Today's eps. weren't too bad;
As always, I enjoyed the scenes with Angelique and Nicholas. The sarcasm between them is anticipatory and never a disappointment for me.
Are we to assume that Nicholas and Angelique knew each other before 1968? I missed Nicholas' introduction this time around and I can't recall the answer. Will someone please tell me if and how they knew each other before 1968? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone know why Nicholas is so into grey? (Loved that silk robe (smoking jacket?) he was wearing at the start of episode one.) Does the color grey have a specific meaning in the world of the occult? I know that certain colors symbolize particular things, as in the case of candles used in rituals.
Anybody notice that Nicholas' widows peak is receding?
They were very careful not to have Angelique's reflection appear in the magic mirror today, even though we did catch a glimpse of her shoulder at the very beginning of the scene. (BTW the MM didn't seem to be reflecting much of anything. Come to think of it, it seems to be stuck in it's transitional phase of blur.) But in episode two, they used the lab mirror to frame her face quite prominently - go figure.
A question for the ladies of the forum: Did they have smudge proof makeup in '68? I am wondering if Ange puts on her lovely makeup daily? Before or after rising from her coffin? Or if it is the original stuff she had applied before her transformation into a vampire? Just wondering.
Jeff Clark is one strange (and downright eerie) dude! He is the only vampire victim I can recall whose bite wounds disappear between meals! He also seems to have no reaction (weakness, confusion, etc.) to being drained of blood. It appears that he doesn't even know he's been bitten! Not only was he feisty with Ange after the bite but he hadn't a clue of how or why she had the power to control him. Very strange. Maybe it has something to do with where he came from and how he ended up in 1968. I hope time will tell, though I am not counting on it.
Carolyn's dress in Episode two was absolutely hideous.
Why all of a sudden is Eve's body strapped to the gurney? According to Julia, the corpse (can we call it that?) is on the verge of rotting. It's not like it's going to get up and flee. Perhaps it is a sign that the experiment is ready to go, it just seemed a little odd that all of a sudden she's majorly strapped down.
Adam really seems to be coming into his own. I actually enjoyed all his scenes today. I don't know if he is changing or if it is my attitude toward the character that is changing. I saw this storyline once a few years ago and I was so disappointed with the corniness of it all that I basically dismissed everything about it, watching halfheartedly. RR's acting was exceptional today, it really drew me in. I am even finding it hard to hate Adam anymore.
Me thinks that this separation between Jeff and Vicki is a good thing. Jeff has obviously been hanging out with the governess a bit too much as he blurted out several of Vicki's classic lines today - "I don't know," & "I don't understand?" And more than once! I didn't notice if he touched his hair though. I guess I'd better check the tally.
Nancy Barrett is gorgeous.

P.S. Some free advice to Adam who today proclaimed, "I don't wanna mate anymore!" Adam honey, DON'T KNOCK IT TIL YOU'VE TRIED IT!
