was "caliban" the first or second "creation"?
I must say they really "faked out" the audience with the first one. giving him a personality and almost a "backstory" that they appeared to be developing. he seemed to being "fleshed out" as a character before...
well, you know.

similarly on the DS I recall any character being involved in anything weird (séances. tarot card. crystal ball) was always a "devoted student of the occult".
"occult" being something of a catchall on the series.
that and having "second sight".![[easter_rolleyes]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/easter_rolleyes.gif "Roll Eyes")

interesting point about Barnabas' ability to identify "Victorian" fashion. you'd think any style of dress between 1795 (or 6? of was it 7???) and 1967 would be unrecognizable to him under the circumstances. ![[easter_wink]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/easter_wink.gif "Wink")
I have to assume the writers of PD just though "demimonde" sounded like a "cool" word and figured it was obscure enough that most viewers would not know it was being grossly misused.
and granted she's just a teenager but I recall Chloe Moretz describing Barnabas as both an "Elizabethan" and a "Victorian" gentleman during the prerelease press for the film. needless to say of which he was neither.

the continued and flagrant misuse of the phrase demimonde on this series, now taken to the extreme of titling the episode, is baffling. do they just think most viewers are so stupid they won't notice it???
sort of reminds of when Depp Shadows was being filmed and everyone kept calling everything "Victorian". like it was just some generic catchall for a period piece where women wore long dresses.

speaking of Hartnett's oft-seen derriere G...
if you look at how those scenes are shot you get a closeup of Josh's face followed by a full back view where his face is not at all visible. makes me wonder if there is not perhaps a bit of "stunt butting" going on. is there a "stand in" or double for the actual nudity?
that said I'm sort of having an attitude of attraction/repulsion to this whole sh*tshow. I'm sort of engaged (perhaps it's Green that's drawn me in?) but I can't make heads nor tails of it and cannot imagine where it's possibly going it's so all-over-the-place.
like dom said it's fine summer viewing while most things are on hiatus.

Calendar Events / Announcements '14 I / Semi-OT Joanna Going House of Cards
« on: May 25, 2014, 11:59:03 AM »
i think this topic was brought up earlier but has anyone seen season two of 'house of cards'?
joanna going plays the first lady of the united states tricia walker.
it's a relatively small but important role. going is very good but the character is rather weak and witless and inadvertently participates in her husband's political downfall.
thoughts on this performance?

to say nothing of the rest of her outbursts just in terms of the "cruise" when the last one was being planned(one to which she had apparently not been asked to attend)all she did was bemoan how exclusionary it was and how it outpriced most fans...
apparently she suddenly finds it more "inclusive"??? whatever.

after her outrageous behavior in recent years the fact that ms. cody had somehow managed to reingratiate herself with festival organizers is astonishing.
I cannot believe she is attending this or is participating in new audiodrama recordings.![[easter_shocked]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/easter_shocked.gif "Shocked")

I caught episode two last night...
this thing is so weird I don't even know what to think about it.
the séance scene was beyond. Eva was almost demonic and it actually recalled to me her final scene in DS. she's definitely in her element here.
and the final few seconds... gross!

« on: May 17, 2014, 06:20:10 PM »
yes...
part of the reason Rosemary (in the book and in the original movie) found herself in the situations she was in was because she was subservient to not only her husband but also a series of male doctors in who's care she put herself in and who's increasingly bizarre demands she submitted to.
her sense of helplessness was what fueled much of the drama.
there was also a subtle dig at a woman "asserting herself" (getting "above her place") because it was Rosemary who wanted to take the apartment over a less expensive one her husband had already selected and was made to pay for her request dearly.
like some of our DS "damsels in distress" Rosemary was very much a product of a different time and place that is hard to replicate in a way that makes any sense.

Current Talk '14 I / Re: A. Moltke in 1897
« on: May 17, 2014, 11:56:03 AM »
coincidentally someone posted this week on one of the FB boards an article from one of the old "soap weeklies" announcing Moltke's then upcoming departure from DS...
interestingly at the time at least her exit was being reported more as "maternity leave" than a permanent departure with Alexandra "undecided" about whether or not she would "return to work" or become a full time stay at home mother.
in retrospect obviously her mind was already made up and she had no intention of coming back but back then that was how the story was being covered.

even thought this is being touted as an *adaptation* of the novel and not a remake of the original movie there are some classics that are just so indelible that cannot be remade or improved upon.
this was almost destined to crash and burn.
