What really gets me is when some poor soul who has been kept in the dark for sometime about something (usually mysterious) finally starts to see the light and will ask about it, only to be met with the usual reply back "NEVERMIND!!"   Barnabas is famous for saying that one. ;)


Oh yes, and ALSO "We will tell you about it all.....LATER!" How many times have we heard THAT one? Prof. Stokes ain't buying it, that's fur sure!

And as for words like "frightened" and "fond," the one that comes to my mind is "rest."  No one ever sleeps at Collinwood.  They "rest."  And judging from how easy it is to find these folks at 3 a.m., up and about (and fully dressed), I don't think they even "rest"!

They don't seem to "rest" unless they have one of Julia's sedatives..or they are vampires and have to avoid the sunlight ;)

The mannerisms that come to mind immediately are Barnabas with his steepled fingers and Julia thrusting her hands into her pockets or wringing her gloves.  I don't think Grayson could have done some of those scenes without a dress or coat with pockets.   :-*

okay..another one..While doing the experiment (Adam's still on the slab)..Julia's working the equipment..turning knobs..squinting eyes..looking out just past the cue cards..trying to keep up with the sound effects..turning more knobs..standing there (still squinting eyes) ..that cracked me up  :P

And lets not forget that 4 word sentence that's famous on DS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN??

I also noticed that whenever Julia gets really upset or angry about something, (like in yesterday's scene when she discovered Angelique exiting Nickolas Blair's house)she covers her upper lip entirely with her lower lip.
Professor Stokes also does this when he's quietly thinking about something important. ;)

Me, too!  And don't forget the switch-on, switch-off stuff.

You'd think the writers could have concocted a little technical theory into their storyline beyond merely "transferring" the life force.  Someone could have made up something about what those knobs are supposed to do ... or what the the oscilloscope readings mean (they could have hired my seventh grade science teacher as a consultant).  

It was as if all the direction Julia and any other "scientists" on the show got was to turn the knobs intently.  And when in doubt, turn those knobs even more intently.  Turn this knob and that knob.  And this knob again.  Squint.  Switch-on, switch-off.  Frown.

It all looks so random to me.  ::)  How fun.  ;D
