Okay, so I'm about a dozen or so eps into Leviathan and I have to say, I'm *liking* it! I like this new side of Barnabas [spoiler]not the 'baddie', we've all seen THAT before. But the funny Barnabas who's laughing and smiling all the time. Granted, he's under a spell of sorts but still, his scenes w/Paul Stoddard are hilarious![/spoiler]
I, like you all, hate Alexander, but I gotta give the kid credit, he can act for one so young. To illicit the ill will we all feel towards him....that's talent. And David Hennesy, well, need I say it? THAT kid could act circles around many of the adults on the show! Too bad he didn't continue acting, he'd have an Oscar on his mantle for sure!
[spoiler]I *love* the dream Liz has before becoming one of them, it was hilarious! And again, WELL acted by David and there's that laughing Barnabas again![/spoiler]
I also really like Paul Stoddard! [spoiler]Too bad he dies in this plotline. I would have like to see him survive and continue on w/the show.[/spoiler]
Now, I'm only guessing about this, but I'm thinking those of you who watched the show originally didn't like this plotline, generally speaking, I know *some* of you did like it, because after a vampire, witch, Frankenstein man, warlock and two werewolves, not to mention all the ghosts, this was too slow and boring? I grew up watching 'traditional' soaps like General Hospital, Guiding Light etc...so this is interesting to me. I like all the mystery and the [spoiler]Who's Grant Douglas'? stuff is fun too--although I must admit, I'd have preferred Quentin coming back and knocking on the Old House front door to see his long-lost 'cousin' Barnabas, only to have Barnabas be cold to him like everyone else, leaving Quentin wondering what the hell is up.[/spoiler]But alas, what are you going to do?
Anyway, wanted to 'ring in' on this plotline. Time will tell if it continues to intrique me. It MAY start to drag at the end I suppose, but didn't ALL the plotlines do this in the end?
