Who was it who used to regularly post about every mistake on practically every episode? I just realized that's been missing from this forum (his comments were always humorous)! Though I'm not on a crusade to bring back that tally sheet, I noticed three rather glaringy gaffes in fairly quick succession recently, so thought I'd mention them ...
Let's see, first there was that scene in Josette's room at the Great House on the night of her demise, when Barnabas came to her and KLS very deftly fed J. Frid his line -- something like "You mean we
could be together that way
now, don't you?" (Mr. Frid had put the line in the past tense
)
Then the next episode, I think it was, opened with a voiceover telling about Josette's demise in front of her portrait at the Old House, and the scene being shown was inside the Old House (we were still in 1796 at that point), where one spotted Julia Hoffman's 1970s wool coat hanging on the coat rack ...
Finally, either in that episode or the next one, after we had returned to 1970 and Julia was telling Carolyn about her experience in 1897 (I didn't recall at all that Carolyn even knew about this ...) and how she was waiting for Barnabas' return, and then Julia overhears the voices of Magda and Pansy (Faye) talking in 1897. They are discussing how Barnabas disappeared with Josette in the Old House and haven't been seen since. Pansy insists that Magda should know what's happened because "you were friends with Barnabas, weren't you?" Magda agrees that she was, but that she hadn't seen Barnabas for "two weeks." Wait a minute! Magda was "friends" with the "old," vampire Barnabas ... not the "new" Barnabas who appeared on the scene after Pansy staked "the vampire"! And that must have been more than two weeks ago! Looks like a writer goofed on that one, and no one caught it ...
