I meant to post something about this a few weeks back when I was actually WATCHING the episodes, but alas, I forgot.
Anyway, during the 1897 episodes where Kitty is [spoiler]realizing that she is Josette,[/spoiler] that flashing back and forth between Kitty and Barnabas' portrait and Kitty and Barnabas' portrait and so on and so forth, IS REALLY ANNOYING. Not only does it hurt my eyes when they do it several times in a row, but I just can't stand it!!!!
And then, when we get back to 1969 and we THINK that it's over, oh no. Julia [spoiler]thinks Barnabas is alive[/spoiler] and before she rushes to the Old House we have this whole Julia-looking-into-the-camera-while-Barnabas'-portait-flashes-us.
Who knew that a portrait could actually FLASH you, or that it could be so damn annoying.
