Robservations #1026
-
What did Hoffman say before ECS told her she'd handle Maggie? ** I guess Barnabas is living in his ball costume now... Oh great Barnabas, just the thing to say to Maggie when she's agonizing over Q never getting over Ang... "In a way, I think you may be right... more right than you know." Then he walks out! Maybe he should have opened the window back up again for her too!
Talking to Ang, as he leaves, Barnabas emphasizes "Mrs. Collins", referring to Maggie... he's enjoying being a transdimensional know-it-all. He has power over portraits and people's eyes....?! I think Barnabas may have been looking at a portrait of me for many years now.

Looking at the Robservations, I think it seems to have been "Mrs. Collins, you don't mean that," after Maggie said she wanted to die. I didn't catch it myself, and was sorely tempted to go back, but my rule for the Watching Project is that I don't go back. Sometime or other I want to go back, though, and have another look at Hoffman as we briefly see her outside Angelique's room, before Elizabeth comes along. What is she thinking? Grayson Hall knew.

It's surprising, but I enjoyed it too much to quibble.
I found this to be a wonderfully absorbing episode all the way through, with lots of interesting talk. Barnabas was being a little too obvious about his suspicion of Angelique, but he was very handsome in that period costume while he was doing it (maybe the reason he kept it on for longer than necessary was that he knows perfectly well how good he looks in it, or maybe it was just that it felt so good to be back in the clothes of his own time), and anyway, it would have been out of character for him not to be obvious about his suspicions.
It was fun to see Frid, Hall, and Parker together in the drawing room - Barnabas, Julia, and Angelique, but a different Julia and a different Angelique so that the dynamics were completely different from what we would see in our own time.
I'm slow - very slow - but I today finally got why we had to have the costume business.

“Still the imagine of Maggie lying on the stone beneath my window was not an unpleasant one!” Angelique
Told you she was the baddest of the bad! What a total bitch!
JF looks dashing in this period clothing!
It is so interesting to watch JF play the scene with GH as there is no trace of his loyal friendship with Julia Hoffman! Kudos to both actors!
The boom mic was quite visible! LOL What kind of power could this be?? Glamouring, compelling?? Cool power!
