Barnabas to Trask (before vanishing): "I will deal with you then as I dealt with your ancestor before you."
Yes, while on the defensive, the best tact is always to give your enemy yet another reason to want to come at you with everything he's got.
If Gregory were so smart, he'd have someone keeping an eye on Charity. But then again, you'd think he would have checked his daughter's neck after Dirk was destroyed to see if the bite marks disappeared.
Nancy Barrett's face and neck look puffy to me in this ep. The hair and foofy collar don't help, but the nurse in my sees a dramatic change. Sorry, sorry.
the whole dirt concept ... I do remember it being in other vampire lore!
Yes, they must sleep on it each night. Any soil in the area should've sufficed for Barnabas, but as you say later, they tweaked the lore as a plot device to set Charity up. I think they did mean that Barnabas at some point carried soil from the mausoleum, but if they meant to establish that Barnabas required soil from his grave, what did he use [spoiler]in PT, where that Barnabas had never died??![/spoiler]
Run out the passage way Charity, you twit! UGH!
I know!!!!! LOL
Edward seems to have forgotten that he showed the one behind the bookcase to Laura when they were first married.
Heh heh! The bookcase room gets as much traffic as the mausoleum room and Dirk's root cellar.
Would it not be more sensible to have stashed some in a safe place when you know that you are exposed.
He had some in the Old House basement and some in the mausoleum, but could he have anticipated that Carl told Meester Trask (of all people!), who moved quickly enough to not allow him any time at all to make other plans, thus catching Barn with his proverbial pants down? Given just one more night, if he didn't move his coffin again, I think he would have prepared a second one or at least stashed some dirt somewhere away from the Old House and the not-so-secret room at Eagle Hill.
the Old House basement ... Did we ever see dirt on that floor? Jeez!!
Nope. I second your jeez!
I just watched the show from the beginning a few months ago (including early Barney) and I am 99.9 % sure that the dirt lore was never used!
And it won't come up again. (Or were you already saying that?)
I thought the dirt thing was only significant if the vamp left his homeland - Barn never did.
You might be thinking of Dracula bringing something like 50 boxes of his native soil when he traveled to the Black Sea, which was memorable because [spoiler]it later led to his destruction.[/spoiler] But he slept on it while in his homeland too.
Good thing they started using the vampires can dematerialize, it’s very handy when that inconvenient rooster starts up.
When Barnabas used it for [spoiler]freaking out Forbes at the Eagle,[/spoiler] it was done off camera-- all we saw was Nathan's reaction. Now it's like they can't stop using the SFX!
Anyone remember where Judith might be (though given its dawn, Edward may have taken it on himself to handle everything, and she might not know yet. Anyone remember if we have any time frame for when the body was discovered?)
It was mentioned the day before (at separate times) that both Judith and Edward were in town (separately?). Edward apparently returned very late, but we don't know what came of Judith. Carl's body was discovered at around 6 a.m.
Except that Edward gives Barn more credit for brains than he apparently has, thinking Barn would never leave the coffin in the same place once it was known what the hiding place was. As we know, Barnabas apparently didn’t think of that.
I can't believe I'm defending Barnabas (
![[milestone]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/milestone.gif "Milestone")
), but could he have guessed that Carl would tell Trask, the one person who could obtain irrefutable proof of his vampirism before dawn, get past Magda, and find his hiding spot within a day?
Like with the werewolf, NO one seems to have thought of exploring the use of any of the probably numerous outbuildings on the estate.
I suspect Barnabas feels too dependent on being somewhere where he can be guarded, thus his backup plan of using the school/house by the sea.
Where did Magda get her hands on silver bullets.
The same place where Beth obtained a second pentagram? The Braithwaites may be the best silversmiths, but they may not be the only ones.
NO ONE ever called her Mrs. Racogzy
That's an interesting spelling. May I ask where it's from? We see her signature on the show, btw, and it's spelled Rakosi.
I remember in Dracula he only needed the native earth to cross water (and I believe I remember Chelsea Quinn Yarbro using the same mechanism for her Count Saint-Germaine).
Ah. I've never read CQY, but Stoker's Van Helsing said he must always return to it to rest or he'd perish.
Was this the first time we heard that there were 4 secret rooms or passageways in the Old House? ![[ghost_huh]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/ghost_huh.gif "Huh")
There has to be someone else willing to answer the "was this the first time" questions in the Watching Project. Anyone?
