I don't even know where to start....I guess the most obvious.....

SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ola/welcome/bienvedos.......

ANGELIQUE

Okay...I had never seen Grayson much in this role.. how superb a stuck up rich woman she is!!!

I''m glad Joshua mentions "France followed our lead....ixna on the itleta", cause I never knew why she was referred to as Countess.

I had also forgotten about those tarot cards:
Vicki's a witch, Vicki's a witch
(of course we're reading tarot cards, but we're okay).

This is priceless!!!!

It is interesting to see Lara Parker's growth in the role of Angelique. No question even from the start, she was just perfect for the part!-VAM

I wish they could find the actual episode tapes so we could see Natalie's hat and muff in FULL color! What an entrace and What a wonderful SNOB!

I, too, wish they had the color version of this episode. The costumes lose so much in black and white, and you can't get the full benefit of Angelique's eyes this way, either.

Love, Robin

Yeah Robin, those eyes and her expressions along with the tension in the dialog between her and Barnabas are priceless...VAM

Hi Julia,

Natalie wears the same outfit one more time, in the episode where everybody moves to the New House, and you do get to see the costume in color then.

I also wish they could find the color original tape of this episode, but I fear it may have been destroyed inadvertently. I think that in some cases where we don't have the original tapes, it was because of the custom of recycling videotape in those days.

Whenever I see that muff I wonder if it's had all its shots.

I, too, wish they had the color version of this episode.

Seeing the other ep in color in MB's montage makes me want to pull out my MPI tape and watch it again. Unless, that is, I hallucinated that SciFi showed BOTH eps in black & white this morning.

The costumes lose so much in black and white, and you can't get the full benefit of Angelique's eyes this way, either.

Oh my gosh, the way they look when she says "You will see, Barnabas!" sends chills down my spine every time!
