I see that Quentin smartly decided to stash away the painting-in-wolf-form.
The vase wasn't placed where Tate painted as it was at the end of the previous ep, a boom mic shadow floated across the closed closet, JF tripped, the wands (again) had to be rearranged off-camera to form the 49th hexagram, plus there was the blooper described by EmeraldRose, but these mistakes were minor compared to Frid's mishandling of some important exposition. A case in point--
Barnabas: "The ghost can tell us whether or not Count Petofi ever existed here or ever came here or whether he came because history had not been changed."
Huh?! (And what a pity that no one will get around to asking Quentin's ghost if he'd ever heard of Petofi.)
And, make up your freakin' mind, Barnabas!--
Barnabas: "Magda, you
must understand everything that is happening."
Magda: "Alright, Barnabas, I try."
Barnabas: "Now if I am successful, my body will remain here in a trance-- my physical body. My astral body will go."
Magda: "Astral body? What is that?"
Barnabas: "My will, my force, my soul-- whichever you like.
Now if you don't understand, don't try."All of a sudden, Barnabas was an expert on the I-Ching wands and the 64 hexagrams. I recall that it was Professor Stokes who studied the book and learned about them. Barnabas wasn't the one with all the information about them.
Didn't we all become somewhat expert at the I-Ching from listening to Stokes talk about them? But where IS that journal that was also found in Quentin's room in 1969?
Then he manhandles the vase like it was one of his leading ladies.
It's strange that Amanda's first appearance two years ago didn't take place in Tate's studio.
Well, the brooch didn't appear in the studio either, and made its way to Braithwaite & Sons instead.
Petofi refers to Kitchener as "Lord Kitchener" but according to Wikipedia Kitchener wasn't made a baron until October 31, 1898.
Good catch.
That was a sweet moment at the end when Magda touched Barnabas' shoulder before leaving him alone in the basement.
