It's hinted at, but how much do Professor Stokes and Cassandra know about each other? He seems to know something about the portrait of Angelique and Cassandra was his student right?
I vaguely remember Barnabas saying something about having to "clean up some papers" or something to that effect after Lang died. I assumed he was the executor of Lang's will, and therefore would have had to go through all of his stuff and pack it up and give it to his heirs or something - of course no heirs ever showed up.
I suspect you're thinking of his attorney Tony Peterson, who went to Lang's house to clean up his estate and seemingly was the only person to go through his papers for legal purposes. Of course Julia also went through his papers, and more, to learn how to perform the experiment.
I was thinking of when Jeff Clark went over to Lang's to look through his stuff, and Barnabas was there. I think Barn's excuse was that he was looking through his papers or something. He seemed to sound like he had the right to do that...I dunno. I just got the impression that Barnabas was in charge of tidying up Lang's estate (or at least that was his excuse for being around there so much). But I'm probably wrong ;D
I didn't care for what the actor playing Adam did with the character, he was just too arrogant and therefore unsympathetic.
i bitched about the 1968 episodes endlessly when i first watched them so i'll try not to repeat myself too much here.
one thing i will say is that with the adam storyline the writers for the first time very actively began to court those proverbial "kids that ran home from school" as it's target audience.the previous three storylines(laura,early barnabas,1795)had supernatual characters at their center but where in many ways plotted like traditional soap operas and with a more adult sensibility.this stuff is extremely adolescent.the tone is shrill,the plotting ridiculous,the pacing off and as has been said it is with these episodes that the show aquires it's "camp" reputation.i also find it terrible the way the original characters are handled here and it's no wonder many of the are gone by year's end.
i said when i first watched them i would never watch them again.i tried to give them a second chance recently thinking i might have softened on them but i haven't.adam stinks as far as i'm concerned.
I always think of Nightie-Fest '68, held outside Collinwood, attended by Angelique and Eve, in white and black respectively. Each had been three or four different "creatures".
I wondering if they were trying to get the young boys to watch with all those "Nighties"? ::)
