DARK SHADOWS 587

Image
  DARK SHADOWS  587 KLS. 6 months ago Adam didn’t know his own name, now he’s giving orders. Different (?) reprise. It is different but it’s slightly different. It’s a near match. No new material before theme.   Barnabas:   I’ve considered the question of who is to be the life force very carefully, and I’ve finally decided on Maggie Evans. For one reason, she lives alone, and no one would miss her if she were gone for several days. But most importantly, she can be controlled. As Barnabas patiently explains, “Dr. Hoffman has hypnotized her before. She can do it again, and Maggie will have no memory. Now, to me that seems vital.”   Barnabas tells Adam his reasons for using Maggie including that Dr. Hoffman has hypnotized her before. He also tells him about how the experiment was supposed to go. Barnabas would have lived in Adam. No one told him that before. Mike. “I find that hard to believe. I can’t even understand you now.”       ...

DARK SHADOWS 586

  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

 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. Did she even hear the tape? They discuss that Nicholas Blair must be the one advising Adam and Barnabas wants proof but Julia thinks they don’t really need proof. Barnabas instructs Julia to take ...
