  THINGS STAFF AND FANS WOULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE TOLD MOFFAT   1-bow ties are not cool 2-Fezzes are not cool 3-TARDISes do not have brakes 4-Not all women are shallow and vapid 5-The Doctor knows how to be an adult, how to communicate with humans, and has sex 6-Yes, Moffat, you need a written plan for every season and to give it to your writers 7-the classic series does not suck 8-Nah, this DOES need a rewrite 9-give it to someone else to approve 10-DW can do a fairy tale once in a while but it is NOT consistently a fairy tale 11-DW is not just urgent standing 12-DW is not just about good to great first episodes: it can be great every time 13-Killing off your characters too often CAN and will dilute your tension in an ongoing show 14-NO 15-Don’t 16-Stop 17-River living backward from the Doctor IS a great idea 18-River being the Doctor’s so called wife (he gay though and always has been) is good 19-River or any new ally being used to tr...

DARK SHADOWS 621

Image
  DARK SHADOWS 621 Nicholas. No reprise. Is that 5:05 pm or am? Or some other time? A pacing and nervous Julia calls up to Willie asking if he’s dressed yet. “I’m coming! I’m coming!” he yells down.   “We’re his conscious, Willie, you and I.” She explains that is why this time he didn’t rely on them. He wanted to be part of the vampire but then did not. When he asks who would do this to him, making him like he was before, she answers, “Angelique, Angelique Collins.”   Julia recounts how the vampire called to her, “Come to me. Come to me.”   Willie asks why Julia talks about an Angelique like he should know who that is. “Idk any Angelique!”   She asks him if he has ever seen that portrait Vicki bought in the Antique Shop, “The one with the blond woman with the strange, intense eyes?”   He has and Julia explains that is Angelique and she was married to Barnabas. He wants to go now and destroy her right now.   Nicholas returns home (...

DARK SHADOWS 620

  DARK SHADOWS 620 “Cassandra has come back as Angelique.”   “I do not lie.”     “Later, I’ll tell you everything later.”     “Once I had it too. Once others felt drawn to me as I am to you now. Did I understand then the feelings, the regrets, the hatred that they must have had for me then.”   Vicki. The reprise is very close to the original but it IS slightly different so refilmed. Julia voice over reprise. Then from her mouth, Julia says, “It’s Angelique Collins!”   rather than last weeks, “It..it’s…”   Julia talks and then has a voice over. “Cassandra has come back as Angelique.”     She goes into the house and is almost immediately cornered by Adam. Adam is ill however and she worries. She asks to search the house and he tells her Barnabas is not here. “I do not lie.”   Sure, he does. And has.   He rises again after sitting and tells her to go and find Barnabas to make them both well but...

DARK SHADOWS 619

  DARK SHADOWS 619 “I…I’ve got no choice. No matter how dangerous it is, I’ve got to have a showdown with Nicholas Blair.” “It…It’s…Angelique Collins!” “You know a lot more than you’ve been telling. I know that you’ve been under the spell of a vampire.”   “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Dr. Hoffman, I never play games.”   “Barnabas is the victim of a vampire.”   “But what I don’t understand is why you’ve allowed it to go so far.”   “I don’t make serious mistakes.” “I do believe I’ve upset you.”   “Yes, it is getting late in the day, isn’t it?”   “Don’t try my patience, doctor. Don’t do it.” “Dr. Hoffman, I rather admire you for coming here this afternoon.”     “If anything happens to Barnabas Collins, Adam will die.”     Julia. Oddly and maybe a first, the narration (which makes note of day time horror) stops and Barnabas in a very close reprise says some lines and then the narration starts again. It makes note of a s...
