHE KISSES HIS HAND OMG. *is ded*

And then he kisses her and it's the hottest kiss EVER and he holds her face and someone hold me up because I am on the floor.

And then she leaves and he turns with his back because he thinks he's lost her but she gets her bag instead and he sees her reflection and his whole face lights up and he asks her if she is going with him with this totally incredulous, sexy, tender inflection and guuuuh. If I wasn't dead before I am now.

And then they get on the train and there is more smiling and touching and OMG the best BBC drama ever.

Must. Rewatch.

Coherency? What's that.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction, too.

Best. Kiss. Ever.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

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

[maddeinin.livejournal.com]

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

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

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.

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.livejournal.com]

Heeee.

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

[ex-beautyof.livejournal.com]

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

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

You definitely should. It's soooo good.

[ex-beautyof.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it :)

[vierran45.livejournal.com]

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

The kiss. GUH!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

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.

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.livejournal.com]

Just two. I just like using it :P

And very good at smouldering.

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.

O, i re-watched THE END SCENE hundreds of times. In fact, usual scene in our household was at one time :
Me: sitting and re-watching it again and again
My husband: You are not watching it again, are you?

Thank you, as koalathebear said, i feel like i am re-living THE experience..

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I rewatched it this morning before going to work because I was all sleep deprived (courtesy of N&S) and it's like an instant tonic. I am going to rewatch it again when I get home, too.

[vierran45.livejournal.com]

It's just like I rewatched the first kiss in VM again and again on my DVDs :)... That is another great character and series moment.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I read the book by Ms Gaskell at university, but didn't know the BBC series, so thank you for another obsession :)

I ordered it on Thursday, it was shipped on Friday and I watched it on Saturday ... now I'm hooked - the acting, the setting, THE COSTUMES (OMG I love early Victorian).

Oh yes. I am so glad I was able to share N&S love. Amazing, isn't it?
