There are only two specific DS moments I remember from back then. The first was when during the destruction of Collinwood in 1970, a visible canvas tarp came down from the ceiling and dumped debris onto the floor of the Great Hall. My 12 or 13 year old self thought he must be hallucinating!
The second was the final moments of the final episode. I wasn't watching regularly anymore. I too was PT-ed out, and had reached my limit what with all the games of musical chairs having been played with all the actors and characters. Somehow in some other world someplace, Julia was a Collins in 1841. This either gives you a stroke when you hear it, or if you're youthful and cardiologically bulletproof, it just weirds you out just a bit.
Had I heard this was the last episode? I can't remember. I know that my already mocking self was highly disappointed but amused with the business at the end voiceovered by Thayer, where he said about the bitemarks, wait, no, they were made by an animal after all, what a coincidence, phew, hooray and huzzah.
The end was something of a bummer, but I was a disaffected pre-teen viewer at this point.
