Current Talk '02 I / Re: Another Frid Q&A/ Talks about DS 1982
« on: March 27, 2002, 05:09:52 AM »
:D I certainly didn't know that Frid had worked with Oliver Stone! Personally, I don't think Stone has improved that much over the years from what Frid has to say about him making poor choices in moviemaking. But it is interesting. I wonder if "Seizure is available for viewing?

Current Talk '02 I / Memories
« on: March 26, 2002, 07:52:49 AM »
It hasn't been that long since these episodes last aired and I did watch them. It isn't happening at all like I thought I remembered! I didn't remember Angelique trying to save Barney's life or trying to reverse the curse. The girl does have a quick temper, one little shot to the torso and she curses him forever! Ah well, the course of love never did run smooth....

One thing I can't help but notice is that for all Barney's talk about being better off with a stake in his heart, he never really means it. I always wondered, when he was chained in his coffin-would he have been awake and conscious each night? Now, that might explain his bad mood when Willie first freed him!

One good thing about senility, the show is always new and fresh to me! How you others can keep track of each detail is beyond me.  ?!?

Current Talk '02 I / So close,
« on: March 21, 2002, 03:43:17 AM »
I haven't watched Wed's ep yet, this comment is on Tuesday's. Watching Barney with Angie was excruciating in its possibilities. IF he hadn't been so unbending and IF she wasn't so obsessed, they were so close to having been able to make it as a couple!

Think of it, she had hurt him and Sarah, but neither was permanently harmed, yet.  I think I can say that nothing was done at that time that couldn't be forgiven. Josette and Jeremiah? All's fair in love and war. I could almost see Barney making a deal that she give up her witchcraft and stop making trouble, in exchange for his real love.  And then the Collins family could have lived happily ever after, probably even in parallel universes!

OK, I admit finding out that your wife had sabotaged your own true love and marriage, injured you and your young sister, as well as maliciously casting the blame on an innocent person would have to be disheartening at best. Trusting her in the future would be a little, hmmm, tentative? (Ya think?) And we all know that Ang would never really give up her jealousy and powers of darkness, and that what she calls love isn't.

But still, it coulda been a contender!

Yeah, me too. I didn't like Roger Davis as well either, but the other guy was SO good and his death so sad. I think RD had a thankless job trying to keep the show going. I was actually quite excited to see him on DS last go round, imagine my embarrassment that he is considered rather a dud actor on the series! Seeing him is definately a blast from the past though. ::)

Well, I think that Barney could have handled most things rather well just by standing back, watching, letting others take the lead, and most of all, by acting cool. A lesson Vicky would have been better off to learn!

I have often thought that there is a reason why women are not as prevalent in time travel fiction. It would be much, ahem, easier for a man to deal with the past, the lack of facilities and certain products.

I can testify to one thing though, having endured Kansas City's infamous ice storm and lack of power. Not having electricity changes EVERYTHING. There is absolutely no reason to stay up late. Life is so boring that you want to go to bed with the chickens.

Love it! And Minja, how do you do the special icons? I'm doing good just to use the ones provided. It was fun to meet you, btw, how I would love to meet everyone at a festival!

Current Talk '02 I / Re: This Old House
« on: March 11, 2002, 04:29:42 AM »
Well, I do love to see this brought up. I too love to see the new old house. For a long time I thought it was a one bedroom mansion! Then we finally saw Willy's bedroom. So, I am enjoying a more extended glimpse of it too. One question does come up for me, if we are to see the family leave the Old House soon  and noone lived in it in between, then WHERE did the wallpaper come from? That which is old and peeling off the wall in modern times.

I guess I would have to choose Collinwood, but it is a tough choice. I just like the thought of a place so large that entire wings get not only shut off, but forgotten entirely for long periods of time. ;D

« on: March 10, 2002, 04:57:20 AM »
OK, here is my "favorite", Angelique Stokes Collins from PT. She...

SPOILER







... killed her own twin, and I can't even remember what all else. Icky girl.

I have to second (or third) on Gregory Trask, a thoroughly despicable human being. I agree that Rev. Trask seemed to believe he was doing good for the Almighty, as he would say.

I don't think it has been mentioned that Quentin  got off to a start as a pretty creepy guy, and he did very well in that role. I certainly appreciate him more in the romantic lead that he became though. Gerard was a great villain in my book, and he never really improved, though he was almost likeable for a day or two.

Current Talk '02 I / Re: In Defense of Vicky
« on: March 08, 2002, 03:15:03 AM »
Though, it was very sweet and gallant of you to defend her. I'm assuming that you have now seen yesterday (Mar. 6th)'s episode and realize what a lost cause it is! Gad, what a moron! Someone tries to help her who just happened to hit on her once: her response was to be rude and so supremely self-centered as to be certain that he is still hitting on her. She gets a very fair warning from him and she thinks she can take care of herself. From a witch hunter???? Puhleeze.

If it makes you feel any less bad, realize that even the actress who played her thought this character was dumb, dumb, dumb.

The new site is so fabulous in MANY ways, I hate to say anything negative. But, maybe it is just my own ignorance and you can set me straight. I see something that says mark main topic as read, or similar meaning. But, I can't get that to happen.

Right now, it seems that main topics get all jumbled up and old posts get put back on top when they have the most recent reply. And they don't change color or anything after reading them. This is making it very hard to quickly scan the board for new topics. Man, I hate to be picky, but this is so important for me in a site.  So many new posts get put up here, and I really want to be able to see them without scrolling through all the pages. Can I format it for this? :'(

« on: March 06, 2002, 05:21:57 AM »
Oh, I just have to say Angelique. She just burst onto the show and made it her own from the start. She is such an unusual character, really in all of her evolutions and especially in the Dan Curtis world of boring fems. That combined with the extraordinary looks of Lara Parker, makes her someone you could never forget! :o

Current Talk '02 I / cough, cough
« on: March 02, 2002, 10:57:41 PM »
I really felt for Grayson in yesterday's episode and had to greatly admire how she handled a non-stop coughing fit. That is so uncomfortable and impossible to get over while using one's voice! Actually, her discreet coughing and eye dabbing made her character seem so much more real! I'm surprised this problem didn't occur all the time for everyone considering the amount of smoking done by the cast....
