Emma

Dear intertubes,

Thank you for making it easy possible to watch a show in sync with someone halfway across the world.

Love, Fu

I just finished watching Emma with aveleh! :-D Much much much squeee. We split it across several viewing sessions, constrained by time on both sides and slow internet on my side. She had to basically give me a cliffs notes version of who was in which scene and why stuff was important, because I had a really difficult time telling John Knightley, Frank Churchill, and um, Mr.Knightley Knightley*, apart (among others). But but sooooooo much love for when... oh um is it a spoiler to say? Well, um. ANYWAY.

It was fun ^_^

* I cannot remember his first name for the life of me

George.

It is used all of... twice in the book before this scene after they're engaged:

"'Mr. Knightley.'—You always called me, 'Mr. Knightley;' and, from habit, it has not so very formal a sound.—And yet it is formal. I want you to call me something else, but I do not know what."

"I remember once calling you 'George,' in one of my amiable fits, about ten years ago. I did it because I thought it would offend you; but, as you made no objection, I never did it again."

"And cannot you call me 'George' now?"

"Impossible!—I never can call you any thing but 'Mr. Knightley.' I will not promise even to equal the elegant terseness of Mrs. Elton, by calling you Mr. K.—But I will promise," she added presently, laughing and blushing—"I will promise to call you once by your Christian name. I do not say when, but perhaps you may guess where;—in the building in which N. takes M. for better, for worse."

Hulu sooo could totally be liked if they had a "sync this video" option.

It would make it so much easier then doing it manually, and etc.

(It would be pretty easy to write an app if one had the exact same file to sync though without using a site)

Were you watching the Gwyneth Paltrow version?

Isn't Romola Garai so LOVELY. I couldn't stop watching her; she's the most expressive Emma I've ever seen. (And now I am downloading every period piece she's been in hahaha.)
