Either/Or

I can't deny that I love the smell of lilacs.

Who was the most loyal servant Matthew Morgan (1966) or Istvan (1897)

Istvan! Follows orders to a T with absolutely no back talk!

Which one is the maddest mad scientist Eric Lang or Cyrus Longworth?

Well, both thought they had grand motives - but really, Longworth's motives were far more grander than Lang's. In the end, though, Longworth's good intentions unleashed something far worse on the world than he ever intended. Something far worse than Adam (even the Adam who was under Nicholas' control). But still, I'd say Longworth was more misguided than mad. So, I choose Lang as the madder of the two. 

Who dealt with her husband better Liz or Judith?

I would have to say Judith. Not only did she make sure the job was done, she followed up with phone calls.

Which signature theme do you prefer? Josette's Music Box or Ode to Angelique?

I would have to say Judith. Not only did she make sure the job was done, she followed up with phone calls.

Chuckle, Unc.  Follow-through is important.

Which signature theme do you prefer? Josette's Music Box or Ode to Angelique?

Josette's by a mile.  Ang's tune is a Josette's theme wanna be.

Jeb's zombie army, or Gerard's zombie army?

Gerard's. I don't even remember Jeb's zombie army, so G's must have been much more impressive.

Old House 1800s or Old House 1900s?

Yes, Gerard's zombies are far more memorable.  I used to keep forgetting that Jeb did it first.  I think this is when Louis Edmonds gave his least enthusiastic performance, reacting with "Oh my God!" but as if because of a contractual obligation, so I suspect he found invading zombies in the foyer a bit hard to take seriously.

The Old House and anyplace in the 1800s over anyplace in the 1900s, definitely.  Atmosphere-- the often plain and matter-of-fact 60s can't compete.

Fave no-talker:  Abraham Howell, whose hand was used as a decoy Petofi Hand... or that startled guy Tate drew into existence?

The Tate guy. Someone who truly didn't understand.

Where would you prefer to shop: Brewster's or the Todd's antique store?

Brewsters....Orbach's knock offs at great prices.   

Tony's trench coat or Trask's suit....

Do you mean 1795/96's Rev Trask?

(And this is a bit late but I love Ode to Angelique - its various arrangements are used to great effect in the 1970PT storyline.  )

Cool Cat Trask, Butler in Parallel time...   

Butler Trask all the way

Which costume party would you rather attend? The one given by Barnabas in 1967? Or the one hosted by Maggie Collins in PT 1970?

Definetly Maggie's PT extravaganza.  The 67 party was kind of boring with everyone sitting around the drawing room in the Old House with sour pusses on (well, except for  Victoria who had that dear in the headlights doofy look on her face).

Who would you want to hang out with on a night on the town, King Johnny or Count Petofi?

King Johnny, party dude. Probably a hangover the next morning, maybe even a missing wallet. But a night to remember, with none of Petofi's ulterior motives.

You're going to an art show. Would you rather see the paintings of Jeff Clark (HODS) or Quentin Collins (NODS)?

Quentin Collins...(well, except for the EYE!)  I don't think we even saw any of Jeff's paintings in HODS.


who would you trust to keep your house....Carlotta Drake or Beth Chavez....
