Ange to Alexis: "You were always the innocent one, so content with life as it was."
Ange to Alexis' body: "You always were the considerate one."
Yeah, yeah, we get it. Angelique is evil, Alexis is good. No need to hammer it home.
A to A again: "You will take my place in the coffin. And I will take yours at Collinwood."
Fabulous stuff!!!
Cyrus to Chris: "John Yaeger is an acquaintance of mine I met recently and he's going to help me in my new experiment."
Yaeger is an old friend, he's a new friend, he's just a test subject. He can't seem to keep the story straight.
Quentin: "We'll take the coffin outside and put a torch to it. ... Cyrus, we don't have any other choice. I can hardly go to the proper officials and say that my wife has been dead for over 6 months but the body has yet to be decomposed."
Um, couldn't they just seal the body back inside the tomb and tell no one? I mean, how is it sneakier to burn a huge coffin in the open at nighttime? And stop calling her your wife, Quentin; but then again, if Quentin put more thought into the things he says, his current wife probably wouldn't have left.
And how about what Nicholas told Megan during the Leviathans storyline?: "Burning a corpse merely disposes of a body; the spirit of that body cannot be burned." The same writer who gave us that line (Gordon Russell), btw, also wrote this episode.
Quentin, after taking one last look at the body: "It's unbelievable. She was as beautiful as she was. Still is."
LOL
DarkShadowsOnline.com has this to say about
Don Briscoe:
In his final episode, which aired in early 1970, he was clearly unwell.
Except for the fact that he only had 1 scene, I don't see signs of unwellness. What am I supposed to be looking for?
Was Dameon
really trying to warn Quentin here about Angelique? Had his ghost not haunted the house at all, I can't imagine that Quentin would have wanted to open his wife's tomb, so it would seem that Dameon paved the way for Angelique's return. No?
Ang/Alexis switch. We zoom past what would have been a very awkward scene, Ang stripping self and Alexis, Ang inching the clothes onto Alexis bit by bit, cursing, then lifting and dumping her sister into the coffin, missing a time or two, maybe a limb is pinned under the body or flopping out strangely at first. All the while Trask hears twenty minutes of grunts and curses and impacts on the ground, wondering whether to help, then deciding not to and never ever saying why... now that's comedy.
The manner of her death was horrible from start to finish - being psychically called from Italy to die painfully for her evil twin
Alexis didn't come to to Collinwood on her own??
then I guess she's just dead (except maybe she wasn't quite dead yet...).
I'm sure that Alexis is dead when we see her in the coffin. I think the reason Angelique pushed to have it burned as soon as possible was that it would decompose normally, and that would definitely arouse the suspicions of Quentin and Cyrus.
