You're watching Rome? I love Rome! I realize that it has many faults, yet none of them interfere with my adoration. Roman armor! Drapy clothes! Lucius Vorenus! OMG HOW MUCH DO I LOVE LUCIUS VORENUS. (How far are you in the show?)
I'm so sad it got canceled early. Not only did it mean that there were no more show, but it really messed up the pacing in season 2.
Um, but back to the actual topic. Yes! I love that Fanny remains principled, even though the deck is sometimes so firmly stacked against her. Her reservations about the theatrical scheme seem a little silly nowadays, but as she has them, I admire that she sticks by them.
I haven't seen a movie version of Mansfield Park yet, because I've heard they all rather vary from the book, but the 1999 version is the one I'd watch if I did. Fanny actually looks sweet and demure on the cover, rather than giving the camera a come-hither look like poor miscast Billie Piper on the 2007 cover.
