Still hopeful this will get made and be good.
Barnabas will need a love intrest, so it's inevitable that there will be a love story with Josette/Maggie/Vicky in some variation. Just hope they'll find a fresh angle.
It occured to me tonight if this does get made there will be tons of merchandising. DS swag yay! Maybe a DS video game dare we hope, and more DS stuff based on the original and Revival will surely be put out. Surely at that point the House and Night movies will get restored and finally get a dvd/blu ray release, and maybe the Revival series dvd set will FINALLY be done right, with the extened scenes and all the wonky technical problems corrected.
Should help sales of the DS audios and maybe we can get more novels too.

For what it's worth Falcon Crest season 2 dvd is available for pre  order exclusively at the WB online store. It's not remastered or anything, but still nice to get more of FC, since it seems unlikely that a remastered version will be available. It's my understanding that there are no plans to sell the dvd anywhere else, but they'll turn up used on ebay eventually.
More Selby is always welcome!

Liz mentions in passing early in the series something about her grandmother. Since her bio paternal grandmother was Laura and was presumed dead, I have heard specualtion that before Barnabas changed time Kitty married Edward and was the grandmother Liz remembered fondly.
Of course, this could be Liz's maternal grandmother she's remembering. I think it has something to do with Liz having jewelry her grandmother gave her. Still, I like the idea of Kitty becomes a Collins and having a good life complete with grandchildren, before Barnabas comes back and spoils it for her.
Odd that Josette would be reincarnated and then come back as a ghost in her old persona.

i think it works much better for the story that Jenny's madness is brought on by Quentin's betrayal and abandonment, and his family's cruelty to her. That all the tragedy that comes upon the family, thry Quentin's curse is ultimately brought on by Quentin and his family's actions is much more appropriate than any outside force.
Besides, there was no need for the gypsies to curse Jenny, she brought her destruction upon herself thru her unwise choice in husbands and her inability to cope when things went wrong.

I love Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire aka True Blood novels, I find them funny, dramatic and intriguing with a very well developed world full of quirky interesting characters.

White Wolf's role playing games and novels feature very well thought out reasons for the werewolf/vampire animosity. In their world werewolves are the defenders of nature, and vampires are very much unliving corruption of nature.
White Wolf's world has very detailed and involved socitey and culture developed around their monsters, they have a society all their own, very different from the isolated cursed beings in DS.

Magda is one of my favorite DS characters, probably third behind Angelique and Julia.
She was witty, sharp and flamboyant, I'm glad 1897 lasted so long so that we got so much Magda.
The scenes already mentioned are all great.
I am fond of the horror she experiences at learning that she has cursed Jenny's children. A pivotal Magda moment.

Thta's what I expected, thanks for the info. For what it's worth the cover is an improvement, shame they can't be bothered to improve on the content.
