I've yet to be disappointed by any of the CDs. Blood Dance arrived today, and of course; I dropped everything and listened! As usual it did not disappoint. It was great to hear Lisa Richards again.

I thought Echos of Insanity was horrible. Every track was redundant. Willie goes on and on about his past with Jason and sounds like a raving lunatic. And how is it that every bar in Singapore is equipped with Blue Whale jukebox music? Very sloppy, folks. Research, people.
A pal of mine wrote a grand story of Willie's early involvement with Jason. It is nothing short of brilliant. I love that the folks who make these CD's have gone to tremendous efforts to bring together the actors from the original show, but the writing stinks. Please look at what the fans are writing. There's a lot out there that is quite nicely done and true to our characters.

Too short a skirt on Liz. Not that she doesn't have a great figure, but Mini-skirt Land doesn't work for a woman her age. Our age...

It appears that the Collinsport Funeral Parlor/Tombstones While U Wait outfitted most of our manly heroes in this episode.

I am curious to know how Cyrus is able to afford a giant diamond for his fiancee and three-piece suits for himself.

Here we go again. Nobody told Roger about Alexis, hence another shocker. Family meeting, Q-man. Announce the twin sister before somebody has heart failure.

Okay, so what was the relationship between Angelique and Sabrina?

On to the next episode, if this old poster can stay awake.

Fill in the blank:

Lamp: Psst! Hey, Candle, when those jokers begin the seance tonight, why don't you _____?
Chair: That's evil!

i've skipped the audiodramas after the first one. the stories didn't captivate me after the novelty of hearing those "iconic' voices together again wore off.

but frid and karlen together again is a real temptation. i'll pick this up. [ghost_wink]

I agree completely. I don't care much for the stories, but Frid and Karlen together will be a treat.

All right. Which one of you is responsible for not telling me that John Karlen was in this episode??? Hmm???

In the beginning... So Will Loomis is supposedly interviewing Barnabas. How much of a pain in the ass do you think it is to remove the chains from his coffin on a daily basis?

Ha ha ha! That robe that Cyrus is wearing! He looks like a blood red orange surrounded by butterflies.

Check it out, Cyrus. The Collinsport Theater is showing "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde", starring Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman....

Cyrus' notes look as though they are written in Egyptian. Maybe it's just his scratch.

Oh. One more thing. Who is this "Paxton" guy? Is there no George Patterson in PT Land? If that's the case, maybe there is parallel food, and a parallel diner and parallel eggs Benedict, and even parallel Spam. Oh, the humanity!

One would tend to think that with all the influence and power that Quentin has, he would be able to rid Collinwood of Bruno quite easily.

That Gladstone guy - pedophile, slimy detective, sleeps in his clothes, raincoat - no pants underneath...he smells...he just gives me the creeps.

Bruno has gone off the deep end here. You've been twisting your hair curlers too tight, babe.
A lot of houses in New England have low thresholds. Bruno's hair would not survive.

I got it! Gladstone reminds me of Sidney Toler - the drunken actor that portrayed Monogram's Charlie Chan!

Well, it looks like they finally got a couch long enough to support Long & Lanky.

What was with the frosted glass that Cyrus drank from? Did they not have any money for dry ice or something?

And according to Michael Stroka himself, a lot of the clothes Bruno wears during this storyline came from Stroka's own closet.

EW!

Angelique's portrait  - the composition is very nice, but that lamp! I would have put a vase of white or pink roses on the pedestal.

I do believe Quentin's orange jacket brings out his blue eyeballs. That is a positive thing.

Every lab should have a mirror. One must look one's best when mixing psychedelic chemicals.

All right. Bruno's hair. It makes me think of food. Cotton candy, Marshmallow Fluff, meringue...

The dead coming back to life? What is Bruno talking about???

That Gladstone guy gives me the creeps. He is one seedy-looking character. Brrr!

How many of you keep pruning shears in the bedroom?

