SPECULATING ON SPECS
« on: October 12, 2002, 04:19:07 PM »
Looking at Ezra Braithewaite with two pairs of glasses made me ponder how many other characters on DS wore as I call them specs. Who are they?

    I think Cyrus Longworthy's glasses were special sorta like Clark Kents.  When the mild mannered Cyrus slipped off his glasses he became Super"homicidal pervert" man.[evily]

What was the good Doctor's name who met his demise after telling Laura Collins he was going to expose her?

BTW, does this soap opera tendency drive anyone else nuts? If I knew a phoenix/vampire/werewolf/ghost or even just a plain every day murderer, I would smile politely and try to get away ASAP. No way would I be blabbing my mouth off about how I'm going to tell the world!

Speeking of specs, I can't wait to get rid of mine. I am scheduled for Lasik vision correction surgery on Oct. 24th.

If Im not mistaken, I remember Barnabas putting on a pair of reading glasses every so often when he had to read or write something.

I never saw Barnabas don specs, but Jonathan Frid wore them in some of the photos I saw in magazines when back then.

Count Petofi wore those huge Coke bottle lenses, as I recall.

Love, Robin
