I wondered how a mute Julia could say anything. Perfect, Callie!

If your talking about the Kenneth Bruce Bald comics it looks like Seaview to me.
But the main thing for me is that I am spending a lot less time on the Internet. I probably average an hour and a half per day on the Internet.
I suppose for me acceptance is all about separating the original series from any and all other versions of DS - and having a different house be Collinwood goes a long way in helping that separation. Seaview as Collinwood is an icon I will always lovingly associate with the original series. But I don't really want to associate Seaview with other versions of DS because they aren't the original version of DS, nor should they be expected to be. They should be allowed to stand completely on their own.
"They can honour the original and stand alone as solid entertainment at the same time."
All along we've been told that this movie must stay true to the original concept. That was the agreement Dan Curtis made with Johnny Depp's production company.
i didn't say i didn't enjoy NODS.i got a kick out of it in a b-movie kind of way.
just that the alternate location(not seaview)and certain castings gave the film a mood that wasn't dark shadows to me.
That's an excellent point and one I hadn't thought of - it would be like handing off the baton to a new generation instead of cutting the tie.
a whole new fanbase for DS - one whose main exposure to DS will be the film and not any previous versions. They'll hope we'll like the film - but we alone aren't a significant enough group to either make or break the film at the box office.
BUT I CAN'T POST A TEXT MESSAGE!!!
Why should I need to upgrade to do that??
I am absolutely flabbergasted at the results of this poll so far. ... but I guess I thought a lot more fans of the original series would want a Seaview presence in the new movie. ...
Anyhow, I thought I would make a case for it as I feel quite strongly about it, and even more so since I originally posted and have had time to think it through.
