COLLECTION 7 DISK 4, before watching it a 2nd time

Saturday, May 18, 2013 8:32 PM


Here's what i want from watching the last disk of collection 7 again:
Naomi's speech before she kills herself.
The revelation that Joshua loved Naomi all along after all, though she she and Barnabas thought he didn't.
The last look between Barnabas & Joshua, before Barnabas gets in his coffin expectiing his father to destroy him before he wakes up, so he'll never wake up again. I wanted to see who directed that episode, who directed them in that long, meaningful gaze.
The scene in which he was going to bite Millicent again, the way he looks at her. Then when Vickie gets back to the 20th century, Barnabas looks at her that same way.
He looks at the living, pulsing throat, longingly. He brushes the hair back, almost tenderly. then opens his mouth ferociously.
It's that sudden change from tender longing to ferocious attack that's so erotic. (Lara Parker was probably sorry she never had a scene like that with Jonathan Frid, so she had to write terrible novels imagining it.) (Though there is one erotic scene between Barnabas & Angelique that was never shown, just obliquely referred to, but I imagined it as vividly as if I had seen it, the young gentleman and heir to the estate and the voodoo savvy maid of his fiance's aunt, who imagined that it meant something to him and wrought terrible revenge when it turned out it didn't.)
