And thus, another season of Victorian Romance draws to a close. Unlike season one, though, there’s no room for a third season - and, really, no need.
Did I absolutely love this finale more than I’ve ever loved any other finale before it? Well…no. But it did fit the series pretty well.
Did I cry a few times and get all gooey inside over the happenings? You bet your sweet ass I did.
How many times did I cry? Let us count them…
The US licensing of Emma was a bittersweet moment for me. On the one hand, I will now get to own this amazing series (both seasons!) on a DVD that I didn’t have to make myself. At the same time, though, this meant that Iichan dropped the series and would no longer be translating it. So how the hell was I supposed to know how it all ended?!?!?!
Cue panic and a lot of emo-weeping.
Well, luckily for me, another sub group opted to pick it up and finish out the series, giving me the strength to carry on. I’m still excited to be able to buy it on DVD when it’s finally released (you know, a few years from now…), but at least now I won’t have to wait quite as long for a resolution.
And so now I give you my few brief thoughts on the past three episodes.
Only one left and then the curtain closes on the second season!
(I just realized that I’ve completely skipped episode 8…but, uh…you know…whatever. Stuff happened, Emma was in it, William was in it, the end.)
Things are about to get a lot more complicated for our two star-crossed lovers. Emma’s mistress has up and moved to London, bringing Emma just a stone’s throw from her darling William.
Naturally, she’s depressed about it.
Look, I was going to do a big recap of all four episodes I’ve missed, but here’s all you need to know.
It’s a little funny how attached I am to this series, considering I’ve never been a huge fan of the Victorian romance genre of fiction. I’ve always found the plots insufferable, the heroines too cold, the “love” a little flat. I wanted to grab all the characters and shake them, while screaming, “just say how you feel! SAY IT!”
And yet here I am, absolutely enamored of this series and giddy beyond belief when I see a new release. I know it’s only the second episode of Season 2, but I don’t see my squeals of glee going away any time soon.
*squeal*
There was much waving of hands and girlish squealing when I found out that there would be a second season of Emma and even moreso throughout the entire first episode. (Technically first two episodes, but episode 00 is mostly a recap.) I’m excited beyond belief to get to watch these characters once again. Pardon my giddiness as we explore “A New House.”
