Gail Strickland did the VO? WOW! I thought it was Joan! My tapes are very old though and the sound is horrid. OH WELL...
I remember a discussion about this before and the consensus then among board cousins was that it was JB. And after listening to it again, I'm convinced that it was Joan.
When I said "eaten" I didn't mean it literally! Sorry for the confusion! I guess that wasn't the right word. I thought I saw her hand disembodied!??
If only DS had been that cool, but alas, the hand was still attached. As for saying she was eaten, it's no problem; isn't that why werewolves have the big canine teeth?
Ok, her logic seems screwy. Killing Quentin insures the kids escape the curse? One would think it would move it right to them. Even if the pentagram is used exactly as she says and does protect the boy, the GIRL didn’t get a pentagram, so she would still pass it on , whether or not Quentin is alive – which is what we saw with Chris back in 1969.
I think you're absolutely right, Pansity. Barnabas would know that Quentin's death wouldn't stop the curse because he witnessed future events, but maybe Magda was just not aware of this until he told her (B: "There's no escape for them now"). He ought to think about getting her a copy of
Curses for Dummies.
Also curious why she didn’t come haunt him before. If I remember right he killed her at the 1st transformation, and he transformed again the night after, which was the day she was buried. It took the ghost a whole month to find out who he was and come after him?
Maybe Dorcas' ghost didn't rise immediately, so she had to wait out a moon cycle for the werewolf to show up so she could learn its identity at dawn? No?
Has anyone heard elsewhere about the 15th century Frenchman who was cured of his lycanthropy?
Barnabas to Magda: "If his life is lost, so is yours."
It takes a very cocky man to threaten the life of the person responsible for guarding his coffin just before he climbs into it. If I were Magda and the werewolf died on my watch, I'd do some staking to save myself.
B to M again: "We'll think about it during the day and we'll discuss it later tonight."
Barnabas' mind is at work during the daytime?
One more B to M quote: "If we take him to the Old House at once, if we keep him alive until dawn, then Quentin Collins will awake whole and well, but if this creature dies, if he dies, then Quentin Collins dies with him."
Doesn't that sound incredibly familiar? Just replace "take him to the Old House" with
do the experiment, turn "whole and well" into
free and healthy, then substitute
creation for any references to Quentin or the creature and change the last part to
Barnabas will be as he was before and, well, you know.
OMG, the slide of Seaview Terrace isn't backwards.
In the Barnabasless 1897, did Magda shoot Quentin with a silver bullet? If so, how did he survive the night without Barnabas there to insist that the werewolf be cared for at the Old House?
Do you think Magda went to Boston in the original timeline?
