I confess that there are things I like about the hatchet-job, but all that mushiness at the end is not one of them. Funny how it went rushing to the opposite extreme, isn't it? :-) From not even a touch in the miniseries, to eating each other's tonsils in the movie!
"Methinks Jane couldn't write good love scenes because as a spinster who was never around men, she didn't know how one would go, since they didn't have television in those days..."
I can understand that (I can even identify with it). I can't help wishing, though, that she'd gotten a married friend or relative to share a few tips! She'll write something like "She said just what a lady ought to say" or "He expressed himself warmly," and I'm all, "JANE, YOU ARE BEING COY AGAIN. STOP IT."
