Oh, the kiss. *grimace* What the heck was THAT??? Totally stupid and senseless. Forget the fact that it's not in the book -- it doesn't make any sense!! Why would she want to kiss the guy she's chewing out? Umm....newsflash people, she hates him at this point in the story.....
I used to think that about AD, but now I'm not so sure. I think he's gotten a very big ego and he thinks that Austen's flawed (not that she's perfect, mind, but P&P *has* been called the "most perfect novel in the English language" by means of structure and concise story-telling) and that Andrew The Great is the only one to fix them. He's also gotten rather licentious IMO, what with Northanger Abbey and now Willoughby and Eliza. People liked Jane Austen long before AD was around to "spice" them up.
Speaking of disrespect for one's fanbase, Rupert Penry Jones sais something similar, and I haven't liked him since. :-P
Maybe a good excuse but not a good idea...the poor girl's sick!! She would most likely be highly embarassed.
