the early part of the story did have some interesting potential(although the pitch of it was too loud i thought).and he did have a few sweet scenes with carolyn(although she's not using her best judgement to say the least).but once nicky gets involved it devolves into "creature double feature"(a satanic master race,is that correct???).it's just not sophisticated.

but all this being said...i do always find scenes and elements to the show i like.

i wish i did understand patti...could you elaborate?are there less posters now than before?or do you mean the "visual" content of the board since the upgrade?

a great read!it's true about alexandra's hair in these episodes.she wears a massive fall...which is funny because in later eps. we see that she already possesses the most luxurient head of hair imaginable.maggie too gets that funny ash-blonde wig.she's sooo "maggie the sassy waitress",full of vinegar from her years slinging hash but true at heart.(she and vicki would have been wise to take that bus back to new york).vicki show's a preference for blouses and cardigans these days(she hasn't just yet dove head first into sleeveless).i think liz's "at home" attire is awsome,you could tell they were very impressed to have this "grand dame" with them(as i complained about in a recent post it's sad the way the character deteriorates by 1968).roger's cigarette pants are too much!(as is the cheesy prop-glass brandy snifter he shatters between his fingers in "fear").i agree that there was a strange chemistry between roger and vicki here...a bit later they very briefly toy with the idea of romance(imagine!).but a set-up between her and burke is obvious from minute one at the train station.i love vicki endlessly wandering around in that trench.the exteriors were so good(it is funny how the more successful the show becomes the cheaper it's production values).carloyn gyrating at the blue whale is priceless.

this is making me want to go back and watch from the beggining again but i have to finish what i've started .

discussing the d.s. fashion is my favorite subject on earth!i'm all for reading about it...but like the "robservations" i can't quite navigate the "idle thoughts",it seems to start in the 700 episodes(which is farther along than what i've seen).is that correct?i'd love to read them from the start of the show and go foreward.

i couldn't agree more devlin...ms. bennett is often equisitely attired(i love the matching bow).but my favorite "liz look" is episode one's formal evening gown and jewels for "at home" entertaining.

I wish that they had never ceased using AM for the opening voiceovers. "My name is Victoria Winters..." was as much to me an "icon" of the show as Barn's ring, cane, or any other prop and/or whatever icon of the show. I remember not hearing it for the first time and feeling a great sense of loss. 

But that aside, there sure were some fantastic post-VW opening voiceovers weren't there?

that's exactly how i felt too dom after the first post-AM voiceover.i loved that it was like a girl reciting something from her diary.i know her episode one voiceover by heart(i'm sure alot of us do).

my "quote" is part of one of vicki's voiceovers from the very beggining of the barnabas story when she still started with "my name is...".

i'm looking foreward to the "dallas" reunion special sunday night.

on msnbc they run a show called "headliners & legends",sort of a mini-documentary about famous people.they frequently air a show about lauren hutton and interviewed is none other than kls.not sure of the conection but i think that they may have been "playboy bunnies" together in the mid 1960's.if you see it listed check it out.
