I think the first time they told it, in the 1967 pre-Barnie eps, it was cool and interesting, and Diana was fabulous!  But it was rather  tiresome and played out when they did it again in the 1897 plotline.

Interesting topic, for me, I am rather picky as to what I want to rewatch, 1795, isolated episodes in 1968 with Barnabas and Cassandra/Angelique, parts of 1897 (yes, the Barnabas/Angelique stuff...), a FEW Leviathan, and then 1840/1841PT.  You should definitely give the last year a try, if only to see Jonathan play another character, Bramwell, and a lot of the stuff in 1840 is pretty good.....but I can see being burnt out if you have watched the whole thing for four years, I hope you did not buy ALL the DVDs--that is so expensive!!!!

because i started from episode one i started on vhs and continued as such for the next three years.i also didn't own a dvd player until last christmas.since i only received two or three vhs volumes a month it was taking me forever to get through this thing.three years just to get to the end of the vicki episodes.with the start of the quentin hauntings i switched to dvd and things picked up in speed alot.

still i have a massive pile of videos and dvds and as many of us here have have probably spent what amounts to several thousand dollars on this once it's all added up.

as for 1840 i just can't work up any enthusiasm for it right now.they mystery being set up during the summer of 1970 just isn't tempting me to go for it.

Mscbryk, if you have a Netflix account you can rent the 1840 DVDs from there, if they ever get volume 25 in their inventory!!

About the only parts I can't stand are certain bits of the Adam storyline when he's all arrogant, really just 10 minutes worth of stuff here and there, and the entire "Turn Of The Screw" stuff when [spoiler]Quentin is posessing the kids.[/spoiler] Thier constant squealing really grates on my nerves.  I can watch maybe the first 10 episodes of that, but then it just exceeds my capacity for tolerance.  And Roger Clark when he's engaged to Vicki - I can watch it I guess, but good grief somebody should just whack that guy with a fireplace poker or something.

I've just got DVD sets 5-15, and those are the only parts I use the "skip" button on.

It's ironic isn't it, that two of the character/actress replacements that most fans seem to hate the most (Amanda Harris & Betsy Durkin replacing Alexandra) turned out to be played by two of the NICEST women!  ;)

I really can not stand the Adam and Eve storyline.  Actually anything from mid 1968 to early 1969, with the exception of a few nice moments, is a real bore.  If I never see those storylines again it will be too soon.  Everything else is just wonderful!


As for Maggie Evans, I can't stand her!  She's so whiny.  It's just her incessant whining and complaining!

There isn't any one entire storyline that I would not watch but there are episodes the bore the living daylights out of me.  One such subplot is the Liz "I'm going to die" plot!  Every time Liz comes on screen talking about her death, I just want to screem "Die already"!!! Actually I don't want HER to die, more the idea of Cassandra's spell on her thoughts around dying.

Another part of a storyline that got me stark raving mad was the ending of the Leviathan story.  I didn't understand some of what was going on, seemed choppy, but basically it was interesting... in the beginning.  [spoiler]After Jeb destroyed the alter and the ghost of Bradford returned to seek revenage on the Leviathan leader, I started screaming.[/spoiler] IMO, they ruined the ending completely for me.[/size]

Darn, I tried for a long time to figure out how to add the spoiler code to my message and of course only found out AFTER I posted the message.  When I figured it out and came back to the message, it was too late to modify it.  Sorry!  I did add the spoiler line in this message!  :o

It's no problem.  You tried and succeeded, and that's what matters!  [oky]

Thanks Midnite, I knew you'd eventually fix it but not until you logged in.  :D
