I assumed it was the same one picked up by Beth and paid for by Quentin for his son that Barnabas dug up before his trip to the past.  I don't recall if that one was on a chain.  I assumed it was.  But, they needed some excuse for Carolyn to be buying something at the shop!!

Those of you who just watch the tapes won't have the slightest idea of what I'm talking about.

First all of the networks starting putting rather large and obvious names or logos in the corner of the screen throughout most programs.  Supposedly with the advent of cable and all the channels, they figured one couldn't necessarily tell what was on and they had to make sure one saw their name.

Recently, it's become a thing to advertise upcoming shows.  So, when one returns from a commercial, watching one show, there's a big name announcing the show that follows or something.  It gets quite annoying.

But, SciFi has really gone too far lately.  Their moving SciFi logos were bad enough.  Their upcoming show promos are much too large and stay on much too long.  But, recently they've added the promo for one show where they have about 4 moving white and red figures running around while the other show (in this case, DS) is playing.

I cannot see any justification for networks to mess up one show to advertise another, but this one with those moving figures is beyond tolerance.  I get SOOOO AGGRAVATED!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

"Until you know," says Beth, "that I forgive you." And she disappears. "Come back!" screams Quentin--"Don't you understand, I don't forgive myself--for what I did to you--for the part I played--please hear me!"  He covers his face with his hands and sinks into a chair.

Beth's asking Quentin to forgive her always brings tears to my eyes. So sad. She was the victim yet she's asking for his forgiveness? Even her ghost is a doormat, poor thing. Still, it was a very poignant, sad scene. I was also glad she threw a nibble of hope and fear into Trask.

I thought it was the other way around.  I didn't feel like going back and checking the tape, but even in the quote here from the show, it does have Beth telling Quentin that SHE forgives HIM and then he replies that he can't forgive himself.  She isn't asking him for forgiveness.

    HAPPY
  BIRTHDAY

HAVE  A  MARVELOUS  DAY!!!

The domain addy still brings up the full page message that says, (Please don't be surprised by anything you might see or that might happen while you're there.

I've been meaning to ask about that for some time.  It seems that this latest version has been working for several weeks now (even if you are adjusting and improving things).  I can't figure out why we still need to go to that intermediary page before getting here all the time.

I apparently saw more than half of the first yesterday and finished that one tonight.  It seems to be getting better, the characters are rather interesting and are well portrayed.  The first review I read indicated that the second episode gets better, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.
