In the reshoot, we get a better display of Barnabas' superhuman strength when he physically subdues Aristede.  Hmm, how was Aristede able to fetch chilled champagne from deep inside an old abandoned mill?

A camera (?) casted a dark shadow (!) over Jamison.

alwaysdavid, they had the correct portrait over the Old House mantle during the flash-forward!  LOL, and then the cameras avoided showing that area back in 1897.  (And the red flowers in the urn that have mostly been in Evan's home in 1897 have shown up 1969.)

Barnabas (about being accompanied to the future):  "Count Petofi, do you think this is some sort of a carriage ride?"
That line is not nearly as good as Professor Stokes' "Mr. Collins, I am not a travel agent for time!"

Petofi to Barnabas:  "You will be no longer able to indulge in your favorite trick."
The Count made it pretty clear that he was referring to the power to disappear, but I wonder if he also took away Barn's ability to turn into a bat.  For one thing, after receiving Petofi's marks, Barnabas walked out the door of the lair instead of choosing to fly out.  And in a future episode, Barnabas (while still marked) will find himself in a predicament that he could escape from by turning into a bat and flying away, but he won't.

The greatest mistake of his life?   How short is his memory?  I'd have to say Angelique in 1795.

Well, I think at this point it might seem to Barnabas that trusting Petofi and Aristede was his greatest mistake.  Not only does he believe that Quentin is still on the path to ghosthood, but Jamison lay dying, which means that David isn't just doomed-- chances are, he won't even be born.  So it's not that Barnabas has forgotten about Angelique, but that he's putting the well-being of the future Collinses above his own personal problems.  Or something.

Count Petofi made Magda take him to Barnabas's coffin in the West Wing at Collinwood

You're a little bit ahead; we didn't learn yet which part of the house it was.  And this probably explains why it was referred to as "an unused wing of the family mansion" in this episode-- Sam Hall may have intended it to be in the East Wing, whereas Violet Welles will say it was the West Wing.

It's interesting that David Hennessey is now playing TWO characters who are close to death simultaneously.

Good point.

I did considered that, but nothing was mentioned in the auction. I doubt the person will be selling it too much longer anyways (quick profit thing).

Actually, copies are still listed for sale.  And btw, any material that an individual creates him/herself is copyrighted, and you'd most likely need to obtain permission from the copyright holder to upload it.

a painting of Depp, Frid, Cross and Newman by George Pitcher which was taken from Film Fantasy Magazine Summer'09. Not a bad painting although Depp as Barnabas could have been more accurate. Wouldn't mind getting hold of a lithograph of the 4 Barnabas'.

I haven't seen the ShadowGram issue, but something tells me that my scan from the magazine (it's from one of its collector's editions called "Life Story") might be clearer.


From what jimbo says, I'm guessing that the other artist's image wasn't included.  I think the likeness is better, but to quote my daughter, "What's up with the moustache?"

Marvelous find!

Ivana Milicevic plays a sassy mistress in the August 20th [penultimate 1st season] ep of the USA Network series Royal Pains titled "Nobody's Perfect."  Her character could also be described as a Maggie-Evans-turned-gold-digger type.

You can access the full episode here, or check the network schedule for repeats.  (Or watch it on USA on September 3 at 2 p.m. Eastern & Pacific times.)

Stroka's voiceover:  "...as one young man will soon learn, the night has a thousand eyes."
And now I can't get the Bobby Vee song out of my head.  Which is actually not a bad thing.

Nora, after Tim asks if she'll keep his secret:  "Cross my heart, I will."
Another song from Bobby Vee!  But I did a little research and learned that the first written reference to the oath "cross my heart (hope to die)" is from the early 1900s and it did not become a schoolground staple until later, so while most of us could relate when we heard Nora say it during the summer of '69, it is as anachronistic to 1897 as her Raggedy Ann doll.

Nora's gift was called a locket, but as we saw in the previous ep it's just an emerald pendant or some other green stone.

Nice job by Don Briscoe when his face showed his realization that something was not right about Jamison.

Aristede to Jamison/Petofi:  "The hand is within our reach again."
It's almost in our clutches?  The hand is within our grasp?  We nearly have a grip on it?  No matter how you say, I think it sounds silly.

Nora tried to open the box, but it was locked. It was the first time that the box was locked when someone tried to open it.

Was it locked?  Jamison/Petofi was able to open the latch without a key, so perhaps the hand prevented her from opening the box?

Tim's use of the word shall doesn't bother me since he's well versed in Latin and now sees himself in the role of a wealthy gentleman.

That's awesome.
