Sorry, I got Amanda and Kitty mixed up there. Never mind

No need to apologize, Willie. I thought that might be the case. If you've seen one gold digger...

O is for Opera - IIRC, Count Petofi listened to Opera (or was it Classical - instrumental with no singing?).

Gosh, I don't recall Petofi listening to opera, though it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

But anyway, the opera was mentioned more than once on the show (for one, PT Angelique said that Bruno could have been a character in one), so...

Just to stir things up a bit, when Tate painted that Blackmore guy who was in charge of the prison that Aristede escaped from, he came to life with memories and personality intact. Yet when he painted Amanda, she came to life not knowing who she was, and with some sort of "psychic link" or whatever to Josette. It's not really logically consistent - on the one hand he brings people back to life, while on the other hand he creates reincarnations.

Spoiler:

Tate created Amanda from his imagining of the perfect woman <gurgle>. She didn't exist before 1895, so when we first see her, her memories go back only 2 years. But Garth Blackwood, whom he resurrected straight from hell (at Petofi's instruction), was the real Master of Dartmoor Prison before Aristede killed him. So Amanda became a mortal woman after Tate painted her, but Blackwood, once human, became a demon/ghost (take your pick) after Tate painted him.

I hate to say it, but it all actually does make logical sense.

Amanda was not the reincarnation of Josette; only Kitty had that distinction. The two women lived at the same time, and were even in Collinsport simultaneously.

With this purple theme, it's very hard to tell the difference and I don't see anything explaining what they are. It seems that the purplish squares are a bit lighter in color for the categories with new posts, but it's not obvious like our previous themes.

I noticed that the upgrade made the ones on the Home page clickable. So if you're unsure whether they're indicating a new post on that board or not, you need only place your cursor over them (this is true of ALL themes). Or ... you can click the square (or diamond) and see what happens. Does that help?

The TVShowsOnDVD article (there are 2 links to it on the previous page) mentions the 8/28 release dates listed on Amazon (and DVDEmpire as well).

(I recognize the actress playing his wife as someone who frequently guested on shows in the '60s - but for the life of me I can't place her name...)

I'm thinking it's E. J. Peaker, who was in Hello Dolly and did a lot of TV in the 70s too.

i'm assuming i have IE because i have the purple theme.

The dark purple theme is the current default theme. Regardless of whether you have IE or not, you have it until you change themes via your profile.

To identify your browser, click Help in the top menu bar on your screen, and in the dropdown menu select "About ___". A window will identify your browser and its version. (In the case of IE7, you may have to enable that menu toolbar if it's missing.)

i never did get to see that elusive "lightning" theme but this is much better than the default blue.

I don't see why you can't preview the lightning theme, even if you use an upgraded Explorer. Open the Look & Layout Preferences area of your Profile, click "change" that follows Current Theme, and on the next page "preview" the 3rd theme down. You can click Mystic Night's "use this theme" (listed 1st and 4th) to return to the dark purple.

Hope that helped.

Wow... I have almost no idea what everyone is talking about, but I do know that in Windows98 I have accessibility features that blow print up...under Control Panel.

Well, browsers allow users to set a minimum font size; searching the individual browser's Help contents for font size will tell you how.

In Firefox, use Tools > Options. Select Content. In the Fonts & Colors section, click Advanced. Specify a minimum font size in the dropdown menu (i.e. 14 to enlarge the Forum's text) and click OK.

Episode #8 is missing the last 30 seconds. Where miss hopewell is dictating a letter to her secretary to send to Vicki say a man named WILBER STRAKE was in there asking questions. Hence, why Vicki goes to Burkes Hotel room. I e-mailed MPI and they said they will fix it in the next batch run and replace mine.

Disc 1 of the 1st Collection also has a cut?!

Again, some fans can still catch Joanna Going in the Close to Home season finale-- her 3rd appearance in a row on the show.

In addition to the ep mentioned in the main topic, she is in "Fall From Grace" and tonight's "Eminent Domain."

Y is for Y-shaped, which describes the divining rods used for exorcisms by Quentin and Prof. Stokes. (And if you set it ablaze, it might find a witch, or at the very least some water to put out the fire.)
