He also made the point that since Bing seemed to walk away so easily, his feelings weren't that deep. Remember that Darcy is used to Bing falling for a new angel all the time. Though I wouldn't call Bing a player, he does seem to have a history of being fairly fickle when it comes to relationships.

This actually makes a lot of sense to me. However, I am still frustrated by what the show is doing with Bing - for me, a big part of Darcy's characterization is that he takes responsibility for things – like, I think it's huge that after (depending on the version) having Lizzie tear him apart on the internet or declare that he's the last man on earth she'd ever marry, he realized that hey, she has some fair points, and gives her information that she should have (truth about Wickem). Plus, I think Darcy helps facilitate Jane and Bing's reunion? So I'm kind of wondering, pacing wise, why that hasn't happened yet.

In the book she never learned her lesson and she was stuck with Wickham forever - there's no way to do that plausibly in a contemporary setting.

Also, they've shown Lydia as too much of a sympathetic character for that ending to be anything but cruel.

I don't know how they're going to work around that part of the story in a way that's both realistic and true to these versions of the characters.

I'm hoping that that's one place were they really diverge from the book and go in an entirely new direction.
