look out...


Bradford is by far his most tolerable characterization. avoid ned stuart at all costs.

I seem to recall one particularly ultraphantasmagoric episode with three female characters...Angelique, Eve and Vicki.


ang and eve have some sort of bickering match in their diaphanous chiffon sugar-plum-fairy-from-hell getups outside Collinwood. cut to a scene with Vicki, in her usual Ohrbach's sleeveless number, and Jeff(again, bickering)and in her normalcy(Alexandra, incidentally, nearing her end on the series and turning in a blander than usual performance)almost seems like a character from another series. or planet.

it was a strange period on the series.

the slender moore appears to be playing margaret white in the piper laurie tradition...

I never read the king book but, yes, I would have assumed the carrie character would have been somewhat "homely". so it's interesting that yet again a thin and pretty actress is cast in the part.


as I recall from my own high school days girls that looked like moretz usually got all the cash and prizes.

no there's nothing "terrible" about this event...


and there is nothing "terrible" about asking normal, legitimate questions about it or expressing an opinion. this is a message board after all.

pierson seems like he runs a tight ship. i'm just surprised he's cool with this.


it might be a "win-win" for the fans indeed but from a business point of view is in direct competition with the official "fest". I'm sure lots of fans who were on the fence about the cruise have opted out because there is another full scale fan gathering attended by members of the cast.


the fest is not an informal fan gathering or a charity event but a business enterprise that needs to remain commercially viable for it to continue. so again i'm surprised TPTB are going for this.


from a money making point of view the 1991 series is virtually worthless. it's just twelve episodes on a one dvd collection. I picked it up for fourteen dollars. meanwhile the OS is an endless cash cow at 1200+ episodes. so from start to finish I've probably spent thousands of dollars at mpi. so while I can see TPTB allowing a fan gathering for the 1991 series, which receives virtually no recognition at all in the traditional fest setting, i'm surprised the OS has been merged with this event.

Being one of the Friends of 91 DS organizers:  I assure you, Michael C., this is neither "Hodgepodge" or a "Total Mess" .  The "B" actors you refered to are generously contributing their time and talents on behalf of charity for Lyndhurst Estates.  You are correct, we attempted this last year but all participants schedules were full.  I suggest you find out about the event before slamming it.  Any questions can be sent to friendsof91ds@comcast.net.

right or wrong i think we all know who the "golden trinity" of the DS cast is. it's not my assessment but that of fandom in general. the guest list does not include the principles of either series. hence the "b" remark. but i'll not debate it further...


i guess my only other "question" would be as to why monica rich(kosann)is still being listed as a guest? not only is she not attending but, until i mentioned it to her, had actually never even heard of it...

hate to burst any bubbles but she actually thinks "we" are a bit odd.

a few thoughts about this little "event"...


for starters the company i work for distributes monica rich kosann's fine jewelry and home decor. she has an in store shop and i see her every day. when i read about this event on FB today she's the first person i asked about it as she's supposedly a guest. as it turns out she knows absolutely nothing about it whatsoever. she actually seemed quite stunned and displeased that her name is being used as part of the advertising for an event she knows nothing of. so that is certainly something to ponder...


also this seems like the beginning of some sort of break up of the festival situation. what's going on with all of these conflicting events with different invited guests in different cities at different times? the OS guest list for this little affair is, if you'll forgive me, somewhat "B" list. it looks like marie is attending several of the different happenings but is this some sour grapes i'll-show-you from those not attending the increasingly divisive CRUISE? a certain actress who has been EXTREMELY vocal in her displeasure at not being invited on said cruise is actively promoting this although she has not(yet)been listed as a guest.

the language being used by various participants involved in "this" event versus "that" event is becoming rather competitive and side-picking.

the whole thing is getting weird.
