A recent article in the LA Times about True Blood's sexy vampire and his devoted fan base, most of them females, inspired this letter from Jim Pierson:

see: The blood lust goes way back

The original article:  'True Blood' devotees are thirsty for more

Bill's babes doesn't have the same ring as Barnababes, doncha think?  

Please don't ask me why this feedback column is dated June 14...

Never saw one in Burke's room.  You might be thinking of his P.I.'s room, but that was in Bangor.

Naturally Barnabas thinks it's all about him and blames himself for Rachel's death.  Rachel was foolish enough not to run when she's sees a coffin in  an old basement.

I always assumed that Barnabas was referring to Dirk's threat and impossible demand when he blamed himself for Rachel's death, but it hit me during tonight's viewing that when he added, "[I failed her] the same way as I have with every woman I ever loved-- by being what I am," he was referring to Angelique's curse and that everyone who loved him was destined to die.  And oddly enough, making Rachel a victim of the curse, despite her own foolishness, does seem to make sense.

Barnabas to Magda:  "I know that you would gladly lie to save your neck."
Ha!  Literally too.  

At the start of Carl's dream, there was yet another blooper of someone scooting past the camera, sigh.

Barnabas to Pansy (referring to Carl):  "He's the brightest of the lot."
Since it was his dream, is that really what Carl believes?  Really?

I am a Kay Frye fan!

The author thinks a room in the west wing hurtles you into PT, but no, that's the one with the hot ghost. 

From that original topic:

Unfortunately, the owner of that vid no longer has an account with YouTube, and the email address in their profile on the Forums is hidden ...

That Gregory-- so devious and sure of himself (he sure pulled that gun out fast as soon as Tim showed his face!!) and quick on his feet at fabricating stories and coming up with a convincing argument.  Now I'm thinking that he probably used Tim's escape with Rachel as an opportunity to murder his own brother-in-law and frame Tim for it.

Barnabas must have I Chinged a modern casket back to 1897.

I loved Tim's should-I-stay-or-should-I-go? routine in the foyer when Gregory got on the phone.

Gregory (about Minerva):  "She was a very understanding woman."
 

Carl (about Pansy):  "She's ... refined, cultured.  She's English."
Well, he got 1 out of 3 right.

There’s serious irony in Trask’s line “it’s easy to accuse, Timothy but harder to prove.”  Isn’t that just the kind of circumstantial evidence he has against Tim? Nothing but HIS word that it’s not a natural death.

I think Gregory's phone call showed that his word has sway with local law enforcement.  If the reverend/headmaster says it's so, then it's to be believed.  Tim wouldn't stand a chance against that.

NO one questions music from a gramophone in either the Old House or the cemetery.  Is it supposed to be a clue they’re ignoring that it’s a spook?  Or  did the production people just not think to have her sing the music a capella?

She WAS singing a capella in the Old House, just humming the music.  Adding the musical accompaniment to the graveyard scene may have been intentional, perhaps to make it a little creepier (as if a cemetery isn't creepy enough ), or maybe to show how Carl was able to figure out she was dead.

I'd like to add the children to the lists already given of people that should have attended Rachel's service.

It's great to see you posting, Robot Quentin!
