Episode 819: War and Peace

In which I note that Magda, having inherited Julia’s habit of addressing herself to “Barnabas Barnabas,” has started speaking to “Quentin Quentin.”

In which I point out that the Charles/ Amanda relationship starts as an inversion of the Vicki/ Jeff relationship.

Why I don’t think that either Magda or King Johnny has been in Boston all that long.

In which I am surprised that Grayson Hall seems to be using her own native accent throughout the episode.

In which it appears that Dan Curtis has delegated to one of the characters the task of firing an actress from the show.

I note that Count Petofi does not fully understand the powers of his Hand.

In which I opine that the show would be more interesting if Barnabas were smarter.

In which I object to Roger Davis.

I appreciate a beautiful moment between Quentin and Pansy.

A fine moment by Kathryn Leigh Scott.
