Current Talk '02 I / Re: Used to watch DS in 60's

Oh, yes, there are a bunch of us. Though we do have some young'uns who are watching for the first time too!
I love DS more, the more I watch it. I was a fan then, but rather a fickle one, I got put off by a time switch and quit for a while. Now, I get more out of it each time I go through the series!

This is one of the challenges of watching DS! You miss an episode or two and have no clue anymore! Elsewhere around here you can find the address of the Robservations, which are episodes and dialogue written out. These are very helpful when the cranky cable or VCR goes out.

What happened was this, they held another seance and whoopsy, Vicky went back in time. The would be governess from 1795 ended up in her spot in modern time, but they only showed that for a moment. Now Vicky is back in time and dangerously clueless. If you have been paying attention to the last few months, you will realize that history is being rewritten, and much of the family history as stated previously is different. Ah well, that also is DS. Now, you get to see HOW Barney became a vampire.... ::) ::)

Is it just me, or did I actually see Anthony George seem to enjoy a scene with Alexandra Moltke??? How odd that their chemistry could so improve by his playing a different character. Makes me wonder if the main source of his ickyness as Burke was discomfort in taking over a role so well done by someone else. Which is ALWAYS a thankless task for an actor.

Regardless, he seems much more relaxed as Jeremiah. Don'tcha think?

Whew, that is a toughie. If Angie had been a different personality, I think it might have happened. If she had been able to wait patiently and seem to be his "good friend" and then be understanding when Josette and he had a tiff....

BUT, that's not our gal, is it? She is forceful and Barney likes his women compliant and dimwitted. So they seem to be on a colision course to me no matter what. Unless he were to completely change and want a real woman instead of a girl. If she could refrain from doing what she is about to do and he could wake up, then they would have a good chance.

I think it was much more common to have a thing with a maid on your OWN staff. And in a time of no birth control, it wasn't really acceptable. If it had been his own maid, and he could help "set up" the girl in a marriage or provide a home for the little illegitimate baby-THEN, it was more of a boys will be boys attitude. Maybe. He was raised in a highly puritannical area, and I don't think Joshua would have approved.

But, anyway, to bed someone who was a member of another household, and then cut out of town (to leave her completely on her own if she WAS in the family way), no - sorry, I see nothing admirable about that.

The last go round of 1795 was the first time I had seen these episodes. I was so excited to see Roger Davis! I remembered him from Alias Smith and Jones and other things. One of those flashes from the past that you would NEVER come up with on your own, but you see his face and the name comes back as though indelibly engraven upon your brain cells. So, actually, I quite enjoyed his part.

This time around it won't be a surprise and I expect that his lack of a flair with this role will be more apparent to me. While it didn't strike me at the time, in looking back I can certainly see why others are less ecstatic about his acting in this series.

for the time especially. Poor Angie, I know how she feels. I fell for the "free love" bulloney of the early seventies and can swear to the fact that if a man doesn't love you WHEN he beds you, he never will. How seldom we hear that spelled out for the young and impressionable though.

And as for Barney, WHAT WAS HE THINKING???? OK, yes, I can see that Angie was desirable. But he was in love with Josette! It seems distinctly cadlike and cavalier of him, and he otherwise was pretty decent as a human. I don't think seducing (or succombing to seduction) of a servant of the relative of the woman you love was EVER such a good idea.

OK, the first one or two people, but on and on? Everytime this unexpected time travel happens to a character in a book or on a show, I always wonder how long I would be a complete moron and refuse to accept the obvious truth.

What I find even more amusing is later in the series when a new character is introduced who looks EXACTLY like a previous character and NO ONE notices!

Well, the pain in the *** comment was part of it. I could have sworn that KLS made a remark in her book that while nicely phrased, made me think that she was difficult to work with. I may well have misinterpreted it and I may have been under a false impression entirely. It wouldn't be the first time!

Or, maybe she WAS difficult to work with, but was liked in spite of it? I think she is great, great, great, don't get me wrong....

It struck me as more than coincidental that so soon after her husband being hired as writer, she gets a solo performance! I'm sure the others would have loved a chance for something similar. No wonder she wasn't terribly popular with most of the cast....

I might be wrong, but my understanding is that they would pay her per each episode in which she appeared. So it would have been the same cost as if she had only been on five minutes. And of course, much cheaper for the lack of other actors. I understood that Alexandra Moltke doing the voiceovers when Vicky didn't appear in that episode was getting too pricy for them to continue with. And about time, too!
