Has anyone spotted Jeremiah's portrait in PT?  It obviously isn't over the fireplace as in regular time; how different was Jeremiah's history from his RT counterpart, do you suppose?  I see that the portrait-that-resembles-Joshua has a slightly more prominent location in the drawing room in this storyline.

Parallel time Collinwood has a rooster too?!

After three years, it is very easy to forget that Barnabas is living - or anyway, undead - history.  What did he think when he heard the news that King Louis XVI had been guillotined?  And was poor Louis XVI guillotined in parallel time?

But wouldn't Barnabas already know this since the execution happened in his lifetime?  Or did I misunderstand what you're saying?

So which is worse, tannic acid or booze?

I thought tea contained tannin, not tannic acid.  But with this viewing, I am really noticing the amount of booze that Will consumes.

[spoiler]I must admit that it's painful to watch these DS episodes purely because of the outright thievery of one of Hitchcock's best pictures. I simply don't know how much more I can stand. Sorry, folks, but there it is.[/spoiler]

I am not a big fan of this storyline, but I wonder if it's fair to harshly judge it based solely on it being a ripoff of a major movie.  The writing indeed relies heavily on du Maurier's story, but at different times, DS plots have also borrowed from Henry James, Emily Brontë, RL Stevenson, Mary Shelley, HP Lovecraft, EA Poe, etc.

Spoiler alert would be nice. I've never seen that episode and didn't even know "1795" had anything to do with anything. Oh well . . . Just thought I'd point that out since it seems every one is so hard up about it at randomly selected times.

MB and I try to get spoiler warnings in place as a help to our readers who haven't seen all the eps.  Admittedly, we might not catch them all, and my apologies in this instance.  Though in hindsight, it does seem helpful that the poster began his sentence with "in episode 463."

Is that the Rose Red house that Stephen King wrote about?

Yep, the Winchester House was an inspiration for RR.

Here you go-- the same photo is on the web:

Just a note that this weekend's Eye on LA (Saturdays at 6:30 p.m., Sundays at noon on KABC7) includes a repeat of this segment-- same as the one in the main topic, except Leslie Sykes is reporting this time around.

I don't have the revised Almanac nor The Movie Book so perhaps it's in one of those?

It's mentioned in the 2000 Almanac, and I couldn't tell you where I'd read about the stolen painting before that.  BTW, what's not mentioned in the book is that the thief cut around the painting to get it out of the frame, sigh.
