this introductory dining room scene is one of my favorite in the film. which is interesting since it's before either barnabas or angelique show up...
Well, as I've observed before, it seems very much like DS fans fall into two major categories: those who watch the show mostly for Barnabas, and those who enjoy the show as a whole. And I've never meant to imply that one method of watching is better than the other - it's just the way it seems to be. But for those of us who fall into the latter, this dining room scene is great chiefly because it's dealing with characters that we want to get to know. Though perhaps if you're a mostly Barnabas (and/or Angelique) fan, maybe the scene is boring as hell. I don't know.
