In which I identify the ultimate Dark Shadows supercouple- greater than Barnabas/ Julia, greater than Barnabas/ Angelique, greater than Quentin/ Whoever, is the immortal and unchallengeable love of Jonathan Frid and the TelePrompter.

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.
Episode 1082: You Don’t Have to Put on the Red Light
Jonathan Frid’s single funniest line.
Episode 1090: Today’s Ten Things That Make No Sense
Sebastian Shaw’s terrible clothes, Julia Hoffman’s ridiculous bossiness, and Barnabas Collins’ apparent sincerity.
Episode 1091: You, the Living
In which I point out that Dark Shadows has kept a key plot point ambiguous for two and a half years, and lament the fact that, in this week of episodes, they resolved that ambiguity in favor of a narrative dead-end.
Episode 1129: Windmills, and How to Tilt at Them
Why I think it’s good that Grayson Hall plays Julia as tired and confused in this part of the series.
Episode 1177: The Unfinished Dream
I chuckle at a silly moment in the episode.
Episode 1225: Strong to the Finish
I mention a moment of intentional comedy in Dark Shadows, one so funny we had to stop the video for a couple of minutes to finish laughing.
Episode 1230: Mortal Engines
I propose some fanfic rebooting the 1841 PT themes and connecting them with other segments of the show.
Episode 1232: My Coffin World
Wherein I mention that the episode gives Grayson Hall her only moment in Dark Shadows where she’s allowed to be sexy, imagine what THE GRADUATE would have been like with her as Mrs Robinson and Keith Prentice as Benjamin, then reply to my own comment to mention my wife’s wish that Bramwell and Daphne would get divorced and that Daphne would get custody of the audience.
