Moments/People That Make You Wanna Kick the TV In
« on: May 19, 2005, 05:56:48 PM »
Good Day to All!

I have to go to my boyfriend's father's funeral today :'(. I still am watching him and his unrealistic thinking that I love to blow off, LOL. ^-^

Okay, enough about me.

Please name a charcter, scene, moment, and/or other aspects of DS that made you so angry that you just wanted to kick the TV in. >:(

Examples: Carolyn's bratty moods, Vicki in 1795, Leviathans Story Line, certain actors who more or less can act, etc.

I will be back on these boards tomorrow,

Love, dvlvan26 who is on summer hiatus from college and always job-hunting :)

I always got angry when Barnabas was trying to make Maggie in Josette. I always thought he was crazy thinking he could change someones personality. Another thing that makes me angry is the last episode of DS doesn't really wrap up the show very well. These are just my opinions though.

Barnabas....Every time he appears on screen, from the opening of the casket to the day they shipped Willie Loomis off to Wyndcliffe.  After that he just wasn't worth the ulcer I was getting. [vryevl].

Beth.....She not only tolerated abuse, she went in search of it.  I kept expecting her to throw herself on the floor so someone could wipe his shoes on her dress. I found her scenes with Quentin unbearable to watch.  She was about as badly conceived a character as there ever was on DS, in my opinion.

But that's just me...... [disgust]

- When Willie was sent to Wyndcliff
- Victoria in 1795 and the character's downward spiral after that
- When Angelique destroyed Barnabas and Josette's relationship
- Adam, Dr. Lang, Nicholas Blair and the experiment
- Quentin & Amanda
- Barnabas and the Leviathans
- Megan & Phillip at the antique shop
- The Leviathan storyline in general
- Barnabas & Angelique at the end of 1840
- 1841 PT: the last storyline of the show
- the way the show rarely let a couple have an actual relationship for more than a few episodes
- the fact that they never explored who Victoria is
- the way they drop storylines so suddenly in favor of others without a good wrap up or transition

This oughta be fun. I'll just respond before I look at any one else's answers and see how we match up later. :p Warning. Everything in here will be spoilage, so keep out if you haven't seen the first half of DS.

1.) Joe Haskell and his over-protective boorish behavior in the presence of Willie Loomis in defense of Maggie. Granted all evidence pointed in Willie's direction that he was indeed the one who kidnapped Maggie, but I thought he was a jerk anyway for punching Willie in the gutt.
2.) During the Maggie kidnapping storyline, MAGGIE WALKED RIGHT BY THE DOOR and down to the basement when she was going to offer Willie the jewels in exchange for her escape. She could have left right then and no one would have been the wiser! Door locked from the inside? Jump out a window! Geez!
3.) No one listened to David Collins.
4.) Willie getting shot just before he went to Wyndcliffe. Poooooor baby!!!
5.) Julia's irreparable habit of dangling her little medallion in the face of those who held the memory that Barn was an A**H***. Sorry to be so blunt. :) At least I censored it.
6.) Two words: "willie beater"
7.) When Barnabas acted like ever the perfect citizen when Willie was implicated for Mag's kidnapping. And of course he was oblivious...
8.) Tom Jennings never got naked.
9.) Alexandra Moltke left the show.
10.) And last but certainliy not least: Magtoria

The one Character I honestly did not care for was Horace Gladstone >:D he was such a pushy type man who only seemed to be sticking his nose in what was clearly not his business... I felt Gladstone got his just rewards when he was done in.  ^-^

When Barnabas declared that the dying Angelique was his one true love. Sorry, Angelique/Barn fans, but I just don't buy it. Never did, never will.

I agree with you 100%

Another moment when I wanted to kick the TV was when Charity Trask staked Barnabas, because I thought that he was gone for good.

Yeah - me neither.  What a crock.

Anyway, the mockery of justice that was the trial of 1840 Quentin.  And Trask's participation in it.

 :P    :P    :P    :P    :P   AND   :P

(No wonder -- the idiot judge turned out to be Dr. Lang)  lol

::applauds:: That was just ridiculous. Hi! You contributed to the death of half my family AND my beloved long-sought after fiancee. But I STILL LOVE YOU! What a joke. Now that's a rating's ploy if I"ve ever seen one. ~DJ

I just never cared at all for any of Marie Wallace's characters.

With Megan and Phillip...besides the Leviathan factor (though that's more than enough, to be honest - ugh)  it's more of "Who are these people, and why am I supposed to care about them?" sort of thing. I just wanted them to get off my screen so I could get back to the characters that I actually cared about.
