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.
Episode 1058: When I Am Not With You
I recommend Daughters of Darkness.
Episode 1061: I’ll Be There For You
I mention a moment that made me laugh.
Episode 1063: Wonderwall
I point out that this episode answers a question many of the commenters had raised on the blog when Barnabas says that Elizabeth put The Old House in the name of Barnabas Collins in the late 1960s.
Episode 1064: Here Comes the Hotstepper
In the episode, Mrs Johnson says that she brushed Carolyn’s hair when she was a little girl. Some say that is a continuity error, since Mrs Johnson didn’t start working for the Collinses until Carolyn was grown. I explain how it could be consistent with the continuity they have established.
Episode 1066: This Is How We Do It
In which I wonder what it might have been like if Dan Curtis had had his way and Bert Convy, rather than Jonathan Frid, had played Barnabas Collins. I then try to imagine Jonathan Frid in Convy’s place as host of Tattletales.
Episode 1067: No More I Love You’s
Why Burke Devlin had to go.
Episode 1069: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
I note the great efficiency of the 1995 Sheriff of Collinsport, and express my relief that the Patterson brothers weren’t on his level in 1967.
Episode 1070: Gangsta’s Paradise
In which I try to solve a riddle that Grayson Hall set for the audience in her performance of the seance scene in this episode.
