Spoilers!!!!







Without a doubt, during the Quentin's ghost storyline, I love the scene at the end of the episode that Quentin drives the whole family out of Collinwood.  Roger, before he closes the door, yells, "We'll be back, I promise you that" or something to that effect.  The camera then pans through all the main rooms of the great house and all you hear is Quentins theme and finally you see his ghost on top of the stairs laughing.

To me, that was one of the better moments in the series.  I loved the whole episode, but that final scene, I could watch over and over.

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!!!

There's something that comes to mind from when I first watched Dark Shadows when I was a little girl in the 60's. I'm pretty sure David was punished by Quentin or his ghost at some point. I recall David saying that Quentin was hurting him, like he was being burned by his touch or something like that. Anyone else remember it?

Your memory is correct.  In order to get David to follow his instructions, Quentin's ghost indeed did punish him when he was insolent or had not done as he was told to do.

One scene did include Quentin's ghost grabbing his arm or shoulder and David screaming out that it burned.

Julia's dream....

She turns to see Barnabas smiling at her.  He reaches for her in the broad daylight and gently touches her cheek.

"Julia, my dear.  I have been a fool.  All this time I have been searching for that one woman to spend my life with, and all I had to do was look right in front of me the whole time."

...Now, don't tell me she would have never had that dream.

When you think about it, almost everyone lies on the show!!!

Yes, Vicky was the exception and she sure got herself into a lot of trouble for her honesty, and it didn't help when Peter Bradford decided to be honest in the trial.

Professor Stokes is a pretty honest guy, though he just doesn't blurt out everything that comes to his mind.  I always got the impression he knew more about the things going on around him than he let on, but that doesn't make him a liar.

I guess it wouldn't make for good drama if everyone told the truth on this and other shows (especially soaps).  

If they would just tell the truth from the beginning, it would save everyone some grief.

Please tell me if I dreamed this one... but I seem to remember a scene where someone walked out of the upstairs door into the foyer toward the stairs and someone (probably the director) screams out, "Do it again!"

The actor then turns around, closes the door behind him and starts the scene again.  I know I have seen this twice, but I can't remember the details.

deron ?!?

Whew!!!  I also recieved the e-mail, and responded likewise asking what happened.    I then came here and found out what happened.  I am relieved!!!
