Current Talk '06 I / Re: The Phoenix in other shows/films?
« on: February 14, 2006, 05:17:38 AM »
I was wondering if this concept - a malevolent human incarnation of the mythical bird - was ever used later in another series or in a film?  I could have sworn I read in a fanzine about a TV movie using a very similar premise to the Laura storyline.  It might just be my imagination though.

If you recall anything about the TV movie, do let us know.  I've never come across another tale of a human phoenix, so I've long suspected that it's one of, if not the most original stories on DS.

I may be hallucinating again, but I seem to recall hearing that the boy who played Tommy died a couple of years ago.

... actor Josh Ryan Evans (Timmy the Living Doll) died of heart disease. A big part of Passions died with him.

One wonders how much "Sawyer" blood is mixed in with the Collins.

Sawyer blood?   [scratch]

Is that why Sawyer on Lost  reminds me so much of the early Quentin?  ;)

Happy Birthday to Annie!

Yep.  From http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=12214:

But perhaps the most juicy bit of recasting (if you have not already guessed, Shadows used existing company members for multiple roles to keep the constantly colliding planes of existence realistic and reliable within the show) was turning the cosmopolitan Grayson Hall and the robust Renaissance man Thayer David into a couple of smelly, thieving gypsies. As Magda and Sandor, they provide untold moments of mirth with their broad accents and even more amusing mannerisms. Each actor looks like they are having the time of their life in these "alternative" roles and their obvious energy spikes an already high bit of camp into psycho-surreal melodrama. ...

Click the following link to see the grave of Timothy Clark Smith, a Vermont native so terrified of being buried alive that he had a concrete shaft with a glass top placed over his grave so that if he was buried alive he could call for help with a bell and then see it actually coming.

"Be there with bells on!"  heheh

I find it very hard to believe that in the vast world of horticulture, there has never been a real  plant named the "Moon Poppy"

I refer to the white poppies in my garden as "moon poppies," whether they are or not.  ::)

Quote
I think when the planting season begins, I'm going to go in seach of such a thing among the many ornamental  nurseries in my area.  I'll be visiting them anyway, so getting in a bit of research among the owners shouldn't be difficult.  What will be most interesting will be to see if any of them say "Oh!...Dark Shadows!!" [lghy]

Or Werewolf of London, which I'm sure is where the DS writers got the idea.  ;)

The DS documentary was especially disappointing to me because I saw the debut episode of "Sciography" in August, 2000 and enjoyed it very much.  It was about another of my favorite shows, "Quantum Leap", and unlike what we saw at the Fest, this show was very informative and respectful.  It featured interviews with the actors, producers, and writers, video footage from a QL convention, and a chronology of the series.  Potentially touchy issues were glossed over.  It was a very pro-fan and pro-show program, not trashy at all.  IIRC, the next episode set to air was "Battlestar Galactica", and then DS, but I don't even know if the BSG Sciography ever did turn up.

The Battlestar Gallactica installment aired a month before Quantum Leap's in July, 2000; I only saw the former and didn't have a problem with it.  Babylon 5's was scheduled for September 2000 with the DS installment in line to air 4th, but neither of these two made it to airtime.

Heh heh, Rainey!

it upset several cast members and they walked out even. ... friends who were said the cast members that walked out were furious about it being shown.

Well, two cast members walked out:  Marie Wallace and KLS.  KLS has said that John Karlen did too, but did anyone see him walk out?  I didn't notice him leaving his seat.

Once again, MB, thank you for the heads up.


KAY (#3?):  [Fox] is everything I've ever dreamed of for Maria and me.

TABITHA:  (sarcastically)  Oh yes, I know.  I've heard it all before.  He's smart.  He's funny.  He's devilishly handsome.  As a matter of fact, he reminds me of one of my old beaus-- Barnabas.  Did I ever tell you about Barnabas Collins?  He was a tad eccentric, but SO sexy.  And he had the most devastating smile.   [vampire]
