Did any Julia fans happen to catch Sunday night's Cold Case on CBS?  One of the victims, played by the lovely Amber Benson, was a hippie/activist named Julia Hoffman (poor Amber-- her characters keep getting shot), and her friend, also murdered that same day in 1969, was named Gerard.  It was startling to hear that first name mentioned.

Typically in CC, the crime is solved in the closing minutes, so this next part is a spoiler in case someone plans to catch "Volunteers" the next time it airs...

[spoiler]The murderer turns out to be Chris Sarandon (big sigh), which means that this Julia Hoffman was killed by a vampire after all... okay, a former vampire. [/spoiler]

Bob the Bartender, I hope you had a fantastic b-day!

From the new Entertainment Weekly (March 12):


Pilot Greenlight?
Insiders take a flyby at fall's hottest shows-- coming from Mel Gibson, Jessica Simpson, and Method Man.  by Lynette Rice

DARK SHADOWS  (The WB, from ER's John Wells)
Dramatic remake of the 1960s sudser about a rich family under a vampire curse.  BUZZ  "The WB already ordered six scripts, so it's pretty safe to say it's going on the air."

Think i will go get a bud from the fridge, and perhaps scarf down on a duck, perhaps one named Gertrude..

 

It's showing up now (don't you hate when that happens?) but I don't know why it wouldn't have been before, vw.  Sorry.

 

Welcome back!

What a fun topic!

If I may add a few personal faves--

Constable Carter is investigating the accident and is completely oblivious to the fact that David is staring uneasily at the wrench in his hands.  He addresses the boy but David is too terrified to speak, which Carter dismisses with, "He's probably just impressed with the dignity of my badge."

Roger and Liz are bickering in front of Frank Garner, and they're giving him contradictory instructions, so Roger snaps, "Whose divorce IS this, anyway?"

Vicki comments that Barn seems very taken with the night and Julia replies with something like, "He's certainly the most dedicated night person I know."

Vicki is shocked after meeting Nicholas, and Carolyn tells her that if Lucretia Borgia could have a brother, Cassandra could too.

Magda is cleaning the Old House and exasperatedly tells Jamison that Barnabas "has brought me something called 'the wax for the floors!'"  (I would've liked to have seen her when she was using it, snicker.)

Chris tells Barnabas that Ned "is going to hound me and hound me until he kills me!"

David reveals to Hallie that he had a dream about her.  She says, "Lots of boys have dreams about me."  David adds, "Yeah, but they don't try to go back to sleep afterwards."
