The end of an era
We have robins! And daffodils! The recent snowpocalypse decapitated many of the daffodils, sad sad, but fortunately many of them had not bloomed yet and those are beginning to come along.
It is SPRING!
And also the end of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I am sad it's over, but all good things must come to an end. And anyway...
LIZZIE'S MOTHER SHOWED UP AT THE END. Ha ha that was perfect, such a great way to bookend the series.
And I liked that it happened after Lizzie had decided to end her diaries: it would have been utterly anticlimactic for her to end them because her mother found out. Having the diaries end because Lizzie a) feels she's reached a natural conclusion and b) thinks maybe the diaries have caused some of the drama that year, shows her character growth much better.
And cameos by Lydia and Charlotte, yay! Lydia still seems sad. I feel like Wickham has really damaged her, in a way he didn't manage to in the book - I think because he never betrays her trust like he does in LBD - he was planning to seduce and abandon her, but Lydia doesn't know that and is totally delighted to be the first in her family to get married.
But Charlotte has become the head of Collins and Collins! Maybe she will move it out to San Francisco to be close to Lizzie and Darcy? I like this idea. (Unless C&C was already in San Francisco? Sometimes I get confused about details.)
