DARK SHADOWS 447

 DARK SHADOWS 447 Nancy B. A note about the narrations: sometimes they mention Victoria Winters by name, sometimes they use the word girl and sometimes they use the word woman. The reprise is different and there is a zoom in on Joshua as he realizes the gun did no good.

Always loved Martha.   SMITH AND JONES is very enjoyable. The Doctor’s acting like a show off which he admits in GRIDLOCK and he’s also not very nice to Martha’s co worker, who at least, later on, is shown caring for a patient while Martha ch...
