Did the writers think of this stunt as something only Barnabas in particular would do, I wonder, was it supposed to be in-character, or did they just unthinkingly pull it out of their hat, as we tend to assume with the writers? Ed seems very sure about his vampirism facts, the daylight thing supposedly being absolute. Seeing two Barnabi does trump everything else, though. [spoiler]What if they had touched the Barnabas in the coffin? Was it/he solid?[/spoiler]
I love gloaty Pansy these days. Nancy's good at it and enjoys it. She sets up Amanda's portrait for dramatic effect in the drawing room, then sang her song for it... Her with Gregory... as she exits, nice little shot on the shoulder she gives him...!
Mere moments later, Greg's eyes really pop out over his second big surprise of the day: Qtofi and Edward helping Barnabas in the front door! Barnabas gives Gregory a glare that seems meant for all Trasks of all times... Greg rants, and I like Barnabas's response: "Who is he?!" As Selbtofi exits, I thought, Selby really should have thrown in Thayer's deep, menacing chuckle occasionally (as in... Heh heh heh heh!! It is MINE!!!), though it may have been impossible for his young throat.
Ed thinks that when the servants say something, you can be sure it's true! *** A classic sort of DS moment, when we're left to wonder how the burning of coffin Barnabas will affect... the other Barnabas. Cut to his face in bed, as his twin burns. We do a supernatural mental somersault or two trying to figure it out... Gregory helpfully delivers a cross to bedridden Barn. "Is something wrong Reverend?" Nice, a bit too gloaty for an innocent Barnabas, though.
Selbtofi outs himself to Barnabas, by trying to out Barnabas through Charity Faye. End.
