I don't like this new style where everything is horizontal. :'(


It was so beautiful the way before :-[

but the colors are fine - a bit dark - but fine.l


Perankh, I have to ask you how you got that way cool avatar? Who is it in the alter image? And while I am being inquisitive, I am assuming that the others pics are of you. Are you an actor? Regardless, thank you for giving these eyes something that fine to look upon.... ;)

I'll explain.  The change in the way the talk boards display was initially an accident that occurred when the archive was readied to debut, and as MysteriousB set out to correct it, some posters were saying they liked the new look so it was held off, but now, obviously, we see that not everyone likes it.  So we talked about it, and it looks like we're leaning toward putting it back the way it was, but for now MB is up to the eyeballs in getting the archives to work for everyone, so I have to ask for your patience in waiting for the look of the discussion boards to get top priority again.


Personally, I'm torn. I really, really love the new look. But I really hate not being able to see which posts I have already read. HOWEVER, I have been around long enough to trust MB to get it all straightened out to everyone's satisfaction. I am in awe of the skill and thought that goes into making this the BEST DS board anywhere.

Current Talk '02 II / Carolyn, what's wrong with you?
« on: July 27, 2002, 08:51:26 AM »
You're not yourself! I thought Diana Parker (is that right?) did a fine job with a totally thankless task. While you might be able to be blonde and learn your lines, it is hard to literally be someone else. Carolyn by now IS Nancy Barrett. It has always irritated me when a tv show replaces an actor as though they were interchangeable. The only time it worked for me was on Roseanne, and they made fun of it.

A while back it was much agreed upon how "childlike" Adam was. I still disagree and think it pretty much takes adult hormones to act THAT badly, but I did decide tonight that he is definately in the "teenager" mode now. Nothing anyone says to him is right, he reacts hatefully to everything and everyone,  and thinks of noone but himself. I didn't like teenagers when I WAS one, and his character is getting on my last nerve. They should put him up against Liz and her death banter. Who would kill first, her or him and would it be murder or suicide?????

Speaking of life force, if Nicholas wants so much to find an evil life force to bring the right attitude to the she creation, what does it say about Barney's life force that Adam is such a jerk?

And after reading about Roger Davis sucking the womens' faces off, wasn't it fun to watch him get attacked for a change? Only today, wasn't he the healthiest victim we've ever seen? No dark circles or pale complexion. No obsessing with Angie or worry about it being light or dark outside. He wasn't quite as whiny, and actually seemed happy a good part of the time. Being bit by a vampire suits him!

Why was Barney musing about the vampire disappearing after Tom Jennings, when in yesterday's episode he made it so obvious that he knew Joe was under one's power? Can't the writers remember the script from two days ago? Why didn't Barney just leave when Joe told him to and then spy on him?

And finally, why would I expect consistencies from a show that leaves a corpse for weeks on end without even the "injection" explanation? Are we supposed to think that females "keep" better?

Ah well, details, shmetails. I think once the vampire dies, the living victim's blood reproduces itself immediately in their miraculous and spontaneous recovery.  ;D

The blue candles have caught my eye for years now. Very out of place in 1795! I suspect the reason for them is that DC got several cases for a cheap price, but I have never seen that confirmed.

Current Talk '02 II / Re: To COLORIZE or Not to COLORIZE?
« on: July 23, 2002, 12:46:28 AM »
I don't think so. The kinescopes are markedly inferior to the black & white, and it would look ridiculous. Unfortunately, they are just the best we have and keep the episode from being completely lost.

As for the b&w episodes, I still don't think so. I don't care for the look of colorization. I know b&w puts off a lot of people, and not just younger ones. I would hate to see this era of tv lost entirely just to pander to ignorance.

I love the look of the color episodes, don't get me wrong. I just don't think you can capture that in the earlier ones and they have their own special quality that I would like to see being appreciated. Good question though!

Yes, he mentions it as though he had ordered sheets and towels! I have never understood that if silver works against vampires why Barney likes his silver headed cane?

The jealous FIEND! At last, someone to blame other than Barney....

I do feel guilty about that! And I accused the person who presented it to me of being mean.  ;D

I anxiously await the revealing. BTW, I had trouble accessing the site off and on last night too.

In theory it is easy to understand that depression is an illness and that the person truly can't help it.  In theory, you want to be supportive in their time of need. In reality, you just want to push them away and RUN out of the room never to look back!!! I honestly think this is a natural survival tendancy and though it may seem insensitive, we have this reaction in order to maintain our own mental health. The depressed are very much like drowning people who attempt to pull down their would be rescuers.

Altogether a very poor choice for ratings!

Current Talk '02 II / Ghost
« on: July 20, 2002, 07:04:05 AM »
Subject: Ghost

This is pretty neat. Apparently the owners of this house had been seeing images and hearing voices for quite a while. They did some research and found that a lady once lived in the house who lost her husband during the civil war. Legend says that she used to sit at the table and look across the fields in anticipation of her loved one returning home. He never came. So, they say she still waits. They caught this photo of what they claim to be her.

This one was wild and a little spooky once you find the ghost in the picture. It took me a few seconds to find it, but when you do, it just stands out. Like one of those optical illusions.

To save you some time, concentrate around the table. Best not to focus too much on one spot. Look around the table and toward the window.

Click on the link below for the picture. Best to enlarge. For an added touch turn the volume up quite a bit, it's faint & creepy, but the low murmur you hear was what got the photographer's attention first. Be quiet and patient. It might take a few seconds for the image to come into your focus......

Is Barnabas an idiot?


Intermittantly. Unfortunately, in those durations he loses total brain power. There are no wimpy levels of dumbness allowed on DS!
