[/color]Even if I had the money to travel to New York for the second time in a row, nothing could induce me to stay at the Westchester Marriott again.
Me, neither!  [sad3] I am also in California, and it angers me to find the DS Fest will be in New York, again[angryf] If I decide to go, I plan to fly into Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains, rent a car, and stay at a cheaper hotel nearby. [bigok]  I hope Jonathan Frid will be the "special guest" - I never met him before, and it might be worth it to go there again if I can see him. [cheesyg]

Y is for yarn - a colloquial term for a story or tale.  Dark Shadows certainly was one of those - or should I say many!  [color]

Z is for zygote - what happens when an egg is fertilized - the stage before embyro.  Catherine and Bramwell's baby went through this stage before Catherine even knew she was pregnant. [color]

Joan Bennett did an excellent job in this episode! [bigok] Poor Elizabeth - she didn't know what else to do, so she was depressed enough to be suicidal.  [sadg] That was pretty eerie to hear the widows' call out to her.  Scary stuff. [shkdg]

I really like JB/Elizabeth with her hair down.  She was an extremely attractive woman!  The resemblance between Elizabeth and Vicki was very apparent today.  I agree that sometimes Vicki was more supportive (in a daughterly way) than Carolyn was to Elizabeth. [winkg]

Jason was true to form today.  He thought it was curious how Elizabeth was reacting to him, but he just sloughed it off and ended up being pleased about it!  If he really cared about her, he would have been concerned and more supportive of her.  Just another example of why I will be happy when [spoiler]Barnabas kills him.[/spoiler]

I also say, "Hurray!  Dr. Julia Hoffman has arrived!" [cheer] Indeed, the story will get  a lot more interesting pretty soon! [color] I agree, KLS was the star today! [bigok]  Her performance was heartwretching.  [bawl] That was pretty cold of Julia to allow Sam and Joe to visit Maggie, but I understand their wanting to see her.  That scene with Maggie singing, "Take the key and lock her up." - over and over again and looking out the screen-covered window was very memorable. [shkdg] In retrospect, it probably would have been better for Sam and Joe to observe Maggie from afar, but that wouldn't have been very good drama now, would it? [winkg] Great episode. [cheesyg]

One thing I noticed that really bugged me was Vicki's hairdo.  It was weird!  It was distracting.  It was becoming to her, but strange.

Both Willie and Barnabas seemed to regret Maggie's "death".  I think this was when Barnabas's character may have started to be more sympathetic to us viewers.

I loved the outdoor scene of the seagull! [cheesyg]  It's too bad there weren't more outdoor scenes (real ones, that is). [sadg]

Poor Sam was
THIS CLOSE to telling Vicki that Maggie was alive.  I'm glad he didn't, because Barnabas would surely have found out.

Carolyn showed her soft side with Joe.  It's too bad Vicki and Carolyn's "sister moments" didn't last very long.  They seem more like sisters than friends - and I do believe they really were sisters. [cheesyg]

So, this episode had a last and a first - with Buzz and Burke.  [cheesyg]

It sure does seem like something happened between Carolyn and Buzz off-camera.  I'm sure if Carolyn had told Buzz about Maggie's "death" that he would have been more understanding.  [92c5]  This just goes to show that Carolyn didn't really want to marry (and even be with) Buzz - it was just her spoiled brat ploy to bug her mother.  [argue]

It was weird to see Anthony George as Burke.  He did seem more soft-spoken and understanding, though.  One thing I noticed that bugged me is that his eyes were deep-set - they were dark and hard to see.  I hate it when that happens.  [tngg] I like to be able to see people's eyes. [cheesyg]

Elizabeth and Vicki sure did seem like Mother and Daughter in this episode.  It's too bad that they didn't confirm that fact - one of the plotlines that was left hanging and never resolved.  [dsapg]

P is for pregnant - Catherine was pregnant with Bramwell's baby in 1841 PT. [shkdg] I'm surprised nobody else thought of this one! [winkg]

Hey!  You skipped R!  [6184] I have one... [color]

R is for raconteur - a clever storyteller; a narrator.  Barnabas was a raconteur when he told the story of Josette's death to Vicki and Carolyn on that stormy night.  Also, the voiceovers were a type of narration - Alexandra Moltke was the raconteur (narrator) more than anyone else. [cheesyg]

Q is for quay (pronounced kee) - a wharf; dock.  It could refer to the Collins shipyard and/or the docks where Barnabas found lots of his victims who were "ladies of the night".

Excellent episode!  Barnabas did seem to have had a change of heart, didn't he?  He was so menacing when he was chasing Maggie; but then he let Maggie and Sam go, when he easily could have killed them.  It was heartwarming to see Sam reunited with Maggie. [cheesyg]

Indeed, Dr. Woodard's suggestion to pretend that Maggie was dead was illegal, but I'm glad they went through with it.  Just in the nick of time, too, because Barnabas showed up. [shkdg] I agree that it would seem suspicious to Dr. Woodard, Barnabas showing up at the hospital so late - at 3:30 AM.  [hdscrt]

Poor Maggie was traumatized so much, she reverted back to her childhood.  I felt sorry for Joe when Maggie didn't recognize him. [sadg]  Julia Hoffmann will be making her first appearance soon!  Hooray! [cheer]
