DARK SHADOWS 528

Image
  DARK SHADOWS 528 “All this time and energy you’ve wasted on this Barnabas Collins.”   “I’m allergic to the cold myself unfortunately.”   Lara. The narration mentions the dream and that the final person to have it will be alone and return to a former state. Why not go the whole spoiler hog and tell us that instead of dying Barnabas will become a vampire again!? No reprise. Vicki and Jeff talk about leaving. Jeff, the jerk, tells her it is only a dream!     WHAT? Jeff vs Vicki over Stokes. Something falls as they argue. She gets an, “IDK what’s going on in your head.”     Vicki tells Jeff he cuts her out of what he is feeling. He’s annoying when he feels it’s a bad thing that she cares more for him than he cares for himself. What a dope he is.     She thinks he’s depressed and he is jealous of Barnabas. Jeff tells her that Barnabas loves her. She insists “No, he does not!”       WHAT? She says something like, “Since I’ve been living here I’ve seen so man

  DARK SHADOWS  527 “How astonishing life is.”   Thayer David. No reprise but a full detailed narration.   It is an hour later. WE KEEP SEEING THE SAME STILL FOR THE NARRATION and it’s starting to get on my nerves. And it looks bad, a far cry from the earlier years. There is talk of Vicki’s “missing hours”.     The painting is back to its full image. Blair tells Jeff and Vicki, “How astonishing life is.”   He feels the most interesting things in life are the unexplained.     He feels he and Jeff will meet again. Jeff feels the same way. WHAT? If Vicki is still in the house and Jeff comes to see her often and Blair is now living there thanks to Roger’s invitation last episode, they are sure to “meet” again.   Also: WHY does Jeff keep referring to Vicki’s sleepwalking as “that night” when it IS the same night as this scene?   AND: Jeff now seems to remember Angelique/Cassandra and refers to her powers. So, now he knows she is the witch?     Tomorrow Je

  DARK SHADOWS 526 Vicki. Reprise. It seems as if they used different shots. During the lightning part though, there is a loud buzzing sound as if FLASH GORDON from the 1930s and 40s were buzzing overhead in a firecracker spouting rocket ship.     The screams now sound like Lara Parker. Angelique returns as Cassandra. The credits have issues.     Blair seems to have brought her back just so he can insult and chide her about how could she let this happen. He has to untie her. She was afraid he would not find her and would not hear her calls. When did she do this? Was she destroyed as she says or was she turned into a ghost? Was she in hell? What? She almost flubs a question she asks him.     Blair tells her that her predicament is because she has allowed herself to feel emotion…it weakens her. She will now no nothing but hate and vengeance.     She declares she hates Barnabas Collins. If she loves, her power is not as strong. Blair tells her that he will not sa
