My theory is that these are remnants of the black and white days of DS. It may have been that white did not film well (too bright) and that they had to use blues to give the illusion of white. The same goes for using different dark hues so that everything didn't look jet black. No proof, just a theory.

For a while during the Adam & Eve story it seemed that very bright yellow was the preferred color for sheets. One practically had to wear sunglasses!

The character Angelique. I totally and unequivocally despise her. Her antics in 1795 are unredeemable and in 1840 she got what she deserved.

SPOILER: I only wish they would have had Barnabas pull the trigger.

Among the rest of the not-too-savory things listed was the following: Cows Lips

A Few months ago I nearly fainted when after years of eating my favorite breakfast meat (hush, Midnite!), I read the ingredients on a package of Mexican chorizo. The two that stick out most in my memory are lymph nodes and salivary glands. The remainder of that package still lies "chained" buried deep within the confines of our freezer. We think of it as "the secret".

Gagging Dom (who wishes he could have seen the look on Midnite's face the moment she saw his name under this topic!)

Thanks for the report, Yendor.

Dr. Smith is my alter ego. My friends just have to hear that I'm on my way to visit and they instantly become Dr. smith clones. It's hysterical. I end up getting dirty looks from their spouses upon my arrival, but it's well worth it. LOL.

I believe it is Gothick who has some fabulous Jonathan Harris anecdotes. (Sorry to put you on the spot, Tuffie darling. It is you, isn't it?)

Lost in Space was thee show when I was in grammar school. Those closed v-neck pullovers were all the rage.

Rest in peace, Dr. Smith/Mr. Harris, and thanks for the warm and wonderful memories...

For me, it's during the Leviathan storyline where she wants to live the life of a mortal woman, married to Sky Rumson, ignoring her powers and roll as a witch.

This is my favorite "enter Angelique" moment in the series. I never saw it coming and I had to SOL. Yes, I am with you Gerard, the Leviathan Angelique is my fave, as well.

PS - Acclaim wise though, I think 1897 Angelique is the best Parker portrayal of the character. I just had to watch a few eps ahead today and I must say, L.P. is turning in a brilliant performance so far.

You guys are a riot! (Or would "rot" be more appropriate in Connie's current state of "rest"? lol)

Lovin' this stuff!,

Todays episodes (11/01) were some of the best I've seen. They were practically flawless and they ran the gamut of emotions from intense to hysterical.

One of my favorites was the scene in the cottage between Sandor and Jamison. I absolutely loved it when Sandor (marvelously played by Thayer David - when isn't he marvelous?) after putting up with Jamison's intrusive questioning gets up in his face and warns in a most sinister tone, "I advise you to go back to Collinwood, it's going to be dark soon. Heh heh heh heh heh." And Jamison runs out the door in fear (and I imagine, soiled pants). One word - PRICELESS!

Who do you think is haunting Quentin?

I've been wondering if it is actually Grandmama's ghost. My first thought is that it was Barnabas that was creating the heartbeat. After all, it is one of his trademarks. And his warning to Quentin (about restless spirits) was made in a very cryptic manner. Then I had wondered who ransacked Quentin's quarters. I figured it was Barn as well, but then the thought did occur to me that it may have been Dirk. I figured he may have done it because he is jealous of Quentin's pursuit of Beth. It's obvious (to me) that Dirk is the man Beth has been seeing up until now. Grandmama's glove has got me stumped. I'd chalk that trick up to Barnabas as well. I really can't pinpoint why, but I don't get the feeling that Grandmama is doing the haunting. I don't remember if this is resolved in the story.

P.S. My two favorite Quentin moments today were the blooper and the slobber. The saliva spilling over his bottom lip as he choked his Grandmother in his dream added such intensity to that scene. It was rather startling.

I had to lol when he referred to Barnabas Collins as Barnabas Cousin. I'd forgotten about this blooper and it caught me off guard. I just know as soon as my head hits the pillow tonight I am going to think of it and start giggling uncontrollably.
