OK, Maggie's in mortal peril, and we've got a Jason Plot day. If I were Dr. Woodard, I'd recommend that Dark Shadows be sent to Windcliff for treatment of its multiple personality disorder.
The episode was enjoyable I didn't find it gripping. I like seeing Dennis Patrick make Jason's lines flow like whisky at an Irish wedding. I like seeing Joan Bennett's Elizabeth trying to maintain her dignity in very undignified circumstances. I've never been a big fan of either Carolyn or Vicky, but any Louis Edmonds character is always a pleasure to watch. Still...not gripping.
I wish we could have seen Jason's debut at the cannery. Roger fuming, Jason broguing, secretaries swooning, Burke dropping in to set his official seal of disapproval on Jason's new career - has anybody out there written a fan fiction about Jason at the cannery?
