Couldnt Young Stringer (hunky, intelligent, loyal, hardworking and consistent) and Charlotte have found some happiness together?

Announcement: According to PBS and ITV, there are no plans to film a second season of Sanditon. I wonder what she's up to. Ive sworn, after each episode, of this Davies debacle that I wouldnt watch another one, but like the proverbial train wreck, I DVRd it and next day tuned right in: However, this time I read your review first, got a great laugh and finally enjoyed an episode without actually having to watch it!

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your analysis! ! :-D I mean, really, I would have been happier if it ended with episode 7.

The final crunch, sacrificing personal happiness for the sake of his brother, was a bit far-fetched, but I thought it showed him to be a better person than many of your readers seem to think, but that is why I think I commented earlier that I am now awaiting Further Adventures of Charlotte, because as in all good soapies, we were left expecting a great deal more there is no ending; it just stops, and you well, at least I we were left wondering what will happen next.

Due to the unfinished nature of the novel (Austen completed only eleven chapters . I hope I am not completely alone in championing Andrew Davies, he is a skilled and prolific writer and I quite like what he has done with expanding the brilliant first 11 chapters that Ms. Austen put to paper 203 years ago. If that had not happened would Lady D have even had a reason to survive to the next episode?

Does anyone recall a scene from Becoming Jane where she turns to her sister, Cassandra, and mentions that she will give all her heroines a happy ending in her honor (paraphrase). Wouldnt she at that point be as sharp-tongued as she was in her first balcony scene with him? Thats why it feels like a betrayal to people.

Thank you for your comment! And would-be adaptors of her stories today should either honor her intentions (clearly shown by her finished works, her letters, and oft-quoted let other pens dwell on guilt and misery) or just leave Jane out of it and write their own story.
