Current Talk '10 II / Re: Today's Robservations Slideshow
« on: November 10, 2010, 06:58:15 PM »
So much discussion that there's no way I can feature all of the recent captures, but here are several of my favorite moments (sorted by years rather than days):
1966: Ep #96 - While taking refuge from the storm, Roger
tries a bit too eagerly to persuade Vicki not to mention
THE PEN to anyone, which raises her suspicions.
1966: Ep #97 - After Liz and Roger claim to see no
resemblance between Betty and Vicki...
1966: Ep #97 - ...Carolyn enters and says she thinks the
portrait looks exactly like Vicki.
1967: Ep #357 - Carolyn catches Julia with the notebook.
1967: Ep #357 - Julia feels 'almost safe' when Tony agrees
to put her notebook in his safe.
1967: Ep #358 - After Julia confronts Carolyn with the
hypodermic needle Carolyn put in her room, Carolyn
warns Julia that she must control herself.
1969: Ep #880 - ...all Judith will do is ask if he's enjoying his
'retreat.'
And we mustn't neglect from '68:
1968: Ep #620 - Angelique attacks Barnabas with the intent
of leaving him to die.
Given Carolyn's remarks to Julia, I always took Liz denial to Jason to mean that they didn't dress to the nines for dinner, meaning gowns and expensive jewels for the women and tuxedos for the men, which is what one very often sees in films and other TV shows. At Collinwood one was simply expected to wear something more appropriate than their version of daytime casual clothes. Though considering how most of the characters daytime attire consisted of wearing dresses and suits, there really wasn't much need for most of them to change their dress all that much. (Though something like slacks on women (which wasn't seen that often on DS) would have definitely been frowned upon at the dinner table back then.)

Veering off-topic a bit...I was watching episode 196 recently, in which Jason McGuire worms his way into Collinwood. He asks Liz if they dress for dinner, and she says no. All I can figure is that Liz is always so elegantly dressed that she doesn't think about dressing for dinner, whereas Carolyn has to change her clothes to meet her mother's dinnertime standards.
