Robservations #553

Is it the technical director who is responsible for making sure that we don't see the shadow of the microphone boom?  I saw it twice today, and I usually don't notice such things.
 
The scene between Barnabas and Jeff at the Old House was interesting.  Jeff was sort of suspicious of Barnabas, but he never came near to asking to search the Old House.  A year and a quarter ago, anytime anybody came to the Old House we were on tenterhooks, wondering whether Maggie's presence there would be discovered - but today there was no thought of sequestered maidens.  Where are the snows of yesteryear?

It was less than a week ago that Carolyn declared she could never be alone with Adam again, and but today she went charging up to his room without an escort.  I can understand that she felt that the matter was urgent.  On the other hand, if she felt that Adam was capable of doing violence to Vicky, then she should have considered that she herself might be on the receiving end of some violence as well.  I don't think we ever do find out how she escaped from Adam the other day when he locked her into his room with him.
 
Adam has lied outright to Carolyn for the first time.  Does he feel the pain of it?  Does he feel sullied?  Or does he feel that a Creation's gotta do what a Creation's gotta do?  And he's ready to kill Vicky.  Does he like himself?

Postscript to the previous post: What was I thinking?  Of course Adam hates himself.  He's ugly!

Now that Adam is under Nicholas' "tutelage" and Nicholas has filled his mind with all sorts of beliefs about what he's completely entitled to, I'd definitely go with the last one. And lying is a minor transgression compared to having already kidnapped Vicki and the other lines he'll cross...

It's a shame that Carolyn didn't look in the closet in Adam's room - the only hiding place where Vicki could be. But I don't blame Carolyn, because if she had, then Adam could have turned on her and possibly harmed her or made her a hostage, too. Carolyn was playing a dangerous game with Adam, because he was so much bigger and stronger than her. 

I'm glad Jeff didn't listen to Carolyn when she said not to worry about Vicki. Unfortunately, alerting Barnabas to the fact that Vicki was missing did no good, because Carolyn refused to tell Barnabas where Adam was, and Barnabas refused to tell Carolyn why Adam came to the Old House. The Collins family sure didn't have very good communication skills, did they? Too many secrets!

A show that moved things along. Nothing really interesting happened. Good comment about people coming to the Old House and disappearing.

Barnabas had now turned into the good guys now. But why when they tuned him into the good guy, what ever happened to his smarts.  That is ever if he had them,  and I am a Barnabas fan.

I sympathized with Vicki...if I had been kidnapped by some superhuman, superstrong big lug that I only saw once and never did any harm to him, I'd want to know why he was keeping me hostage too.

Of course, Adam isn't going to tell her. When he told her he'd kill her if she tried to get away, I wanted to slug him. Kidnapping her was bad enough, but killing her just because she was someone that Barnabas loved and not someone who has wronged him is absolutely terrible.

I always wondered why Carolyn didn't search the closet, but I guess she didn't want to upset Adam anymore than she had with her accusations. She didn't want him to think she didn't trust him. Of course, she really shouldn't have anyway.

Vickie would have been real stiff after spending all that time in the closet.

I get kindof tired of Vickie always being the damsel in distress.

I think Alexandra Moltke got tired of it too!
