Episode 707: Another Jane
I speak in defense of the much-maligned Alexandra Moltke Isles.
Episode 730: How I Met Your Mother
Why I liked the original Phoenix story.
Episode 820: The Hand Shakedown
In which I point out that the Charles/ Amanda relationship starts as an inversion of the Vicki/ Jeff relationship.
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 1067: No More I Love You’s
Why Burke Devlin had to go.
Episode 1147: The Strain
I say that David Henesy and Alexandra Moltke Isles, as David and Vicki in the first 42 weeks of Dark Shadows, used nonverbal communication to triumph over poor writing to present an interesting story of a troubled boy and a young woman learning to trust each other. I then try to explain why Henesy was unable to repeat that success as Tad in the “Meet Gerard” segment of the series.
Time Travel, part 13: Total Blood Volume
In which I point out to Danny Horn and his readers that he has inadvertently solved a mystery that had puzzled him and them, revealing how the young Thayer David could have been “the handsomest man at Harvard,” as his classmate John Simon told Alexandra Moltke Isles he was.
Episode 1212: Once in Every Generation
