How the lack of non-supernatural storylines impoverishes the human characters, making it difficult to pace the supernatural ones.

Episode 968: The Only Weakness
In which I complain that the show has run so low on story ideas to plagiarize that they are trying to turn the title into a plot point. I wonder what the next step is beyond that.
Episode 969: PTED
In which I show that the Collinses of the usual continuity must have been Episcopalians.
Episode 970: A Less Rational Explanation
In which I mention a couple of funny lines Willie gets in the episode.
Episode 979: Jeb Hawkes Must Die
I compare Jeb Hawkes with Pinocchio and a series of murders with Portia Fitzsimmons.
Episode 980: Next Stop Keystone City
I make a joke.
Episode 981: The Clone Wars
I try to figure out how they could have kept the usual continuity alive during periods when most of the action took place in Parallel Time.
Episode 982: Bad Marriages
Why Angelique vs Maggie was a nonstarter in an adaptation of Rebecca.
Episode 984: What We Know
Why I wish Clarice Blackburn had played the housekeeper in the 1970 Parallel Time story.
Episode 985: The Cassandra Complex
In which I wonder the abrupt shift from the end of the Leviathans segment, when Dark Shadows was emphatically a show for children, to the beginning of the 1970 Parallel Time segment, when it was uncompromisingly directed at adults, did lasting damage to the ratings.
