Creepy handyman hasn't been seen since he opened the wrong coffin. However, 'Cousin' Barnabas has just shown up. <br /><br />Gotta wonder where he found the modern suit & tie if he's been stuck in a coffin for the last 180 years or so. <br /><br />Barnabas, for someone who supposedly grew up in England, you're missing the accent. <br /><br />Barnabas, did you get a crash course in 'how not to sound like an antiquated dork' from Willie? You are far too smooth here.<br /><br />Victoria, did you just send the kid out to play? Barnabas is in the study. That means it's dark out. You hate the kid, right?<br /><br />Oops, he still sounds antiquated to the kid. Needs to work on those modern English lessons. <br /><br />Time for <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23darkshadows&amp;src=hash">#darkshadows</a> ep. 4...<br />&mdash; Dragoness Eclectic (<span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://dragoness-e.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://dragoness-e.dreamwidth.org/'><b>dragoness_e</b></a></span>) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dragoness_E/statuses/346805943436201985">June 18, 2013</a><br /><br />Victoria, you sound stoned whenever you're narrating. <br /><br />Caroline, if you need to take a taxi to get home from the pub, how did you get there? Teleport? <br /><br />Meh. Thought we were going to find out why Blackmailing Git is blackmailing Elizabeth. Nope. Just hints and relationship angst. <br /><br />On to ep 5<br /><br />'That door was shut tight! How did you open it?' <br />'With a little technique & practice'. <br />Yes, Barnabas knows about doorknobs.<br /><br /><i>Context: 'the wind' blew the double door shut. Victoria tugs hard on the doorknobs, can't open the door. Barnabas steps up to the door, <b>turns the doorknob</b>, and the 'stuck' door opens.</i><br /><br />Old Collins House should be on the Historic Register. And ought to be restored, if everything Barnabas says is correct.<br /><br />Enter Uncle Roger. Egads, that suit is hideous!<br /><br />Barnabas, you've noticed the rest of the Collins household is oblivious, so you're making these sly hints to us, aren't you?<br /><br />"Dear viewers: I am undead. Thus my quips about 'the house not being INTENDED as a tomb' & how living the other Collins are. <br /><br />Victoria is still boggling over Barnabas's skill at turning doorknobs.<br /><br />Apparently, Barnabas does drink... wine.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dragoness_e&ditemid=113902" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-12-22:1181069:112124 2013-03-02T19:07:52Z 2014-03-13T23:36:12Z public 0 This is a rant; if you think I'm talking about you, I may well be, but you are not the only one.
