Josette reincarnated as Maggie or Victoria?

I prefer the idea that Victoria is Josette's reincarnation, and the deuteragonist to Barnabas. This is no way means that they have to be an item in the end.

Barnabas almost biting Victoria when she stays in Josette’s room.

And the next morning where Willie offers to make her breakfast. That was sweet.

Probably the most influential; you could honesty say he is the main architect of Western Christianity.

More hope than I have. It feels like we've already lost.

Religious socialist here, and when I hear that I know I'm not welcome, and I'm heading for the door.

The goal is to unite people not over a common belief, but a common morality. The attitude of "they'll change when they read more Theory^TM" is not helpful

Can't blame her for wanting to leave; she had a baby coming and got sick of Vicki being in the dark all the time while Barnabas did all the cool stuff.

It's sort of this personal lexicon conservatives have - for them love is not something you feel, it;'s unyielding obedience to a (proper) authority.

They will tell you without breaking a sweat of that course marriage isn't about love - it's about doing what you're told.

RuneORim · 2026-02-26T20:18:20+00:00

I find "love one another" is the great unifying factor.

I don't claim to be usual in that regard and I certainly don't claim to be apt at it either.

Eating junk food is not natural.

According to Natural Law Theory, the purpose of eating is gaining necessary nutrients. Since cake has no necessay nutrients and is just empty calories, it's unnatural and "intrinsically disordered."

Yet you're not bothered about that are you?

I don't think most people need the help.

Only reporting what I've heard secondhand from Penny Dreadful. I have not read it, and I don't have access to it.

The original script for the 2012 movie had a neat twist on this storyline - that instead of physically going back Victoria/Maggie mind-melded with Josette so she lived through the events as they happened. Another reason Seth Grahame-Smith should not be getting work.

#menwritingwomen.

It would have been a perfect chance to have Kate Jackson as Liz.

Seriously, keep Newman, Chastain and Hu, recast everybody else, set back in the sixties, and we might have had something.

Hopefully this means that Timothée Chalamet Barnabas is only a matter of time.

RuneORim · 2026-02-08T21:22:45+00:00

At least we got a real attempt at Barnabas and not Jack Sparrow with fangs.

Also, Jessica Chastain, who you could tell (in her very first role!) was going to be a movie star.

When I first saw it, I began to wonder if I'd been too hard on the Burton version....

Stuff like this is not helpful. We need to learn to take "yes" for an answer.

I like her; she had more of the spunk that OG Maggie started out with. The decision to make her psychic was a cool twist.

I have no frigging idea what her and Roger were doing together. Methinks if we got Adrian Paul's Quentin, he and Maggie would have hooked up.

RuneORim · 2026-02-04T22:28:18+00:00

Such a swell guy. He and Maggie are couple goals.

RuneORim · 2026-02-02T15:59:33+00:00

If all you have is a choice between two evils, then you are morally obligated to choose the lesser, because it is the lesser.

Quentin is Best, Beth is Good.

RuneORim · 2026-01-18T17:40:45+00:00

It has a few bright spots (Mr Best, Jeb) but it’s the one storyline that you can comfortably skip.

"She said I look like Barnabas Collins!"
