WARNING: Spoilers below EPISODE 39 I still don't believe that this episode is the end. But something that this episode gives us is closure with Isabella. It also humanizes her in a way that you don't see in other adaptations. EPISODE 40 Okay. I'll accept this as the end. It's where the novel ends anyway. So John's stupid thing was he said that he was dating the future editor in chief because he believed that Cate was just going to be given it on the account that the Allen

EPISODE 33 And here is where things get messy with Cate and Henry. Cate's curiosity causes tension. Henry doesn't seem super upset, but you can see that he is hurt. And we get to see that Cate feels awful about it. Hearing the truth about Henry's mom sounds similar to the source material. But the writers seemed to find a way to make the General seem more human, I think. Not quite as cold as I remember him to be in the source material. I like that. It's always good to remember

EPISODE 27 Why does Isabella seem to be avoiding the topic of Frederick Tilney? And she seems quite unimpressed with him. I'm surprised at that. So much of this conversation looks like she is actually trying to down play everything. If I remember correctly, she was excited about this possibility of meeting him. I'd even go as far to say that she was swooning over him. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Could it be that she is doing this to keep Cate in the dark about

EPISODE 21 The audio seems to be struggling a little here at the beginning, but much better with the jump cut before Isabella enters. Less "here's what's coming". Isabella seems to have an idea as to what might persuade Cate into joining them for lunch, but her true colors of "life is all about me" are poking out a bit more. Only watching the videos that you are in? It totally fits the character, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. The crepe temptation was a bit mor

EPISODE 16 Opening Tech Notes: Cate is in focus limbo here. The features of her face are not in focus, which is a little weird because the background is also not in focus, but random things on the screen are in focus. It looks weird. So John just now knows that Cate makes videos? Or something had to have happened to make him care more now than before that she makes them? Was he really that oblivious to the small conversation that James and Cate had in episode twelve? It make

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Episodes eleven through fifteen. I thought about waiting and posting after episode twenty, but as we are actually getting into the story the reactions and reviews are getting longer. You can click on the "cmc" in the tag section of the post and find all of the posts on Cate Morland Chronicles. EPISODE 11 Cate is sick... Isabella video calls her... The set up for the mishaps with John has been created! Okay, I'm not excited about the stuff that is going to happ

AUTHOR NOTE: I decided to try to do an episode by episode reaction/review of the Cate Morland Chronicles. This is the first of many posts on this series. I don't know how many episodes have been created for the series, but I feel like if I actually waited until the end this post would be so long that unless you're truly interested in this series you'll probably not read all the way to the end. You still may not read all the way to the end. I don't know, I'm not you. In this p
