OMG, North and South.

I borrowed Books I and II from the library, on tape, and sat and watched it with my mom and sister some months ago after randomly catching a few episodes on TV.

It is SO EPICLY AWESOME. I cannot imagine what it must have generated among people watching it when it first showed. What we today call squee? Love for all the pretty actors and costumes and settings?

And seriously, who doesn't love Orry? :P

But I agree with you - sometimes beautiful friendship is just that, whomever it might be between. George and Orry, Charlie and Billy (whose friendship I just love), and to return to the comics verse (and the first example that comes to my mind), Dick and various people he's often 'paired' with (Roy, Wally, even Tim).

Yeah, they just don't make them like that anymore.

It's actually a lot more enjoyable than the books they were based on..(Which go in a completely different direction at the conclusion of the 2nd one-'Love an War' As if memory served I think they killed off characters that survived in the series..)

And as I remember it, when it was shown over here in the UK for the first time, it was a pretty big television event..(As was Jeffry Archer's Kane and Abel) But then back then that was pre-internet, dvds etc.. So given the subject matter and the excellent cast, I can only imagine the type of initial impact it had when it was first shown in the US.

So yeah I have very fond memories of it, and actually have more regard for it than Gone With the Wind..(Not to say that's a bad film, but I preferred North and South.)

And yeah a beautiful friendship shouldn't have to be downplayed..In the comics world I've always quite liked the regard between Thor and Captain America. I think it actually succeeds in being just that. Whereas with Supes and Bats, it does seem like the writers are quite often deliberately playing up the slash aspects of it...in a wink, wink, nudge, nudge type of fashion..

Oh and Scans Daily did introduce me to the delights of Stephanie and Cass in the bat books. That to me seems like a really nice female friendship..
