I can hardly get over how 'right' it seems that all the supernaturalness is out in the open. I love it.

The two mortal women that have the greatest affection for Barnabas are fighting tooth and nail to save him. I'm digging that too.

Barn forces Vicki to tell him the dream. The whole scene between them in the drawing room of the Great House is fantastic. It has but one hokey moment.

Julia slaps Cass/Ange in a moment of climactic disgust. A favorite fan moment.

Barn dreams the dream, met by Cassandra not Angelique. He wakes from the dream before being bit by a bat, not, as I expected. But it makes sense because Barn is living now, so he must become a vampire here and now. There's a knock at the door, Barn opens it, and gets bit by a bat and the scene ends with Barn writhing on the floor of Old House porch and Angelique's taunting laughter.

No big complaints for this episode. Julia should have heard the knock on the door and come back to make sure Barn would be okay and of course the bat was low budget but both are standard fare for DS. I don't recall any particularly bad acting. I am beginning to wonder if Frid's wearing a hairpiece as Barnabas. I'm pretty sure Parker had on a new outfit as Cass, and everyone looked pretty good today.

I'm in the middle of switching tapes and the cover of volume 60 is the publicity still of Maggie and Joe that MB is talking about. Joe has pretty thick and long sideburns so I am probably wrong about the fake sideburns. Perhaps they are darkened for TV because they looked fake to me in the side shot of him with the bandage around his head.

I imagine I am wrong about Maggie being up too early also, because she does say as MB pointed out that she'd been out looking for Joe. When the grandfather clock in the foyer of the great house strikes 6:15 AM in the next scene, it prompted me to think that Maggie sure was dressed nice and up early. I totally forgot about her statement about looking for Joe.

Of course, now I am second guessing whether Joe fell out of a closet or a wardrobe, lol.

I did enjoy it very much DarkLady. I thought it was a wonderful episode. My post above was accidental, and then I lost my completed post in a 'session timed out' tragedy or something of that nature, I was attaching a photo and that was all she wrote. Instead of backpaging I shut the browser down hoping it had posted. I was so annoyed I took a two hour nap to get over it, lol.

You did a marvelous job capturing the essence of it.

I meant to mention it for yesterday's episode that it's kind of incomplete that Stokes wasn't trying to find Adam or Haskell, etc.

Anyone think Maggie and Vicki should think back to the past and that Barn's bite is similar to Maggie's and all the others that were attacked by Barnabas.

Maggie looks cute, even if it is retro.

Nice shot of the the Great House turret.

6:15 AM, Maggie is dressed rather early - I guess a left-over habit from opening the diner. And I agree. DarkLady, the scene with Frid & Blair was perfectly executed, in my opinion, by both men. Even the music and camera work was marvelous. Though a short scene, the writing was good.

Joe tells his story to the sheriff and now Stokes has some 'splainin' to do.

Why does Joe have fake side burns, really

I'm the Diana of the group. Well, I'm not, now get back to your positions, 13 feet behind me to the right, and follow my lead!

wish you were a boy?

That's what so great about the set up, they all work.
