BATB was meant to be an instant recognition soul-mate two halves of the same whole kind of thing, not a relationship persay. Shades of Grey is still one of my favorite episodes that is based on that idea. They just KNOW things about one another. It's not just Vincent's 'animal' senses; Catherine can always tell too.
I try to think of the film quality like sepia-toned photos, pictures from the past. Once upon a time.... The show meant a good deal to me when it aired so it has the aura of that meaning left. My favorite parts were always about the tunnels and the society they had built up there. The history and the natural beauty of the caves, the Hall of Whispers, the waterfall, Winterfest, the Helpers, the Borrowers aspect of their lives (they use what we throw away)--that is very NYC. I still have bits of furniture street-scavenged in NYC and Boston. And of course the books and the poetry and the music.
In some ways it hasn't aged well, but it has in my memory.
