Macho posturing aside, Pride and Prejudice is a brilliant novel.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It's a lovely novel.  There are times when I wish *all* the dialogue weren't so elliptical.  It can get tiring.

And her other novels can be pretty dreary reading, at least the ones I've made an attempt at.

Good T&A, pirates are all pretty boys, too soap operish, I vote no.

definite YES!

season 1 is slow.  season 2 picks up the pace and by the end of season 3, you will be hooked and shocked!

This.  Season 1 was mediocre at best.  I think I only came back for season 2 because I thought the blonde was hot.  It definitely picked up though.

Flashdance is on TV. I feel empowered.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The male cast version of Ghostbusters is on TV too. I feel empowered.

So it's a good idea to skip s1 entirely? I watched 2 episodes and decided it was shit although I agree with Yi on the T&A.
