I hope KLS's copy-editor learns the correct spelling of Helena's name before the book actually goes to press.

Interesting point, Cousin, about the lighting chosen for that photo.  The 1967 original had very much a nighttime feel to it, didn't it?  And I'm sure that this photo was taken on an indoor stage-set, not in some real mansion.

The one for hoDS is a delight as well... you chose two of my favorite images of Julia and Liz for it... I gather that this one will also change monthly as well.

cheers, G.

She-wolf and Forever Knight are both great shows, but I don't own She-wolf.  I did watch the DVDs via Netflix and that was enough.  I thought the LA episodes worked better than is usually claimed, but you do have to completely swtich circuits because the feel and flavor changes so drastically.  The London shows were more consistent and had a really great recurrent cast, notably the actress who played Ian's aunt--I think her name was Dorothea Philips.  There's also a hilarious episode where they spoof Star Trek and its conventions, "Beyond the Beyond."  This was later turned into a full-length novel by writer Lee Goldberg.

I remember seeing some fun episodes of Friday the 13th back when it was on in the early 1990s.  I haven't felt moved to check out the DVD release.

Of them all I would say Forever Knight is to me the most iconic, and that is mainly (for me) because of the brilliant central performances by lead actor Geraint Wyn Davies, Nigel Bennett (who also appeared on Psi Factor, a show that is worth checking out--some of the season 3 discs are available through Netflix), and Deborah Duchene.  The actress who played the doctor trying to cure Nick who fell in love with him a la Julia Hoffman was very good as well.  Unlike on DS, Nick did at least somewhat reciprocate the dr's feelings for him.  (Although as often discussed, one could argue that Barnabas did reciprocate Julia's feelings on some level--he just did a very poor job of expressing it--AND a tendency to rove after the latest Sweet Young Thing on the scene!)

It's fabulous to see it today, MB!  Thanks again!

Best,

It IS interesting, Cathy, given that the ONLY promotional material that has been released were three magazine photographs four months ago.

The fact that the title is showing up on all these lists is almost enough to make one wonder about payola... but, we know the "Industry" doesn't operate that way any longer ... don't we?  *wink*

Did the MTV weekly DS column/feature dry up? I figured it might have done simply for lack of material...

G.

I thought it was "mustang vest"--a style of vest popular in the late Sixties--more Quentin's line than Barnabas', actually.
