Do you expect a servant of Diabolos to have angelic virtues?
Nooo, I don't. [ghost_smiley]  Sexism and hypocrisy are ugly, period.  As are Angelique's out-of-control selfishness and jealousy, and she serves the same Master.

Quote
But Angelique had abandoned her powers, whereas Sky was still a Leviathan follower.

That's true, but a habitual drinker who abstains from alcohol is still an alcoholic, and in the DS universe, a witch who abandons her powers is still very much a witch.

Ack, another instance in which a character can speak sentences while being choked.  Sky even managed to let out an AUGH before collapsing.

I, for one, am happy to see the the Real Housewife act come to an end, though I hope Angelique gets to keep the trophy wife wardrobe.  The blue two-piece suit looks stunning on LP, and the fall blended perfectly with her own hair.  She got some terrific dialogue here too, especially in her scene with the Q-man.  ("Well, don't just stand there, Quentin. Kiss me.")  Did Gordon Russell really write it?

Someone, I guess KLS, walks behind Barnabas during his close-up.

You can hear the terrace fountain start burbling while Angelique was still standing over Sky... so if the crew was in such a hurry to get to the next scene, you'd think they would also make sure KLS was in place for it.

Quote
When and how did this tradition of very long "friendship hugs" between Barnabas and Maggie start?   We get two in this episode...   It should be a personal rule for Barnabas, end the friendship hugs the second Ang turns up again.   Ang on the rebound starts to cause trouble within 24 hours!

That was just marvelous, MT.  (Was it only 2 hugs?)

We have Nicholas (who admitted to not having the powers he once had) siccing Sky (who is is as powerless as he is clueless) on Angelique (whose powers are at full strength).  It's pretty clear who will win that round.

Nicholas to Megan: "Burning a corpse merely disposes of a body; the spirit of that body cannot be burned."
The author of that little nugget was Gordon Russell, who also penned ep #1001 set in 1970 PT in which [spoiler]Quentin torches his wife's coffin in an attempt to destroy both her body and spirit.[/spoiler] Forgetful much?

Nick to Angelique:  "How typically female-- you overlook your own deception, but you're furious about his."
This from the man who blasted Jeb for harboring the same feelings for Carolyn that he once had for Maggie.  Which makes him a sexist AND a hypocrite.

Ange to Sky:  "I've seen the light."
And I bet it wasn't white nor bright nor aimed toward heaven.

Ange to Sky:  "You're the one who preached to me about keeping secrets, and ever since we've been married, you have kept the darkest secret of all. You're one of them, aren't you? You're one of the Leviathans."
She has a point-- Sky did declare once upon a time that not keeping secrets was rule #1 for their marriage, but in the hierarchy of dark secret-keeping, is being a Leviathan follower further down than worshipping the Prince of Darkness?

As she prepares to leave her husband, she begins packing the same little blue suitcase that has made the rounds at Collinwood and that probably wouldn't hold enough toiletries, clothing and shoes to get her through a single day.

(PS, the flame on that torch was beautiful.)  I didn't see any particular internal struggle, but in the closing scene, at least he managed to get some enthusiasm into his voice as he held the fire out to Angelique.
Sky bad.  Fire pretty.  [ghost_wink]

DS Greeting Cards, Set of 12, $15.99???

2573
I see what you mean-- it's $20 on the order form, though it's $10 on this page.  I think they're including the bus ride ("Fans who do not need transportation can purchase tickets ... directly from the Vista Theatre box-office"), which on the flier page is listed as costing $10, though the update above lists the cost of transportation at $15.  It's confusing!

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY FEST PAYMENTS TO THE FEST POSTAL-MAIL ADDRESS BEFORE APRIL 20

The mass mailing should be en route by that date. It will have the actual Payment Form you must include when you pay for your Fest membership. After the mailing is sent out, you also can print the membership form off the Fest website.

Following is the latest confirmed Fest news, which is fully detailed in the upcoming SG #117-#118 print issue, along with more premiere announcements, exclusive photos, extensive news developments, and much more.
