I Netflixed it twice. I don't care for Joe Wright, even if Rosamund Pike is engaged to him. :-P
Darcy dropping off his letter at Hunsford is another irritation.....
I've seen the 1940 P&P but I really don't remember much of it, other than the archery and Lady Catherine's change of heart...;-P I was ready to throw things at Andrew Davies for writing a scene that he knew better than to include. I did hear that Elinor was supposed to be in the room but there were scheduling and costuming issues that prevented it. And as much as I dislike that, I don't think comparing P&P's "hero-in-the-sickroom" is the same as S&S's. In S&S, he has just saved her life, and they've been through a lot together, whereas Jane and Bingley hardly even know each other. Not to justify it, mind!! I'm just pointing that out. :-)
