barnabas collins – Page 39 – Dark Shadows Commentary

Episode 712: The Neverending Story

In which I say that Angelique’s hatred of Josette makes the two of them more of a supercouple than are Barnabas and either woman.

In which I say that Dark Shadows did, contrary to what people keep saying, reboot The Mummy.

In which I mention that Barnabas could have solved a lot of his problems in his first sixteen weeks on the show if he’d just bitten Burke Devlin.

Jonathan Frid’s greatest work as an acting teacher?

Dracula meets The Fugitive.

In which I note that Magda, having inherited Julia’s habit of addressing herself to “Barnabas Barnabas,” has started speaking to “Quentin Quentin.”

In which I opine that the show would be more interesting if Barnabas were smarter.

In which I object to Roger Davis.

I go on about the relationship between Barnabas and Josette, finding value in its insipidity.

Praise for Jonathan Frid.
