Pure viewing enjoyment today.
I was wondering what it must be like to have your whole life changed as Julia's just was. Granted, the same thing has happened to others, but it's more radical with Julia, because it's her nature to be focused on something. Originally her focus was on a vampire cure. Then she fell in love with Barnabas, and found her focus changing. But that probably didn't happen overnight. Now, in the blink of an eye - in the piercing of a fang - Barnabas is nothing to her, and Tom is everything. What was Julia thinking as she tore up the note from the man to whom, less than 24 hours before, she had been totally committed? Was there even a possibility of detached thought in her mind? Was she capable of thinking about whether what was happening to her was good or not? A few days ago she was telling Willie that she didn't think about what was right anymore, only about what was necessary. Maybe it didn't matter to her what her ideas on "what was necessary" were: all that mattered was that she had ideas. I don't know.
Why did Tom keep Julia alive? Why didn't he drain her until she was dead, and then go on to other victims? Was it the handyman in him coming out? "Take care of your tools, and your tools will take care of you."
I noticed that Tom separated Julia's name into three syllables - Jul-i-a.
