DARCY DAY

[rthstewart]

I can't stand it.  I just have to post about this.  Surely some of you are watching the LBDs.  Yes, some of it does stretch credulity.  But, I don't care.  Like Sherlock Holmes, I love P&P in its many, many incarnations; all of them, whatever their flaws.  Even the one with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier and the recycled Gone With the Wind sets and costuming.  So many things about the LBD have been great:  the multiracial look; the representation of Lydia that is compassionate and wrenching; increasing Caroline and Charlotte's roles; updating Charlotte's decision to "join" with Mr. Collins; the introduction of Fitz; the Enron folder; Ms. de Bourgh venture capitaltist; and Darcy as off-screen hipster.

And today, the LBD went there in a wonderful mash up of The Scene.  You know the Scene.  The LBD's both broke some new ground and yet also grounded the scene in the depictions we know so well, from book and screen. 

"What videos?"

Does Gigi have Twitter, too? Any other links I should know about (preferably text stuff rather than videos/podcasts)?

Thanks! This Darcy episode has me in full immersion mode. I just went back and rewatched all the stuff around the Bing/Jane breakup to see what machinations Caroline could be up to. Do we ever hear more anywhere about the "cryptic text" Jane mentions?

All the Tweets are here up through October 31, http://www.lizziebennet.com/story/twitter/
That includes fans who are berating Bing for running off to LA. I think that the cryptic text is a Tweet? Not a phone text? We've not seen any phone texts, so I assume it's a Tweet.

This evening there's been an exchange between Darcy and Gigi.

Fitz, https://twitter.com/FitzOnTheFitz
Gigi, https://twitter.com/ggdarcy/following (This includes the twitter accounts for her side of the story, Bing, Caroline, Darcy, etc)
And oh gosh, I realized that Bing unfollowed Jane!!! WAAAAH!
And George, https://twitter.com/TheGWickham
Kitty Bennet, https://twitter.com/TheKittyBennet
Lydia, https://twitter.com/TheLydiaBennet (who has everyone on her side)
Charlotte Lu, https://twitter.com/TheCharlotteLu/following (and that will get you Maria and Ricky too)

Oh, this stuff is crack. Pure crack. You are officially a drug dealer. I'm gonna need rehab before this is over.

WHAT! Bing unfollowed Jane...I'll go into a corner and cry now.

BUT the past couple of days there have also been this hilarious exchange of tweets from Rachel Kiley (one of the best trolls in the whole LBD team) where she posts passive agressive tweets at Darcy about him make passive aggressive tweets about Lizzie. And then the fans have to comment and it becomes this ridiculously meta discussion about whether Lizzie is aware of what Darcy is tweeting. (She certainly is aware he is following her.)
