Excuse me, that is NOT a wolf's head cane, it looks much more like a greyhound.  Are we supposed to think that Sabrina hasn't seen a doggy since that momentous day? Sheessh.

I think we can give up the thought that Ned is operating out of care for his sister now. His chip on the shoulder has encompassed any genuine feelings he may have ever had. Screaming at her, manhandling and not caring if she has a breakdown ( What is it she already had?) is not love in my book. It IS awfully nice of him to put her makeup on each day and select such lovely, flattering frocks for her to wear though.... Oh, and if she can't speak, WHAT would make him think she doesn't remember??? I would guess that she DOES remember and perhaps forgetting would be better. But not our Neddieboy, no sir.

Note to Chris: I hope that you no longer hand out keys to your home willy nilly without getting them back. Not a good idea in your case.

Note to Julia: Uhhh, you offered Wyndcliffe for Sabrina, which was an OK idea, sure. But, WHAT ABOUT AMY? One child has disappeared, noone can keep track of even one child, couldn't you have thought of it for her?

I am getting further creeped out by Roger Davis, this grabbing stuff is past disturbing. The poor girl has to sit there like a zomby while he can do what he wants. Am I the only one to think that he is probably copping a feel whenever the camera is off of him? I'm serious, in some scenes you can hear him breathing and it isn't as though he just did an action stunt!

She "catches" him with a book on ghosts and wonders why he's interested? Ummmm, Carolyn dear, that is the most NORMAL thing we've seen in David.

When he asks if she's ever seen a ghost, she says "Why, have YOU?" Hello? You were there when Davey was making noises to anyone who would listen that all of his best friends were ghosts! C'mon, it hasn't been THAT long. For Davey's pals, Josette and little Sarah come to mind. I can't remember if he saw Bill Malloy or not, I know Vicky did. Any others since the beginning up to now? Other than Beth and Quentin, of course.

It has been a while since the beginning of the show, but I am thinking that the cottage we see Chris in bears no resemblence to the one Vicky visited Matthew in. Not that that's surprising. Anyone able to verify that? I still can't figure out why little Missy Hot Pants said that about him living there, it looks great to me. (Of course, we ALL know that she was just asking to be killed for her decidedly sexual aggressiveness.)

Carolyn tells Chris it is isolated and very private. And yet, when Mrs. Johnson gets the bejeebers scared out of her, the scream is loudly heard at Collinwood. And yet, Naggie has to ask the children where it is?? OK, Naggie's not the brightest bulb, so that doesn't mean a much as it could. But, I am sniffing some major contradiction.

For another topic, it seems Chris could be Naggie's intellectual match. He seemed completely mystified by Amy burning his shirt! It never occurred to him this could be a wise thing to do? It is a good thing that he is wearing relatively non-descript clothing, a bright paisley or such would be an instant revealer! (At least, he is THAT smart.) I can just hear Carolyn though, "That wild beast is wearing Chris's shirt! Oh no, he must have killed him and stolen his apparel! After all, Chris is WAY too cute for me to suspect HIM!"

We now definitively know that noone in Collinwood ever "goes to the bathroom".  My evidence? Naggie's reaction to Chris NOT answering the phone while he was home. You'd think there was no logical explanation for this whatsoever. And he did NOT reply "What do you THINK, Naggie? I was taking a DUMP!"

Aside from that, memo to Chris:

When you are turning into a werewolf and someone knocks on the door DO NOT SAY "Who is it?"!!! Uhhh, you see, if you just don't say anything, they will think you are really not home and leave. Telling them to leave without opening the door never works, it just pisses them off. Remember Joe? Oh, and since they are no toilets in Collinsport, don't do the dysentery dance as your changeover.

Memo to Naggie:

Did you REALLY think playing hide and seek was a good idea?

Memo to Lizzie:

Next time you hire a governess, she should be smarter than the children.

Memo to Carolyn:

Get a copy of "The Rules". Also, you weigh all of 92 pounds. Going through the woods at night is a BAD idea.

"You will NEVER understand, Ben,.... because this plotline is the biggest load of b.s. ever to hit the airwaves! I mean, REALLY, Mr. Thayer, uhhh...I mean, Ben, do you honestly think ANYONE is buying this?"

Peter Bradford (doing his very best whack-a-mole imitaton): "I love you, Vicky, I love you Vicky. I WILL FIND YOU!!!! (And when I do, I will scream, rant, whine and generally make your life a living hell in my inability to accept the fact that I found you!)"

Lara Parker looked especially radiant and lovely today.

OK, OK, I admit it- whatsherface is a much better Vicky than Betsey. She may be a better Vicky than Vicky. She is exceptionally beautiful and seems to be able to hold her own with the others AND say her lines well. (She made me wax rhapsodic for the long ago day that I had a jawline, then I remembered that mine never did look that great. I miss it anyway.)

I just think Betsey-wetsey-behind the ears got a raw deal being hired for a part that she wanted to make her own instead of an impossible imitation. She wasn't greatness personified, but we have seen plenty of actresses far worse.

today's shows were just outstanding! Beth is so unusually beautiful and quite the match for our man Q. The whole storyline is quite creepy and works.

David and Amy make a great "Bad Seed" duo. And they both act it to perfection. I am not one that can keep track of who wrote which and who directed what, I am doing good to keep track of the actors. BUT, I think the director must have been exceptional to get such understated performances from these young people. Most tv shows with kids on them just let them overemote and act "precious". When these kids do that it is part of the act. Brilliant.

Which is NOT the word I could use to describe Lizzie's reaction to them. Duh! Her trust in David giving his word is a scream. At least Barney was suspicious. That really did even the whole scene out.

I love DS so much that I even love it when it is "bad". Their bad is better than most show's good. BUT, every once in a while it is pure greatness on every level.

Ummmm, yes. Perhaps it is because I am middleaged, but I have to wonder if talk about LOVE could be made the same way today. Vicky just sounds like an ass. I know that isn't unusual for her character, but I wonder if soap operas today would have that type of love that defies all reason today?

I sincerely hope that we are past love being an excuse to act totally inappropriately. Although, I am reminded of Alexandra Moltke herself in the Von Bulow (or whatever) trial. She was testifying against him, (being now out of love), and justifying her former silence with "Haven't you ever been in love?" This was still a while ago, though, I wouldn't call it current.

"He's here." "He's gone." "He's an astral manifestation!"

The part of Jeffy Clark will be played today by an annoying light.

I don't have to hear Adam's voice again? All through today, I kept thinking, he's got to be gone soon.... and then I come here and there is the montage! Yippee!

In SPITE of Adam AND Jeff/Peter, today's shows were really wonderful. So much happening.

Earth to Carolyn and Prof. Stokes: Exactly HOW many times does Adam have to kidnap and try to kill innocent people before you realize that he isn't really a sweet teletubby at heart? He has a few moments in which he seems pleasant, when everything is going his way. This was true of Ted Bundy too. It doesn't mean anything.

Can't you just hear it if Carolyn HAD married him?

Adam: "WHAT?! You are going to Bangor AGAIN with your mother? You have too many clothes NOW! I think I will have to kill your muthhheerrr!

Carolyn: "Ohhhh, Adam, don't talk that way. I could almost think you are serious. A girl can never go shopping enough. Perhaps I'll get you another sweater."

Adam: "I mean it! I'll kill her! You have hurt me and I will get back at you!.....   A sweater? You would buy me a sweater? Can I go too?"
