DARK SHADOWS 586

Image
  DARK SHADOWS   586   “You are a very imposing man, Barnabas. And I still find it difficult not to be frightened by your manner.”   “Love is not a word that I use.”   “Barnabas saw Adam?”   “I don’t know. He makes no sense. I tried to question him but he’s too upset about Vicki. He seems to know it was Adam without explanation.”   Nancy Barrett. Different reprise and it looks edited differently. Different shots. Adam Voice Over.   Vicki passes out. Adam seems upset that he’s killed her and looks at his own hands. Carolyn comes to Barnabas to try to open the door. She runs for the key and says, IDU. He tells her he cannot explain.   Adam leaves out the window. When they get the door open, Barnabas exclaims, “Thank God.”   We see the Afghan. Or an Afghan.   Barnabas does tell Carolyn that Adam did this to Vicki, who seems alive. He tells her to get Julia. A small part of his dialog as he talks to ...

DARK SHADOWS 585

Image
 DARK SHADOWS  585 Vicki. There is one hour of daylight left. Different reprise. Dialog is different and Julia’s hair seems different. No mic shadow. Faster dialog. Clunk after credits.   Julia vs Barnabas over whether or not to kill Adam. Barnabas tells her he has to or otherwise Vicki will be killed, does she know another way? Julia: “I don’t know.”     It might cost him his life or he might revert. Julia reminds him of the tape recorder, Eric’s message, and the near death of Adam and himself. HANG ON A MOMENT: how does Julia know about the connection between Adam and Barnabas? Was I just not paying attention and missed something?   I thought they knew various clues but not the exact nature of all of it. Here, it seems Julia knows the entire thing.

STARFLEET ACADEMY-s1e6: COME, LET’S AWAY (SPOILERS)

  STARFLEET ACADEMY-s1e6: COME, LET’S AWAY (SPOILERS)   What all the conflict in the reviews have caused is that…we or rather maybe just I, can’t really watch with a freedom of just watching. This episode, like all the others, like all TREK really, has issues but it’s fast paced, action packed, and makes more sense. Sure, why are cadets allowed on the bridge in a crisis? Why are they training on a real destroyed ship when there are holodecks? If Tarima could do that, why didn’t she just do it sooner? And SAM continues to not make sense: if she’s a holoimage person, she should not be able to be shot or at the very least, she can vanish and go onto the ship to safety. Her entire presence is a mistake, despite her still doing more to save the team than say, Jay Den, who seems to toss one of the Furies (who gave them that name? aren’t those female monsters from Greek mythology?) and Kyle who shoots maybe one or two?   It’s truly shocking that there are two deaths (S...
