DARK SHADOWS 550

  DARK SHADOWS  550   “There was a man who had a unique dream. Believed that he could create a human being. He believed that his creation would have the strength of a lion and the mind of a genius. Two months ago his dream became reality. An incredible experiment was performed and it was successful. The result was that you began to breath…to live. Do you understand me, Adam?”   One thing that occurs to me: if Blair is seen to be so much stronger that Angelique…why doesn’t he pop up to help her or debate her in other storylines?   AND why is it that in 546 he thinks she’s been born in 1774 when clearly she’s not…at least in light of later storylines that are thrown up by writers concerning her as Miranda Duval in the 1660s?   Maybe a few things: maybe is unaware of that or of her having had other lives; maybe he just considers Angelique being born in her Angelique life; maybe he’s not as powerful most of the time as she is. She also did not d...

BIG FINISH’s DARK SHADOWS-BLOODLINE Episode 13

  BIG FINISH’s DARK SHADOWS-BLOODLINE Episode 13   Boy Carl asks to see baby Quentin and loving Anna lets him. Geoffrey worries he will wake Quentin. We hear the Quentin theme, a new version of it, under the scene. Carl says they will be really good friends, he stutters, not like stuffy Edward or boring Judith. Carl thinks Quentin will be his very best friend until the day when he will die.   NOTE: this is sad and morbid for a number of reasons, one of which focuses on what awful people both Barnabas and Quentin both are, for both conspired toward Carl’s death when Carl found out, as an adult, about Barnabas being a vampire.

It was one of the worst things both of them ever did.   And Carl, somewhat of a goofy and camp character, was not evil and not bad but a good man mostly. Not sure the mini series does any favors by pointing all this out in the wor...
