Current Talk '05 I / The final Dark Shadows episode. Spoiler Alert.
« on: April 29, 2005, 07:19:34 AM »
I was looking at the final episode and I don't know about anyone else, but to me that episode looked like a cliff hanger that never finished.
Yes Catherine and Bramwell survived the room and Melanie was cured, but when Melanie was bitten by what Ben said looked like a vampire. Did everyone notice how the camera panned to the portrait of Barnabas. Yes... I heard the voice over of Ben saying it was an animal attack, but while he was saying that the camera pans to the window like something more is suppose to happen. As if there is something more sinister to come.
The way that scene felt to me was that what Ben was saying, about it being an animal attack, didn't quite go with the atmosphere in the room. Like it was thrown in because that was going to be the end of the show and they had to resolve it somehow. It was, more or less, as if it ended in the middle of the script and there was another twist to come. We just didn't get to see it.
The fact it ended in the past and not the present was just strange. Maybe that was what makes the way it ended seem like there was something else suppose to happen. It just didn't feel resolved.

Amy: Dr. Hoffman why are you taking a gun on your date with Barnabas?
Dr. Hoffman: Let's just say that this is for a little added assurance that Barnabas won't be looking at every sweet young thing that walks by.

I think it would be cool... Just one thing... It needs to end up on a channel I actually can receive... Most of the time the best shows end up on some channel my cable company doesn't carry.

« on: April 23, 2005, 07:59:00 PM »Jonathan has added two feedbacks to the first page of his website, pointing out just how differently his website can be viewed by a visitor. He found it amusing and hopes everyone else will too.
Amusing... That is the only way to deal with a troll is to laugh at them.

Current Talk '05 I / Re: Did the censor police ever take issue with anything done on Dark Shadows?
« on: April 22, 2005, 09:47:34 AM »
You know after reading a couple of the post on violence toward women. This thought came to mind.
Back then the law didn't really consider a woman being beat up, especially a wife by the husband, that serious a crime. Plus alot of the views on rape were in the same mentality. I know there was a rape trial that my English Teacher was a juror on and she said that the defense attorney was allowed to ask the victim, who was 15 at the time if she enjoyed it. The fact that the piece of trash used a gun and nearly beat the girl to death didn't prevent the defense attorney from asking that offensive question. So with that mentality I would assume that that is how alot of the violence toward women got on all the daytime shows back then.
I can assure you most people would have been more offended if Barnabas had been allowed to bite Willie on the neck, instead of the wrist, more so than any of the violent acts Barnabas ever commited toward Dr. Hoffman when he was trying to kill her.
Because of the bite of a vampire being akin to a sexual act. Couldn't have that happening between two male character's on tv in the 60s. But beating up a woman wasn't that big of a deal.

Heather,
Those are just fantastic... You've definately learned Photoshop very well and putting it to very good use.

I know that I Dream of Jeanie got busted for showing Jeanie's belly button, but did any of the Dark Shadow storylines ever fall victim to the censor police?
