The opening voiceover underlined the fact that Barnabas is trapped in his coffin in strange time. Nobody in this universe knows or cares about him - not even the ghosts.
Quentin is becoming less and less admirable by the minute. I have noted MB’s post in the topic for yesterday's episode about Quentin's pain. The question remains: to what extent is one’s own emotional pain a sufficient excuse for bad behavior to people who did not cause that pain? I don't have the answer.
Meanwhile nobody is willing to say to Maggie, “I didn't like Angelique,” even though it's clear that at least three people – Elizabeth, Carolyn, and Chris – didn't. It bugs me, but I don't think I blame them. The situation is very, very messy.
Oh, gosh, Maggie can find nothing better to do than to sit around the drawing room reading magazines. If she had been out taking a walk around the estate, Daniel wouldn't have been able to find her and lure her up to his mother’s room. And boy oh boy, was she easy to lure! Well, I suppose that's what Quentin, in his pain, wanted: somebody sweet and simple.
During the closing credits we got a good long look at the coffin on its very small pedestal. How on earth did Barnabas ever get in and out without knocking it off? We don't know, because we're never allowed to see it happen. Did Frid use a stepstool or was he wafted in and out by the crew? I think it's got to be the latter because it always happens so fast. I wonder if they ever dropped him.
