Bob the Bartender, who deplores the fact that, I believe, either P.J. O'Rourke or Patrck Buchanan once compared the junior senator from the great state of New York with "Nurse Ratched" from the book, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."

Nurse Ratched!?! Now there's a (fictional) woman who's life-force would have worked very much in Blair's favor!

Actually, I blame DS for my staying virginal so long.  I guess I just admired Vicki and Maggie's willpower so much, I wanted to stay a "good" girl, too!  

Love, Robin  

I bet after Catherine and Bramwell's "scene"
you threw caution to the wind, eh, Robin!?!

Great pix, and great "stuff", Ringo![thumb] (Though these are not the kind of pictures I am used to looking for on the internet - [blshy])

Big fag that I am, my eyes were drawn immediately to the Nancy Sinatra Boots LP cover...

I stand corrected, I think?

When I asked who Lucretia Borgia was after hearing Roger refer to Liz as such I was told of the Elizabeth Bath(g)ory legend. Kind of ironic that she died of Trask Syndrome.

Thanks for the polite and well informed correction, Ldyanne!

I was less than thrilled with today's episodes, but I've seen far worse. Maybe it was that I had to watch the show at work and really couldn't concentrate on them wholeheartedly.

Okay, does anyone really believe that Willie sleeps in his pajamas? Apparently he does but I'd've pegged Willie as the kind of guy that sleeps nude. (Wishfull thinking I suppose - YEAH BAYBE!!!)

Willie's "conversation" with Nicholas cracked me up one side and down the other. I think any other character, or actor for that matter, would have played the scene with a trance-like voice. But no, not our dear Willie Loomis. He sounded almost childlike, which I must admit worked very well with those PJs.

While I'm on the subject of Willie...Did you catch Maggie's reference to Willie as being "obscure"? She was speaking to Nicholas, who added that he thought Willie was a little "odd" up here (as he pointed to his own head). I was thinking that Willie is one of the only normal people in Collinsport! Poor Willie never catches a break.

Did anyone find it odd that Willie would go to Maggie to talk to in the first place? I just starting watching the show on Sci-Fi regularly a few days ago so I am wondering if I should really find it odd or not. I think I did catch an episode a while back where Willie tried to ask Maggie out on a date, but I can't be sure it was her, as it appears that she is still dating Joe. If someone can help me out on this I'd appreciate it.

And why Nicholas just didn't wipe out Willie's complete memory of the "conversation" I will never figure out. My first thought after Nicholas told him that he would remember it as just a weird dream was that Willie will eventually mention it to Julia or Barnabas, helping to cement their suspicions about Nicholas. I have seen these episodes before but honestly, I don't remember all the details. Time will tell I guess.

If you would have told me that Roger Davis had a chin to rival that of Jay Leno I never would have believed you.

I rather enjoyed Nick & Angie's scene today when he was explaining to her the whole Barnabas/Adam thang. I admit it was kind of corny but I loved Angie's looks of hopefulness that she might be the woman to give life-force to Eve. And her looks of disappointment when the Nickster kept shooting her down by mentioning other notorious women. When he mentioned some woman's name (that I didn't recognize as familiar) and Ange said, "I hated her!" (or something to that effect). I laughed out loud. It was a priceless quip. And that smug look on her face when he mentioned using the most evil woman that ever lived (sorry I don't remember the exact line) and she was so sure that he was speaking of her. Too much!!!

I had to roll my eyes twice today when both Nicholas and Angelique had to have the meaning of "life-force" explained to them. I mean really. You'd think if anyone would know what a life-force was it would be a witch and a warlock!

You think Maggie got over Joe like real quick or what?

What a treat to see Thayer David as Professor Stokes today. I relished every line he spoke in every scene he was in. I most enjoyed his conversation with Vicki (yes, today I am spelling it with a "c"). I really should try and locate my MPI tapes so I can start quoting lines and conversations. The chatter between Stokes and Vicki about Barnabas' refusal to accept today's modern conveniences was fabulous. And superbly executed.

Jeff Clark is a prick.

I found Joe's stubborn resistance to Angelique quite refreshing and very in character. I love it when characters act as I think they would in a given situation. I get very distracted when what's going on doesn't make a lot of sense to me in the context of the show.

Robert Rodan is quite menacing as Adam, don't you think? That voice! That posture!  Those stitches!!!

I hate Adam.

 Along with that, I was also wondering what Barnabas was thinking??  Apparently, he knows now that theres a vampire hidden somewhere at the Blair house and from how he spoke to Joe there, telling him " he knows how he feels and understands what he's going through," and also had the good sense to get Joe out of there fast, well then why on earth did he dump him on Maggie alone? If he knew all of that he should have very well known how hard it was to resist a vampire. He should have just taken Joe to the old house and locked him up in the basement cell for the night.

No kidding! I was thinking the exact same thing. And if not that, then stake yourself (sorry Barn) outside Maggie's' cottage and wait to see who comes-a-callin', or follow Joe when he leaves the cottage.

I guess now that he is human again the ol' Barnster can be as stupid as the rest of us mere mortals.

I noticed that today when the credits rolled, they started with the production crew and then moved on to the actors. I don't ever recall seeing this happen before.

Before I start blaming JP for this, can anyone tell me if this was a credits blooper? It was very odd.

Just wondering,
Dom

PS - I think it was episode two.

Poor Joe...he looks like a crackhead.

Especially from the jaw-line down. He had what my step-mom used to call a powder-line that was visible from fifty paces!

Hyphen-crazy Dom
