I wish I could forget the mental image I have of Barnabas in the Superman suit out on the Collinwood ledge.....

I'd be more inclined to accept that Laura was a creature of the supernatural before I'd believe that Barnabas used a 2nd floor ledge to get from one room to another, but that's me.
I think the only things they knew for sure was that there were 2 ghosts, a dead kid buried in the woods, and a gypsy named Magda had cursed someone.
I wish we could see the writer's notes on what they were planning to do.
I just moved (back home to Maine! Yay!) so I haven't been around at all.
Laura: "O great god Ra, why have you forsaken me?"
She has GOT to be kidding!!
Magda to Quentin: "What do you DO here? This is a public house? You come, you go, as if you live here. You do not. Get out."
LOL, what a beatdown. She's managing to not only berate him (which gets better, as others pointed out), but also to start working on getting him out of the Old House before Barnabas emerges from the basement; of all the DS characters, could Magda the one who's the most clever? She definitely thinks fast on her feet, and as we saw in the cottage in the last ep (when she relieved Laura of the scarab), she lies convincingly too.
Laura to Dirk: "I must take the children. I promised Ra."
Huh??! I thought she wanted the children. I don't understand!
Had things gone differently (and they surely would have in a Barnabasless 1897), would she really have returned for Dirk? And didn't he realize the price of admission was burning alive?
Ok, now this is the second time he’s watched a woman burn to death. That sort of thing could really give someone a phobia.
And they both came back, yikes.
How about the fact that it's a highly original blend of melodrama, gothic romance, the supernatural - with complex characters and relationships that span generations, and reinterprets those characters in interesting ways in different time periods, while still focusing on the effects of all this on a modern day family and personal relationships such as unrequited love, while frequently drawing on primeavel fears and archtypes? Those are just a few thoughts that spring to my mind.
As far as getting all hot and bothered over Q, I can't help it. He is just gorgeous and oozes sex appeal. On top of that, he is a damn fine actor. Not a combo we get much anymore! However, if I do ever met David I will totally contain myself. I cannot stand rude or obnoxious fans. I have met several famous people and have kept my cool and then went to a room a screamed it out! LOL
It's also very true that you begin to realize what sounds right and what does not! Thanks Pansity!
That would work, Barnabas only expected to return the same day and Stokes' later statement having been right all along, except for the fact that David did not die just a day or two into the 1897 storyline. Maybe he unexpectedly hung on forever, but he was at death's door in episode 700.
I'm not sure that Beth was actually given the instructions to lock up after Laura left. I thought that comment and the one to Laura that she couldn't stay were her desperate attempts to get rid of her because it was nearly dawn and raggedy Quentin might be stumbling in like he did the day before. Laura said about it, "You take it so personally. How strange."
OH HELLO—there comes hotness around the corner! Hello Hottie! OPEN SHIRT! WHOO HOO! Why can't I find something like this at dawn, I ask you?? I am so envious of Terry Crawford running her hands through his hair! UGH!! So thick and gorgeous.Such a doll Q is. I don't think I would have made it through puberty had I watched during the original run. Lord I always get distracted with “The Pretty!”
Just looking at that man distracts me! LOL
I love your warped sense of humor! As the old 70’s song says, “Keep it coming love, keep it coming, love don't stop it now don't stop it no!!” Being a child who was required to attend church I am sitting here laughing out loud because that song was sang frequently. Thankfully it won't be stuck in my head since I recited Keep It Coming by KC and the Sunshine Band!
