Got a 404 URL on that, Jim.  I looked around on the Entertainment page but could find no sign of the article.

Looking now at the rest of this thread... there were several specific dates given over the course of the years, from 1966 through 1971.

For example, I remember Vicki finding a dated document about the dismissal of servants from Collinwood in the late 1940s on which she found the name of Hanscombe, the butler (to whom she may or may not have been related).

When Laura Collins arrived in December of '66, Maggie Evans asked if she was coming in to town "for the holidays," a clear reference to X-mas.

There were specific dates for the fiery immolation of the woman in Phoenix, Arizona, and Laura's arrival in C'port.

Jumping ahead, I remember that Grandma-mamma Edith Collins' will was dated March 3, 1897 (yes, when you watch certain episodes several times over the years, you do remember these things).

When Vicki arrived in 1795, the announcement of the date of Barnabas and Josette's wedding (read from the newly-engraved invitations) sent her into a faint.

Paul Stoddard was told to expect "payment due" on a certain date in December, 1969.

I could go on, but I am afraid I am trying folks' patience as it is.

Hi Midnite!

Regarding Drogyn,

[spoiler]I did hear dialogue that stated he was immortal.  Plus, it seemed as if he had been in some part of the Otherworld.  So I don't see how he could have been "killed."  But the lack of any sense to this stuff is why I got out of the Buffyverse years ago.[/spoiler]

Oh, that was David Fury?  Hm, must explain why that dialogue was sooo exSCREWxiatingly awful.  I couldn't help giggling throughout that chick in the Cher wig's speeches.  I wondered whether she was medicated because of how relentlessly deadpan her delivery was.  The I decided it was the only way she could get through the dialogue without busting up.

Just a question--are the "Senior Partner" demons supposed to look like ad execs in really bad Halloween costumes?  Or is that part meant to be ironic?

Thanks for posting this link, Nancy.  There were some fun essays that had been added since my last visit.  I particularly enjoyed the one about JF's training to "de-Canadianize" his voice--the Canadian twang on the word "house" really does jump out at me every time I'm back in Ottawa.

Wow.  Wouldn't it be hot if the series finale involved a 3 way between Adam Baldwin, James Marsters and Boreanaz?

probably a snowball chance's in Hell of seeing anything like this on the Froggy Bore, but we can dream.

Oh yeah. Did you ever see The Cat Creature?  It was an early 70s TV movie (on "ABC Movie of the Week") directed by Curtis Harrington with juicy roles for Gale Sondergaard and John Carradine, plus a tarot card scene that looked just like a salute to DS.

That, and "The Two Deaths of Sean Doolittle" (with supporting roles for Grayson Hall and Diana Davila) are at the top of my want lists.

In the Innovation comic books based upon the 1991 remake, they showed what Barnabas looked like after having been trapped in a coffin with no blood supply for 172 years.

I have to wonder whether one of these guys is meant to be Barnabas as Willie first lays eyes upon him when he cracks open the chained coffin.

I'd also love for Karlen to have been given a part in the new series.

Thanks to Ben Martin for continuing to delight us with his photographic panache, and to Stuart for sharing this on his site.
