STRANGE PARADISE 21

  STRANGE PARADISE 21 “Run, all of you. Run as fast as you can. While you still can.” “And they call me a devil?” “…and I’ve been through hell on occasions…”  “…I may have to play devil’s advocate.”   “You? Where does that leave me?” “Amphetamines, barbiturates, ergots, morphine, there are enough drugs here to keep the entire hippy population happy well on their way to flower heaven.”   No narration! Jac pssstts Jean over to him and spars with him, sarcastically going over the fact that Jean loves his wife Erica who is dearly departed but longs for her newly arrived sister Erica. “And they call me a devil?” He laughs.   Allison vs Jean Paul over him taking tranquilizers when she comes down the steps and finds him suffering from a headache. He doesn’t want to take pills but she insists and when he says he doesn’t take orders, she requests it. She wants to prescribe something stronger if the headaches persist. He brings up that Quito will get something. ...

DARK SHADOWS 626

  DARK SHADOWS 626 “The sad case of Victoria Winters and Peter Bradford. Now go on back to Collinwood.” “Touch me, Mr. Collins. Touch me.” “About how this book, this book that I carried into the past that I left in a …a courthouse in Collinsport in the year 1795, has suddenly reappeared.”   “Please don’t think about it.”   “I want to understand.”   “But you’ll never understand.” “Is there a law against opening your own casket?”   “Well, we don’t know who to send this back to, do we? A mysterious woman named Eve, who appears to be able to travel in time.” Vicki. An early dusk. The narration is partly drowned out by thunder. All the guests have left so it is the same night. Different delivery. We also see shots of Vicki inside, Liz removing the veil, which were not in the cliffhanger or in last episode at all.   The reprises are all almost identical now except for one or two bits of dialog. And delivery. Jeff, for example, asks, “Is there a law against ...

DARK SHADOWS 625

  DARK SHADOWS  625  “I’m not going to disappear. Collinwood will always be home to me.”   “ Nothing ever works out for any of us, does it?" "I prayed that for once everything would be well.” "The past does follow us, doesn't it? No matter how independent we think we are, it follows us."  "Is there a law against opening your own coffin?" “You really think you’ve come from the past, don’t you?” “I don’t understand myself. I don’t understand anything.” "I don't understand you!" "You never let me understand." Louis. Day. No reprise. Guests assembled, the narration tells us.   Right there, I can tell the difference between today’s soaps and the cheaper made DS: today’s soaps would have the wedding shown, guests and all, mingling right there in the house.   DS avoids the entire thing probably due to budget. No one is seen at the near-wedding. Shame.   Liz is in blue; Vicki in her gown. Jeff smokes near the fountain at the terrace. Ev...
