Yes, welcome back liz_collins, hope to see you around more often!

Jumping into this thread, hoping it isn't totally dead.  We just got a DVD player this past weekend, and I'm ready to start purchasing the Dark Shadows box sets.  But I'm not made of money.

My question is this: out of the five or six DS box sets currently available, which one do y'all think is the best in terms of extras, picture/sound clarity, etc?

BTW, I've checked several sites, and it looks like to me like www.deepdiscountdvd.com is the best deal, since they offer free shipping.  But the other sites listed in this thread are comparable.

Any help will be most appreciated! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOBUBAS AND TERRY308!!![/color]

I participated in a seance once.  It was a strictly amateur affair (nothing much happened), but one of the people there had been to a few 'real' ones.  He said he'd heard that best results came from an odd number of people at a round table, with a mix of males and females.  I didn't hear anything about a maximum number of attendees, but would think that any more than 7 or 8 would just be difficult.  Think of the size of the table if you had 13, for example!   

I thought the same thing the other day, Vlad.  When they first started talking about the seance, it didn't seem to be so well attended.  But now, everyone was there.  I'm surprised it hasn't come out that Horace Gladstone, Claude North, Roxanne and half the gang from down at the Eagle weren't there too! 

BTW, does anyone know when it was that women wore such hatpins as those in Liz's collection?  Was it back in Edwardian times when they had the elaborate hair and hats?

Glad to still see this topic, because I wanted to respond to it...

Yes, I think PT Angelique does have feelings for Quentin, she's obsessed with him!  And IMHO, she's more than a little pissed off that he could marry again so soon after her death to mousy little Maggie Evans.  Plus, I think she always saw herself as the grand lady, and believed growing up that being the mistress Collinwood and wife of Quentin was her birthright.

I think she doesn't put a spell on Quentin to love her for the same reason(s) she didn't hex Barnabas.  He has to come to her willingly, blah blah blah.  That's the only way she can get him to share in her unholy existence.

Did she get busy with Bruno, Will, Cyrus, and Dameon?  My money's on yes!  As for Trask, you can't be sure.  I think she would be too snobby to sleep with the help.  And as for Roger - I don't think so at all.  He was probably more useful to her if she kept him on a string thinking maybe one day he'd get there.

[spoiler]I've always thought her teasing and sexually frustrating the bitchy, tightly-wound PT Roger is likely the underlying reason why he killed her.[/spoiler]

As to the last question, I guess Angelique was really young when she had Daniel.  Of course, this was probably just sloppiness on the writer's part.  But suppose that Daniel was only twelve at the time of the events we see in PT1970.  He might only have been eleven when his mother died.  So maybe she did get married right out of high school.  That was more common back in the '60's than it is now, wasn't it?

That said, I have to add that I don't like PT Angelique as much her RT counterpart.  She isn't nearly as fascinating as she thinks she is, and is less of a three-dimensional character than RT Angie.  I  also wish we'd gotten to know more about Alexis before her sister did away with her.

Happy Birthday DStoDA!
and many more!
