Current Talk '02 II / Forget the past; no one will notice.

« on: August 15, 2002, 01:43:25 PM »

Well, when I saw the scene between Julia and Barn when they were talking about the drug to kill Eve and how it works, I was thinking to myself... wouldn't it be easier for Julia to say...

We'll be using the same thing I used on Dr. Woodard, Barn. Nuff said.

They talked about it like it was something new. Barn was asking questions about it, when he should have known all about the effects, considering he had a hand in the Woodard murder.

One other thing... how many times do we have to see Angeliques reflection in a mirror? She's a vampire, right?

Whew... got that off my chest.

Current Talk '02 II / The game of life.. and chess

« on: July 01, 2002, 07:08:05 PM »

After watching these episodes today, I realize that though I don't really like the story line as a whole, some of today's dialogue was top notch. I think the chess match between Julia and Stokes(both literal and symbolic) was a highlight as well as Blair's manipulation of Adam. In it's early stages it is so right on the money. It reflects real life, and how people use and play other people for their own gain.

Some of the individual episodes in this story line is very entertaining, but as a whole I think it becomes a little drawn out.

Also, I've said it countless times... If Julia would just tell Stokes the truth, he could have really helped them out.

Current Talk '02 I / Another side of Angelique

« on: June 20, 2002, 04:23:52 AM »

I'm really enjoying these most recent episodes with Nicholas Blair. Not only is his acting very enjoyable, and he has some great lines to work with, but his interaction with Angelique is great. It's obvious he is the more powerful, and treats her as such.

With that, we see flaws in Angelique that adds another interesting dimension to her character. Even with Nicholas telling her that her dream curse is petty and not worth bothering with, her love/hate of Barnabas is so strong that it blinds her and makes her ignore how Blair thinks she should conduct herself.

Spoiler....

It will eventually cost her, and Blair has bigger fish to fry anyway.

Current Talk '02 I / And in this corner... Prof. Stokes

« on: June 06, 2002, 07:47:41 PM »

Though the current storyline is my least favorite, I really enjoyed the battle between Angelique and Prof. Stokes in the dream. I always loved the character of Prof. Stokes, and wished Julia and Barn were more up front with him on things.

He never seemed like the type who would run to the police immediately and tell on Barn. I think he would have done everything possible to help. And like I said before, he did always seem to know more about what is going on than he let on.

Round 1 goes to Prof. Stokes. On to round 2.

Current Talk '02 I / Adam's brain

« on: May 22, 2002, 04:15:10 AM »

After watching today's episode, I can't help but think of another way it could have played out right after Adam was sedated by Julia...

Barnabas: Julia, sit down.

Julia: What is it Barnabas?

Barnabas: Tell me, what is the name of the person that Clark got the brain from.

Julia: Abby. Abby somebody.

Barnabas: Abby Normal?

Julia: Yeah, that's it.

I couldn't help myself

Current Talk '02 I / Temptation with the FF button

« on: May 20, 2002, 12:53:00 AM »

I have finally gotten to the point in the series where I have seen every episode. I always tape the show and watch it with my wife after work. This is the first time she has seen these episodes at this point, but I find myself tempted to fast foward through most of the dream curse until they come to the last door.

I didn't because my wife hasn't seen them, but on the last one, she told me to fast foward. I love Dark Shadows and have so since I was young, but the Dream Curse sequences and even the characters passing along the curse by telling their dream to someone else is really getting .... well you know.

Once again, I can't wait for Nicolas Blair to knock on the front door of Collinwood for the first time!!!

Current Talk '02 I / Sorry, the dog ate my script!

« on: May 14, 2002, 07:14:24 PM »

Is it just me, or is everyone having problems with their lines on the most recent episodes? Monday was a hoot, because they looked at the teleprompter more than they looked at the other actors.

I know this happens all the time on the show, but yesterday was bad. I can think of two reasons for the possible drop off in the actors delivery of their lines...

... the actors didn't like or understand the direction the show was going in at the time.

or

... there were a lot of rewrites to the script right before taping the show.

I'm looking foward to Nicolas Blair showing up. It seems to bring a breath of fresh air to the show.

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 I / long time reader, first time poster

« on: March 01, 2002, 01:03:49 AM »

I've been following the board around for a few years, but I have never posted. A little scared, I guess. After seeing the new board and it's format, I knew I had to register!

Every day, I check the forum several times (As well as the Robservations on the Sci-fi board), and I have been visiting for so long, I feel like I know so many of you.

This is the first time seeing the complete 1795 for me, but I have seen all the other storylines before now.

Good job on the new board... Whoever did all the work should be very proud!
