Thanks for such a warm welcome! In answering one of your questions, yes, my dad still watches the show. He is not heavily into it, he is a school teacher and after school, when I get home, we watch it together. Usually, he isn't paying too much attention because he is on the computer with his racing stuff. (Now THAT'S something he's obsessed with!). I have not seen the full run of the series yet. I started watching it closely towards the end of the Dream Curse. Plus, I still have missed TONS of episodes due to school and homework. For instance, I have never seen Angelique place her infamous curse on Barnbas, or Barnabas brick up Trask, and other pivotal events. I just know about them because I will read about it or you can tell by watching later episodes. I was involved in my school musical, Titanic, from January to the middle of April, and missed a lot of 1795. We had practices pretty late every night, especially the closer we got to opening night. I barely had time to do my homework, let alone watch televison! It was definately a learning experience though. I could never understand when I read transcripts from the DS stars why they said the "live shooting" was so wonderful and how you got your best performances from it. But it's true! In live theatre, there is always the chance that something could go wrong and it is such an adrenaline rush! lol
Anyway, I am excited about school ending so I can actually be able to catch everyday's episodes! Again, thanks for such a wonderful welcome and I look forward to talking to everyone!
