Lots of folks seem to dislike the Adam storyline.  Why is that?  I kind of liked that storyline.  It wasn't my favorite, but it had lots of great moments.  I truly pitied Adam.  Robert Rodan did an excellent job of playing the chidlike, misunderstood Frankenstenian "outsider" qualities in the character IMO.  Marie Wallace also did a great job playing the evil and nasty Eve.

I liked the beginning of Adam.  It seemed to have lots of possibilities as he began learning things, and given the way he was being treated.  His early relationship with Carolyn and especially the developments once Stokes became involved with him were very interesting and showed lots of promise.  But, once Nicholas Blair got involved and the way he changed the situation, it really ruined the whole thing.  And, while I liked Eve, once she was on the scene the story became quite repetitive.

Quentin and Amanda? Without spoiling anything, can someone tell me when this took place?

The main Quentin and Amanda story was in 1897.  However, the following present day story (Leviathan) has a "sequel" to that.

While I've never been wild about them, I never minded them the way most people do.  It seemed rather ridiculous that he would be that much in love with her, but - supposedly he was, I accepted that, and got involved with what happened to them on that basis.

I would have preferred an ending in present time, but given that they had started 1841 PT, they needed to do something with it.  I think it would have been better had they not started that story at all (I guess they had to in order to give Jonathan Bramwell instead of Barnabas).  It did have one good aspect to its existence:

[spoiler]Lamar Trask from regular 1841 disappeared into PT and became a minor complication in their lives.  It was rather funny from both aspects.[/spoiler]

But, since they DID have the story started, it always seemed rather fitting that they returned to the present long enough for us to see that all was well and then went back to tie up the loose ends of the PT story - the only "other time" story without a present day character's presence.

Isn't that nice?  :)

I always wonder about the timing of the marriage.  I think I did read something once, but forget what it was.  I'm always curious as to whether they were married while working on the show, before then and had already broken up, before then and broke up while doing the show, perhaps met on the show and married later, etc.

For me the saddest scene is where Sarah dies in Barnabas' arms. That was a very emotional scene.

I was thinking of mentioning that one.

Hi cousins!

One of the most frustrating moments on DS was when [spoiler]Angelique had locked "Hoffman" in the basement of Collinwood and left her there to die.  As hope for ever finding Julia faded, and Barnabas was clearly grieving, I thought surely this would be "the big moment".  So what happens?  When Barnabas finally finds Julia they cut to the next scene in the drawing room of the Old House with Julia looking little worse for her ordeal.  Grrrrrrr!  No touching reunion.  No anything.  :'( [8311][/spoiler]

You didn't finish your gripe.

[spoiler]There not only wasn't a touching reunion, but Barnabas acted as though the primary reason for being anxious to find her was for her testimony to save Quentin, not for herself.[/spoiler]

I don't think I hate anything.  There were lots of things I wasn't wild about or didn't like as much as others, but I went with the flow of it and enjoyed everything to some extent.
