thoughts spurred by new BBC Emma!

One day, I'd like to post about these things:

1) The lecture I heard once on how Emma is a maturation of Sense and Sensibility.
2) The Gwenyth Paltrow Emma versus the Kate Beckinsale one (*waves flag for latter*)
3) How girls in period costume with modern accoutrement make me feel funny (a la here:
)
4) Whether Romola Garai looks like Katee Sackhoff, a la the great Connor // Jackson Browne debate.
5) How I miss good old days at Republic of Pemberley.
6) Me and Jane Austen! In particular: Emma
7) My hopes for the new BBC Emma, inspired via this picspam!

I know I know I know!!! I've been waiting for it; I can't believe I missed the casting announcement. Apparently it will be on this autumn.

It's going to be 4 parts, which is nice. Though I wish they'd do some Austen 6 parters like P&P. It really upset me that they shortened Persuasion so much (it was just feature length) when they did the recent--uh, redo. That story benefits so much from a slow unfold and every adaptation I've seen of it really doesn't do it justice.
