Vampire Angelique's Reflection
« on: July 05, 2008, 04:47:20 PM »
How is it that Angelique can see herself in the mirror when other vampires couldn't?  Is it because the mirror is Nicholas' that he made it so?

I think it was just a total goof -- a blooper. When she looked into the mirror, it wasn't so she could see herself. It was so she could find out what was going on in the basement of the Old House with the experiment. That she was reflected in the mirror was accidental, but very visible to us in that it was WRONG! LOL. [ghost_cheesy]

Doesn't the same thing happen in a mirror in the lab?

Yes, I think Jeff even spots her in it. [ghost_cheesy]

And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Well I thought she wasn't a witch anymore, just a vampire. So how could she have the power to find out
what is going on through the mirror? I never known vampires to do something like that.

Yeah, and also how did she have the power to

send Eve back in time temporarily

I'll bet Barnabas would have liked to have that power as a vampire...

Yes but still where did she get the power to look into the mirror? Can a mortal do the samething? I
thought the mirror was under Nicolas power.

Yes, it was self-service for anyone apparently.

It was the same mirror Miss LuAnn used at the end of Romper Room to see all the little tykes out there in TV land who were watching.  "I see Tommy, and Susie, and Mikie, and Mary..."  I remember when, on occasion, she would say my name and I'd run into the kitchen shouting "Mamma!  Mamma!  Miss LuAnn saw me!  She saw me!"

She never saw me on Romper Room.  I waited and waited, but she (I remember Miss Jean, not Miss LuAnn) never did.

Midnite's right (of course!), they had fun showing Angelique in the mirror in the lab in the Old House basement.  I think the very-powerful Nicholas must have given Angelique an alternate strain of vampirism so that she would be more aware of her plight than the average vampire was, and the ability to see herself in a mirror was part of the package.

I always wondered how in the heck could Angelique see herself in mirrors once she had become a vampire? Maybe she was a bit half-witch/half-vampire and her witchy side enabled her to see herself and use Nicholas' mirror? [ghost_huh] I'm stretching here, I know. [ghost_undecided]

If she needed and had witch poweers to use the mirror, couldn't she have made one of her own?

If a vampire spray painted his/her own face first, could she/he see itself in the mirror?

Hmm, interesting question.  Barn is the one vamp that we know for sure doesn't have a reflection (the majority of the time, anyway) and we don't see his eyeliner.  j/k  But we don't see his clothes either.

ALL the Vampires on DS showed reflections in mirrors ... unless somebody was out to prove they were a vampire, in which case, they didn't (for about ten seconds).

I remember one of the first technical details I learned about DS was how heavily the cameramen and directors relied upon shots done in mirrors.  It helped open up what was really a very restricted amount of space in the studio.
