It wasn't really a gazebo. What's that kind of place called?
I always think of that set as a terrace, but I noticed today or yesterday that there was some overhead structure that could conceivably entitle it to be called a gazebo.
Yesterday at the end I couldn't tell whether Roxanne was wearing a nightgown or what. Today it was clear that she was wearing a very fancy dress - dressing up for Barnabas. She would make a lovely vampire in it.
I dislike Samantha for the most frivolous of reasons: she has an uninteresting face and her voice is unmusical. But I liked Virginia Vestoff's uninhibited performance today when Samantha discovered Roxanne in the gazebo.
I also liked Julia's blood transfusion for Roxanne. I don't understand exactly how Julia did it, and I'm sure that neither the writers nor the director were sweating the details, but I enjoy imagining Julia resourcefully working out how to put the components together. In a more expensive show we would have gotten a cool montage. I did think, however, that the wisest course of action would be to kill Roxanne so that she can't die of blood loss. Julia knows there's just a slim chance that she can save Roxanne. Killing Roxanne would be ugly, but it would keep her from becoming a vampire.
Meanwhile, we are faced with the fact that this is the closest Barnabas has ever come to biting Julia, and apparently it's just about destroyed him.
