The 1897 Storyline Continues... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sean Snow · 01-06-2003, 07:57 PM

I made this topic so us DS fans can talk about the current going ons in this storyline after Sci Fi airs the episodes each day.

I liked today's episodes. I was expecting Barnabas to turn into a bat during the fire, but disappearing I guess is the next best thing. I wonder if Ben has left any clues in his grave? I personally don't think so, Ben wouldn't betray Barnabas' secret since Barnabas was his friend even before all the strange going ons began happening.

Todays episodes were so cool! I loved the ending to the second episode. Laura was like "Who Are You?" then the lightening flashed on Barnabas, I love it! I hate that Laura is leaving this Thursday.

I love her character. I wish they would have brought her back in the later storylines to spice things up a bit.

I agree. I love Laura. Diana Millay was good at playing her. I wish she had been brought back, even if it wasn't as Laura. Tomorrow's episodes look good. Angelique is going to be in the 8:30am episode. I'm looking forward to the interaction between Angelique and Laura in the next five episodes.

I loved today's episodes! The ending with Angelique was great. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's episodes even though Laura's last episode airs tomorrow. Angelique has changed a lot since 1795!

Did you notice the goof Judith made when she said to Laura "What is it? Did something happen to David, Jamison" ? I notice that goof right away it was in the first episode. I guess it is hard trying to remember all those names.

Todays episodes were great. The ending to the second episode was better and more scary like. Tomarrow Laura leaves

I'm not looking forward to this

Yep. They always seemed to forget David Henesy's character's name. A couple of times in 1795 Daniel was called David. I saw a clip from a Joan Bennett interview from 1970 and she said the hardest part of doing the show was memorizing all the names.

I loved the ending for #761 today! With the figure in the window. I'm looking forward to seeing it tomorrow to see who it is. ^-^

I've finally seen Angelique! She's so beautiful in 1897.. -- Well, I think Laura is a big looney. more of a looney than Jenny (I wish she would have stayed longer). I'm REALLY gettin' sick of Barnabas. It's not the character I'm fed up with, it's the actor who plays him. Jeez! he sux at acting, and he always messes up and tries playin it off. I mean, he's supposed to be all mysterious and spooky, but he's constantly studdering and stumbling over his lines, and he looks just so dumb! But, the rest of the cast is really good. I think if Victoria was there, it would be awesome. Isn't she SUPPOSED to be there anyways? She went to 1897 with her love, Jeff/Peter.

I love Angelique in this storyline. Lara Parker is always great as her. She's not going to be on again until #779. I wish there weren't such long periods of time between some of her episodes.

I like Jonathan Frid as Barnabas, but I know we all have different opinions and I can see why you hold yours. ^-^

Victoria went to live in the year 1796 (not 1897) with Peter, so she would've probably died in the first half of the 19th century.

I think Jonathan Frid is a great actor. He's the only guy actor on the show that knows how to actually act. I love the scary looks he gives, like to Laura yesterday when she went to go get her children. I love this show and most of the actors are good.

I also like Jonathan Frid, though I can understand why others may not like him. I agree about the cast. There are a lot of talented actors and actresses on the show, though there are some duds. I love the storylines, especially the ones that take place in the past.

I loved the scene with Quentin and Minerva in the drawing room today! Clarice Blackburn rocked. I loved how it all dawned on her that her husband's roving eyes were set on Judith.

Sean Snow · 01-13-2003, 12:34 PM

Did anyone notice today in the teaser for #764 how the chair Evan was sitting in broke apart right before the credits? I suppose they quickly switched chairs before they returned from commercials.

I didn't notice that. Now that Barnabas is showing everyone he is friendly and wants to help will they still want to kill him after they find out he is a vampire?

A lot of goofs were apparent in Dark Shadows! Especially the so-called special effects! They were pretty bad! Like the bat . How fake can you get!

Also there was a scene in which a page of a book was supposed to be turned by a ghost but the fishline was quite obvious! When we first watched this in the 60's we always got a good laugh! Now don't get me wrong! I loved that show and never missed an episode!

Yeah, the special effects weren't the greatest. But they were good, imo, considering most soap operas never did that and since it had a low budget. A fishline was also seen in an episode where a psychic, Madam Findlay, was looking around an abandoned room. She accidently got her caught for a second in a fishing line that was supposed to open the door.

I am looking forward to tomorrow's episodes. In the first one there is a ghost, and in the second one there is a dream sequence that takes place in the present day with Elizabeth, Roger, Carolyn, David, and Quentin.
