The replay of the scarf scene between Barnabas and Julia is always amusing: the second time around, Barnabas doesn't pull it off Julia's neck; he politely unfolds it. I like to think that in the original acting of the scene in yesterday's episode, when Frid pulled the scarf off of Hall, he practically strangled her in the process, so he went a little easier on her today.
The scene after the opening title was something that I need to watch again. (Not now, some other time: in the Watching Project my idea is to watch an episode once and go on, as was done when the show originally aired.) There's Julia, quietly telling Barnabas what the status is. No tears, no theatrics. Later, she after the confrontation with Adam, she put her hand on Barnabas's shoulder, and I thought: she has the freedom to do that now that she doesn't want anything from him.
Ever since that flip-flop scene in the drawing room the other day, I've been having trouble with Jeff Clark. I just don't want to see him on my TV screen. And didn't he look foolish, attacking a man who was much bigger and obviously far stronger than he was!
Adam was annoying as usual today. He's a lot like what 1967 Barnabas was: "Do as I say and don't bother me with the details." Adam's still just a sulky kid. It's reasonable to assume that his mate-in-the-making will start out every bit as childish as Adam is. What a circus that relationship will be! "Barnabas, I hate my mate and it's all your fault!!!"

I noticed that, too, Lydia. It was more dramatic, and I liked it better, the first time, when he ripped the scarf off her neck! [ghost_wink]
When Julia told Barnabas she was too weak to work on the experiment during the day, I had the thought, "Well, Julia , you can do the work at night, then!" I'm surprised they didn't think of that! [ghost_smiley]
It was rather silly for Jeff to fight Adam; he had no chance to win against him. When Jeff fell on the grass, there was a blooper when it crumpled up, which obviously gave away the fact that the grass was fake. [signerror]
I agree that Adam was being his obnoxious self. He was acting like a spoiled kid. [tantrum]

After Barnabas' outburst of concern he got his emotions under control.
When will Barnabas nail shut or lock the front window. I just started laughing when Jeff climbed through. it is almost like Barnabas wanted someone to find out.
The lighting in the basement was great. This is always one of my favorite story lines.
Julia standing behind Barnabas with her hand on his shoulder. Like she was supporting him when he should have been supporting her.

Ooh, nice, lori54.

A masterful piece of misdirection or disinformation on Barnabas's part... no one would ever think that a man so lax about keeping his house locked would ever have a horrible secret in the basement! He's doing it to throw everyone off! And it's working beautifully right now!
What are the odds that a man would have two completely different horrible secrets in his basement, in a row?

Hey we are talking about Dark Shadows.

Well, in that case, he should have had a couple dozen horrible secrets down there! Wait, maybe he did.... I forgot about Trask One...

How many hysterical calls for help do you suppose the sheriff has received from Collinwood over the years? I can just imagine his reaction: "Good grief, there go those crazy rich people up on the hill again. What do they DO up there?"

I wonder what they would do at Collinwood with speed dial?
