    The BBC one with Colin Firth is the 1995 mini-series. 5 parts. It is the best version I have ever seen. The Keira Knightly one has the problem you mentioned, of having to cram too much into too small a space. I also did not like the look of it as much as I did the 1995 series. It seemed, draber, dingier. While the 1995 series looked so lush and beautiful.

    Good man. I hope your significant other knows how lucky they are.

    The 1995 one is my favourite by miles!

    p.s. I am MasterOfNone on here, SubRosa, (Palantir on MR, and Dol Guldur on the Org) and I love the Sean Bean cavalry!

    I would know you anywhere old man, by your taste in film and classic literature, if not in cavalry!

    Edit: speaking of cavalry, the latest Bean Sidhe unit, completely inspired by MoN himself...

    If the Greeks at Troy had had Sean Bean Cavalry, the siege wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes, much less 10 years!

    I am not so sure, they did have Sean Bean Infantry after all...

    Yeah, but Sean Bean Infantry needs Sean Bean Cavalry complimenting it to be its most effective.

    I agree, the 1995 version is better than the newer one. David Bamber was especially good as Mr. Collins. Nobody else could have been so thoroughly disgusting .

    Indeed! He could turn any woman into a lesbian! Then again Colin Firth could turn certainly turn them back. Especially if there is a lake nearby...

    On the other hand, what I like about the new P&P is that they actually picked attractive girls to play Jane and Elizabeth...

    Did you watch the movie Valkyrie? David Bamber played a disconcertingly convincing Hitler.

    I did see Valkyrie, and on the whole I liked it, which surprised me as Tom Cruise movies are not typically my fare. You are right, he was a disturbingly convincing Hitler.


    In more general news, the Bean Sidhe are finished. Here are their starting territories:

    Now I just have to tackle turning the Britons into the Indie Celts, which will also include merging their unit roster and temples to some extent (maybe completely) with the Gauls. After that I might do some Amazon Auxiliary units for the Romans. Then I will release version 2.6.
