Even Miss Winthrop didn't like those frickin' palm trees! Palm trees! AAAAAHHHHHH...........!!!!!!!!!
But I suspect that might be because she has yet to realize just how perfectly in keeping with all the other extremely odd flora of the region palm tress really are.
And to that end for those who may have missed it the first time around, check out:
And as far as palm trees in Collinsport goes, once and for all let's get real -
Also, even though palms would seem to be perfectly suited to Collinsport, so far as I'm aware (thanks to the numerous times they've been mentioned) the palm trees in the '91 series are only glimpsed in one scene for a few seconds in the distance (Midnite posted screen captures in this post:
). It's not like they showed up in every or even every few outdoor scenes - or even in every episode. Faulting an entire series for one brief (perceived) slip up seems a bit harsh, no?
And the probably more pertinent thing so far as the Depp/DS film goes is that any palm trees that made it into frame for the '04 pilot were digitally removed (no doubt simply because no one realized how truly appropriate they really were
), so chances are that if the Depp/DS film were to be filmed in CA, and the same were to happen, they would more than likely be removed as well...
