Episode 924: Pretty Woman
To a discussion about the native regions of various actors, I discuss John Lasell of Vermont and Lara Parker of Tennessee.
Episode 982: Bad Marriages
Why Angelique vs Maggie was a nonstarter in an adaptation of Rebecca.
Episode 1019: Peer at a Prop
Some things I like about “Meet Another Angelique” (a.k.a. 1970 Parallel Time.)
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 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 1131: The Perils of Memory
I express my frustration with the way they bring Angelique on board this segment, and claim that they could easily have done better.
Episode 1144: The Merry Widow
I explain how, without making the show any more complicated than it in fact was, they could have made the various Angeliques logically consistent with each other.
Episode 1177: The Unfinished Dream
I chuckle at a silly moment in the episode.
