I've posted before about how I think one of the most unintentionally hilariously absurd moments on DS is when Vicki faints dead away on the floor in Ep #366 upon learning the year is 1795 and all Nathan, Naomi and Barnabas do is stand there for a multitude of seconds merely looking down at her on the floor:
Well, imagine my surprise today when Barnabas actually bends down to try to help Quentin in Ep #1015 after he collapses on the drawing room floor:
What was Barnabas thinking?! Didn't he recall that for the best dramatic effect one is always supposed to simply stare down in shock whenever someone in the room falls to the floor right in front of you?
