thanks mysterious,i'll give it a shot.what are the benefits of doing this?

here's a question for computer dummies like me.the site frequently suggests "clearing one's browser cache" as it does with the halloween graphics.what does that mean?i know this will sound dumb but i have no idea.

they seem to use the phrases "undead" or "the living dead" alot."vampire" doesn't come up alot at least in the earlier part of b's story(even as victims with bite marks on their necks start popping up left and right).
i want to rewatch the first ep. where julia confronts barnabas with her knowledge of his "condition" and see if the word comes up.

they have been running "father of the bride" alot on cable lately.it stars spencer tracy,elizabeth taylor and of course joan bennett.i think it was made in the early 1950's so even though joan is much younger than she was on d.s. as soon as she opens her mouth all i hear is "liz".i've never heard of "the secret beyond the door" but it sounds cool.i'll look for it.it would have been awsome if they had used some of joan's old movie clips in the 1949 flashback.i was slightly disappointed by it because they didn't do much to make liz look "40's".she sort of looked like she always did.i would have liked to see a snood and some major shoulder pads.

to clarify i hope it didn't sound like i was being critical of k.l.s.'s performance of josette which i really liked.i just meant that the writers never fully "fleshed her out" as a real live woman.

I don't personally care if you liked her performance or not. You should say how you feel (within limits as this board is of course monitored). I think KLS was uneven and almost housewifey and ordinary when she was trying to act adult Josette. Her earlier scenes as insecure Josette were my favorites.

that was strangely rude stefan.i just didn't want it to seem like i was insulting an actress alot of people on this board really like.

tonight i watched the episode where vicki was taking sanctuary at the evan's cottage...i don't want to "spoil" anything so let's just say she was hiding from you-know-who who was trying to make her have the you-know-what.during all this drama there is a scene in which vicki and maggie sit on the bed and discuss their dreams and boyfriends and whatnot and the whole thing had a girlish,slumber party feel to it.

so what if things worked out differently???what if vicki permanantly moved into maggie's house and "commuted" over to collinwood to care for david?what if maggie and vicki set up a kicky "girl's only" clubhouse?it had that feel.i can see them sprucing-up the place with avacado plants and toss pillows and beanbag chairs.carolyn could "drop-in" to hang with her mini-skirted sisters.they like julia and elizabeth,but really,they are like so "squaresville".

...the things that one thinks about.

i think that perhaps alot of fans(and barnabas himself)like the "idea" of josette more than the character(as played by k.l.s.)itself.the character of josette was only on the show for about three months during the 1795 story and even there was a rather naive woman whom quickly became the object of a witch's wrath and became a victim rather than a fully realized character.we don't learn much about her.
after the barnabas intro the "human" characters(esp. the women)don't get alot of character development but they sure do become the objects of supernatural shenanigans.the exception to this of course is julia.
josette has an enormous presence on the show considering how long she was actually at collinwood(in life).
