i agree that quentin should have been given the caretaker's cottage,or the carriage house,or even a room at the old house...it is really lame that he's there (in the west wing)
I've just watched the first few eps of the summer of 1970 and not only is it ridiculous that Quentin is in his old room, but the damn thing looks like the
Maid Brigade showed up to CLEAN it! Surely Mrs. Johnson and Harry didn't pull THAT off! It looks as pristine as it did in 1897! AND the room is [spoiler]
intact! No sign that it had been sectioned off to hide the remains of the rotting corpse of Gregory Trask![/spoiler]Hello??!! Too ridiculous, even for DS!
I agree w/everyone that he should have been given either a different room at Collinwood, or at the Old House since he knew about Barnabas anyway, or [spoiler]Chris's cottage since he's now gone from the show/Collinsport. And what's up w/that? Do they SAY he's gone and why? I'm only at the beginning at 1970 so I haven't seen yet. But suddenly Hallie is there and Amy is gone.[/spoiler]And can I just say that y'all were right! Hallie is annoying as hell! Only 3 or 4 eps in and I hate her already!
Thoughts on 1995: I really liked the plotline but feel an opportunity was lost. In the scene where [spoiler]Julia, under Gerard's power, tells Barnabas to go back to 1970 w/out her because she'll only betray him again, and he says, "Not w/out you. NEVER w/out you!", that was the perfect opportunity to hook those two up! He could have even kissed her. I mean, his thing w/Roxanne was about as ridiculous as Quentin's thing w/Amanda Harris! Where's the chemistry folks?
But anyway, I generally like 1970 PT but not the characters. The only character's I liked were: Alexis (the REAL one), Cyrus, Buffie and Liz. Everyone else annoyed the hell out of me, although Roger
was funny![/spoiler]
So far I'm liking 1970 and the groovy Sebastian Shaw! Those leather pants??!! Ho mama-sita!
HOTTTT! But anyway, I can't wait to get to the end of it so that I can officially say I've seen every ep of DS!