LOL!!!

B: "Remember when I banged on the door and screamed 'Let me in!!!'?  Well, LET ME OUT!!!   The only good thing about Parallel Time is that I'm finally getting some much-needed rest!"

And now I'm surprised at how short a time it took for Maggie to leave Collinwood in a huff.  I shouldn't be; Kathryn Leigh Scott is needed on the set for the movie. But I'm surprised anyway.  And I think to myself: "Maggie didn't give the marriage much of a chance."  But there were serious problems there, so maybe she was right to pull Quentin up short right away, and let him know that the marriage wasn't just about him.

If I were Maggie, I would have run screaming from Collinwood too. She has been under the gun and tried by every member of the family, as well as the servants.

So what is "Alexis" up to?

Is there a PT Mrs. Johnson?

I was watching an old movie today where Spencer Tracy was staying at a luxury hotel and when he went to use the phone, there was no dial thing. So that's where Dan Curtis got those old phones...

Check out Bruno's jacket. It is very similar to one that Davy Jones sported on one of the Monkees episodes, Forget which song he sang...

Ack! The afghan!

Ship docking from Genoa. Hope to hell they brought along massive quantities of salami.

What a difference in Chris Pennock. Love his Cyrus, who BTW needs to find himself a copy of RLS's Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

"I saw Angelique walking down the street." ... singin', doo wah ditty ditty dum ditty doo...

I wonder how Chris and Cyrus came to be pals? School? Brief encounters at the Blue Whale?

Quentin's gold shirt and blue jacket - no. Gold shirt should go with horrendous orange plaid coat.

You know, Quentin should have called a family/servant meeting to announce the arrival of Alexis instead of everyone being shocked by her presence.

"Geooorge...tell me about the rabbits...

I like Quentin better when he used to channel his anger to lovemaking. But that's just me.

Creepy music in Angelique's room as the kids are discussing who dodn't hum what. I half expected Vincent Price to show up at any moment.

And the Rotten Kid of the Year Award goes to...

I have to say that Grayson Hall is dynamite here. If only Hitchcock had been a fan of DS, he maybe might have plucked Ms. Hall away and featured her in a feature. Seriously, though, it's a pleasure to watch her in this part.

Hey, Saints be Praised, I have a recording of Angelique's song or Ode to Angelique, or whatever the hell it's called. Call me. We'll do lunch.

One of the things that I really like about the Quentin aspect of this storyline is that right from the outset it's established that Quentin is a damaged and pained man - and it soon becomes apparent that his oftentimes bizarre and even cruel behavior is because of that pain. But the intriguing thing is that we're not quite sure from where/what his pain stems. There are some assumptions one can make along the way. But will they stand up? Only time will tell...


[spoiler]He's playing Maxim de Winter. A pained and damaged man. Why? Because of his nasty ass wife. I am still trying to figure out who is playing George Sander's part. Probably nobody. But that's beside the point.
This storyline is pure thievery from Rebecca. As I've stated earlier, Selby does a stellar job playing de Winter. His anguish, crabbiness, his time of the month sensibility stems from his pure hatred of his wife's philandering nature right in front of his face. This much is intimated every time a man speaks of Angelique.
I must admit that it's painful to watch these DS episodes purely because of the outright thievery of one of Hitchcock's best pictures. I simply don't know how much more I can stand. Sorry, folks, but there it is. The best part of this whole thing is Grayson Hall's portrayal of "Danny".[/spoiler]

Ace combs - made to last forever!

David's posters and stuff always make me think of The Banana Splits TV show. Very mod and psychedelic. Uh oh! Tongo!

Maggie, disguise yourself as an old crone, give the kid a poisoned apple and call it a day. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the rottenest kid of all?

Sam Evans and Will Loomis whooping it up at Collinwood? It isn’t a parallel world. It’s a paradoxical world.

So which is worse, tannic acid or booze?
