I rather like some of those songs, although it is odd to me that the customers there don't get annoyed that a total of MAYBE 5 songs have ever played in their bar. Anyways, it kinds of sounds like The Tornados but I'm pretty sure it's not them - anybody know?

If you locked all of the following villains in a room together and didn't let them out until one of them came out victorious, who would it be? Since some of these people are probably immortal, the winner didn't necessarily kill everyone, but just made them submit in one way or another. Some of these people would obviously get destroyed very early in the fight but I wanted to include every villain-- add on if any were forgotten.

[spoiler]Judah Zachary
Nicholas Blair
Angelique
Garth Blackwood
Count Petofi
Aristede
Laura Collins
Jeb Hawkes
All of the Trasks
Adam
Eve/Danielle Roget
Quentin Collins' Ghost
Evil Barnabas
Parallel Time Angelique
Haza and/or Oberon
Parallel Time Brutus Collins
Parallel Time Morgan Collins
Bruno
Chris Jennings/Quentin as a werewolf[/spoiler]

I haven't quite decided but I think either Judah, Count Petofi, or Nicholas Blair would come out the winner, since there are various pairs of people who would probably go directly for each other and end up destroying each other early on in the fight. But never count out Garth Blackwood-- he's scrappy! LOL...

I was watching some dark shadows with a friend of mine and we had a discussion about Petofi's glasses I found interesting. These glasses were THICK, as Thayer David's eyes look enormous when he wears them. I'm not sure if anyone has ever put glasses like these on, when you don't need them, but they are very uncomfortable. Your vision is really blurry, it makes you feel dizzy, and gives you a headache. Not to mention, it causes long term damage to your eyes.

So did Thayer David need such thick glasses, or did he walk around barely able to see anything just for the sake of the character? That is devotion, lol.. I suppose it's also possible that the glasses were fake, but they do appear to magnify his eyes considerably, so I thought they were real.

[spoiler]
Remember when Quentin was killed by Jenny early in maybe the 3rd week of the storyline? At this point Barnabas went to great lengths, including begging Angelique, to have Quentin brought back to life. But the fact is, if Quentin had died right then, then the cause of his haunting Collinwood would not have happened yet. Most likely, this would have changed history so that Quentin was not a ghost in the future, since he was still on good terms with Jamison when he died. Instead Barnabas chose a far more complicated route which involved Quentin becoming immortal, and therefore unable to be a ghost, lol...
[/spoiler]

Of course, Barnabas had no way of knowing that though ... 

[spoiler]It was revealed at one point that the werewolf curse is inherited by all male descendents of a werewolf. Chris Jenning's was shown to
actually be Quentin's (great?) grandson, which explained why he suffered from the curse. But he and Tom were twin brothers, so obviously Tom was a descendent of Q's as well, so ... Was Tom also a werewolf and we just never heard about it, or is there some reason that he didn't suffer from the curse. One can't really argue that its a recessive trait or something like that, because indentical twins have the same exact genetic makeup, so if one of them had it, the other surely should have as well.

The only way to make the DS story consistent on this point is to have Tom be a werewolf as well. Thats pretty hard to believe though, considering no one heard/saw anything about a werewolf until after Chris arrived, and Tom had clearly been around town for a while, as he was known around as many people's handyman ... Also Joe Haskell remarked about how Chris underwent a change a while back which changed him to an iintrovert and a man who moved around all the time and was hard to reach, but Tom was not like that at all, further indicating Tom wasn't a werewolf.[/spoiler]

Any thoughts?

***SPOILERS***

Before Petofi re-attached his hand, he said that when it was removed he was given 100 years to get it back. He also made a reference indicating that if he were successful, he would be granted immortality. So there is no way Petofi died in the fire with Garth Blackwood right? His eyeglasses were out there, but he must have gotten away without them or something ...

If DS had gone on they should've re-included him in the plot. Maybe show some scenes outside of Collinsport where Chris Jennings is wandering the earth looking for Petofi and eventually finds him in Alexandria (LOL!) or something, and then ends up making a terrible deal with him in exchange for a cure.

SPOILER ALERT

I was watching episode 827 where King Johnny and Istvan hold Magda at widow's hill about to kill her, and Barnabas arrives. Just to show King Johnny that he meant business, he put Istvan in a trance and makes him walk off widow's hill!! He ended up striking up a deal with King Johnny shortly after anyhow, so this murder seemed totally unnecessary. By the way, Johnny didn't seem to care one bit that his tribesman/traveling companion had just died, LOL..

I was recently watching the episode where Greg Trask finds Rachel living at Collinwood after an apparent falling out they had some years before that. The way they interacted seemed to subtlely imply that possibly Trask abused her as a child (and not just emotionally). Was this intended or am I imagining this?
