So Josette finally wore down Barnabas's resistance, and by the time she did, I couldn't feel that it was wrong despite the fact that it was indeed wrong. How will Josette's personality change if she becomes a vampire?
Gosh, Jane Draper had a field day playing Suki. But I am surprised that Suki was so upset by seeing Barnabas at the window. Even if his face was evil, one gets the impression that Suki already has a nodding acquaintance with evil.
The other day I finally figured out a good reason for the cut-and-paste voiceover - "A seance has been held at the great house of Collinwood..." Its purpose is not to help viewers get accustomed to the idea of time-travelling. Rather, the purpose is to remind them that the time-travelling is taking place, and to emphasize that 1967-8 is still the home base of the series. A new viewer might have no idea that the present-day Collins family exists.
