Excellent, Bella! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
One of the favorite parts, besides the eye candy and excellent romantic tension, is the cinematography. Those scenes in the mill are incredible. And how different locations have different color schemes (dark industrial Milton; golden hues in Margaret's hometown).
And how about that last scene at the train station? First time I saw it my brain sublimated. It did not melt, it vaporized. Up until the fourth and final episode my main reaction to the romantic angst was along the lines of: "Yeah, I see where this is going, pass the snacks, please." And next thing I knew my brain was vaporized.
One of my favorite bits is how John Thornton spends most of the miniseries buttoned up and very stern looking. And in the last scene he is pretty disheveled, his normally starched collar is loose, the cravat and the coat are gone. And he SMILES. Which is so beautiful, especially since he rarely does so throughout the series (with possible exception of one or two scenes with his mother). Ok, I'll stop now.
Bella, how did you feel about Margaret's character? I read the book, and she's more developed there, so I can't really evaluate her in the miniseries. By the way, she has some gorgeous scenes as well.
Tara, sorry for hijacking your thread.
