Were any actual dates used in DS?  Or any holidays or birthdays celebrated?

I am actual anal enough find out for myself, but before I embark I thought I would check to see if anyone else had reseached this first.

And what about days of the week and the actual day to day flow of time?  Of course frequently several episodes would take place during the same day (or night) but has anyone tried to place events/episodes in chonological order (episodes x y x take place on one day, and then episode aa takes place the next day, for example).  Again, I am sad and obsessive  to do this myself, but would certainly prefer to read the fruits of another fan's labors! 

Thanks all!

since we're on the subject of seances,what are your favorite d.s. seances?while i love the seance that sends victoria back to 1795,i think my favorite is the first.during the laura collins story,a seance is held to contact josette.vicki goes into a trance and speaks in french as laura glares!it's so good.and for those who havn't seen the pre-barnabas eps.,there's even a wierd seance with vicki,david and sam evans!

Was there ever a seance on DS that wasn't interuppted?

I always pretended that Willie's unseen Roxanne was actually the Normal Time version of the Parallel Time Roxanne.  But how can this be, you ask, if the NT Roxanne actually turned out to be a youknowhat?  Well, let me explain.  You see, she didn't start off as a youknowhat because the post-PT story which begins in 1995 and is linked to 1840 hadn't happened yet, so Barnabas wouldn't've gone back to 1840 in which case the 1840 Roxanne wouldn't've been, well, you-know-what, so therefore until that point the 1840 Roxanne would've settled down with somebody nice and had kids who down the line would've eventually produced the NT Roxanne who wasn't a youknowhat, so, in this case........Oh, never mind.  Willie's Roxanne was a blue-haired waitress at Big Wally's Eats in Portland, Maine where she was putting herself through beauty school.  Let's just let it go at that.

Yeah, yeah, I'll buy that!!  LOL

Or maybe Roxanne had a brother or two to carry one the genes/family name?

That would be one Phineas T. Frog from the classic WB cartoon 'One Froggy Evening' - you know the one where the construction worker finds a frog who occasionally (and very inconveniently) bursts into beautiful songs like 'Ragtime Gal' but when put on stage, just sits there like a frog with a top hat on...

Ummm, very sorry, Darren, but it's Michigan J. Frog, isn't it?

Wow.  Wouldn't it be hot if the series finale involved a 3 way between Adam Baldwin, James Marsters and Boreanaz?

Don't forget Lindsey! woof ;-P~

I haven't seen Van Helsing and probably will not, just from seeing the trailers.  The reason why?  "Computer-animated graphics."  I might be the only one who thinks that this "technology" still has a long a way to go, pondering if I'm also the only one who thinks that when, seeing a movie with these Ninetendo-like creatures is like watching Roger Rabbit.  It looks so fake to me that it's distracting.  At this point, I'd prefer stop-motion or the plain, old guy zipped up in a suit of scales and fur.  That Van Helsing werewolf looks like the Tasmanian devil that keeps trying to eat Bugs Bunny.

The CGI definitely overused and isn't entirely sucessful in some spots.  Bad script, bad acting, I spent the whole film spotting what genre or film stole from.

it is included on the DS Bloopers VHS. I love Grayson's indignation after the director yells cut. 

Cool, I have watched the Bloopers VHS a couple of times, I don't remember seeing it.  hmmm, will have to try to find or borrow a copy. Thanks!

So, was this on the VHS, then?

I don't know.  I have not obtained a VHS copy to see how it was handled.  I would surmise that that particular ep was fixed even for VHS since the action pretty much had stopped for 3-5 minutes.  But I don't know.  I was using that particular ep as just an example (albeit an extreme one) of why I love DS warts and all.
