Many thanks to the MB for the spiffy, gorgeous 1968 New Year's Montage!
1968 is still my all-time favorite DS storyline--it was when I started watching so I guess you always think most fondly of your first love!
Interesting idea to poll about where to go from here. I have fun reading *any* discussions of the show, and I know I can't commit to watching 2 episodes a day, so I will abstain. FWIW, I have been watching the Introduction of Julia shows off and on, and have been having great fun. Last night, oddly, I pulled out a Forever Knight tape that had the episodes of Barnabas' arrival on them. It's been a really long time since I watched those shows (they were on the tape because I often taped FK and DS on the same day while I was at work--back in '99, Sci Fi was playing the shows back to back--this was when they had people with some degree of sense and taste working for the network). I'd forgotten how clever the dialogue in Barnabas' first full episode was--and was surprised to see that the script for that show was authored by Ron Sproat. I may have to revise my opinion of Sproat's writing skills--I'd thought of him as a competent workman, at best.
I watched a couple of scenes, too, with James Hall's Willie. That guy really made my skin crawl--sometimes in a strangely agreeable fashion.

Actually, we're only going to be watching one episode per day. ;)
