Current Talk '24 I / Re: And Even Yet Another New Slideshow
« on: October 24, 2014, 02:19:31 AM »
Lest we ever forget, almost every incarnation of a Nancy Barrett character (including the poor Carolyn of HODS) became Barnabas fodder:  current time Carolyn, Millicent in 1795, Charity in 1897, the Carolyn of PT 1970; only Leticia escaped, I think (although I suppose Melanie did too; after all, doesn't Ben gently remind us that the bites really were just an animal's?  I wouldn't actually know; I've never seen the last episode all the way through.  I tried really darned hard this time, but 1840 bored the crap outta me and I could NOT get into 1841 PT.  But I digress.  Carolyn Stoddard ... chomped.)

Oh yeah!  Thanks Gothy.  :)  I remember when this was released, I think collectively we writers for Shadows on the Wall were like ... hey!   [hall_rolleyes]

That quote from Elizabeth seems to be one of THE themes driving the series in almost (?) all its incarnations.

Don't you think that Barnabas and Vicki's relationship in the 2012 film is similar?  I'm thinking of the scene at the "happening," where Vicki reveals her troubled past.  I think their connection was less one-sided than it was in, say, 1967.

Can you imagine if they had used NoDS as the inspiration for the '04 retread ... or ever?  Wonder what direction that might have wandered off in ...

It's interesting that they relied on 1991 again for the characterization of Sam Evans, who was the bar tender of the Blue Whale in the revival series without much else to do.

Goth, you may be thinking of a scene from the third issue of Dynamite's defunct DS series -- wherein Angelique goes from 18th century statue to 20th century, pink miniskirted hotsy totsy, torturing Carolyn and sparring with Julia at the Blue Whale.

Stokes?  That's ... so ... COOL!

I always thought he would pop up in the 1991 series, probably played by Stefan Gierasch, sans beard and mustache ("Oh, I'm sorry ... you reminded me of ... my FATHER!  I mean, someone.  I've never met.")  Alas.

Does the 2004 hypothetical Stokes work at Miskatonic U, along with his other Lovecraft-steeped brethren?

Isn't Roger's lines about "a bitch to keep up" echoed in the 2012 film?  Doesn't Willie say something about the house being "a bitch to dust"?  (I could be wrong, though.)  Fascinating, these echoes ... ripples ... Dark Shadows, I love you and your iterations ...

Interesting that Sam runs the Blue Whale and Maggie is fascinated by the tarot, a la the 1991 incarnation.

Reminds me of JosetteGhost's "He's coming" line in the 2012 film.

It kinda kills me that a) this was never picked up, b) it (reputedly) killed Angel on the WB, and c) I QUIT GOING TO FESTS JUST AS IT WAS BEING SHOWN AT THEM!  ... pant, pant.  Sorry.  I get so emotional, baby.

But thanks to all of you for coming up with the slideshow.  I know it's been quite a body of work.  You rule.

SUCH a good show.  You'd love it.   [8_2_59]  (I really just wanted to include those dancing ... um ... smileys.)

MB:  I was thinking about the bat Ang sent to spy on Barnabas in 1795.  Maybe her Tim Burton counterpart had similar tricks up her hooker boots?  (I was going to say "sleeve," but I like hooker boots more.)  [hall_grin]

"Did the henchmen peek through the windows of Julia's lab to learn that? Or did Angie have some sort of an informant at Collinwood?"

MB dearest, she IS a witch ... [hall_wink]
