It was fun to see Grayson Hall go up in close up and Jonathan Frid be the one who feeds her line.  Also enjoyed that Maggie was staying in Josette's room to further reinforce her former occupation of that room.

[Lydia]

So far, I think the only two characters who have gotten to have sheets when using the bed in Josette's room are Josette herself and, today, Maggie.  Maybe Kathryn Leigh Scott had it in her contract that she got sheets.
 
I can't believe that Barnabas thinks locking the mausoleum door will do any good.  It's sort of flimsy, and anyway, Willie had no trouble breaking the lock a couple of years ago.
 
Why did Maggie have that dream?  Clearly Quentin didn't send it to her.  Maybe Beth did, though if it had been Beth, then surely we would have seen her doing some weeping.  Or maybe Magda did, but Magda seems to have dropped out of the mix.  Madam Findlay was never in the Old House, more's the pity (it would have been such fun to watch!), and Ezra Braithwaite probably never was, so it seems unlikely that they would have been able to cause Maggie to have the dream there.  I'd have been less surprised if Julia had had the dream: she seems more prone to psychic spurts than Maggie does.  But Maggie's the ingenue, so Maggie got the dream.

[Lydia]

An afterthought: maybe Amy unwittingly ESP'ed the dream to Maggie.

[IluvBarnabas]

This was Maggie's second dream, though. Who has been giving them to her, I don't know...maybe Maggie's psychic abilities materalize once she moved to Collinwood.

Barnabas better make sure the door has a better lock....Willie did manage to break into it awfully easily, but then I don't think it was a very strong lock. Which surprises me because I would have thought that the caretaker would have made sure the mausoleum would be tight as a bug given how anxious he was to protect the rest of the dead.

[Midnite]

As KLS did the intro about the house being all but deserted, the slide of Collinwood was freaking backwards.

Ah, even in death, Quentin is a skirt chaser.  He was smokin' hot in that dream!

It was fun to see Grayson Hall go up in close up and Jonathan Frid be the one who feeds her line.

Yes, it was. I was quite amused to hear Barnabas and Julia both uttering practically the same lines!

That was great acting on Denise's part when Quentin touched Amy and she froze, with her mouth open. Chilling scene.

Wow! Barnabas finally found the hole in the wall that leads to Quentin's room! It was neat when Maggie dreamed about where Quentin took her. The dream most certainly came from another source - I'm not sure who it was. (Beth? Magda? Psychic connection from Amy? Those are all good guesses.)

I like how Maggie was speaking so matter-of-factly to Amy about David's plight. It harkens me back to a time when she was the no-nonsense waitress.

   Of course!  He was in full Heathcliff mode  (they hadn't yet thrown Mr Rochester and Rhett Butler into the mix!).  Dark and Dangerous alpha males ALWAYS RULE!

And am I wrong but wasn't that the first time we see Quentin kissing a woman?

Yes, it was. 

[EmeraldRose]

That calls for a milestone! ... And here's another one, just because... It was the first time Quentin kissed a woman, after all!   That deserves another milestone!

Well, maybe not quite the first time...

[EmeraldRose]

Well... It was the first time we saw him kiss a woman!

To (mis)quote Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Lil  "It took more than ONE woman to make me Quentin Collins".

 


Greetings to everyone from Washington DC.    Got in midday yesterday -- then of course the room wasn't ready and I went out and about to play.  The good news is that so far the wireless in the Days Inn is working as advertised.  Hope I don't jinx it ....  Reviews indicated a number of complaints about wireless being down for the reviewers' stay.

<waves back to Jeannie!>

Have fun in Washington, D.C.! I've never been there myself. You must let us know how your trip's going.

D.C. is great, Sally; but of course I'm a total history buff, so mileage may vary.  Being it's only 5 hrs or so drive from where I live in NY, I've been here a few times, starting with the senior trip in Jr. High School (we left at 6 am got back at midnight).  Been here 6 or more times with friends, but haven't made it back in over ten years, and it was nice to come back.  The bummer is that no one around here was free to come with me on either the first trip to see Selby's play in previews, or this one for the closing weekend.

I've been thinking of some sort of short trip report, but I'm undecided where to share it.  Should I post it in one of the update topics here, make a new one about the DC adventure or dump it on my website with the review I did?  Still not sure what's the best thing to do -- how OT it would be considered and what the interest level would be over here.  Won't be a lot about Selby,outside of the play. Fair warning -- I've yet to see him before or after a performance, and may not manage it at all.  Its not, after all, like it's someone he knows who could send a note back. Sometimes it just works out that way with live theater.

Saw the play yesterday and going again this evening and Sunday's matinee, which is the closing performance.  I've posted some stuff in the existing topics, if you've been reading those.  There's also the ubiquitous review on my website.
