masterpiece theatre: emma

best post-football viewing: masterpiece theatre's latest adaption of emma. after one watches the afc and nfc championships, what's better than some good ol' jane austen goodness? congrats colts and saints!

okay it took a bit for me to get into this latest adaptation. i miss the translation that andrew davies did. romola garai plays emma with especially annoying spirit, more so than previous actresses, gwyneth platrow and kate beckinsale. there's a bit more set up for emma, jane fairfax and frank churchill than other versions i've seen. all in all, i'm excited to see the remaining parts 2 and 3. also, anyone wanna check this out with me?

I haven't watched this version of Emma yet. (But it's on my DVR.)

Thanks for sharing the link to the exhibit! If I was in NY, I'd go with you.

superbowl will be done in time for emma. i don't think r and company will like the drastic change of programming as much as i do.
