Episode 633/634: All Our Dead Have Turned Into Skeletons
‘“All Our Dead Have Turned Into Skeletons,” the hit single from “I’m Your Zombie,” the debut album from Jeb and the Leviathans.‘
Episode 637: Bury Me a Little
I contribute to a discussion about the death of Burke Devlin.
Episode 639: Vampire Excites Wives, Young Set
Praise for child actors Denise Nickerson, David Henesy, and Sharon Smyth.
Episode 642: Mind Over Manners
I make the case that the growing friendship between Vicki and David was not only the best thing about the first 42 weeks of the show, but that Alexandra Moltke Isles’ and David Henesy’s performances in that story were the purest example in the whole series of good acting overcoming weak writing.
Episode 643: Interceding with Oscar
In which I point out that the Barnabas who kidnapped Maggie had far more in common with Boris Karloff’s Mummy than with any previous vampire story.
Episode 644: Phoning It In
In which I appreciate David and Amy’s transformation into an old married couple.
Episode 646: The Turning
Some humor that may have been intentional on the part of the writer and director, and that certainly cracked the actors up.
Episode 647: The Wire
A little discussion about the name “Janet Findley.”
Episode 648: Astral Disturbances
Where I wish Cavada Humphrey had played Barnabas’ bossy big sister in the 1795 flashback, and say that there is no real reason why that sister couldn’t have been Sarah.
