watching the Lizzie Bennet Diaries

It's kind of fun. Lighthearted, quirky, entertaining. Very clever.

I'm only up to Ep40 so far and it's turning out rather addictive. I hear Ep84 just came out and the Twitterverse is set to #MAXIMUMFLAIL. (Yes I've read the book and seen the 1995 miniseries and the 2005 movie and I know what's happening but I don't know how they translated Lydia's Fall into modern terms, although I can guess. And that's part of the fun of this - working out which concepts they've shifted, which ones they've translated, and how they're doing it - as well as how effective it turns out.)

Curious question: does one have to start watching Lydia's VLog to get the parallel storyline from Lydia's POV?

Also, it's February! halfamoon! 14valentines!

Lydia's stuff's important, yeah. Or supposedly - I haven't seen them yet...

I saw the last one, and it's kind of heartbreaking in the light of that last LBD entry.
