Joshua is probably the best example of character development that I can think of. That made sense to me. Well written and really well acted too.


Ditto that!  Was just watching some 1795/6 episodes over the weekend, and was quietly blown away by Louis Edmond's performance.  Joshua's progression is truly tragic: a man who only discovers the love he has for his family by losing all of them.

Patti, I know what you're talking about.  And it is a nice aspect of the show.  It's interesting to note as well that during 1897, Angelique's standing also undergoes a transformation. Never again is she merely a villainess (unless you count parallel time).  Like Barnabas and David's evolving friendship, she becomes the uneasy ally of her former enemies, the Collins family.

I thought they were good together here too, and noticed how restrained Grayson's performance was.  

It's interesting to note that it seems that every time one of Grayson's characters offers herself to Barnabas, he rejects her.  Poor girl!

Yeah, both Quentin and Barnabas were total bastards in this episode.  Both of them could really use a course in stress management, don't you think?  

Maybe Professor T. Elliot Stokes could teach them...he's usually cool as a cucumber. [lghy]

Murph,  I checked the listing for Cox Cable in Phoenix on tvguide.com, and it said that Dark Shadows airs on SciFi (channel 50) from 9-10am.  

If this still isn't right, try going to the tvguide.com website yourself and click on TV Listings at the upper left.  Just follow the instructions and you should be able to figure out when it comes on.

Hope this helps. :)

I think that's a very safe guess, although I would go more with "ripped off" then "inspired" :)  To be fair though this whole plot belongs firmly in a genre I've seen facetiously referred to as "Someone's trying to kill me! and I think it's my husband!"


LOL!  Yes, 'ripped off' is probably more accurate!

And they're still making those "Someone's trying to kill me and I think it's my husband!" movies.  Ever watched Lifetime? It's like 2/3 of their programming![lghy]

Not sure, but I think the guys would've been wearing some form of low rise boots that sported hook and eye closures.

I've often wondered where DS got their costumes.  I imagine that interior sets would've been easier to do.  IIRC back in the day, you could get late Victorian and early 20th Century furnishings for little to nothing.  My aunt has a house full of the stuff that she purchased on the cheap at yard sales and estate sales in the 50's and 60's.

Clothes don't hold up as well as furniture, do they?  They probably couldn't have simply bought old clothes. It was probably a chore to make the actor's costumes, and given the show's notoriously limited budgets...  Maybe that accounts for why Ange and some of the others (Beth and Rachel come to mind) only seemed to have a couple of outfits.  

Then again, I've always heard that prior to the advent of modern conveniences like washing machines, people didn't have many clothes.  That still doesn't account for Angelique's limited number of frocks.  Couldn't she just whip up a Worth gown, or whatever? ;)

BTW, didn't Ange look like a total floozy in her pink and gold dockside outfit? Aristede obviously thought he was going to get lucky, then whammo! Guess he got a little "choked up" when he found out she wasn't really interested. [lghy]

Well now, that pretty much makes sense.  Minerva could've been trying to warn Judith - who was as blissfully ignorant of the evil afoot when she married the good Reverend as his late wife had been.

And it also makes sense that maybe Judith's guilt over the hurried nature of her marriage might have made her the focus of the 'real' haunting.

This actually isn't such a bad storyline.  I'm enjoying it better the second time around, and think Joan Bennett did a great job with it.  

Anyone else seen the movie 'Gaslight?'  I wonder if it may have inspired this storyline.  The husband's name was even Gregory in that movie.

I'm sorry to hear that we may be losing you for a while, Vlad.  Your viewpoints are always enjoyable!


Ditto that - hurry back, Vlad.  And good luck with your professional commitments!!

Excellent as always, Robin!  Your comments really have me revved up to see these episodes!  The latter portion of 1897, in which the whole Count Petofi storyline unfurls (or is that unravels? lol) is one of my personal faves.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with your always incisive Robservations!

Oh, and BTW, I had that same problem again with my computer freezing up on me.  This time it happened when I was trying to preview my posting "Help!  I screwed up a posting!" that is also in this section.  The only thing unusual I was doing was I also had the help window open, looking for an emoticon.

Maybe I should just stay off the board for awhile.  I'll check back with you later.
