in some ways tonight's episode seemed like two different shows...
i didn't get a chance to post in last week's topic but david's "dream" involving daphne,carolyn and vicki was pure velveeta.tonight's opening scene at professor woodard's place topped that slice of velveeta with a nice dollop of cheese whiz.totally adolescent and camp.i felt really bad for the actor.
but the scene that introduced us to angelique was genuinely well done.scary and cool and sophisticated.strange this dichotomy.
deputy harker looks sort of like roger davis.he's kind of hot.
so here we get to the place where it starts to become clear that julia has feelings for barnabas.he totally plays into this.is he being manipulative or is he genuinely clueless at this point?how is it that julia is unaware that barnabas and vicki are an item?they don't seem to be trying to hide it.how does the family feel that their new governess is romantically involved with a family member?wouldn't this "upstairs/downstairs" type of thing be frowned upon in an old moneyed new england family?
i can't get into the whole barnabas and vicki romance.it rings false to me.
vicki gets some seriously "grannyish" duds in this ep.all that crochet and lace and that brooch!
ely pouget is hot but maggie needs some serious frizz control.
i like that people still smoked and drinked back then before the p.c. police started babysitting everyone.
laura.so david's mother is getting the big buildup here.so is her affect on him.i wonder where this is meant to go.strange that in the same episode that they introduce angelique they also give laura a shout out.it's sort of confusing.it's like who the heck is this "witch"?laura or angelique?
this came up in another topic but i don't remotely get a "mother/daughter" vibe from elizabeth and vicki here.it's not even hinted at.
i love the outdoor location that vicki and maggie get coffee.does anyone know where that is in california?
since vicki is already well acquainted with ghosts and vampires it's funny that she raises an eyebrow to maggie's claim to second sight.it's like the least of what she's heard lately but whatever.
i liked that the other characters got some focus this week and it wasn't just the barnabas show.i've decided that barnabas is the j.r. ewing of this affair.he sucks all the air out of the room.he's sort of exhausting.
