  DARK SHADOWS  552   “The only bond between Barnabas and I is one of friendship.”   “You gave me great strength, Barnabas and a good mind. But you gave me strong feelings with which to love but what good is it to love if I cannot be loved? If you will create a woman for me, Barnabas, I will take her and go away. I will not see you and I will not trouble you again. But if you do not create her…”     Vicki. Who?   Reprise—seems slightly different, neck make up is better on Adam, a different delivery and more candle smoke.     Barnabas insists Dr Lang created Adam while looking at the teleprompter. Lang died two days before the experiment. Barnabas tells the truth!!!?      Despite flubbing over the word experiment, correcting that, and forgetting his lines and saying, “I cannot do that,” after reading the teleprompter (Adam looks at it, too!), Frid is quite good in this scene, showing sympathy and pathos and sadness over his acti...

Those were mostly fads, still great but…if a long lasting effect were to be had, th...
