Now, my DSFMS (Dark Shadows Faulty Memory Syndrome) is kicking in, so while I do recall this little comment by Barnabas, I can't recall if it was from the series or from one of the novels.  He makes mention to Julia of how he is not enamored by the way women in the 20th century were "liberated" or "emancipated" or something like that.  Obviously, he was use to the "weaker sex" variety of the eighteenth century, especially when they knew-their-place so-to-speak with regards to men.  And here's this woman doctor, on equal par with her male counterparts, telling him on occasion in her own bedside manner to shove it.  And it's not bad enough that she engages in the vice of tobacco like a man would, but she doesn't even have the where-to-all to go to the appropriate smoking salon to indulge, and uses his candelabrum, which means something to him, as if it were a Bic.  All she needed to do send him into apoplexy was to walk up to a 200-year-old vase, once the favorite of his dear mother, and flick ashes into it.

There was an odd fan made video spoof of the Julia-Barnabas relationship at the convention this year. 

It goes like this:As usual, Barnabas rejects Julia and she goes off to get drunk at the Blue Whale, while there, she overhears a conversation with Joe, Burke, and Maggie (an clip of a scene from an early Barnabas episode) where Joe mentions the loss of blood of one of his uncle's cows.  This gives Julia an idea and she rushes off to the farm with a cow suit mooing when Baranabas appears to strike at one of the cows.  Julia tries to convince him she is a cow but  Barnabas is too stunned just flies off . The farmer then arrives, thinking that she really is a cow. 

One guy played all the parts!

I think that must've been in a novel cuz on the show he chides her a week or so later for being a pushy modern woman and if modern men like it. . they can have it. . .he's not gonna . .

Okay, so I was watching some tapes again....

[spoiler]I just saw the epi. where Julia and Dave W. were having a little conversation in the Collinwood study. This is right after Willie was shot (ya know, when Maggie and Sam set up a trap for the 'mysterious' kidnapper). First of all, why they had to shoot him **5** times in the back with a shotgun I'll never know...don't even start me on the topic of hunting - I'll go off-topic REAL fast (LOL).  Anyhoo...I love the look on Julia's face when Dr. W suggests that she's staying on at Collinwood because of an romantic interest in Seƒ±or Collins. I wonder if this is when it first came into Julia's mind as well...[/spoiler]

I wish I had some pics to illustrate this but...sigh...only have these episodes on tape. No tengo dinero mis amigos...   

  Anyhoo...I love the look on Julia's face when Dr. W suggests that she's staying on at Collinwood because of an romantic interest in Seƒ±or Collins. I wonder if this is when it first came into Julia's mind as well...

I dont quite know when it popped into Grayson's head (a bit before i'm certain) but that is a good place to take the ball and run. . .then the execs soon caught onto what she was doing--and DS history was written.  I do love that scene too, the way she holds out her hands over the stacks of books "Daaaave, I can't just pack up and go---"  Then when she sits in the chair, uneasily squirming as he makes his insinuation---the 'cat who swallowed the canary' look on his face is pretty priceless too. . like he finally figured out something about the mysterious, brilliant Dr. Hoffman--

Another funny thing I noticed (well, at least to me)

[spoiler]When David had a dream warning him about Barnabas, he sees a mysterious faceless figure dangling a shiny medallion. Julia's wig and her shiny accessories take center stage that day - lol.

And during a scene in the Old House Drawing Room, Barnabas walks in and spies Julia engrossed in a text of some sort. He yells about her reading at a time like this (this was when Willie is in the hospital, supposedly on his deathbed). Anyhoo, She responds by saying something to the effect of: "well, you enjoy browsing through family albums; and I enjoy browsing through medical journals." That line itself was funny, considering Barn's...attitude during this time, but what I found even more intriguing was what Julia was leafing through -- it was a book alright, but what KIND of book is my question.  There was one shot...Oh, I wish I had a picture...where you could see a bit of what was inside. All I can say is there was some cropped pictures running along the top of the pages, followed by some text. Now, that could've been anything -in theory- but my mind naturally strays to something a bit more...risque. Was Julia doing some extra top secret research for her...treatment...of Barnabas? LOL   Actually, that reminds me of a story on another list....        [/spoiler]

I love revisiting these episodes. 

I hope these fill the bill...

Not for nothing, but that chair is covered in some of the ugliest upholstery fabric I've ever seen in my life.  I guess slipcovers would have sent them over-budget..... 

Jean-Claude, querido mio, what fabulous photos.  The first one looks as if Julia was *thrilled* to discover a copy of Lady Chatterley's Lover in Liz's Library (thinking of what Heather wrote above).  "AND it's ILLUSTRATED!" Dave looks less than thrilled with ALL of it.

Jean Claude, about the latest pics, all I have to say is 

Bette

That chair looks a lot like Archie Bunker's chair.  I wondered if it was used on that show later on.
