The reunion scene between Barnabas and Angelique could have been spectacular, but I sensed an immediacy to cover certain background information, leaving no room for meaningful dialogue. Or maybe Gordon Russell just wasn't up to the task, because I found the rest of the ep boring. I honestly feel that the Leviathan shark has been jumped.
Angelique: "Carolyn knew me as Cassandra."
Barnabas: "She won't recognize you. You had dark hair."
I recognized the piece Carolyn supposedly plays on the piano as Chopin's Prelude No. 7 in A major.
Red flags should already be raised, but when Jeb let himself into her house and barged in on her closed-door conversation with Quentin, the last thing that Carolyn should have done was comment about how unsurprised she was by his behavior.
Quentin: "Why don't we kidnap him and keep him away from the room?"
Barnabas: "Take my word for it, as risky as it is, my way is the best."
That's SO typical!!! Even though Quentin's plan might actually have worked, it always has to be Barnabas' way!
Jeb > monster anywhere, but monster > Jeb can only take place in the Room. I didn't know that.
That's backwards, MT. The monster can turn into Jeb anywhere, but Jeb has be in the room to become the monster.
Today we learned that Barnabas did consult with Julia about how to poison Jeb. How disappointing. I thought for sure that she would realize anybody who could grow from baby to man as fast as Jeb did would not be susceptible to ordinary poison.
At least that scene established that no amount of poison could affect Jeb, which explains why in this ep he was able to drink the drugged champagne along with Carolyn but was not affected by it.
Angelique's all ready to be spun off into a sitcom. I never could stand Bewitched,
Has LP as Angelique bitten her lip before, as she did when she opened the door and saw Barnabas? It seemed to be a Samantha-like gesture, but maybe I'm reading too much into it. At least she didn't say, "Oh, my stars!"
Has anybody here caused his or her own car to break down?
Nope, but I think I'd simply fake it, because as little as I know about cars, Carolyn probably knows even less.
