The parents of Judith, Edward, Quentin, & Carl died at the same time it's revealed.  I wonder what happened to them.

Magda exits the same way Natalie Dupres did in 1795, without any mention.

I meant that Sam Hall said that he, himself, didn't understand the body switch storyline.

A funny comedy web series about a gay father & straight son, who are both fans of Dark Shadows!

Sam Hall used to say that the Quentin/Petofi body switch was the one story he didn't understand.

The former butler, B. Hanscombe (Betty's brother) could have been Vicky's father and Elizabeth Vicky's mother.

Current Talk '14 II / Question about a new Vicky storyline that wasn't
« on: December 10, 2014, 04:46:52 PM »
I have read in some places, like the Dark Shadows Companion, that just prior to Alexandra Moltke's leaving DS, Ron Sproat had started to slant the story to reveal Vicky as Liz's illegitimate daughter.

Did I miss something in AM's final episodes where this occured?  I have no memory of it at all.

Current Talk '14 II / One of 1840's Problems
« on: December 05, 2014, 01:35:22 AM »
1840 is unique among the flashbacks in that we never see the "legacy" character.
Daniel was 1795's legacy and Jamison was 1897's, but 1840's legacy character is unnamed and far away at boarding school (which actually makes him one of the lucky ones).

There's a detachment to this storyline in that there isn't any clear path to the future that the audience knows is there.
This Collins family is detached to begin with and [spoiler]The change in history where those who originally died now live (Quentin, Desmond, Daphne, Carrie, Tad) and those who originally live now die (Gabriel & Edith) while Samantha dies both times[/spoiler] doesn't help matters, it actually creates MORE.

There isn't anyone to root for as none of them really have redeeming qualities that at least Judith & Edward of 1897 did and Joshua & Naomi of 1795.  All the characters are one big mess and not fleshed out.

The writers could have at least had either Samantha/Quentin or more likely Edith/Gabriel more grounded for the audience.  It makes you wonder how they managed originally to get the family to the present time.

Just to make one more comment on the DS fans, one fan produced zine called "Fangs for the Memories" is about the DS fandom ovet the years.

This is like the movie "Psycho" where the main character is suddenly killed off and the audience is left adrift.

By this time, I had gotten tired of the Josette obsession storyline.  Especially when it is done TWICE in 1897!

When I see this episode now, I find Barnabas' head with the fangs funny.  What was he doing in that room?

Too bad there isn't any Magda/Julia scene. [spoiler]Though we learn they did meet once DS returns to the present time.[/spoiler]  It seems they didn't have the means to do a scene with an actor playing two roles at the same time until PT 1970 [spoiler]With Angelique & Alexis[/spoiler]

[spoiler]In the present time post 1897, is it possible the Leviathan's made the Collins family remember Quentin's ghost as a way to stop him from interfering with their plan?[/spoiler]

In the original 1897, Edward and Judith must have done something to get the original will back as Quentin didn't inherit anything.

Maybe Edward was told the secret and he didn't believe it or he died before he could have told Jamison.  Jamison could have been away fighting World War 1 at the time of Edward's death.
