o.k. just a few more final words then i'll stop...promise
.
having completed this collection i've been thinking about it.perhaps i'm looking for a dose of reality where i'm just not going to find it but there are a few implausiblities here that stand out for me(aside from the obvious like werewolves).
elizabeth collins stoddard is the town's queen bee.the company she runs probably employs half the townspeople and you know how small town gossip is.here she "dies" and no one knows anything about it.
there is no reading of a will,talk of inheritance,etc. that i caught.and remember that everyone besides carolyn really believed her to be dead.even an undertaker shows up.
now i know that this show didn't focus on such mundane realities such as this at this point but that doesn't make alot of sense to me.
much stranger is that when liz returns from the "dead" no one so much as raised an eyebrow.barnabas,julia and carolyn knew the real story behind her "death" but no one else did from what i could tell.then in the next episode it's just business as usual.didn't maggie and mrs.johnson find it odd to say the least when thier supposedly dead employer shows up and starts issuing orders?
now this was a secondary storyline and goodness knows i was glad to have liz back and no longer under that tedious spell but this was some sloppy writing.
on a lesser note even though the usual suspects(barnabas,julia)know what really happened to vicki to everone else the pat explanation was that she "had to go away" was going to suffice and no one was going to say "well,where the hell did she go?".
