Interestingly, the scriptwriter for the series has said multiple times that that proposal scene was rushed in writing and shooting, and he wishes he could redo it.
However, I must disagree on Austen as inferior in love scenes. To me, descriptions of kissing and such in Austen's acerbic style would be very odd, and the understated/unstated passion is all the more powerful for being implied rather than shown.
