Testing. 1, 2, 3... / Help!  I screwed up a posting!
« on: February 03, 2003, 05:59:53 PM »
I don't know how I managed to do this, but I created a new thread entitled "Menacing Minerva," and somehow managed to post it TWICE!  

Can somebody official (MB, Midnite, Dom) please delete one of them?  Preferably the one that doesn't warn about the possibility of this topic containing spoilers.  Thank you, thank you!

I'm so embarassed!!! :-[

?

I have a question regarding the recent haunting of Judith Collins Trask.  It appeared to me that Judith was really being haunted and posessed by Minerva's vengeful spirit before Rev. Trask and Evan Hanley conjured up the 'black ghost' of Minerva to gaslight Judith.

So what's the deal with Minerva's 'real' spirit?  Did she just decide to leave Judith alone, was she satisfied that her successor in the Reverend's bed (ewwww!) was driven insane, and had to be institutionalized?

This is my second time viewing 1897, and I just can't remember if the story ever returns to any further visitations by Minerva.

Sorry, MB - I haven't been available to post for a couple days, was out of town.

I was having some problems with my computer freezing up here and there last week.  Mostly it happened when I was trying to preview my posts, IIRC.  And I think the whole board was just moving rather slowly, at least for me.  I don't remember ever receiving any error messages.  Figured it was something to do with the new host, or server, or whatever it's called, LOL.  I'm not very computer savvy!

I'll let you know if I have further problems.  Thanks for the 'heads up' - and for looking out for us!  :)

Current Talk '03 I / Re: Fireplaces on DS
« on: January 31, 2003, 12:07:46 AM »
I don't really recall any fire in one of the fireplaces looking fake, but there were some fake looking fires that menaced or destroyed characters in the original Laura/Phoenix storyline and in 1795/96.

I've always been sort of surprised that the show even used gas logs in their fireplaces, and am not surprised to learn that a fire specialist had to be present - but wouldn't they have been there about every day?  It seems like there's a fireplace going in every single episode.  

Must be mighty cold year 'round in Maine! ;)

Current Talk '03 I / Re: Four Secret Rooms/Passages in Old House
« on: January 28, 2003, 05:46:40 PM »
Would the underground tunnel leading from the basement to the cave count as one of the four secret rooms?  I mean, it isn't really IN the Old House.

And didn't Barnabas come to Josette's room through a secret passageway at Collinwood, not the Old House?

Those Collinses were sure big on the secret rooms and passageways, weren't they?  But after Trask got his mitts on the plans, they weren't too secret anymore.

Wherever can Barney hide now?

Good for you, Suki!  And welcome to the DS board, it's a real hoot!

I started taping on this most recent airing of the show by SciFi.  I figured I would only keep the episodes I thought were pivotal.  Am sort of regretting that decision now, and will probably eventually purchase the DVDs.  So far I have about 300 eps on tape.

Was it in that scene that Angelique tries to warn her away from Barnabas, calling him cold and I forget what else, and Julia snaps back with "Who made him that way?"  Meowch!!!


A beatiful moment, wasn't it?  For some reason, I thought this happened in 1968, but they tell me my short term memory ain't what it used to be! ;)

And Midnite, thanks for what you said earlier about speaking up about whatever characters one prefers.  To me, DS character are like flavors of ice cream - everyone's got their personal faves and everyone's got a flavor or two they can do without...and so what!?

Sassy Julia. . my fave! Or is evil Julia in 1995?  I just love Julia with a 'tude...


Oh, me too!  I just love any episode that Julia's in.  She's the heart and soul of Dark Shadows for me, 'specially when she's pissed off or has a 'tude!  [lghy]

She was just such a nitwit. Didn't have the sense God gave a grape and couldn't cross the street without screaming and carrying on about it.



Yeah, but tell us how you REALLY feel about Rachel. [lghy]

I've got a question about Angelique in 1897.
In 1795 she was a living woman.  A living woman who practiced the occult arts, but a living woman never the less.  But what is she now?  A  ghost?  A reincarnation of herself?  A demon?  What?


Good point, Rainey.  Have to admit I've always wondered what the heck she is too!

I think that most of the times we see her after her strangulation death at the hands of Barnabas in 1795/6, she's some kind of quasi-demon (demonette perhaps?) ::) with the full powers of a witch.  

In 1897 it appears that she can only be destroyed by fire, so that means she can't be fully human.  But she isn't all powerful because as we see later...

She can't 'hand'le (sorry, couldn't resist) the powers of Petofi's severed mitt.


END SPOILER

What baffles me (as you pointed out) is that in 1897, Ange simply doesn't follow any rules but her own.  Sometimes she shows up uninvited to gloat or to help, and it seems like there was a time or two when someone was asking for her help and she was nowhere to be found.

I've always wondered if she was flashing back and forth between this timeline and some other, wreaking havoc or lending a hand wherever she felt like butting in.

This getting a little too off topic, I fear.  Whoops! [nerv]

P.S.  Back on topic, I have to admit that I'm with Connie and Annie - even at his worst, Quentin is still yummy.  A prick? Yes.  Hot?  OHMIGOD I CAN'T BREATHE IT'S SO HOT IN HERE!!! [smokn]
