Does anyone else thinks that this movie is like "The Truth About Jane" but less gay???

"The scientific method is the only way to find objective truths" and "all systems run by humans are prone to corruption" are two statements that do and must coexist.

This just made me realize that Stockard and James did play husband and wife before this date

Remember that time that Miranda’s husband was Dr. Barnes’s date?

One of the few parts of Wickham's alleged backstory that I find purely comedic is his whole deal about how right before his father died, Darcy's father promised to provide for young Wickham, because he was just so grateful to Wickham's father as well as loving young Wickham so much.

—but in the letter, Darcy (without having heard Wickham's account in this case, beyond what Elizabeth threw at him in the rejection) mentions in passing that Wickham's father outlived his. His father did voluntarily recommend giving Wickham the living in his will, so Wickham isn't lying about that, but the whole dramatic deathbed promise thing is pure theatrics and Wickham's father didn't actually die until after the late Mr Darcy was already dead.

His own father did not long survive mine; and within half a year from these events Mr Wickham wrote to inform me that, having finally resolved against taking orders, he hoped I should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more immediate pecuniary advantage...

The fact that there are so many lore inconsistencies in Dr Who is sometimes a good thing actually because it means I feel justified in having headcanons that vastly and grossly contradict show canon. If the writers can ignore things they don't like why can't I.

also i think i would like jesse to tell demi about jane at some point in their relationship. i go back and forth on what details he would feel comfortable divulging, but i think after hearing demi talk about her sister and her death, he would feel somewhat okay talking about jane eventually. i think it would be a relief to him in some ways. to finally tell her Something about his past and to get to spread jane's memory to someone else, because part of him worries that jane and all the best parts of her will be forgotten. he wants to talk about her and keep her alive :(

beardjane being framed as a joke/punch line in every episode they've talked about it/shown it...except for beard after hours...because that's the ONLY episode from beard's perspective...

Always a bit fucked up when people in the audience bash on certain character types I and others can relate to due to shared character traits of introverts or due to trauma / mental illness or even neurodivergent symptoms....

It's one thing when characters in the series do that for not knowing the full picture and not understand why that character is so reserved or scared and then misread it (often btw a learning plot point). But we in the audience usually know those details but then reading people still hating on those characters... just tells me you would hate me too.

Lmao just dipping my toes in that Blake movie drama and yikes on bikes it seems ore intriguing than the movie itself lmao

[mydrias-is]

i love The Fly episode. does it move the plot forward? no.

does it work as character study for walter white and his controling nature clashing against the newfound reality that he lost every inch of control over his life, was duped into working under someone else's boot forever and finally reached the point of no return? u tell me

Meanwhile, I'm over here spending entirely too much time thinking about the fact that sneezing is an involuntary reflex unique to the body rather than the self, so the only reason why Joe should be sneezing at that very moment in his shiny new body is because Joe the model has the same quirk in his nervous system. 🤔

It took me a long time to realize this because, but the conversation between Lady Catherine and Elizabeth is rude, but for the most part, Lady C is not wrong.

“Why did not you all learn? You ought all to have learned. The Miss Webbs all play, and their father has not so good an income as yours. Do you draw?”

“No governess! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home without a governess! I never heard of such a thing. Your mother must have been quite a slave to your education.”

“All! What, all five out at once? Very odd! And you only the second. The younger ones out before the elder are married! Your younger sisters must be very young?”

Yes! They all should have learned and they probably should have had a governess. Especially Lydia and Kitty. The other heroines without a governess (Catherine Morland, possibly the Dashwoods) do have very attentive parents who manage their education. The Bennets don’t have dowries, they could at the very least be educated. It’s far less expensive.

And yes! It’s insane to have five daughters out at once. Even if we just look at it from a financial standpoint, that means five girls need ballgowns and adornment all at once. Families usually put only one or two girls out because of the prohibitive expense. And then we have of course the fact that Lydia is probably too young to be out anyway.

Elizabeth defends her family’s choices, kind of, or at least gives an explanation, but not allowing her family to be dragged through the mud is different than saying her upbringing was correct. And even if she kind of agrees with her family’s justification now, she certainly realizes how devastating these choices were later.

And yet, because Jane Austen is so clever, Lady Catherine is still a rude idiot. A good deal of what she says even during this conversation is ridiculous and condescending. But that is the genius of Austen, she sets up this argument so you get on Elizabeth’s side, even though Elizabeth is wrong. Which is the same as with Caroline Bingley’s warning about Wickham, we discount it because we dislike her and she sneers, but in her speech is the truth.

It’s a nice parallel with Darcy’s first proposal. He’s not wrong, but he is still a rude, condescending jerk about it.
