C is for Cat (the one Joshua was turned into)

It's a pity that Alexandra's pregnancy and problems during led (partly) to her leaving the show when she did.  I mean Vicki did end up marrying Jeff/Peter and one assumes they consumated the marriage on their wedding night.  Alex could have gotten as big a house and no one would've batted an eye, since it would have been his baby.  Unless, there could have even been a whole "Rosemary's baby" storyline!

query to the mods - Just how suggestive/dirty can we be?

Thank you for putting up with my comments on the 2 previous posts as comments.  But I do have one thought one thing hasn't really been talked about. Tom and Julia, Angelique the Vampire and Barn the Victom. Also I always wondered what happened to Adam. Was the connection lost when Barn went back in time.

My personal viewpoint is that the writers always wanted Barn to be the Vampire.   

Well, to paraphrase Frid when he appeared on What's My Line, I think the writers knew what side their bread was buttered on; a tortured vampire is a lot more ratings friendly than a human with spikey bangs and relationship issues

As for you other points..... well, IMHO, Tom the Vampire was HHHHHHOOOTTT!  [spoiler]Whoowee, and Julia may have agonized about it when she wasn't with him, but unlike Jeff, Joe and Barn with Ang, she was soo sultry and pliant when she was with T the V.[/spoiler]

Ang:  [spoiler]I don't think it's ever made entirely clear but I think she stays in the netherworld with Diabolos and Nicholas.  Perhaps she gets to torture Blair?  And things may have been left hanging deliberately to maintain suspense and Barn may revert or Ang come back for him.  Barn the victim (again not explained in the show) seems to recover from his thrall to A the V, as it seems does Joe.  Either Nicholas freed them off screen, or after a period of time with no renewed contact, the thrall fades.[/spoiler]

Adam: [spoiler]I always got the impression that Adam might have made a comeback the way he was written out, with Stokes sending him away to have his scars removed and commenting on need a new project.  But he was never mentioned again.  I surmise that off screen Stokes supervised his higher education and the creation of papers to make Adam legit.  Perhaps one of the few Collinsport residents to actually have something approaching a "happily ever after."  

One does wonder what the effect is on Adam when Barn goes galivanting across time and parallel universes.  Again this is pure supposition, but I wonder if Adam died when Barn became a vampire again during the leviathan affair.  Since Ang's Dream curse didn't work and Barn survived, perhaps we may take it as read that Barn becomeing a vampire again means Adam must have died (indirectly) at the hands of the Leviathans?[/spoiler]

I couldn't understand Eve's obsession, thought process and motivation at all, which was probably another reason why I never liked that whole Adam story line.  She was obviously an intelligent, highly self-serving woman, so instead of hanging around there, allowing herself to be put through all the crappola she had to endure in order to find some way to make things work for her favor, why didn't she just pack a bag, snitch some money from under Nicholas' mattress, and catch the first bus out of there?  I mean, would you put up with having to pretend you like some guy that would cause the cast of Extreme Makeover to scream, take the condescending attitude and bullishness of Nicholas, and why-oh-why would you want to get some wus to like you?

I tend to agree.  They did almost nothing with Eve.  She was there as a prop for the Adam story and I don't think the writers gave her much thought beyond,"hey wouldn't it be cool for Adam to have "Eve?"  Though based on her behavior she ought to have been called Lilith (Adam's first wife).

But then, the show didn't have very progressive attitudes about women at that time, so even "the most evil woman who ever lived" was still put her under the thumb of a man, and all her so-called "evil" was undercut by her obsessive love for a man who doesn't love her back (Peter) (sound familiar?).  Also, why she would have fallen for Peter doesn't make any sense either.  Why would she fall for a man who was as good and virtuous as Peter (the male equivalent of Vicki).  I mean, if anything, he comes across as even weaker in the qualities she looks for in a man than Adam himself!  At most he was the kind of man one thinks she would use rob and dump or kill.  But no, because she is a woman, she has to be all weak and "womanly" and dominated by men. 

[spoiler]The scene where Nicholas first asks Maggie to marry him...[/spoiler]

... I actually spoke aloud, "No, Maggie!  Don't let him see you in those quilted pant things!!!

And a general question:  Who exactly owns DS these days with regard to broadcast/syndication rights?  Is the show even available to be broadcast if some station wanted to?

Nelson (and loril54), check out replies #37, 38, 41 or 44 in this topic.

SoapNet made an effort to show DS for quite some time-- they've publicly said as much.  The issue was cost.

Thanks for the heads up.

My take on it, is that Barn drank from Willie because he needed a servant/protector during the day.  The cattle attacks I think were the result of barn's efforts to keep from attacking humans (he was tortured even in these early episodes, and tried not to attack humans.  Of course things changed once he met Maggie and convinced himself she was the reincarnation of his Josette.
