Such an interesting episode! We've got Elizabeth's belief that death is the end of everything. So much for the hours of Sunday school that I'm sure she attended as a child. And we have Barnabas saying that death is fascinating, which fascinated me. Of all people, Barnabas should know death inside and out. He has spent, all told, about 85 years being dead, off and on. So I sat there thinking of Barnabas arising at night with no memory of that day's death. The last thing he remembers is the previous dawn. It's more than sleep: we sometimes remember dreams. But Barnabas is faced day after day after day with the mystery of death, and apparently he never solves it.
Of course the whole conversation was very reminiscent of the To Be Or Not To Be speech in Hamlet, which I'm sure Jonathan Frid knows backwards and forwards.
I took a look at Anthony George's eyes today and saw what EmeraldRose (I believe it was she) was saying about them being deep-set. His brow is very protruding, like an awning hanging over his eyes. I never noticed it before.
The scene in the Blue Whale is a memorable one for me because it's the only one I know of in which I like Vicky, without reserve. I am all too familiar with the business of pacifying a guy who is making a mountain out of a molehill, and she did it beautifully.
I should mention how grateful I am for the link to the day's Robservation every day. When I'm the first to post, I like to check to make sure I watched the correct episode. And looking at it today, I am reminded that when Elizabeth wears a scarf, she reminds me of the current Queen of England.
