I express delight with an especially hilarious bit of unintentional comedy.

Episode 1044: Weekend at Barney’s
Dark Shadows is not only inconsistent about details of vampire lore, but sometimes tangles itself up in those details in ways that make the show unnecessarily difficult to follow.
Episode 1045: We Belong Dead
I praise John Karlen and Kathryn Leigh Scott for giving us a good scene, and John Karlen and Lara Parker for giving us an extraordinary one.
Episode 1046: Woke
Plot functions of Roxanne Drew.
Episode 1047: The Invention of Feelings
I speak up in defense of the 1970 Parallel Time segment.
Episode 1048: Claw North
The plot function Claude North served.
Episode 1049: All the Secrets
In which I wonder of Burke Devlin was the natural son of Quentin Collins.
Episode 1050: The Fault in Our Stars
A tour of a town in which each resident is hiding in one or another secret chamber.
Episode 1056: The Parallel Sky
I praise another commenter’s suggestion that 1970 Parallel Time (the segment I call “Meet Another Angelique”) would have been better with Alexandra Isles as an evil version of Vicki and Lara Parker as her innocent victim, the second Mrs Quentin Collins. That would make it an inversion of the 1795 storyline (which I call “Meet Angelique.”)
Episode 1057: Infinite Jest
I muse about some of my favorite imaginary recasts and draw responses.
