I don't remember the shows airing now so a lot of this is new to me. Just WHAT is up with Quentin?? What is he trying to accomplish?
My daughter's explanation: "he has some unresolved issues". LOL Yeah -- okay.
I mean, I thought he was haunting David because of his love for Jamison. Well, all he does is kill people, cause trouble, scare the crap out of the kids, and treat David like shit. WHY??
Why did he want to poison Chris? What did he want with the pentagram?
I usually don't bother even wondering about such things on the show - it's a waste of time.
BUT...I can't make sense of Mr. Q-Ghost's motivation.
I wanna smack him!

Well, I HAVE seen it before and I don't understand any better than you. I think we can sum it up with "He's dead and he's PISSED OFF!" The pentagram he wanted, because he doesn't want to be identified. He hates the Collins because of what they did to him. (Which I really don't remember, to tell you the truth). Why he wants to kill his own descendant, I have no idea. I don't think it is to spare him the misery.
Spoiler:
It is amazing how immortality has such an improving effect on his personality! Whew!

ok here it goes and please anyone correct me if I am wrong.
He has to destroy the werewolf which happens to be Chris. He understands what is happening to Chris because he is/was a werewolf himself.
Everyone tried to take his son from him so that is why he is mad at the family and does not want them to know he is there.
And David has questioned him. If I remember Jamison never questioned his father.
If anyone can correct me please do.

That's what I thought at first, but it doesn't make sense because Amy is still a carrier for the curse. If she has a son, it will be passed on down to him.
And just WHY was Quentin trying to strangle David, and then burning his arm? Is that some kind of sick method of mind control?

because like Liz Collins just said his was taken away
and he wants his happiness back again. ( Anne will

Jamison was not Quentin's son, but his brother, Edward's son and a favorite nephew of Quentin's. Quentin had a son - watch and see what happened to him. David Selby liked the name of Jamison so much that he named his Real son Jamison. I think that he does want to end the curse, drive all of the people out of Collinwood (I don't know what he had planned for Amy.
Afan, who loves the 1897 story, but does not like the "monster" Quentin we are seeing now.

Well, you OUGHTA be.

Forget about crying in the West Wing! If you don't do something about straightening that boy out, I just might have to. He's way outta line.

Not only was Jamison not Quentin's son, but Quentin is so far from being a disciplinarian to the kid, it's not even funny.
As for his "reasons," well Quentin was a spoiled (if gorgeous SOB) in life, maybe those qualities just went exponential in death??

ok, Amy is the carrier of the werewolf gene. But would Quentin know that. If he does not, don't you think he would try to destroy what he knew.
Luciaphil is more than right, it probably did carry over to the grave. So Quentin can't help himself.

Let's play the game and this time Quentin is the contestant who loses.;) (VAM, who now feels her arm scorching...)
-
Quentins family also apparently killed him and left his body on the chair to rot away and sealed the room off. That would get his ghost angry!
This theory does not take into account the 1897 as we will soon witness.
-
While people were certainly aware of the fact that particular attributes 'ran in families', the actual concept of genetic factors being passed from parent to child was just beginging to be understood in the medical profession in the late 19th century. It certainly wasn't common knowledge in the general population. Queen Victoria went to her grave still in denial that she and her daughters and granddaughters were responsible for spreading hemophilia across the thrones of Europe.
I've never watched this period of DS....but if they start talking about 'genetic' lycanthropy ::) in 1897, someone should have slapped the writer.
