A couple more things with regard to Ep #7 ( Hour 8 ):
It's certainly interesting that the preview and the promos for the ep completely give away the ep's ending. The shot of Josette turning as she pulls down the hood of her cloak followed by Victoria stating "She's me" is exactly how the ep ends. One might think NBC wouldn't have wanted to spoil that, but apparently one would be wrong.
And revisiting Angelique's seduction, anyone who hasn't seen MPI's DS RESURRECTED VHS might be unaware that more was shot that didn't make it into the ep. The clips shared in reply #45 both end with Barnabas rising up and that's because there's an outtake on the VHS of footage that was shot of Barnabas lifting Angelique, carrying her to his bed, putting her down, and then moving down on her -
- but none of it was used. It may have simply been cut for time. Though given what the VHS clip shows NBC left out from what's included on the VHS version of Ep #7, perhaps NBC also felt the outtake footage was too sexy. Who knows?
