Thoughts on 1840

[AndreDuPres]

I just finished Set 23 (yes, it took me longer than usual, but with finals and papers all closing in at once...), and I've concluded that 1840 is indeed quite hit-and-miss.  At times I'm positively glued to the screen (usually when Samantha and Quentin and Gabriel are on); at other times I barely manage to get through an episode (all the boring pseudo-scientific stuff with that Head).  The dialogue is still mostly poor (I'm not expecting Shakespeare here, but please...!  At least live up to past standards!); the characters lack motivation and reason (why, oh, why did Quentin hire Daphne?  This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!); and there are *so* many continuity problems (esp. in regards to [spoiler]Roxanne becoming a vampire).[/spoiler]  However, there are moments of brilliance.  Quentin and Samantha's fight over Tad is pure soap opera joy.  My new favourite quote:  [spoiler]"He's *not* your son!".[/spoiler]

1840 is amzeing time period. with the trial of Quentin and Desmond. i think its so kool how [spoiler]Valerie of all people saves them in the end.[/spoiler]that scene is amazeing when the head of zachery lights up. so kool. i dunno and i will never understand why curtis did not like 1840 or the levithins. everything is good except adameve. i like adam until he gets bossy with barnabas then he just gets plain annoying. eve is annoying as well. and the 1995 time period and the ghost of gerard and daphne i dont care for. but 1840 is truly amazeing. my fav John Karlen character is desmond and kendrick.
