We Love Julia!
« on: January 24, 2007, 03:38:42 PM »
Although today is *officially* Cheap Insufferable Pig (in Lusciously Tight Trousers) Day, after viewing the day's slideshow I also feel moved to declare it "We Love Julia... let us count the ways" day!

We were graced with a truly wonderful snapshot of Julia and Barnabas together that beautifully expresses their relationship with one another (from today's 1969 episode) *and* an almost as fabulous portrait of Julia and Quentin from the Leviathan period!

Definitely a red-letter day for Julia-shippers!

cheers, G.

I would have loved to see Julia and Barnabas play the couple. I can really imagine them haveing a fight as a couple. That would have been great. There was just great chemistry.

I believe they had 'buddy' chemistry, but not 'romantic' chemistry.  Now Jon and Lara?  Yeah!  THEY had chemistry!  Just my 2 pesos...;)

Not sure I understand your question, but it has nothing to do w/HOW something is written, or how WELL something is written.  Chemistry is just something that IS, or ISN'T, there between two actors.  Watching Jonathan and Grayson I don't 'feel' romantic chemistry between them.  But when watching Jon and Lara I do, especially when they played Bramwell and Catherine.

Barnabas and Julia rule! [banana]

I always make it a point to at least watch one episode with the two of them together, whether as friends or enemies.

Totally love Grayson Hall. I finally saw "Night of the Iguana". I wasn't surprised that she had been nominated for an oscar.
I love what she did with her Hoffman character in DS. Nobody could have played it better'n GH. I also believe that GH paved the way for woman doctors of the time. She was confident and ballzee. Go Julia!
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

And here they are so that people will know what's being discussed even though the slideshow has changed:


1969: Ep #674 - Recent events lead Barnabas and Julia to suspect Chris is a
werewolf.



1970: Ep #935 - Quentin asks Julia to leave him alone for the time being to grieve
for Amanda (as all DS fans are surely doing).

Now, now - you know you were heartbroken when Amanda met her fate. You probably cried and cried for days and days...

Recently saw "Night of the Iguana" and was very pleased with it.  Love GH's performance!!  I also love Magda; watching the 1897 storyline and miss her tremendously when she's not on.  I enjoy Julia and Barnabas' relationship but find Magda's relationship with the vampire very refreshing... being different and all.  Love her defiance towards the vampire in the beginning.  I sort of wonder why Barnabas never bit her since he never had her completely under control.  Alas, Julia is the most well-known and popular role of GH's. [I have no complaints in that department.]

 [rofl10]  I haven't watched those episodes in so long I can't remember Amanda being "that" bad.  Others share your feelings though!!  One fan may just speak up sometime soon so I will not speak for her.  Most of the male fans I've heard from don't dislike her as much as the females.  I wonder why?   [idontknow]
