after viewing the final alexandra moltke vicki episodes a few months ago i took a "breather" from watching the show.now i'm moving foreward.
however i just couldn't bear to watch the betsy durkin vicki episodes.alexandra is vicki to me.and i just didn't care enough about adam's tedious saga to watch the conclusion of it.
so i skipped ahead(something i never did before)to dvd volume 12(beginning with ep.656).the start of the quentin storyline.also my first dvd(i always watched on vid.).
here maggie is ensconced as collinwood governess.she's just moved in.aside from everything else there are some hilarious continuity and prop gaffes here.when maggie goes to unpack "her" clothes in her new bedroom she pulls out of the suitcase vicki's red a-line dress with the purple sleeves.it was an oft worn fave of vic's...did they think no one would notice
.then she goes to the wardrobe and nothing says victoria winters like a closet full of sleeveless dresses.later in the same episode "maggie's" blue suitcase is packed as amy jenning's for a trip to boston.could they really only spring for one suitcase?
it was interesting to see maggie in vicki's old "governess" persona since after the 1795 storyline they sort of dropped that part of the character and vicki's focus was almost exclusively on jeff.as much as i like maggie i still would love to see how vicki would have handled this new storyline.
these were also joe haskell's final episodes and it was so sad how they treated this character.
anywho since i skipped ahead several episodes i have a few questions.how was vicki's disappearance explained to everyone or was it at all?how did maggie end up at collinwood?
all that said so far i like what i see.no more adam and i simply cannot love that enough.and the david and amy stuff is cool too.david suffered a major slight after 1795 and here he's given a storyline again.
