Some conversations with Sky, aka a man of action--

Jeb:  "She won't remember anything when she wakes up."
...
Carolyn:  "Did I have another bad dream?"
Assuming that Jeb caused Carolyn to lose the memory of seeing his monstrous self rather than it being caused by the shock itself, wasn't it a huge mistake to let her remember any part of that horribly incriminating dream?

Jeb:  "She's attracted to Jeb Hawkes, and she will be attracted to Jeb Hawkes."
 

Jeb was able to get a launch to the mainland during the storm, but Angelique couldn't get one back to the island?  I know-- choppy waters can wreak havoc on a hairdo, but for all she knows, Liz (who is oh so close to remembering) is there with Sky.

Liz:  "It looked like a wolf, but it walked upright like a man."
Bruno:  "And wore clothes like a man."
Well, Bruno walks upright and has the manners of a wolf and clothes that look like an animal.  

And is it really a good idea to go wolf hunting while wearing bunny fur?  Werewolf-- Be vewwy vewwy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits.

Angelique is on a wild goose chase, Liz wears a mink collar and Jeb's is sheepskin, Bruno is in his rabbit coat and the werewolf has a gunshot wound.  I hope PETA wasn't watching this episode!!

After crashing through the window, Alex Stevens knocked over a burning candleabra.  I hope the FDNY wasn't watching this episode!!

Selby VO.

That was Michael Stroka in a Quentinless episode.  

Bruno's hair is out of control but Michael had beautiful thick hair!

Oh he does.  And doesn't it keep getting bigger as the story progresses?

Well that was very nice of Barney too move the furniture so the werewolf could jump through the window! Very nice of him indeed!  

HA HA!

I've been wondering about the Leviathans' supposed great need for some being who can travel in time.   If they can't get to the 20th century without Barnabas, how can Strack (?) show up at a Collinsport bar circa 1949?   How can they be influencing things right and left in the 'present day', before Barnabas returns--- Sky's career, etc.?   Is that some trick of time, where once Barnabas had done it, they also were able to mess with time, perhaps going back to 1949 "after" Barnabas returned?

I think the Leviathan beings take on that humanoid form for our benefit, but we've seen that they're capable of moving through time and intervening in the lives of their human followers.  Yet apparently they needed Barnabas to carry the box containing the Leviathan spirit (which is capable of converting new followers), the book, and Jeb's essence, back to 1969.

I don't have much to add, except that my dog was visibly upset by Nancy Barrett's multiple screams.

Did anyone else imagine Sky and Angelique singing, "You are my wife.  Good-bye city life!"?

Lydia, who is Paul? 

Thanks, Joe!

That last URL only seems to work if the short web address is already in your cache.

OMG, it does!  Which is why my result is a little scary:

You Are Alice

You are curious, brave, and inquisitive. You can't help but be interested in the world around you.
You are a bit of a loner and a total daydreamer. Your inner world is very colorful and vivid.

At times, your real life seems dull and completely unbearable. You wish you could escape to a whole other world.
While you have a wild spirit, you are quite gentle and polite. You tend to observe more than act - and you tread lightly.

How does David get downstairs? Would Liz be lugging the wheelchair around for him?

He gets around on crutches too and uses them on the stairs.  But having the wheelchair upstairs does mean that somebody-- probably one of the unseen servants-- carried it up for him.

There will be a brief respite while I ooo and ahh over Selby being in this episode. Isn't he dreamy?

<sigh>

There's boredom, and there's excruciating boredom.  This was the latter thanks to overacting by KLS, the introduction of a side story that called for Chris to take an absurdly dangerous gamble (even for him), and while I realize that at this point the writers were beyond caring, I was annoyed by these silly mistakes--

Barnabas:  "[Maggie's] overnight bag-- have you ever seen it before?"
Julia:  "No, I don't think so."
Oh please.  That little blue suitcase gets passed around Collinwood almost as much as sedatives.  Take the episode earlier in the Chris-as-werewolf storyline where Julia handles its contents and tells Carolyn that it's proof that Amy didn't run off on her own.

Sabrina:  "I look different, don't I, Chris? Older. I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me. You never came to me."
Actually, he did, and she got so worked up about it that she collapsed.  I think it was only the one time, but he saw her with the white hair and while she was at her worst, so I don't even see a reason to be apologetic now that she has cleaned up so nicely.

So now we have Barnabas, Julia, and Maggie against the world!

You forgot Quentin?!!

Was the flower mechanical??

I'm guessing they used stop-motion.

I must commend Julia on her intestinal fortitude.  She refrained from throwing up when Barnabas said, with a sickeningly sappy smile on his face, "We have a new ally, and we must protect her!"

 

Sabrina's moon poppy story was puzzling.  A journal - apparently a reputable one - published an article on lycanthropy.  The man who had written the article (I think he wrote it, unless I lost track of what Sabrina was saying) had exactly one moon poppy, and he mailed it to Sabrina.  (The journal was published in England, but I can't remember if Sabrina stated where the moon poppy was sent from.)  I think Sabrina must have told the moon poppy provider that it was for a werewolf, or why would he have been willing to send her this one-of-a-kind plant?  But if he believes that Sabrina knows a werewolf, why didn't he bring the moon poppy personally?  He's been studying werewolves; surely he would like to see one in the flesh.  The only reason I can imagine is that he's already seen a few, so they're nothing new to him.

I think the entire journal was the author's work on Lycanthropy.  Maybe one can assume that the flower arrived from England since the source material was Werewolf of London, but who knows?  Anyway, it does seem very odd that the author would ship his sole specimen to Sabrina, especially when he's not aware if another plant exists  But perhaps even odder, how was the blooming timed to take place exactly on the full moon?  Unlike WoL, this was not made clear-- Sabrina only said that the flower blooms while the moon is shining; it was not called the full moon poppy.

On the Friends of Jerry Lacy page of Facebook, there's an update from JL about his experience now that the recording work for Kingdom of the Dead has been completed.  To see a photo of the 8 castmembers, its director, and also co-writer Eric Wallace, check out the Collinwood.net news page.
