DARK SHADOWS 579
DARK SHADOWS 579
“Adam has disappeared.”
“And his disappearance places
Miss Winters in great danger. Greater than ever before.”
“He threatened to kill
Victoria Winters.”
“Yes, if we’re successful,
this creature will be a living human being.”
Vicki. No reprise. Jeff
Clark. Voice over.
NOTE: or rather QUESTION: is
this the first time we HEAR the sound effect of the waves hitting the rocks? I’d
have sworn it is.
Julia finds Jeff in the lab
and with her/Lang notebook. She locks it away in a glass case.
Flub from Jeff: bring
Art…bring Adam.
Jeff questions Julia about
the girl they will use. Julia gives him a IDK that yet. Jeff gets a rare, “Well,
I understand that.”
Jeff Voice over.
Close up on Barnabas’ cane,
the wolfs head cane. “Nothing has
happened, that’s what’s wrong.”
Julia: “I don’t understand.”
Barnabas is puzzled as to why
he’s not heard of any attacks in Collinsport as he knows there is a vampire on
the loose. He was in Collinsport and heard nothing. He’s glad. So is she. However,
someone made Tom Jennings a vampire and Barnabas asks why he hasn’t attacked anyone
else. Julia: IDK.
Julia and he discuss Blair.
Willie has been watching Blair’s house. Where is the vampire? Julia tells him about Jeff. Barnabas is not
fond of him. Julia tells him that she doesn’t trust him as much as she used to
and doesn’t know why. Julia: IDK again.
Vicki comes to the Old House.
She tells them Stokes is on his way up. Vicki asks Barnabas if she can talk to
Julia alone. She asks if Jeff is healthy. He is. Barnabas encounters Jeff in
the basement. Squeaking.
He tells Jeff that Vicki
wanted to talk to Julia alone. Jeff asks about what. Barnabas says, “I don’t
know.”
Jeff’s been busy and when
Vicki asks doing what, Julia says, “I don’t know.” He has no steady job. He hasn’t had a job
since he worked for Dr. Lang and that was “months ago.”
Jeff listens to the two women
talking. Vicki tells Julia she is very unhappy. Jeff has cancelled dates and
not really spoken to Vicki. Julia takes Vicki back to Collinwood. Jeff voice
over.
Stokes comes and tells
Barnabas that Adam has disappeared. Mike Shadow. Jeff comes to the two men. As
the three men talk, we see the shadow of the mic rigging. Stokes and Barnabas
tell Jeff that Adam has disappeared and this puts Vicki in greater danger. Jeff
gets an IDU.
Stokes explains that Adam
fell in love with Carolyn and now that he’s been rejected, he might be violent.
Jeff has not had a job in a
month. Mic shadow over Vicki and Jeff. Vicki breaks up with Jeff and runs
upstairs. Jeff Voice over. This includes, “…and you can’t understand. Maybe you’ll
never understand.”
Julia in the lab, tells
Barnabas that the body is almost complete. Soon, they will bring to life a
living human being.
Review FROM THE PAST: Not sure. It
seems…sort of boring and bidding time. The constant voice overs seem
unnecessary.
They should only be used when
a point has to be made that can’t be made by someone just watching.
Soon voice overs are all over
the place. It’s sort of distracting and gives us reason to hate the voice
overs. They should be used for major things and not as filler. Still, they fill
time…but is that a good thing?
The next two episodes give us
more biting, more Adam threats…thank goodness the ones after those two are
much, much better with a GREAT storyline starting with Maggie and Willie and
the past events of the show…
Dark Shadows bloopers to watch out for:
As Jeff starts to read Julia’s notebook, someone in the studio coughs.
Jeff tells Julia, “I know that, uh, you found the life force to bring Art — uh, Adam — to life.”
When Barnabas blocks Jeff from going upstairs, there’s a loud squeak from the studio.
Behind the Scenes:
In the credits, Ramse Mostoller is now credited as “costume design: Mostoller”. I don’t really understand the significance of this, but there you are.
