... with the new shift in storyline.
That's how I feel now that the Adam storyline seems to be over (and I celebrate the departure of Nicholas Blair as well!). Not too much worthwhile emerged from the Adam "experiment," IMO, although there were some good moments, of course. We came to know Professor Stokes better; there were some frightening moments with Maggie's memory returning and her and Joe's realization that they were both vampire victims.
I'd actually like to pretend the whole Adam business never happened. Although, I think the idea of Barnabas having a perpetual "double"/variation on the doppleganger idea is interesting, I still didn't cotton to this storyline. Did the PTB really think viewers wanted to watch Adam pout endlessly for week after week? Talk about someone having a chip on their shoulder!
With the haunting of Quentin and the children exploring the closed off rooms, I've been feeling once again that I'd love to live at Collinwood. I realized I haven't felt that way since the pre-Adam days.
I also prefer the entire werewolf concept, at least as it was executed on DS, to the Frankenstein monster theme (this despite my appreciation for the novel "Frankenstein.").
Random thoughts ...
That skeleton was pretty creepy looking -- it wasn't the "bleached white" type you find in biology classrooms. This one looked like it might have some mumified flesh still attached. Shades of "Psycho" when that chair turned around! No wonder they decided to bury it!
Funny no one else ever noticed the false wall in the storage room or wondered what room was behind the windows to Quentin's room when looking from outside.
Which brings me to ...
SPOILER
Whomever that skeleton belonged to ... assuming it was someone who was walled up in that room ... couldn't they have gotten out a window? That wall didn't seem too sturdy either!
Slight discrepancy in Amy and David's story ... everyone seems to have forgotten the storm when Amy and David were supposedly outside seeing the sunrise ...
Wasn't Vicki's wedding anticlimactic ... after all the false starts? Seems her honeymoon may have been rather "anticlimactic" too
The intertwining of the werewolf story with the ghost of Quentin will prove one of the best stories DS did ... I envy any newbies who might be seeing this for the first time ...
I'm excited, too, because, in two weeks, I'll have about six weeks of episodes (well into November) that I've never seen ... the leadup to 1897 ...
