There is so much to talk about, I found it difficult to decide what to include when doing it in one post. I'm with Sula and Kristie (J), the extended proposal scene works better.<BR/><BR/>One question: how can you stand to watch it the way you do? I couldn't, I really couldn't. :)<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your next comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-10656713862890913602008-07-06T10:35:00.000-05:002008-07-06T10:35:00.000-05:00I know, Dev - I'm going to buy this for sure!

Once I started, I couldn't stop until I'd watched it at least 3 times over the weekend. Of course, I'd gotten it from the library so I had to immediately rush to amazon.com and buy my own so I could watch it whenever I wanted to. And I've watched it a lot. Of course, not as much as Kristie. But then again, I don't think anybody could watch it as much as Kristie :-)Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719293114461054932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-70234358635034734152008-07-06T09:31:00.000-05:002008-07-06T09:31:00.000-05:00Marg: That is a really good point!

I am MORTIFIED! <BR/><BR/>LB: Oh, so sweet, I love you too! But I am going to have to do what it takes to stop you from that slash.<BR/><BR/>KJ: Oh, totally, I meant to write about that scene with the mother where he tells her he was right that she won't have him. I love what you say, though I didn't get it so clearly, but yes, he truly believes he isn't good enough for her. This richens the drama for me!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I know I'm watching it slowly. I'm a savorer.

And like Sula I'm wondering how on earth you manage to not watch everything at once!! What will power you have.<BR/>And the proposal scene - such PASSION from John!! "I don't wish to marry you to posses you. I want to marry you because I love you!!!!"<BR/>*shiver*<BR/>And then when he's talking to his mother after. It was soooo sad when he said nobody loved him.<BR/>It wasn't until I'd seen it a few time that I realized he TRULY believed he wasn't good enough for her.<BR/>And again what Sula said - watch the extended proposal scene. Margaret thought he was only proposing to stop gossip. I think by the time she realized how much he really did care, she had second thoughts but she'd already stuck her foot in it too deep.<BR/>And one clarification - cause it helps later - Henry Lennox wasn't a doctor - he is a lawyer.<BR/>And you will see that it is a journey for Margaret. I won't say too much - but she continues to defend John. And when he does what he does - well I can hardly wait to hear your thoughts on that.

There is an extended proposal scene that gives just a little more to Margaret's response (she's still mean and cruel but you can kind of see a little more of why).<BR/><BR/>The look on John's face when he sees another man's coat in the doorway. *sob* Oh it is going to get worse for him before it gets gloriously, blessedly better.<BR/><BR/>i so cannot wait for your reaction to episode 4.
