Current Talk '05 I / The June 27th Episodes (Spoilers!)
« on: June 27, 2005, 11:19:04 PM »
One thing that I found interesting while rewatching the DS episodes that originally ran on June 27th was how certain elements of the stories either reference things that had happened the previous year or compare/contrast with previous events. For example, in episode #1 Vicki begins her friendship with Maggie when she first meets her at the coffee shop and in episode #262, thinking that Maggie has been killed by the "maniac" (I love how that's the way they constantly refer to Maggie's kidnapper ), Vicki recalls that meeting.
It's also interesting, though hardly surprising to see how much the supernatural elements overtake the action as the show progresses. There's absolutely nothing supernatural going on in eps #1 and #262. However, in ep #523 we have a warlock running around town looking for his missing witch "sister". And by ep #785 all manner of supernatural things are taking place what with Minerva's ghost terrorizing Judith, a man whose been terribly dfisfigured by a disembodied hand with magical powers, and a gypsy who attermpts to use said hand to remove a werewolf curse. And not once in ep #785 does anyone offer to serve tea. It's enough to make one wonder if the impeccible Collins manners that Liz exhibits in ep #1 skipped a couple of generations.
