Oh yeah, laceup boots. I never forget shoes.

yeah, I know what you mean. At other times in the show it seems Quentin can be killed (the aforementioned Gerard example). I don't think they flat out said so either way.
Penthea, good quote, but "immortality" might also mean that he just won't ever age.
I think the concept of the painting absorbing injury is pretty cool though, and adds to the sickly mangled look of the old Quentin we see in the painting in 1970. My guess is that it protects him to degrees.
Connie, I've never heard about this aspect of lycanthropy outside of DS.
...
They probably made it up for the show. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know where else that particular legend comes from.
Jeb was terrified when Bruno said he'd do away with Chris while he was in human form, and explained to him why he mustn't do that.
Connie and Midnite, MWWADABDDS & MWADDBDDS - LOL! There are even more DS clubs than I thought!

Right, I don't recall if there's ever been any evidence in the show to support the idea that the painting actually prevents Quentin from being killed. Then again, maybe it does? I don't think they were particularly definite about it either way.

This raises another point however...
[spoiler]Can Quentin be killed despite the portrait? We know it keeps him from aging, but does it prevent him from being killed? I ask this because during Summer 1970, Gerard buries Quentin alive. The portrait saves him through its "heartbeat" warning, but would Quentin have died if he had stayed buried? They certainly played it off that way in the show. Therefore, if Quentin CAN be killed, and if the portrait was in fact there the first time around, then perhaps he was killed despite the painting, and the image in the portrait turned permantly into the image of a werewolf according to the DS werewolf rule mentioned above. So, does the portrait completely protect Quentin from physical harm?[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I assume Barnabas being in 1897 is supposed to have changed history, but how did HE actually do that?? I don't see how his being there brought Petofi there. Didn't Petofi show up because he was looking for his hand? (LOL - oy vey)[/spoiler]

No, you shouldn't be seeing posts with longer than 2 lines of dialogue since I said we would start removing them. The 1 or 2 lines refers to shifts in dialogue or action. We remove those because they're scenes, and the caption board accepts only captions. We know that many fans love to write and are accustomed to writing DS scenes, but the forums don't accept fan fiction on any board.
If it helps, this is acceptable:
character #1: blah
character #2: blah
This is not:
character #1: blah
character #2: blah
character #1 or #3: blah
And this isn't acceptable either:
#1 said or did blah. Then #2 said or did blah. Then #1 or #3 said or did blah.
We're not counting lines and removing posts arbitrarily. We're removing scenes, period.
Hope that cleared it up for you. smiley
I did a search:
