do the dates line up with the 1795 timeline? in other words did the episode where Barnabas and Angelique marry tape in late December of 1967?
The ep in which Barn agrees to marry Ang aired on the 21st, which was a Thursday ep.
Barn tells Naomi that he plans to marry Ang on the Friday ep, which aired on the 22nd.
In all five years of its run DS never aired on Christmas Day.
Joshua tries to bribe Ang (unsuccessfully) on the 26th, a Tuesday ep.
Joshua doesn't disinherit Barn for wanting to marry immediately (due to pressure from Ang) until the 29th, which was a Friday ep.
On the 1st, a Monday ep, Ang prepares to marry Barn but gets kidnapped by Jeremiah's Ghost.
And Barn and Ang are actually married on the 2nd, another Tuesday ep.
So, things do take place in and about the holidays even though on the show we haven't got the vaguest idea that the holidays are taking place...
in effect DVD collection 12 being streamed as "season 12". i can think of no other explanation.
I think that's exactly what they do...
