I go on at length about some of the imaginary recasting I would do in my head to keep myself awake during dull parts of the show.

Time Travel, part 14: It Is What It Is
I speculate about ways in which House of Dark Shadows could have been better.
Episode 1179/1180: Communication with the Dead
I make reference to current events, and a long discussion ensues.
Episode 1181: You, Again
I express my appreciation for a blooper.
Episode 1186: Fuck, Marry, Kill
I made two comments o this post. The one linked above discusses Daughters of Darkness, a 1971 film in which John Karlen plays a character who at first seems to be living the fantasy life of young men of the period, but who by the end turns out to be uncannily like Willie Loomis. He even has to dig a grave under the supervision of a vampire and the vampire’s short-haired female friend.
In the other comment, I explain my theory of how the events of the “Meet Gerard” arc (which includes 1995, 1970, and 1840) are undone by the end of episode 1198.
Episode 1187: I Presume You’ve Never Heard About Something Called Parallel Time
I describe episodes 1061-1198 as “Meet Gerard,” and try to think of ways that 1199-1245 could have been made more interesting.
Episode 1187: I Presume You’ve Never Heard About Something Called Parallel Time
Episode 1188: Don’t Panic
I make a reference to current events.
Episode 1199: The Wuthering
A couple of ways they might have improved the 1841 Parallel Time story if Jerry Lacy had still been on the show.
Episode 1203: Frocks and Violence
I notice a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on display in the Collinwood of 1841 Parallel Time. That starts me on a tangent about the overlap of the cast of Dark Shadows with that of 1776 which ends with me imagining what the 1841 PT segment might have been like with Ken Howard instead of Keith Prentice as Morgan Collins.
Episode 1212: Once in Every Generation
One last time, I speak up in defense of Alexandra Moltke Isles’ acting.
