The sounds which issue from my own sinus strugglings forced sympathetic feelings in my heart sooner than I expected. <br /><br />I'm glad I watched the entire series online last Saturday in a Little Dorrit marathon. I picked up on a lot of the clues and nuances I missed during the first airings on PBS, distracted as I was by moving. <br /><br />Rigaud's amazed doubletake at his first encounter with Jeremiah Flintwinch mirrored my own astonishment from the first time I watched it, when I missed the fact that Rigaud had actually murdered Flintwinch's near-identical brother, not Jerry himself. <br /><br /><br />@Sandra Leigh<br /><br />The ending of "The Old Curiosity Shop" was altered enough from the book to wring a bittersweet story of redemption instead of Dickens' original utter tragedy.MacSmileyhttp://www.twitter.com/MacSmileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-35021720131484090572009-05-04T19:54:00.000-04:002009-05-04T19:54:00.000-04:00If it weren't for my neurotic aversion to noises l...If it weren't for my neurotic aversion to noises like that produced by Panck, I would have voted for him - and if not for that same neurotic aversion, I would probably have been able to sit through last night's "The Old Curiosity Shop", as well - but between the thoroughly depressing plot and the near-constant chorus of oyster slurping and apple (?) crunching, I had to turn it off.
