Yes, and Lizzy’s whole catatonic stare thing, and the almost kiss in the rain, and the dumb “intercourse” joke…
And I think you’re right about S&S 2008. I rather wish the scene wasn’t there, but it makes more sense than in P&P 2005. Additionally, you get the sense that Andrew Davies cares about the source material and the era. Joe Wright seems to like Jane Austen okay, but only his version, and he outright despises both the period (at least fashionwise and manners) and thinks the fans are stupid (and who, might I ask, is watching your movie?)
Although, who wouldn’t want to see more of Jane Bennet? :-) Just saying that Bingley has good motivation to break protocol.
