osprey_archerLizzie Bennet Diaries, Episode 91:
First: the return of costume theater, hooray! I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it until Lizzie put on her big puffy Mom hat and a southern accent. I hope we have much costume theater to look forward to.
I also hope Lydia comes back soon, because the longer she stays away, the harder it will be to return. Time to get back on the horse, Lydia!
Jane & Lizzie both think they need to give Lydia space, but...while it's pop culture approved, I'm not sure if that's actually the best idea in this case. After all, giving Lydia too much space is one of the reasons she turned to George in the first place: she felt alone and unloved. While probably they're right that they shouldn't pressure Lydia specifically about being on web-videos, I do hope they're dropping by her room with mugs of tea, offers to watch movies, and gentle but insistent reminders that they love her and want her to come out of her room so they can distract her from her moping.
One of the things I like about Lydia's story in the book is that she emerges indomitable from an experience that, by the laws of eighteenth-century fiction, should have wrecked her reputation and probably resulted in her death. I hope LBD Lydia manages a similar trick, and comes through this with her verve and energy intact.
And finally - Jane is moving to New York! For an exciting fashion job! Eeeee! I still expect they'll get her and Bing together somehow, but you know, maybe they won't...Either way, I'm excited to see what happens!
Or maybe Bing will transfer to Columbia. How does Bing get all this time away from med school, anyway?

Date: 2013-02-26 11:37 am (UTC)I didn't take it as Jane and Lizzie giving Lydia space, but rather respecting that Lydia wants to give the internet some space. And Lydia said something about not wanting to be left alone in her last appearance, so I really hope Lizzie took that to heart.
I'm not sure how Jane moving to New York fits in with the whole Bing being back in town - unless she's not moving straight away, or this forces her and Bing to be a bit more definite about where their relationship is going? But regardless, I'm glad it seems like Jane is going to get a happy ending which is about more than her love life.

But I also am glad that Jane is getting a happy ending about more than just her love life.
