Current Talk '07 II / Re: December 16th - The Best Of Times, The Worst Of Times
« on: December 19, 2007, 09:08:10 PM »Interesting.... Barnabas just sort of lapsed in his evil, for no discernable reason, at one point. Threats to Julia, I know, but the Leviathans' control became a little weak and puny toward the end. Good Barnabas shoehorned back in because of DC's panic over ratings?
Exactly. And because they'd already shot some shows out of sequences before the decision was made to drop the Evil-Barn, Barn flip flops from Evil-Barn to Good-Barn back to Evil-Barn and then back again to Good-Barn in the space of a few episodes.

It's always strange to me when a series chooses to start undermining the threat from its antagonists. Another example is when they all suddenly find out that the Book has been saying all along not to kill anybody, ever, because ghosts are their worst enemies. Of course, later, it turns out that werewolves are. Man, did he pick the wrong town! Jeb I mean. The Leviathan People seem to be the Bubble Boys of the supernatural world.... now I'm imagining Jeb giving some tough, threatening speech to Bruno, but he stops and points to a corner of the room and screams, because he just saw a leprechaun or the alien from the Flinstones, or something.
Hmmm, leprechauns might have been perfect. After all, Leviathans did wrap up in March. If only you had been on the writing staff back then to suggest it.
