Of course they didn't have the kind of technology they have today in TV but it would have been great to see Julia and Magda meet, at least one time.  I would love to have seen Julia's reaction to Magda.  After all, Magda was such an important part of Barnabas' life in 1897.

The technology was there and available for television production. Look at the Patty Duke Show. That predates DS, doesn't it?

plus Bewitched didn't Elizabeth M do this with
Samantha and Serena? [roll3]Would have liked to see them together too!

and go see another specialist for an opinion maybe?  Yes??

I second Connie's advice.....do NOT hesitate to seek out another opinion.  Many years ago my Mother-in-law had eye surgery done by a surgeon with the most prestigeous practice in Manhattan.  Everyone assured her that she couldn't be in better hands anywhere in the world.  Guess what....he screwed up.  It happens.  But he never admitted it.  It took a long time and ANOTHER surgeon to fix what went wrong.  So please, don't let loyalty or politeness prevent you from doing what's in YOUR best interest!!

An intriguing thread.  I think the relationship between Tony and Carmella is fascinating and I can see where its complexity is similar to that of Barney-book and Julia.

Jennifer, I don't think there is any doubt that Gandolfini will be back.  All of this negotiation stuff is agent-driven, a frequently used tactic (unfortunately) and one reason why so many industry people don't like agents. (Though there are some good ones)  The agent is pushing for all of this because the amount of money an actor can command is what ultimately earns respect in Hollywood. It's stupid, but that's how it is.

I had to laugh at some of the newspaper reports claiming that Gandolfini was an "obscure" actor prior to The Sopranos.  He was in quite a few high profile films and had meaty roles in them for the past decade.  Geez, what do they call an actor who has never been in any production seen by more than 50 people?

you know Nancy i say good for them! everyone should have an agent! Jimmy G. is that show and i think they'll have to give him
1 million an episode is it too much? hell yes but they have made a ton of money on the show and he is the reason! if they can pay million each to The Friend's actors i say he deserves more!Should nurses, cops and firefighters make more Hell yes but hey the money just isn't there
it is like pro athletes they are overpaid but the owners are making so much more! thanks for the input and with all the weirdness going on in the world it is fun to talk about something "light" .
also don't see too much the same about tony and Barnabas Tony is a "thug" who likes what he does barnabas was forced into it!
good thread though!

Oh, Jennifer, if only there were direct flights between Logan and Islip/MacArthur, you and I would be meeting on a regular basis. 

I would LOVE to be able to fly directly to Boston!!

and i would love to meet you[beer]

LA's not so great....I was there once.  Rained every day.  And I didn't see ONE beach that could hold a candle to the beaches on Fire Island!

(Rainey ducks and runs!)

or Cape cod heehee[peepwall]

An obvious parallel would be Nick and Natalie on Forever Knight.  She's a doc that knows his secret and tries to cure him through science, and though it's unspoken their friendship evolves into something much deeper.  One ep in particular addresses why it'd be dangerous if he showed his feelings for her.

Nice to see you, Joe!

that is a good one of course when i watch that show my daughter makes fun of me and my fasination with vampire shows!
i agree Rainey she is much too good for Tony
(will he be back?)

jennifer

i don't know do you think she is in love with Tony as Julia is with Barnabas? and if  so ICK!

jennifer
maybe Sister Pete and Mcmanus on Oz heehee

John, many thanks for that beautifully written explication de texte (or should it be, de scene?)  I think this episode and the one where Bruno becomes sexually excited while flogging the Chris-wolf must rate among the most homoerotic in DS' history.  There are other queer moments, of course...

I think your analysis of this episode should be published in Cahier du Shadows!

Your fan,

Steve

i jiust knew you were going to bring up that Bruno scene Steve !
