I assumed that they had previously switched the tape, anticipating that others might be interested in it.

That whole sequence always drove me crazy!! David goes to the Old House first. Not only is Julia not there, but Willie has to get all freaky when he mentions Adam and shoo him out of there. He even mentions that it's on the tape, but I don't think Willie heard that. One would think that that would set up an alarm in him and he'd realize to contact Julia about it.

Then, David tries to tell Cassandra, of all people, she tries to brush him off. She almost didn't learn of it. David has to go and ask about Barnabas' affliction!!

Then he DOES finally get to Julia, but only too late. I can't understand that he's forgotten so much. Even if he doesn't remember how it goes, surely he'd at least remember the phrase Barnabas' affliction!!

By the way, I love that outfit Cassandra has been wearing (and I loved the black robe one before this).

So, Nicholas is starting to move in on Maggie!

I hadn't specifically recalled it ahead of time, but seeing it again, it's definitely one of the show's best moments.  And Vicki's follow-up, too!

I thought I had already taped over it, but discovered I still have it, so I checked out the exact lines.  After her initial statement and Cassandra's "How dare you," --

V:  You won't have to listen to me for much longer.  But, it's not going to work.

C: I don't know what you're talking about.

V: Oh, yes you do.  Your dream is gong to end with me, Cassandra.  I've had it and I'm frightened, but I'll never tell it to Barnabas.  No matter how many times I have it or how frightened I become.  I'll die before I tell him.

Welcome, jthomas_123!!  You'll see that lots of people have someone in particular whom they really "harp" on.  And, you'll find you've got company in your particular choice and have probably already noticed Ringo!!

Well, I know I don't have the time for it, so I'll just have to hope that the idea appeals to someone!!

I've been wondering if we could have an "Off Topic" section.  This is such a nice friendly group - there could be times one would want to mention things or perhaps ask for suggestions about something, etc. that have nothing to do with DS.  While there's an occasional OT post on the main board, one wouldn't want to do too much of that.  At the WordPerfect forum I follow, they've set up a "Chit Chat" section where one can bring up anything.

Thanks for the answer - hope you all have lots of fun!!
