Well, I agree with you completely about Pride and Prejudice. I thought the cinemetography was actually one of the best things about the movie. And Kyra is beautiful, but too clearly the star of this vehicle to suit me, and the chemistry suffered as a result. I also don't like them messing around with Jane Austen, but I am trying not to be priggish about it.
As for Lost, I also agree that the metaphors are getting too heavy handed. Haven't figured out what Charlie's hood means, even thought they might as well have colored it in with highlighter and pointed to it with a big arrow that said "This is significant"! Are they trying to depict him as a monkish, holy man, or as a baddie?
Locke annoyed me throughout this episode, as much as I love him, for being so judgemental. But when Charlie stepped over the line, starting the fire and taking the baby, I forgave him everything when he clocked Charlie.

That was just cool!
But why "lock up" the heroin?
